• Nightmare Mode - "No auto-saves; clock is ticking; we'll fail your ass if you don't make it to the next mission in time.

• If player levels up categories, any weapon in that category can be used. For example the Iron Edge requires a Machete and Broadsword (Dead Rising 3). If a player upgrades his blade category, any blade can be used to create the Iron Edge, like a Chef's Knife.^[13]

Dead Rising 3 spotted on online resumes

Testing rumors

1. He/she tested the game on the Xbox 360. The gameplay and story seemed very established and there were only a few glitches.
2. The main character is Rick - the same character mentioned in the DR3 rumors last year. The game takes place in Los Perdidos - also from last year's rumors. (The user misspelled it as "Los Perididos".)
3. The environment is set up in neighborhoods. Almost all the stores/houses were accessible. The user had to drive on highways to get from neighborhood to neighborhood.
4. You still earn PP and level up accordingly. There isn't any photography.
5. Weapon combining has returned. However, there aren't any combo cards. The players brings up a menu by pressing LB and selects two weapons to combine.
6. A player can also combine vehicles by parking them side by side and pressing LB.
7. After less than 20 minutes of playing, the user got a notice that stated, "Co-Op now available."
8. Psychopaths are still present. One of them is the leader of the biker gang. He was introduced screaming, "KILL EVERYTHING!"
9. There are no connections or references made to the past Dead Rising games.
10. The controls are very similar to Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2.
11. The graphics are much improved over Dead Rising 2. Not "cutting edge", but they would look great on next generation consoles.
12. The cutscenes were buggy and incomplete.^[27]

[edit]Trivia

• The main character, Nick Ramos, is the first Hispanic protagonist of the Dead Rising series.
• The game is the first installment of the Dead Rising series to be set in an City environment.
• Dead Rising 3 marks the second time a main title in the series is an Xbox exclusive.
• The slogan for Dead Rising 3 (judging by the trailers and website) is "Welcome to the After Party". It is unknown what this means, however it could be a reference to the outbreak being the "after party" of a large event that occurred in Los Perdidos before the outbreak occurred. Another possible explanation could be a reference to Agent S's line to Frank West in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, "It's about time you showed up for the after party".
