So, Dead Rising 3, the next in the Dead Rising series, has been announced for sometime late this year. Aaaand it’s an Xbox One exclusive, worse luck. (I’m a PC gamer.) I shouldn’t be too surprised since the first game was an Xbox exclusive and the second only came out on PC much later. Anyway, good news for Xbox fans.

As for the trailer itself, it’s got plenty of good and bad going for it. The visuals are amazing, and the hordes of zombies are absolutely enormous. However, what’s with all of the brown and black? There are times where I seriously have trouble seeing what’s going on, and it’s not just the trailer. I saw some gameplay footage as well and there were parts that didn’t take place in dark rooms but it was so hard to make out details that they might as well have.  Here’s a tip to developers: Monochromatic color palettes aren’t very easy on the eyes.

Hopefully a bit of color gets added to an otherwise cool-looking game. We’ll see if it lives up to its legacy.
