Played a bit of Dead Rising 1, 2 and Off the Record on XB1. DR1 runs beautifully, DR2 is weird, it keeps shuttering every few minutes, it get a bit annoying... hopefully it will get updated to fix it. Off the Record seems to run great.

All of titles especially DR1 held up very well.

Edit: Regarding DR2 shuttering, it happens even in a simple room. It must be a bug.

 

[Oreoleo]

Game is still great. Played for like an hour and a half without saving when my game crashed because of my stupid (apparently) unstable overclock QQ Gotta fight Carlito and everything all over again FML. Never again.

It's not even the pair I'm worried about, even I can't get out of this place I'm holed up in without getting fucked up.

If you are really *that* stuck, there's no harm in taking the L and starting over. You'll retain your character level and be that much stronger going forward.

[GreyWind]

Forgot how awkward it is to aim in DR1

 

[xRaizen]

Totally forgot how unforgiving 1 is. Time to relearn everything.

 

[Daffy Duck]

What's performance like in Xbox One?

I want to get it on that to complete the Dead Rising collection, however if it runs better on PS4 I'll get it on that.

 

[Persona7]

PS4 performance looking good?

 

[DeVeAn]

PS4 performance looking good?

This is what I am curious about too.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I really can't afford this but ima get it anyway. I burnt out my original 360 running over zombies in the underground tunnels. Never got Master Genocider

 

[black070]

Dead Rising runs really well with really short loading times and very responsive controls.

 

[Aselith]

PC port is good?

 

[GreyWind]

Xbox One

Already died and forgot to save. Started from the beginning. :'(

 

[Teknoman]

Dead Rising runs really well with really short loading times and very responsive controls.

Ugh I dunno if I want PS4 or PC version.

 

[The perfect Dark]

So, is it just a port?

 

[Omikaru]

Mega excited to get home from work and play this on my PC. Probably my second favourite 360 exclusive!

 

[Tagyhag]

I haven't played DR in forever, does your character transfer over between playthroughs?

 

[Oreoleo]

I haven't played DR in forever, does your character transfer over between playthroughs?

Yup! It's like a mini NG+ every time you start over.

 

[ArchAngel]

Is it giftable to Germany? Of course it isn't being released here and I hope it isn't blocked from giftig -_-

 

[Daffy Duck]

Protip: Don't try and do everything on your first play through.

 

[Ozium]

PC port is good?

yes

 

[eek5]

Anyone know if PC version has ultrawide support?

 

[Persona7]

Thanks. Can't wait to try it tomorrow.

 

[MulderYuffie]

not really PC savy i'll buy about anything tohugh and love the dead Rising games 2, OTR and 3 run fine on mine but i'm having freezing issues with the game and very intense slowdown at certain parts or when there's a bunch going on on screen at once. Happens like every 15 seconds when it does do it which is almost always but can mess with the settings a bit doesn't matter with what and it fixes it for those few seconds. A shame I really wanted to play more of it.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

THIS!
IS!
MY!
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!

God, I love Dead Rising. Really glad I can finally replay the first one on PC.
Still sad that both Case Zero and Case West were not ported as well.
Also a bit sad that they didn't really update the overall control scheme for DR1. I mean, you can rebind the buttons (which actually is a big plus), but still, I would've liked an updated scheme like the one DR2 OTR had. Which is simply way better than DR1's.

 

[Daigoro]

I'm curious which one people prefer - DR2 or DR2: OTR?

I've played both for maybe 5 hours each and liked OTR more. I'm not sure why I never finished either. How big of an upgrade are these over the PS3 versions?

i like OTR way better than vanilla DR2

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

So uh, I'm at a point where I've finished Case 1 and it's nighttime and I'm trying to escort the

Spoiler

Japanese

pair back to the security office, but every idea of mine leads to certain death for both them and me - Amplified by DR1's amazing Industry-Trailing NPC AI. Especially since there's a Psycho boss outside.

Should I find some way to wait out the night or is it time to reset my campaign like people have said will be happening a lot?

Resetting at every single misstep is the worst conceivable way to play the good Dead Rising games. Just keep truckin' unless you're really shit out of luck, gain experience, learn the map and restart once you reach an ending. The campaign is short and designed to be replayable.

That said, it's entirely possible to escort the aforementioned duo safely.

As someone who has never played a DR game before, which one of these remasters should I pick up?

1 is an all-time classic if you don't shy away from (somewhat) unforgiving difficulty. 2 is still pretty good too in that (unlike 3) it's still fairly faithful to the original formula, but made some unfortunate missteps with gameplay addition and pacing.

PC port is good?

From the looks of it, yes. QLOC seemingly delivered.

 

[NJD316]

Haven't played a Dead Rising game before but will give this a shot.

 

[Black Soma]

Game doesn't even start for me on PC. I get an error related to Direct X. A number of people are having the same issue, and a solution hasn't been found yet.

 

[scooblehdoo]

This can't be bought separate on the us psn store?

 

[Persona7]

This can't be bought separate on the us psn store?

Maybe it will be available in the store update later today?

 

[Gren]

PC port is good?

I had problems getting it to launch. But running the three .exes found in Dead Rising's redestributable folder + a reboot fixed that. Plays like a dream.

Haven't checked any config files yet but I'd like if we could disable/mod out the DOF(?) effect during cutscenes.

EDIT:

You can try this if you haven't already. Reinstall dxsetup and repair both of the vcredists. Worked for me after verifying cache/reinstalling the game didn't.

 

[Hjod]

I'm tempted. Has anyone tried them on PS4? I'm kind of worried how well they run.

Dead Rising runs really well with really short loading times and very responsive controls.

Nvm, I'm dumb haha.

 

[Henrar]

On PC there should be an option to remove the slowdown effect if that's what you are talking about. Or maybe they haven't patched that in yet.

 

[TannerDemoz]

Have they sorted out the text issues? If I remember correctly, the text was hilariously small and really difficult to read on the original.

it was only hard to read if you didn't have an HDTV. which was common in 2006

The text is still quite small but at least it seems to be a bit bigger than it was on 360.
Roughly the same size as DR2, I think.

it was only hard to read if you didn't have an HDTV. which was common in 2006

It was also hard to read if you had an HDTV and sat a healthy distance away from it.

 

[grandwizard]

Game is still great. Just got done with my first session. Really love the opening and the way things ramp up.

 

[EekumBokum]

Soo are the retail versions not available at Best Buy or something? It's available at other retailers so it can't be an Amazon exclusive.

It's Frank. Frank West. Remember that name 'cause the whole world's gonna know it in three days when I get the scoop.

Has it been 10 years? Wow, had so much fun playing this game.

 

[goonergaz]

Got stuck at the first level boss (clown?) - frustrated the hell out of me...but man I loved the game up to that point so be rude not to give it another try!

Just passed him, went through 3 slots worth of pistols bringing his health down to a thin line, then by chance found a knife on the floor to administer the killing blow.

 

[Rotch Crot]

I never played OTR. I'm excited to try it.

I have ps and x1. But I wanted to keep the entire series in 1 place, so x1 it I for me.

How do I deal with the jeep in DR1 can't save anybody because I don't have a key for the maintenance hallways

 

[black070]

They're very easy to cheese - just circle around trees, they stop in one place when they crash, then just shoot each convict up one by one (starting with the machine gunner).

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

You mean the convicts?
Lure them into a tree then shoot them. They're really, really stupid and will drive into the tree repeadetly, especially if they try to drive you over in reverse.
Shoot the gunner first. The rest will be easy.
They'll reappear once each day though, iirc.
