Battlefield 4 brings the full, 60fps, 64plyr Battlefield experience to consoles for the first time ever - on top of the most progressive control scheme and rewarding team and mechanics. The map altering Levolution is not just hype and really does alter the match in interesting ways, while still keeping the wholesale realtime destruction introduced in the Bad Company series. Stats and Premium upgrade carry over from previous/current gen so you can enter next gen with all your gear.
Dead Rising 3 brings nothing to the table in terms of its own franchise and also the hack-n-slash genre. More or less zombified Dynasty Warriors with a comedic horror bent, DR presented western tropes through a Japanese aesthetic as designed by Inafune himself. The deal was an arcady wacky experience that itself helped launch 360 way back when.
Here we are, game is presented 'grittier' and the gameplay moves toward Western sensibilities even more. It offers nothing to justify it being next gen other than being exclusive to a next gen console. The charm is lost (already faded by the Western developed Case Zero expansion), and the devs embarrassingly hype how many zombies can be on screen at once non-ironically like they solved some issue the series had.
Yeah, Battlefield on X1/PS4 is something to pop a boner about, and DR3 can get dusty on the used rack.
