They've already 'remastered' this.

So this is Dead Rising Remastered: Remastered.

'Duhhhhhhhhh games suck now lol but why' - THIS is why.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I wonder if it will have the same music

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Day 1, let's do it all over again Mr. West

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Tbh, this looks how I remember it last time I played it.

 

[crazyriddler]

It's a game I enjoyed at the time, but I had to "force" myself to play it, as I hate the timer concept. I doubt I'll ever have that patience again.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I liked how they had to mention on the European cover art that this game is not related to Dawn of the Dead. Basically free marketing.

Capcom made a big mistake handing this franchise off to a Western studio. I wonder if they would ever consider getting some of the original team back together and having them make a sequel to the first game..

Dead Rising 2 was very good though, as it had proper Capcom oversight and Japanese developers aiding production. I didn't find 2 too far removed tonally or conceptually from the first game. The problems started occurring when two things happened:

- They dropped the Japanese oversight for the third game and they allowed the Vancouver team complete creative control. Dead Rising 3 is still a good game with a lot of charm and clear gameplay improvements, but it lost a lot of its Japanese quirkiness in the process and they overly simplified the systems and difficulty a bit too much in favour of things that further removed the game from the original concept for the series.

- Dead Rising 4 had an essentially different development team behind it versus Dead Rising 3 despite it being the exact same studio. Look at the head Director, Producers, Writers, Artists, Programmers etc. on its wikipedia.

So I don't think handing it off to Western developers was necessarily a problem, it was more the way in which Capcom managed and hired talent at that studio that severely damaged the franchise.

Obligatory:

Completely agree, I think Dead Rising 2 and Off The Record are classics and worthy successors to the original game, they did a fantastic job improving on the game mechanically without removing what made the first game so special. I think the original Dead Rising is still the best but 2 is barely a step behind it, it's incredible game. Like you said, 3 was pretty good too but the writing was on the wall as far as what was coming next.

I liked how they had to mention on the European cover art that this game is not related to Dawn of the Dead. Basically free marketing.

In the U.S. version they had a disclaimer on the title screen!

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Bro, wtf!

Totally agreed

 

[cireza]

Never liked it, sorry

Then play something else rather than changing our game, thanks in advance.

Ah yes, I remember Dead Rising as a true next gen moment, when console generations still made sense. First time I've seen the number of zombies on screen at the same time running on my new Xbox 360 I thinked "yeah, no way this could ever works on GameCube/PS2/Xbox". Good time, this is also the best chapter of the series, I hope in some works on gameplay side too and I could be in.

Myself as well, I still remember being very impressed with all of the texture variety and clarity throughout the whole game. For example it was one of if not the first game where each section such as the supermarket had unique items in the environment and that just made the atmosphere and vibe so much better. Seeing all the food and everything was great, so its funny to me when even modern games skimp on the environments. I know, it eats up the budget and resources but even all these years later its one of those things that left a big impression.

 

[Sanepar]

Yay. Another remake. Creatively bankrupt cowards.

Doesn't even look next-gen.

I would prefer only remakes from 1995-2010 than current new games with purple and green neon everywhere and diversity.

 

[zokie]

thanks to Genki on twitter , one of the pics looks like an eye from a transformer

 

[Bernardougf]

Never played the originals ... so ... maybe

 

[Deleted member 848825]

Timers is a big no no for moi.

 

[Kuranghi]

Timers is a big no no for moi.

Yeah I also hate that aspect, I'm guessing they have added autosaves/more save points at least and I'm hoping that they also maybe added a menu toggle to disable the timer if you want.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Then play something else rather than changing our game, thanks in advance.

lol no, I wanna play this remaster!

 

[VeganElduderino]

the time was one of the reasons I dint like the OG , I don't want to play games to be stressed out by a damn timer!

 

[adamsapple]

lol no, I wanna play this remaster!

I hope the timer is even more restrictive this time.

 

[Quantum253]

It would be cool to have a free roam mode and play around, but I hated the timer part

 

[ReBurn]

This thread had me feeling nostalgic so I reinstalled the last gen remaster to play tonight. I probably won't buy whatever this is but I do enjoy Dead Rising. I noticed that the first game isn't on sale in the Steam sale, but the other games are.

Edit: I swear the first game was 29.99 on Steam yesterday but it's only 10 bucks right now. I must have missed something.

 

[bender]

I hope the timer is even more restrictive this time.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

As soneone who grew up in Oregon, it drived me crazy how they say "Willamette"

 

[rkofan87]

I had fun with this in the 360 but I really dislike games with timers so it never hit fully for me.

same

 

[zokie]

official DR twitter has revealed a few seconds of DRDR

 

[lame gag1990]

What's their obsession from 2 onwards with his weird receding hairline? He's always looked like shit after DR1. And while not necessarily bad, it's not Frank without the original voice actor.

 

[Jack Videogames]

Those facial animations - this is next gen alright.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Those facial animations - this is next gen alright.

It's a shame I'll be wearing the servbot head most of the time

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I could easily see this being a Switch 2 launch game. Especially if MH wilds isn't coming until later

 

[adamsapple]

We're gonna see more of this game in 6~ ish hours. Platforms, game engine, release date, price etc most likely.

 

[Damien Grief]

I'm actually looking forward to this. Would be cool to have things updated for modern hardware even if the original still holds up pretty well.

 

[Team Andromeda]

I liked how they had to mention on the European cover art that this game is not related to Dawn of the Dead. Basically free marketing.

That's not the cover I had with my Pal launch copy

 

[scoobidoo112]

That's not the cover I had with my Pal launch copy

It's printed on the steelcase box itself, left most item in the foto.

 

[LordBritish]

many a frank west boob and butt photo will be taken again

 

[analog_future]

Steam page is up with new screenshots:

Looks somewhere in-between a traditional "remaster" and the REmake games, IMO.


No way I'm paying $50 for this though. Probably when it's $20 or so.

 

[adamsapple]

This motherfucker!

I hope he still drops the one handed saw. Best weapon in the OG game.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Doesn't this game have a busty lady in a gray suit? Can't wait to see the nerf.

 

[Team Andromeda]

It's printed on the steelcase box itself, left most item in the foto.

It's on the manual, not the front cover to the game case

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Made a 'caught in 4k' gif from the new trailer.

 

[DavidGzz]

It's the same game gameplay wise so it's a remaster. Resident Evil 2 was definitely a remake since it was way different.

In Seeming Attempt To Avoid Offense, Capcom Race-Swaps Psychopath Enemy From Asian To White In Upcoming 'Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster'

Capcom's upcoming 'Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster' has race-swapped one of its human 'Psychopath' boss enemies from Asian to White.

boundingintocomics.com

this game just went to my no buy list and the japanese get screwed by the french and by their own in the same year.

 

[bender]

This motherfucker!

I hope he still drops the one handed saw. Best weapon in the OG game.

Two of them, no? Then you run to grab the magazines that increase durability.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Cool. I will buy it used. Fuck Capcom and those that defend this.

 

[adamsapple]

Two of them, no? Then you run to grab the magazines that increase durability.

Yep, 3 magazines + his hand-held saw makes mince meat of 99% of enemies and bosses. Very easy way to OP your way through the mall.

 

[SportsFan581]

Who needs new games. Not this generation.

At least this one is a fun one.

I own the OG already, I guess I'll see how different this is from that one.
