Just in case you didn't think Dead Rising 3 would be silly enough, here's another bit of news that should make you feel warm inside: Dead Rising 3 will feature an unlockable Mega Man X outfit. Beating the game will unlock the costume, but beating the game in Nightmare mode will unlock the X-Buster.

"It's cool to be able to leverage other Capcom games as well as just putting stuff in the world whether it be vehicles or weapons," producer Mike Jones told Polygon. "We're huge Capcom fans ourselves and so it's an opportunity to tip our caps to some of the games that we love and we're also inspired by the Easter Eggs used in the previous Dead Rising games."

If you're unfamiliar, Mega Man was a costume from the first Dead Rising game. While unlocking Mega Man X should be easy enough, getting the X-Buster will take some real skills. "Some of our QA testers think that Nightmare is possibly the most difficult Dead Rising yet," Jones added.

          mmx 1-4 would be my preferred games to be remade HD. Maverick Hunter X was pretty great.

            Maverick Hunter X was good, playing as Vile was an awesome addition.

            My only beef is that it's ugly as hell, lol. I hate that polygon look they shifted to with the MMX games. I'll take the PSone sprites over that garbage.

      I can almost forgive the game running at a constant 20fps for this... almost.

      Nice to see the effort was put into this and not, you know, preventing the game from dropping down to 16FPS at some points.

      Next gen my ass.
