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.
yeah but that ruined the game for me. I wanted to just bash zombies and take the game as fast or slow as I wanted. The timer completely ruined the game for me. In fact it is the sole reason I quit the game in the first place. I played the game for a few weeks but the timer kept poking its head up and the timer is the cause of the ONLY time I ever rage quit a game and broke my controller. All the game needs is the OPTION to turn off the timer. If they ever do that I'll re-buy the game. But so long as they keep the timer in game, it is a HARD NO from me.
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.
kinda? Also same era as left 4 dead, just a few years before L4D2. It's a totally different game than any of those... It's more of a playground than a survival game.
Back when the original first came out, I had a friend who refused to play the game when the lights shut off at night. He didn’t get very far until he just settled on hanging around the few areas that stayed lit up. Like the grocery store, warehouse, the hardware store where you fight Cliff, and most obviously, the security room. I or another friend always had to beat Adam the clown for him because he was afraid of clowns too, but he needed the small chainsaws because he sucked at the game to boot.
@thisismyaltaccount85 yeah things got really spooky at nighttime. Especially inside the mall. It had such an unmistakable atmosphere. Not many modern games do that for me anymore. Although PREY did, to be fair.
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.
See? That's a criticism I can legitimately get behind. This was an artistic decision in the game that set a certain framework for the presentation of the whole thing, which was in essence a news broadcast that we were playing as it happened. I can totally understand people being dismayed about this fundamental change to the overall aesthetic and presentation.
That was the joy of gaming as a kid though. You never really cared too much about beating them. Like Dead Rising I just spent all day experimenting in the mall lol
@@oxsila Weirdly true. When I was younger, I spent countless hours just messing around in the mall, always eventually failing the story and just starting another save right back up without a care in the world. Now, If I was playing and somehow failed the main story and had to restart, I'd probably put the game down and never return.
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
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
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.
@@zonedout3390 I hate timers like that in games too, I want to enjoy at my own pace. That's why I actually enjoyed Dead Rising 4 for getting rid of it and letting me explore a nice winter open world. That being said, I still really enjoyed Dead Rising despite the timer and apparently they made it easier with this remaster. So I would advise not to let that full stop you!
@@zonedout3390 I get it, but you need to think of this game like a coin-op in an arcade, where your quarter lasts like 6 hours or whatever it takes in real-time to complete the game start to finish. Then you replay as more of a badass, you can upgrade further, get more skills, rescue more people and find more secrets. The entire game is based around the 3 days the game cycles through and the changes that happen over those 3 days in terms of bad guys, zombie populations, missions etc.
The only change needed was better Survivor A.I., and some leeway on the timer. I don't understand why people don't seem to stick with games like we used to? If you know that your progress is saved when having to restart, then that makes the timer a little more bearable as you're put in the mindset to experiment, learn, and have fun. Instead of trying to beat the game in one run.
I'll never forget the week I got my 360. My friend and I stayed up for 12 hour turns, playing dead rising and Oblivion. One would sleep/eat, the other would play games. His mom called us in sick for a few days of school, it was so fun. Can't wait to re-experience one of my childhood favorites. hopefully it is still fun in this somewhat altered form.
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.
To me dead rising is one of those games that nobody ever sees the same way. It’s got such a specific identity it’s been hard for capcom to capture that magic again. Personally I still think DR2: Off The Record is the best mix of old and new. But I’m very excited to play this
@@TamagoSarada_ Not really. If you watch the Original and this one side by side, they'll be identical at 95%. On the other hand, the Original Resident Evil 4 is vastly different from the Remake. That's the reason why this game is labeled as a Deluxe Remaster, even though the game was remade from zero (Similar to Crash Nsane Trilogy and The Last Of Us Part I)
@@WaurufExNo, this is a remaster. One youve mentioned, TLOU1 is remaster of a remaster. Falsely called remake. This game is remaster as they reused original game, in the way of doing like WDS did with GTA DE. Porting textures, animations etc on unreal engine. Everything is same except on reworked textures and few animations. And removed animations & mirrors for some reasons. Remake is Spyro, RE 2-4 and CB trilogy. Fully worked from their own version. More like a fanbase recreating in different than being like original.
Dead Rising 2 is the best for me. I remember playing it seven times straight, just to beat every boss, rescue every person etc, while playing with my daughter. The combo weapons were and incredible fun addition. While I enjoyed the sequels, for me the series peaked at DR2.
Honestly there was no need to change lines or race on certain characters or the removal of fan service, this is a game, all the characters are fictional.
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.
the game looks almost the same except better graphics and way easier. Might as well just play the old one. I figured they'd add a lot more but seems it's just a worse version of the same game.
No one is mentioning the music…did they change the music? What about the boss theme songs that played while you fought them, are they all the still there or did they change it? Legit the music in this game helped make it back in the day and I’d be devastated if they changed the music…
I can confirm all the original music is there. However, there's an option in the settings to remove copyrighted music for when you're streaming, which I imagine a lot of content creators will have on so they don't get DMCA'd. Gone Guru, Justified, and every other licensed track's all there.
I remember playing DR1 the week it came out. Scared the hell outa me at first since I was like...11ish, but the weird quirkiness of it quickly drew me in and it ended up being the first 360 game I ever 100%. I'm disappointed that Frank's voice is different, but I'll be getting the platinum on this for sure and reliving some of those childhood memories
@@Pearloryx I don't understand why they can't just get it from another country though. Digital is huge now and even when people buy physical they usually buy on Amazon
this game was a gem back in the day, i remember trying to barricade the entrance to the hardware store attempts to rid the area of zombies before the military come only for it to disappear when we leave the area, still think the game franchise is missing that aspect for a zombie survival
How is the soundtrack? One of the big things for me was discovering the artist celldweller because of this game series. A good number of his songs were the soundtracks to the psycho fights
I hear you on the graphics, but I'm honestly nothing but pleased with it. This is an all-time favorite game of mine, and I'm just thrilled to have a modern take on it. Edit: Thinking about it, it's easily a top 3 game of all time for me. And I only ever had the chance to play when I could rent it from Hollywood Video or Blockbuster back in the day.
I'll wait for the modders to at least swap the voices with the OG voices. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for them to revert Larry back to Chinese.
I believe he is actually Taiwanese, "Chiang" is a common last name for Taiwanese people . He got erased because China does not see Taiwan as a country so they could sell it in China.
There's nothing this game offers that Off The Record doesn't already have. And as a game from 2011, you don't have to worry about censorship or topics that aren't for "modern" times.
I'm gunna regret asking this from someone that uses "modern" like that... But what was censored here? If you reply "There was one line that wasn't at all pivotal to the story or tone that was possibly offensive that was CENSORED, and that ruined the entire game for me!" then I'm going to have regretted asking.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 They got rid of the erotica photo genre exp, changed the race of a boss from Asian to white and removed the lore of a boss completely
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465they removed the erotica category of photos and mission, which I can get. The weird one I can’t understand is they removed Cliff’s reference to the Viet Cong, which completely changes his backstory and trauma that led him to become a psychopath.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 minor shit that most people don't care about. The real issue is that the game is clearly way easier. To me, the first one wasn't exactly the toughest game, but it wasn't a walk in the park either (unless you know how to use the mini chainsaws, books, and blenders to cheese everything, but very few new players would figure that out on their own). Part of the fun for me was that you'd mostly likely fail a lot at first, esp. in the early game. An easy Dead Rising doesn't seem worth playing. And aside from better graphics, seems like fans won't get much out of this.
The OG Dead Rising really blew me away in 2016 (I missed out on the console generation in 2006), and has always been my "desert island" game pick if I could only have 1 game. I can't wait to play DRDR tomorrow.
I don't think it does. DR1 needed the quality of life improvements like survivor AI, dodge rolling, and moving while aiming. DR2 already has these, it's perfect as is
Way less zombies, changes to beloved characters, iconic music and dialogue changes, muddy textures…and they think people will buy this for $60?! Gaming 2024 is crazy.
Why are you asking a question that has been answered for a decade already? Answer: It's because it's cheaper to remaster or remake a game and it has a established playerbase and it's been proven it sells. Data doesn't lie, a new IP is a gamble and too costly for a guarenteed return investment.
@@zonedout3390People already got tired of remastering games. Its like zombie games trend that died years ago. Many zombie games being popular as a trend since COD WW1 then died like 7-9 years ago.
@@SeriousDragonify Ah, yes. Because you can pretty much draw a line between Quake 2 Remastered and Starcraft Remastered. People aren't tired of remasters across the board, generally speaking. They're tired of low effort yet full price (or near to) bullshit like TLoU2:R, where it's a game that they've played recently, with so little changed or improved that it wouldn't have been out of place to have been released as a free update instead of a full price release.
@@ledumpsterfire6474 All games ya mentioned are PC port, just optimized for consoles for cash grab. Theyre not really "remaster". Just optimized for consoles. Like GTA 5 "E&E" and TLOU P2.
As a purest, I hate it. I’ll stick with the 360 version. I got so used to the original, I’m gonna beat this one of course. Memorizing how to control the AI perfectly on the original took so much time to get down, I’m gonna stick with it due to my investment on it. I also hate that he looks older.
I just pre ordered. I love everything Dead Rising. I think this will be fun. If not I still have the OG to play. I think what I’ve seen so far looks great! Come on September 19th!!! Also the perfect date for release since that’s when the game starts when you land at the mall. Smart choice by the team!
Damn, still no Dead Rising on the Switch, which SHOULD be able to handle it. I would love playing this on the go while taking a break at my local mall. That being said, I absolutely LOVED the original. I’d like to play it again now as a photographer where I can relate a little more with Frank.
this, skill up, AGC and Gman are the only channels I know who give honest opinions on games and are people who actually play the game rather than failed journos like IGN as example. Though Gman doesn't review new games. I alwasy wait for a gameranx BYB before buying games I am undecided on buying like this.
Blood effects are worse unfortunately. In the original it was more physics based. Here every time you hit a zombie a pile of blood spawns instantly below them. And the splatter flying around just disappear in mid air...
regardless of how the remaster looks, the one thing to remember is that the original game is still available. I think this is just Capcom wanting to have a fresher looking version of the game out there, but the fact that they still have the original game on sale for get this $10 is a good thing.
These are the types of reviews i live for, I don’t have interest in buying This(particularly because i got into dead rising late) but it’s interesting to hear TRUE pro’s and cons about a game, not worried about a “score”..up’s and down’s features, nitpicking is okay because i love small little things like that that could make or break a game for me. I love how Gameranx reviews feel more open ended and for the consumer to decide, it feels like im talking to my friends online about video games and i thank you
Why pay more for a censored and lesser version when you can play the first remaster ? You can even see the comparisons side by side they didn't got right even the fire physics.
Whenever you guys would mention Dead Rising in your top 10s, I would always thank you guys for showing the series some attention And now, here we are with the first Dead Rising game to release in almost a decade :D
10:32 the pause menu looks nice but is missing the best thing that the original pause menu had. The original would continue to play any in game music so you could continue to listen to it without getting chomped to bits. The new pause menu throws that out and abruptly cuts it off with absolute silence. I despise this change with a passion and it makes all the new added options for in game mall music seem mostly pointless to me.
Honestly I always felt that it was weird. You’re supposed to be a protag but the game rewards you for upskirting jesse? It’s straight up required for the principle Ken story. Weird. With the exception of Cheryl, who you still do the “sexy photo” mission with, it’s just not a category anymore.
I got an Xbox 360 and dead rising for Christmas 2006 and I player like crazy really enjoyed it I don’t remember the time limit mattering feel like the game progressed as went through
@@natecartwright2319 The blood physics-they look terrible compared to the original. They completely ruined the satisfying effect of blood splattering on the floor
The wombo combo of absolutely butchering Frank's model whilst changing his VA (again) does so much to rip lots of the charm out of the game. I really wanna support the resurgence of this franchise but seeing the protagonist immediately mishandled feels like RE3R all over again and it's a real shame because Willamette looks amazing
I loved the first game ans played the hell out of it when it came out amd the following years. I am excited that now in my 30s with a family I have a nice updated version to look forward to and play. The more casual gameplay is right up my ally with less time to play and master games these days. Perfect for some nostalgic fun
My First interaction with the series was the Wii version of this game, I know it isn’t the best out there, but the concept was so much fun back there ❤ love West and his adventures since then, even in MvC3 😁
I hate that they removed the "Erotica" category for photos. This tendency for the gaming industry to be so afraid of anything sexual is honestly tiring. I get that not every game should be like that, but it's not in the B-movie spirit of this franchise to dump something like that.
I replayed deadrising 2 for some hype and nostalgia and I forgot how good and bold games used to be, Im 30 for context. DR2 had playboy posters (non nude), skimpy outfits and strip poker (non nude). I saw that and realized that games will NEVER be like DR2 again. beat it all the way past overtime.
@morganniehus120 Exactly! I'm not saying every game should be like that, but it's wrong to prevent every game from being like that. Puritanism is ruining a lot, in my opinion.
It's not 2000s anymore it's 2024 culture has changed dramatically. I think some of minority people are stuck in the past not the present. Watch many shows where people said it's not good to live in the past other wise stuck in your ways of the 2000s fantasy world.
So you have literally no clue about the gaming industry or games which are released. How full of micro plastics is your brain? Games (and film, and TV, and books, and comics) have NEVER been more sexual, or more willing to show nudity (which isn't inherently sexual it must be pointed out). You're 'tired' of something you've made up in your own delusions and cluelessness. Embarrassing.
I got into Dead-rising fairly recently in like 2021 so I’ve got the original for PS4 and Off the Record to hold out until this deluxe remaster is down to £10-15 someday 👍
It is a soulless censored $50 cash grab. If you want to play Dead Rising, play the original. I know, I know, 2006, but trust me, it is the best version to experience Dead Rising in all its glory. If the remaster was like $20, sure, but it costs $50 while giving you a subpar experience. The remaster is also very, very, very, very, very easy. Like really, really, really, really easy. It is essentially like playing Minecraft on peaceful mode. One of the many charms Dead Rising has is the difficulty factor. It took me over a year to 100% this game in achievements back in the 360 days.
'The remaster is also very, very, very, very, very easy. Like really, really, really, really easy. It is essentially like playing Minecraft on peaceful mode.' So you've already played and completed this deluxe remaster?
Yup. Part of what made Dead Rising so good was the stressful feeling over it all, and the overall difficulty really added to that. They completely neutered the bosses and basically every boss can be cheesed without even trying now. I just don’t see a reason to buy this version. The A.I. improvements are nice, that’s about it. Mirrors worked 18 years ago but not now? Pathetic. For reference, I’m a huge Capcom fan and I absolutely love RE2 remake and RE4 remake, and have loved almost every single mainline RE game. I also adore DeadRising 3 and I didn’t even *hate* DeadRising 4, I just didn’t like it. So I’m not some snob who hates anything new. There are NOTICEABLY less zombies in a game that was praised for big amounts of enemies onscreen. The exact same 18 year old animations are used for all of the cutscenes despite the new character models, so the cutscenes look weird and cheap. Characters regularly have stiff facial expressions that feel more awkward than the original. The new voices feel detached from the characters despite having new character models. Some of the brand spanking new character models looking genuinely worse than the originals despite having objectively WAY more detail, many times because of the lighting. The new voices acting is worse across the board, sometimes slightly worse, other times laughably awful anime-dub tier voice acting (Kent, Brad, Brock….. basically any side character has a noticeably fake accent or voice. I can just picture the actor in the booth doing the performance, whereas in the original the characters looked and sounded like they should, even when the acting or dialogue was cheesy. Kent’s is particularly awful in the new game) So much of the charm is lost, with the colorful mall being less colorful, and the “realistic” lighting seemingly looking washed out, and making many of the characters’ hair look grey when it shouldn’t. Bosses are neutered, not just gameplay wise, making them almost a complete non-threat, but also with the censorships to their look and dialogue. Is Gone Guru even a memorable or terrifying moment anymore? No blood splatter on Frank when eliminating crowds of zombies?!?! VERY noticeable clipping of character models directly on screen in major cutscenes (example: Isabella walking out of the grocery store) The smoke in the “Frog” cutscene looks absolutely laughable. There’s probably more but that’s just off the top of my head. As a giant Deadrising fan who thought the series was basically dead I was extremely excited about this remake until I actually saw (and heard) it. Now I DON’T want them to remake DeadRising 2 because I expect it to turn out like this. Again: what is my motivation for buying this?
@secondchance6603 are we really gonna pretend like you have to play the entire game to see how much easier it is? constant autosaves + putting arrows everywhere to tell you how to do things like get up to carlito alone is already hardcore baby-ifying the game
Removed Erotica bonus points from photo's (removed the Erotica feature entirely), the Butcher was Asian but now he's a white guy, the Vietnam PTSD veteran has had all references to Vietnam removed, less zombies, Non functioning mirrors. Removed original voice actors. Removal of the news ticker in the bottom.
I liked this game when it came out, I was just a kid and lacked the patience and attention span to complete this game. Maybe now I'll try and get back into it
I don't like what they have done with some of the characters.. And the removal of mechanics.. It's not enough to make want to play this over the original.
@@SmokinTonic Lol it wasnt "the most important category". It was hardly in the game at all. Calling it the most important category is the most permavirgin thing a person can say lmao.
I think it's mostly just Nostalgia from it being the first of its kind that people like it so much. I remember playing Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 day 1. They were both fun but the characters controls and story. I found all to be better in the second one... And the weapons and Co-op.
The time limit kinda stressed me out, that’s why I’ve always been a fan of the DLC version of DR2, Hopefully that game gets the same treatment at some point. Hopefully this one comes to gamepass at some point.
The better survivor ai already makes this leagues better then the original which I dropped as soon as a saw how fucking brain dead the survivor ai was. It’s probably still not for me because escort missions are so tedious that I would rather scoop my eyes out with spoons, but it’s good they fixed it.

As an original Dead Rising player, I can see why they made some of the changes.

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 don't play games with timers of any kind. I'll instantly drop the game if any timers dictate a game over. Doesn't bother me
@@zonedout3390 I hate timers like that in games too, I want to enjoy at my own pace. That's why I actually enjoyed Dead Rising 4 for getting rid of it and letting me explore a nice winter open world. That being said, I still really enjoyed Dead Rising despite the timer and apparently they made it easier with this remaster. So I would advise not to let that full stop you!
@@zonedout3390 I get it, but you need to think of this game like a coin-op in an arcade, where your quarter lasts like 6 hours or whatever it takes in real-time to complete the game start to finish. Then you replay as more of a badass, you can upgrade further, get more skills, rescue more people and find more secrets. The entire game is based around the 3 days the game cycles through and the changes that happen over those 3 days in terms of bad guys, zombie populations, missions etc.
The only change needed was better Survivor A.I., and some leeway on the timer.
I don't understand why people don't seem to stick with games like we used to? If you know that your progress is saved when having to restart, then that makes the timer a little more bearable as you're put in the mindset to experiment, learn, and have fun. Instead of trying to beat the game in one run.
Ya couldve sent survivors with command.

I'll never forget the week I got my 360. My friend and I stayed up for 12 hour turns, playing dead rising and Oblivion. One would sleep/eat, the other would play games. His mom called us in sick for a few days of school, it was so fun.
Can't wait to re-experience one of my childhood favorites. hopefully it is still fun in this somewhat altered form.
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.
I'll always remember the original as the game that forced me to get an HDTV.
By the end of the game you feel so powerful

Meditating on a rock, letting go of the ego
To me dead rising is one of those games that nobody ever sees the same way. It’s got such a specific identity it’s been hard for capcom to capture that magic again. Personally I still think DR2: Off The Record is the best mix of old and new. But I’m very excited to play this
Screw capcom…Rockstar NEED to remaster “The warriors”
One of Rockstar's best games right behind Bully.

Childhood game absolutely loved it but I’d settle for just them adding it to steam
As a diehard Dead Rising fan who played the first game for at least 1000 hours, we're just happy to see something Dead Rising.
They should have just gave it the full RE4 treatment
They did?
Its using the RE engine too
@@TamagoSarada_ Not really. If you watch the Original and this one side by side, they'll be identical at 95%. On the other hand, the Original Resident Evil 4 is vastly different from the Remake.
That's the reason why this game is labeled as a Deluxe Remaster, even though the game was remade from zero (Similar to Crash Nsane Trilogy and The Last Of Us Part I)
@@WaurufExNo, this is a remaster.
One youve mentioned, TLOU1 is remaster of a remaster.
Falsely called remake.
This game is remaster as they reused original game, in the way of doing like WDS did with GTA DE.
Porting textures, animations etc on unreal engine.
Everything is same except on reworked textures and few animations.
And removed animations & mirrors for some reasons.
Remake is Spyro, RE 2-4 and CB trilogy.
Fully worked from their own version.
More like a fanbase recreating in different than being like original.
@@SeriousDragonifyit’s a remakstar
Dead Rising 2 is the best for me. I remember playing it seven times straight, just to beat every boss, rescue every person etc, while playing with my daughter. The combo weapons were and incredible fun addition. While I enjoyed the sequels, for me the series peaked at DR2.
Dead Rising 2 had by far the best mall variety. Used to spend days and days and days just using the toys/weapons. Endless fun
i hope that one gets a deluxe remaster too.
@@soulreapermagnumif this remaster got good demand maybe they launch dr2
Deadrising was my very first xbox 360 game. This just made me so happy
Why? You've had the original for almost 19 years? Are you mentally ill?
Honestly there was no need to change lines or race on certain characters or the removal of fan service, this is a game, all the characters are fictional.
I've been playing the original since 2007 and beaten it countless times. This release is a dream come true
Im going to wait until mods are out for it and get it on pc.
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.
the game looks almost the same except better graphics and way easier. Might as well just play the old one. I figured they'd add a lot more but seems it's just a worse version of the same game.
Awkward and unpleasant ? That sounds just dumb... did we just watch the same video ?
No one is mentioning the music…did they change the music? What about the boss theme songs that played while you fought them, are they all the still there or did they change it? Legit the music in this game helped make it back in the day and I’d be devastated if they changed the music…
I can confirm all the original music is there.
However, there's an option in the settings to remove copyrighted music for when you're streaming, which I imagine a lot of content creators will have on so they don't get DMCA'd.
Gone Guru, Justified, and every other licensed track's all there.
From what i've gathered, the music is much of the same. Don't worry, the convict's boss theme is untouched.
Convict music is such a banger lol
I remember playing DR1 the week it came out. Scared the hell outa me at first since I was like...11ish, but the weird quirkiness of it quickly drew me in and it ended up being the first 360 game I ever 100%. I'm disappointed that Frank's voice is different, but I'll be getting the platinum on this for sure and reliving some of those childhood memories
Unfortunately no release in Germany since the entire Dead Rising series is still banned over here, except for part 4
Damn they only let the worst one be playable over there?! Sorry man that sucks 😢
Germany doesn't have the technology for VPNs?
Germany banning games? lol I remember when they ban an RTS game C&C Generals from 2003 for no reason

It will if the game succeeds, that's the whole reason they made this
same dude
If enough people buy it sure I just hope that they listen to the complaints about cliff too instead of saying well it sold well cause the cliff thing
Ima just wait for a mod to bring back the old voices, especially since the script is (mostly) identical. I need TJ to say "Ive covered Wars y'know..."
this game was a gem back in the day, i remember trying to barricade the entrance to the hardware store attempts to rid the area of zombies before the military come only for it to disappear when we leave the area, still think the game franchise is missing that aspect for a zombie survival
I'll wait for the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Super HD Max Plus version.
How is the soundtrack? One of the big things for me was discovering the artist celldweller because of this game series. A good number of his songs were the soundtracks to the psycho fights
I hear you on the graphics, but I'm honestly nothing but pleased with it. This is an all-time favorite game of mine, and I'm just thrilled to have a modern take on it.
Edit: Thinking about it, it's easily a top 3 game of all time for me. And I only ever had the chance to play when I could rent it from Hollywood Video or Blockbuster back in the day.
I'll wait for the modders to at least swap the voices with the OG voices. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for them to revert Larry back to Chinese.
if it's using the same engine as the newer resident evil games, it is really easy.
wasn't aware that larry chiang isn't chinese
Larry is still Chinese. Just not a stereotype made when Capcom was less than fond of China.
I believe he is actually Taiwanese, "Chiang" is a common last name for Taiwanese people . He got erased because China does not see Taiwan as a country so they could sell it in China.
Screw u and the modders
They really took damn near all the gore away & just gave us a bunch of blood. What the fuck.
6:50 why is the cart so big, Frank looks like he's 5 feet tall lol
There's nothing this game offers that Off The Record doesn't already have. And as a game from 2011, you don't have to worry about censorship or topics that aren't for "modern" times.
You know, expect for being dead rising 1 and not 2.
I'm gunna regret asking this from someone that uses "modern" like that... But what was censored here?
If you reply "There was one line that wasn't at all pivotal to the story or tone that was possibly offensive that was CENSORED, and that ruined the entire game for me!" then I'm going to have regretted asking.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 They got rid of the erotica photo genre exp, changed the race of a boss from Asian to white and removed the lore of a boss completely
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465they removed the erotica category of photos and mission, which I can get. The weird one I can’t understand is they removed Cliff’s reference to the Viet Cong, which completely changes his backstory and trauma that led him to become a psychopath.
@@seventeenseventythirteen7465 minor shit that most people don't care about. The real issue is that the game is clearly way easier. To me, the first one wasn't exactly the toughest game, but it wasn't a walk in the park either (unless you know how to use the mini chainsaws, books, and blenders to cheese everything, but very few new players would figure that out on their own).
Part of the fun for me was that you'd mostly likely fail a lot at first, esp. in the early game. An easy Dead Rising doesn't seem worth playing. And aside from better graphics, seems like fans won't get much out of this.
The MOST IMPORTANT question, clown's chainsaw + three magazines is still OP combination?
If not, we revolt?
Don't mess with perfection
chainsaw is rumored to have been nerfed
Guns are over powered in this version.
Chainsaws, 3 magazines, and a lot of Orange Juice.
I remember seeing the magazines in the local game store, one of the quotes was, “chop till you drop”. Still one of my favorite childhood games
The OG Dead Rising really blew me away in 2016 (I missed out on the console generation in 2006), and has always been my "desert island" game pick if I could only have 1 game. I can't wait to play DRDR tomorrow.
Deadrising 2 needs to be remastered
Part 4 , my favorite, Christmas 🎄 one!
It's fun and easy .
I don't think it does. DR1 needed the quality of life improvements like survivor AI, dodge rolling, and moving while aiming. DR2 already has these, it's perfect as is
I think if this does well, we might see the same treatment applied to DR2. And maybe eventually a new game, hopefully with coop.
A censored version of DR2? No thanks.

Hey we appreciate you!
Love to see great games like this return but I'm not paying full price again. Remakes shouldn't be more then 40 at launch max.
What about RE4
So they changed actors, storylines, engines, designs and controls. Why not just make a new game at this point?
Why are you asking a question that has been answered for a decade already?
Answer: It's because it's cheaper to remaster or remake a game and it has a established playerbase and it's been proven it sells. Data doesn't lie, a new IP is a gamble and too costly for a guarenteed return investment.
@@zonedout3390People already got tired of remastering games.

Many zombie games being popular as a trend since COD WW1 then died like 7-9 years ago.
@@SeriousDragonify Ah, yes. Because you can pretty much draw a line between Quake 2 Remastered and Starcraft Remastered.
People aren't tired of remasters across the board, generally speaking. They're tired of low effort yet full price (or near to) bullshit like TLoU2:R, where it's a game that they've played recently, with so little changed or improved that it wouldn't have been out of place to have been released as a free update instead of a full price release.

Also the perfect date for release since that’s when the game starts when you land at the mall. Smart choice by the team!
Damn, still no Dead Rising on the Switch, which SHOULD be able to handle it. I would love playing this on the go while taking a break at my local mall.

@@Stinkyremy Don't get me started on IGN, Dean Takahashi puts out better reviews than them at the moment. But yeah you nailed it on the head.

Blood effects are worse unfortunately. In the original it was more physics based. Here every time you hit a zombie a pile of blood spawns instantly below them. And the splatter flying around just disappear in mid air...
regardless of how the remaster looks, the one thing to remember is that the original game is still available. I think this is just Capcom wanting to have a fresher looking version of the game out there, but the fact that they still have the original game on sale for get this $10 is a good thing.
These are the types of reviews i live for,
I don’t have interest in buying This(particularly because i got into dead rising late) but it’s interesting to hear TRUE pro’s and cons about a game, not worried about a “score”..up’s and down’s features, nitpicking is okay because i love small little things like that that could make or break a game for me. I love how Gameranx reviews feel more open ended and for the consumer to decide, it feels like im talking to my friends online about video games and i thank you
Why pay more for a censored and lesser version when you can play the first remaster ? You can even see the comparisons side by side they didn't got right even the fire physics.
I seen the comparisons and reinstalled the original, think I'll skip the remake.
Whenever you guys would mention Dead Rising in your top 10s, I would always thank you guys for showing the series some attention

@Thisisjohn2184 I couldn't agree more.
10:32 the pause menu looks nice but is missing the best thing that the original pause menu had. The original would continue to play any in game music so you could continue to listen to it without getting chomped to bits. The new pause menu throws that out and abruptly cuts it off with absolute silence. I despise this change with a passion and it makes all the new added options for in game mall music seem mostly pointless to me.
Let's make a mall that you'd want to explore... NEED to explore... but set a strict time limit for the whole game.
They also removed the “Erotica” photo grade and mission from the game entirely 🙁
Honestly I always felt that it was weird. You’re supposed to be a protag but the game rewards you for upskirting jesse? It’s straight up required for the principle Ken story. Weird.
With the exception of Cheryl, who you still do the “sexy photo” mission with, it’s just not a category anymore.
Which isn't a total deal breaker. Just say you're weird.

The future of the dead rising series is probably riding on how well this sells.
The wombo combo of absolutely butchering Frank's model whilst changing his VA (again) does so much to rip lots of the charm out of the game.
I really wanna support the resurgence of this franchise but seeing the protagonist immediately mishandled feels like RE3R all over again and it's a real shame because Willamette looks amazing
I loved the first game ans played the hell out of it when it came out amd the following years. I am excited that now in my 30s with a family I have a nice updated version to look forward to and play. The more casual gameplay is right up my ally with less time to play and master games these days. Perfect for some nostalgic fun
My First interaction with the series was the Wii version of this game, I know it isn’t the best out there, but the concept was so much fun back there ❤ love West and his adventures since then, even in MvC3 😁
I hate that they removed the "Erotica" category for photos. This tendency for the gaming industry to be so afraid of anything sexual is honestly tiring. I get that not every game should be like that, but it's not in the B-movie spirit of this franchise to dump something like that.
I replayed deadrising 2 for some hype and nostalgia and I forgot how good and bold games used to be, Im 30 for context. DR2 had playboy posters (non nude), skimpy outfits and strip poker (non nude). I saw that and realized that games will NEVER be like DR2 again. beat it all the way past overtime.
You can still take photos of boobies and draw a pink circle around it! You might have to dub the lines in yourself!
@morganniehus120 Exactly! I'm not saying every game should be like that, but it's wrong to prevent every game from being like that. Puritanism is ruining a lot, in my opinion.
It's not 2000s anymore it's 2024 culture has changed dramatically. I think some of minority people are stuck in the past not the present. Watch many shows where people said it's not good to live in the past other wise stuck in your ways of the 2000s fantasy world.
So you have literally no clue about the gaming industry or games which are released. How full of micro plastics is your brain? Games (and film, and TV, and books, and comics) have NEVER been more sexual, or more willing to show nudity (which isn't inherently sexual it must be pointed out). You're 'tired' of something you've made up in your own delusions and cluelessness. Embarrassing.

Played Dead Rising 1 and 2 religiously. Mostly the second one. I’m looking forward to giving this remaster a try. Gonna try to keep an open mind lol.
It is a soulless censored $50 cash grab. If you want to play Dead Rising, play the original. I know, I know, 2006, but trust me, it is the best version to experience Dead Rising in all its glory. If the remaster was like $20, sure, but it costs $50 while giving you a subpar experience. The remaster is also very, very, very, very, very easy. Like really, really, really, really easy. It is essentially like playing Minecraft on peaceful mode. One of the many charms Dead Rising has is the difficulty factor. It took me over a year to 100% this game in achievements back in the 360 days.
'The remaster is also very, very, very, very, very easy. Like really, really, really, really easy. It is essentially like playing Minecraft on peaceful mode.'
So you've already played and completed this deluxe remaster?
Yup. Part of what made Dead Rising so good was the stressful feeling over it all, and the overall difficulty really added to that. They completely neutered the bosses and basically every boss can be cheesed without even trying now.
I just don’t see a reason to buy this version. The A.I. improvements are nice, that’s about it. Mirrors worked 18 years ago but not now? Pathetic.
For reference, I’m a huge Capcom fan and I absolutely love RE2 remake and RE4 remake, and have loved almost every single mainline RE game. I also adore DeadRising 3 and I didn’t even *hate* DeadRising 4, I just didn’t like it. So I’m not some snob who hates anything new.
There are NOTICEABLY less zombies in a game that was praised for big amounts of enemies onscreen.
The exact same 18 year old animations are used for all of the cutscenes despite the new character models, so the cutscenes look weird and cheap.
Characters regularly have stiff facial expressions that feel more awkward than the original.
The new voices feel detached from the characters despite having new character models.
Some of the brand spanking new character models looking genuinely worse than the originals despite having objectively WAY more detail, many times because of the lighting.
The new voices acting is worse across the board, sometimes slightly worse, other times laughably awful anime-dub tier voice acting (Kent, Brad, Brock….. basically any side character has a noticeably fake accent or voice. I can just picture the actor in the booth doing the performance, whereas in the original the characters looked and sounded like they should, even when the acting or dialogue was cheesy. Kent’s is particularly awful in the new game)
So much of the charm is lost, with the colorful mall being less colorful, and the “realistic” lighting seemingly looking washed out, and making many of the characters’ hair look grey when it shouldn’t.
Bosses are neutered, not just gameplay wise, making them almost a complete non-threat, but also with the censorships to their look and dialogue. Is Gone Guru even a memorable or terrifying moment anymore?
No blood splatter on Frank when eliminating crowds of zombies?!?!
VERY noticeable clipping of character models directly on screen in major cutscenes (example: Isabella walking out of the grocery store)
The smoke in the “Frog” cutscene looks absolutely laughable.
There’s probably more but that’s just off the top of my head.
As a giant Deadrising fan who thought the series was basically dead I was extremely excited about this remake until I actually saw (and heard) it. Now I DON’T want them to remake DeadRising 2 because I expect it to turn out like this.
Again: what is my motivation for buying this?
@secondchance6603 are we really gonna pretend like you have to play the entire game to see how much easier it is? constant autosaves + putting arrows everywhere to tell you how to do things like get up to carlito alone is already hardcore baby-ifying the game

It’s probably still not for me because escort missions are so tedious that I would rather scoop my eyes out with spoons, but it’s good they fixed it.
Oh god what have they done to Kay??? This is supposed to look better than the original ….
Also where are the other girls tied up???
This is Dead Rising: Soy Edition
@@kaineym3371 they die if you don’t get to the scoop in a certain time
It does look better, you “fans” just like to nitpick
@@rickyaburgos environmental wise yes but the survivors look like 💩 bffr
I wish they added multiplayer to this. Always wondered what the first one would be like in co-op.
Broken and terrible.
Like DR2 and far more broken in OtR.
@@SeriousDragonify Well I would guess by now they would do it right.
@@Guitarfollower22no clue what that lobotomite is talking about. has to be bait i’ve never seen someone ever say dr2/OTR coop was broken or bad, it was so good this dude is on crack. i agree i wish this had coop but oh well
@@SeriousDragonify how is co-op in dr2 broken and terrible? playing 2 and otr co-op was some of the most fun you could have with dr2 what are you smoking
@@swaggymungdaal Randomly servers kick your coop partner, trophy glitches prevent from unlocking.
It's a nightmare. Even on first month after release was terrible and they dont care.
Also bud, at least google instead of being ignorant.
Whole community taks abt being terrible.
I remember getting the zombrex edition of DR2 when i was younger. Came in a cool metal case with a pen in medical packaging that looked like a syringe 🤣 man I miss physical games..
I've never played any of the DR games but I've watched playthroughs of them by friends and streamers. The compass and item health bars are a good addition that I can see. I might end up getting this at some point.
Censoring this game should lower the score
I REALLY REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND why these developers and companies fail to do a gamers survey *
It’s not that difficult!!!!!
It saves time, money, resources and Ensures that the gamers get what they want and expect as consumers …
Tired of these companies coming up short constantly but yet QUICK to charge!!!!
