Dead Rising 3/Unused Graphics
This is a sub-page of Dead Rising 3.
Dead Rising 3, like the game before it, has quite a few unused graphics.
Contents

Phil, from the Side Mission "Will Or Away".
Kent DeMare
Strangely, Kent DeMare from the Side Mission "Blood Barter" has a portrait, despite him not having any unused survivor dialogue.

Big D, from the Side Mission "Lesser Evil". Weirdly, the survivor depicted is certainly NOT Big D, but his silhouette can be seen behind him. Even weirder, when the texture is extracted, the survivor is cropped from Big D's silhouette.

Interaction Icons
Interaction Icons are seen when in range of something the player can, you guessed it, interact with. Some of these icons go unused, however.
A drink icon. Looks similar to the food icon that's used in Uncle Billy's Buffet, so it may have served a similar purpose.
A driving icon. Might have been intended for getting into vehicles. In the final game, the icon uses the vehicles category.
Interestingly, an icon for entering a different level, despite the whole map having no loading screens between areas.
A locker icon. The final game simply uses a hand icon for the lockers.
A trunk icon, intended for car trunks the player can open throughout the city. The final game simply uses a hand icon for opening the trunks.
