Support NeoGAF

I'm liking most of what i'm seeing. The one area they needed to improve upon was the frustrating AI and it seems like this will deliver. The dynamic lighting of the day night cycle is also done really really well compared to the flat original game.

They've shown a bit of restraint keeping with the spirit of the original game and not making it lolzany like the later games. I hope this does well so that the franchise can finally have the Japanese back behind the wheel and we can get a true Dead Rising 5.

And between this and Metal Gear Solid Delta, another thing is for certain - remakering games where they keep almost everything the same, such as design, level layouts, animations etc., but just massively upgrade the visuals with some quality of life improvements sprinkled on top is the way forward. It's not as jarring as you'd think and no doubt saves a lot of money while preserving the original feel.

I'd like this or the original Dead Rising 2 team to return. For me it was never about the devs not being Japanese. It simply felt like they had lost something when the leads changed.

DR2 was soulless compared to DR1 since it had completely lost its JPN-ness, it was just a copycat of the 1st game, and as the rest of the games, the less we say about them the better.

Yup! Capcom has announced today that the physical edition will launch on November 8, 2024, for PS5 and XBS. Pre-order listings should pop up soon.

The original DR1 has its charm still, and the PS4 remaster is fairly good. Though the gameplay and AI surely can use a bit of an overhaul, it was janky but it was part of its charm also. DR1 was really goofy.

It depends on whats being changed. I hope they don't cater too much to present day babies.

 

[Danknugz]

any word on the other pre-DR3 titles? because the original remaster was a 3 pack that included DR1, 2 and off the record

doesn't really need it, the original allowed you to cross dress and all that good stuff
