Only 25% off? Pfft.

Here's the second gameplay footage that was captured in uncapped frame rate mode (but v-synched to a 60Hz monitor).

Yesterday's footage was designed to show one of the more stressful, system-demanding scenarios within the game by selecting the latter part of game where there are thousands of zombies.

Footage #2 focuses on Nick Ramos' melee combat abilities and realtime cut scene, followed by a quick tour of the in-game menu options.

========================
Hey folks,

It’s been really awesome to see how passionate you guys are about Dead Rising 3 on the PC. Now that the game is coming to Steam, there has been a ton of positive response and excitement in the community as well. There also has been a ton of discussions around the game’s min and rec specs as well as a lot of speculation on how the game might run with the frame rate uncapped.

Allow me to set the record straight -- while Dead Rising 3 is optimized to run at 30 frames per second for gameplay reasons, you can expect it to still run fine uncapped under most conditions provided you have a capable enough hardware. We can’t guarantee that there won’t be issues, and obviously depending on your rig you may see different results. Rest assured the beefier your gaming machine, the smoother your zombie killing experience will be.

Bear in mind the frame rate will fluctuate in uncapped mode in certain areas, particularly later in the game, where streets are literally filled with zombies and other complex objects. Couple that with an open world sandbox game engine, big explosions, complex physics interaction, and huge draw distance and you’re bound to experience dips here and there. Speaking from personal experience, here’s one example[mega.co.nz], a 4-minute gameplay footage, where I play-tested one of the builds in uncapped mode on an i7-4770K & GTX 780 Ti setup.

Played a bit more DR3. Got to the main area and the framerate has gone to pot. Varying from 60 down to 35, sometimes somewhat understandably and sometimes utterly randomly. In an hour it also crashed to desktop twice. After all the streaming they did on twitch without any problems I thought this would be fine

The framerate on XB1 drops to low 20s regularly

Read what you want, I'm telling you, it plays and runs fine. I played it to completion and I honestly cant remember ANY drops, not saying there wherent any but I honestly didnt notice ANY in about 14hrs play.
