Dead Rising 3 bigger than DR1 & 2 combined

The open world of Dead Rising 3 is large enough to accommodate the worlds of both its predecessors combined.
During a panel at the San Diego Comic Con this weekend, Dead Rising 3 executive producer Josh Bridge demonstrated the scope of the new game by contrasting its world with that of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2.

Revealed during Microsoft's E3 press conference in June, Dead Rising 3 is in development at Capcom Vancouver exclusively for Xbox One.
Capcom said at the time, "With intense action, an unmatched level of weapon and character customization, and immersive Xbox SmartGlass and Kinect integration, Dead Rising 3 delivers a heart-pounding experience unlike any other as players fight for survival in a massive, open world teeming with thousands of undead."
