Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster - Before You Buy

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S) is a graphical update of the original classic Capcom zombie game. How is it? Let's talk.

To everyone who is new to Dead Rising it is most def possible to save all of the npcs in one run. I spent the whole summer as a kid in 2007 figuring it out. Dead Rising is a really good game from Capcoms more wacky side.

Random question, but did anyone else go into the original thinking it was going to be slapstick but ended up experiencing some truly chilling moments?

Dead Rising was originally sold as "zombies in a mall that isn't Dawn of the Dead, promise" and I put hours into the demo listening to Jonathan Coulton's "RE: Your Brains" before getting into the story on release. Go in for the fun of zombies in a mall, be surprised by the story.

The saddest thing I heard was them changing the UI from the original’s network news presentation to just standard “gamey” UI. I adored the way the old one would run a little news ticker when I got an achievement or unlocked a new move, and sad to see it go.

Only thing i remember is female Zombies bite you down "there" and male Zombies went for the neck... 😂

Dead Rising was such a great game. It was a perfect game to play with a friend and just hand the controller back and forth.

* "Single player games that are great couch co-op games" would be a fun list

The MOST IMPORTANT question, clown's chainsaw + three magazines is still OP combination?

Nothing better than playing games I could never beat as a kid, now as an adult lol

Props to whoever recorded the gameplay they're actually pretty good at the game

Original Dead Rising was the first game I ever played that felt "next gen" on the Xbox...

But now "Mirrors are too difficult to render"...

As an original Dead Rising player, I can see why they made some of the changes. Many players at the time complained about the strictness of the timer, for instance (I enjoyed it), and making that a bit easier is a good thing. If the survivor AI is better, that's a true game changer--everyone, and I mean everyone at the time, hated how dumb the surviors were. I would say to new players not to be put off by the timer, because it moves the gameplay forward. Otherwise, you'd get bored and not finish the game.

I think the upgraded visuals tarnish the 2006 mall aesthetic that brings me so much nostalgia joy. This remaster looks oversaturated and sometimes undersaturated, the lighting is awkward and unpleasant. Removing erotica, adding voice's to characters and that yellow paint all bother me (as well as ofher changes). I dislike when IP's/art are altered to the point of the original losing it's charm. As a huge fan of the first 2 titles, I'm extremely tempted to drop the money on this (especially for the new costumes and outfits) but $60 seens outlandish for what we are getting.

to think there will be a 12 year old out there that discovers this and loves it as much as i did at that age when it originally released makes me very happy

Screw capcom…Rockstar NEED to remaster “The warriors”

[ElderShogun]

I really don’t mind the game being easier at all. I’ve already beaten the OG many times already. Now I just wanna enjoy it

Deadrising was my very first xbox 360 game. This just made me so happy

Dead Rising is my favourite game of all time, I'm still playing the original. Got 322 hour clocked in on it on my PS5. I still struggle with stage 2 of the Kent (journalist) boss fight where you've got to take a photo of his pose. Greatest game ever made in my opinion.

Unfortunately no release in Germany since the entire Dead Rising series is still banned over here, except for part 4

[JettHinde]

They should have just gave it the full RE4 treatment
