According to a report at Siliconera, Dead Rising 3 is in development with a new main character named Rick, and the game will be set in the Californian town of Los Perdidos. Capcom yesterday teased that a new Dead Rising game may be on the way through an update on the official Dead Rising Facebook page that read:
"I'm getting packing for my new adventure €“ camera, notebook and baseball bat. What else would i need for a break in paradise? - Frank"
The picture above is supposedly concept art for the new Dead Rising 3 protagonist Rick who is said to be an auto-mechanic who is trying to fix a plane to leave the city which has been locked down because of the zombie outbreak. In addition, supposedly the game has a undercurrent theme about illegal immigration. A character named Red leads a group of people called the "illegals" who are infected but have yet to be registered by the government. None of this information has been confirmed, but I can almost guarantee that even though these may not be the real issues in the game Dead Rising 3 being made is almost a sure thing. Dead Rising 2 sold well and got overly good reviews. Personally I thought the game was too similar to the original Dead Rising for my taste; mostly I was disappointed they didn't chose a new setting. However, now we may get a whole city to explore which would be great. What would you like to see in Dead Rising 3, better shooting mechanics maybe?
