PC ports are a bit of a double-edged blade. We want good games to come to our preferred platform, but at the same time porting over games from console to PC can sometimes leave us with what feels like a sub-standard experience, especially if time isn’t put into properly optimising the game for the new hardware or re-mapping the controls comfortably.

However, the port of Dead Rising 3 is set to be different. Among the things done to it to make it a good port, is to allow full control of the graphical options, mod support, the ability to remove the 30 FPS cap and much more alongside the usual tweaks and bug fixes. An interview with Gamespot had producer Jon Airhart tell all about the port.

“For PC, that meant we needed to go back and put extra work into optimizing the game for the full range of PC gaming hardware out on the market,” he said, adding that although 30 FPS will be the cap players with beefier computers will have the option to remove it and get higher framerates as a result. He also spoke about officially allowing mod support, “Dead Rising is the ultimate sandbox, and if modders decide to turn their creative talents to DR3 (which I hope they do) the sky is the limit, with combo vehicles, DR3 has blurred the lines between a vehicle and a weapon, so I expect to see an even wider variety of crazy creations.”

Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition will come with all the DLC packs for the game, as well as being released on Steam and all the additional things such as trading cards that brings too. ~It will be released September 5th.
