The Dead Rising franchise is well known not only for having players face down hundreds of zombies at a time, but also for its fairly ridiculous bosses, affectionately and appropriately known as "psychopaths." We've seen a slicecycle riding adrenaline junkie, katan wielding twins, a slow witted tiger trainer, chainsaw weilding clown, crazy cooks, and that's just the first two games.
Now, we're hearing whispers of what sort of psychopaths we'll be getting to face off against in the Xbox One exclusive Dead Rising 3. Siliconera managed to get a hold of some design documents, which describe a few of the future games psychopaths. Descriptions of each are below.
* Shifu - An immigrant to the new setting of Los Perdidos, Shifu has been spending his games tending to a Zen garden, even in the face of a zombie apocalypse. The garden seems to be the only place where he can find peace, and any one who disrupts it faces the business end of Shifu's set of gardening tools.
* Jerry - The end of the world as you know it is no doubt disheartening, but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, even if she looks a bit..."mannish." Jerry is a female wrestler and bodybuilder, upset that her competition has been canceled due to the whole society crumbling thing. Protagonist Nick meets Jerry at a gym, no doubt perfecting her physique, only to still be mistaken as a man by our hero. This apparently pisses Jerry off, who comes at Nick
* An unnamed motorcycle leader also joins the party, and is quick to revel in the anarchy the zombie outbreak has brought forth. True, players have fought a biker before, but this isn't the slicecycle riding speedster, this biker's vehicle of choice is closer to a steamroller, decked out in body parts for that Martha Stewart touch.
* Trent - The gamer/spoiled rich kid stereotype is in full effect with Trent, a man child who's content to ride out the zombie war by playing videogames away in his mansion. Nick apparently finds him surrounded by empty soda cans and potato chip bags.
That's about all of the psychopaths rumored to be included, but if past Dead Rising titles are any indication, there's sure to be plenty more. We'll keep you posted should we hear of any others. Dead Rising 3 is due out on Xbox One later this year.
