Rumor: Dead Rising 3 Set In California, Stars Auto Mechanic



Word on the street is that the follow up to Dead Rising 2 will be set in California, star a mechanic, and involve escaping the doomed city on a cobbled-together plane.

The auto mechanic’s name is Rick, and it sounds like he’s a little less confident in his zombie-slaying abilities right off the bat compared to Chuck and Frank. The city of Los Perdidos, California is set to be cleared out by a huge bomb, and Rick plans to escape on a plane. Featuring a goal that sounds similar to Dead Rising 2: Case 0’s motorcycle building, Rick must gather pieces to build a plane.

Siliconera also reports that Dead Rising 3 will touch on themes of illegal immigration. A leader named Red leads a band of infected illegals through the chaos-stricken city. Red’s girlfriend Annie, a defender of the infected folk, will also play a role in the story. The only other character speculated to be in the game is a psychopathic biker who drives a motorcycle customized with steam roller parts. Sounds pretty nasty.

Capcom isn’t commenting on the rumors just yet, so sit tight for now. Are you ready for more Dead Rising?

  • As a Californian, I couldn't be happier!
  • My first taste of the franchise was Dead Rising 2 and I loved it. I didn't pick Off the Record because it was just a Director's Cut of the game I had, but I'm very eager to ear more of the third iteration. If it's as good as the game I've played, I totally want it!
  • Ok so first we hear Frank will start in a new adventure or something and now there are rumors of a DR3 but without Frank. This is confusing although it could explain the whole vacation thing Frank mentioned. Maybe he will make an appearance?
  • Another Dead Rising already? I don't know, I think they should hold off a little longer. I also think it would be neat if they added monsters other than Zombies. I am really sick of every single horror game being about the walking dead, and I think it would be nice if they added giant spiders, or weird demons or something. Don't get me wrong, I love Dead Rising. It's just that this feels a little too soon.
  • I enjoyed Dead Rising 2. I'll be honest though, I don't know how excited I am about a third. Maybe if I see more on the rumored title, I could gauge my feelings on the whole thing.

  • awesome

  • I have tried and tried to get into Dead Rising. I just hate it. I will probably give this a rent though.
  • I just hope there is like a barricade building system

  • This looks interesting. I only require checkpoints.

  • I hope this is true.
