what's up Internet Kevin here bringing us just a quick little video to talk about the latest DLC for Dead Rising 3 let's see if we can get through the name without messing up super ultra Dead Rising 3 arcade remix hyper edition IX + alpha now this was both simultaneously announced and released during Microsoft's press conference and was really one of the bigger surprises to come out of it is basically Capcom vancouver's love letter to fans of all things Capcom while it is Dead Rising 3 at its core the DLC pulls a lot of influence from other Capcom franchises some big some small including the likes of Megaman Street Fighter rival schools Breath of Fire Darkstalkers Onimusha and much much more the entire experience is one big tongue-in-cheek arcade style game in which a single player or up to four players online can work together to accomplish a number of different tasks within a time limit such as killing so many zombies rescuing pixelated survivors or just destroyed different objective points players can choose to control one of four different major dead rising characters from the whole series but more importantly you can lock playable variations of them cause playing as other Capcom characters and getting abilities and fighting styles mimicking them some are relatively low-key like getting a lot of gun attacks while some can get really crazy like summoning dinosaurs or using magic players don't start out with any of these costumes though they have to unlock them by saving up money from completing missions or meeting certain prerequisites like playing a certain character so many times or finding arcade cabinets hidden in levels the heart and soul of this game really is in both its silliness and nostalgia factors the amount of crazy things you can do with each costume is absolutely insane and if you're a gamer that's kept up with a lot of different Capcom titles there's all kinds of different little references and gems to set off your nostalgia factor not just in the costumes alone but in levels featuring theme songs from previous games like dials theme from Street Fighter 2 or Megaman X 2's opening theme power-ups like Arthur's golden helm from ghosts and goblins with the beard included or even mission objectives like destroying a car fighting zombified versions of Capcom villains now while it is completely silly and tons of fun to play at first and you'll just find yourself laughing a bunch while playing it there are certain downsides to this game mainly in terms of just the amount of content has to offer and its core gameplay the game only has four levels overall and all of them can be completed in a single sitting level objectives don't scale with party size and it's possible to do the whole thing solo so with two players it becomes and at three or four players it gets the point of being so simple that you're mainly playing it just to see which of you can get the highest score amongst the group with little to no difficulty from the game itself a single playthrough might feel like enough to just get through the game's challenges but as I said earlier the main appeal of this game is its nostalgia and silly factors so there's a very good chance that if you get into what the game has to offer you'll probably end up doing two to three full playthroughs at the least so you can unlock all the different costumes you can which thankfully bumps up the game's playtime value there's really only so much that can be said about a game whose core mechanic and goal is so simple and straightforward but what's really great about this DLC is that it's so transparent you basically get exactly what you think you're paying for and for being such a very specific niche type of DLC it's just amazing I do wish it was standalone I really feel like a lot more people would be willing to check this out that don't already own Dead Rising 3 and it always saddens me to see an arcade-style co-op game like this not offer local couch co-op but still at $10 anyone who's a longtime fan of Capcom titles or just a fan of doing really silly shit in a game will find this really easily worth purchasing if you already own the base game and if you don't this might just be the final straw to push you towards it or make it a future purchase to keep in mind once it's price starts to drop so that was just a quick look
