Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

3/12/26 Dead Rising "Deluxe Remaster" was not an thing I expected, but here we are. It's just more RE-Engine Slop like the RE Remakes, and was their attempt to reboot the franchise into the spotlight, by remaking the original and seeing how it went for more remakes. Capcom is on the Sequel and Remake train anyway for the past few years so this was unavoidable. Now, I'm not gonna get into the story or details as it's just the same as the OG, but with different diologe at some points. i WILL consider writing a review at some point on DR Remastered though, which is cheaper and still up for sale. Gameplay is different though and the rest of the mall has changed too. And also the inclusion of Yellow Paint for people who lack brain cells. Now, the good things is that they added clothing lockers and reworked the gameplay to be more modern. I like some of the stuff like Mall Music selections and the game being more easier, and also better survivor AI. Also movement aiming which the OG only let you be stationary with guns. I was able to complete the game start-to-finish with no difficulty issues, and was way easier then the OG Dead Rising. I A Ranked basically in 1 sitting and unlocked everything after. They also added a notebook where you can check status on challenges and it's unlocks, so your not in the dark about what tf to do. They also readded new details to enviornments, overhauled locations and just made the game look better overall. But then, my god, is this version lacking a lot. There's glaring issues. Missing features, unneeded character changes and missing classic VAs. For example, they removed Commie references with the Cliff Psychopath and removed the Sexual points if you do Panty or tit shots. Also, they made The Butcher Psycho, Larry Chiang Chinese to an White Asian, I guess because he looked like a Chinese Sterotype. The Zombies aren't really much of a threat either, which is why this version is easier also. In OG DR1, they were constantly charging at you and were an active threat. They would tear you up in big groups. In Deluxe, they are slower, and more of an obsticle. I could stand infront of one for 5 minutes and it would still be trying to stumble toward me. Meanwhile in 06, they would just lunge and gain momentum at me the moment it could. Performance is kinda eh, it has some issues. It needed some time in the oven to optimize stuff. But it runs fine, haven't had any issues and no crashes. The game hasn't had a patch since release though, so it was just a DUMP AND RUN sorta thing. I give it a solid 8/10 It holds it own and tries some new stuff, but the changes were unnessesary and isn't a Remaster if it's missing small stuff. Then it's a "Remake". Other then that, try it out if your curious, it's a good starter for people who aren't used to the dated gameplay or difficulty of the 2006 Original and want to try out the series, but I'd say try that one out if you wanna goto the roots of the series.

Main reason I'm giving this a thumbs down: It stopped allowing Family Share in a recent update. BUT ALSO it runs like garbage and crashes all the time.

[h1]Remaster que, na verdade, parece um remake. [/h1] Após platinar esse jogo, que é um dos meus favoritos de todos os tempos, venho aqui dar o meu veredito. Finalmente a Capcom aprendendo a lançar releituras de jogos velhos sem precisar ficar mexendo em coisas e inventando reimaginações desnecessárias. Os gráficos estão belos e a otimização é muito boa, e a dublagem em PT-BR também é legal, principalmente quando se leva em conta que Dead Rising tende mais para o lado do humor do que algo sério. Rejogar essa maravilha novamente sempre me traz uma nostalgia com as vastas horas que eu gastava jogando O original no Xbox 360. A gameplay está modernizada e ainda mais divertida, o que facilita, já que no original era tenebroso mirar com armas. O jogo tem censura, mas isso não importa quando se nota os plus adicionados ao jogo. Dead Rising é uma franquia que merecia mais atenção por parte da Capcom. Eu simplesmente adoro todas as referências que eles fazem a outros jogos da empresa. É um jogo que tem seu charme. Fica aí a minha recomendação dessa joia!

This game has some minor issues like changing characters voices , looks ,dialogues and background they more tamed than they were in the original. i did come across some lag in some cut scenes like the helicopter the voice cuts off , other example is one of the soldier in one scene was speaking with voice. the only good thing i like about the game is a new gameplay mechanic and they gived a option to switch to original gameplay mechanics which is great. 3/5 rating is all it gets if they didnt change the characters it would of been a 5/5 rating. you dropped the ball capcom !

This game take you back to simple times, where you have an object a good storyline and a good gameplay with a space for creativity in dealing with zombies

Para mim, um dos melhores jogos da Capcom e um dos melhores jogos de zumbi. Tudo nesse jogo funciona muito bem: o mapa, os personagens carismáticos, a questão do tempo que sempre deixa o jogador na correria e, claro, os psicopatas (bosses), cada um bem diferente do outro, mostrando o que um apocalipse pode fazer com as pessoas. Mesmo tendo um tom muito sério, o jogo permite que você se vista como quiser, e isso permanece nas cutscenes, dando uma quebra de clima que geralmente gera muitas risadas. Além disso, qualquer coisa pode ser usada como arma, tornando a jogabilidade sempre dinâmica e divertida. As revistas oferecem algum tipo de bônus—não são essenciais, mas podem ser bastante úteis. A platina pode ser um pouco chata e desafiadora, mas as recompensas in-game geralmente valem a pena. Para quem gosta de jogos de zumbi, recomendo muito! É um jogo extremamente divertido e, com certeza, jogarei novamente um dia.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remastered: The Absolute King of Zombie Sandbox Horror As a veteran who has been with Frank West since the original 2006 mall breakout, hitting 100% on the Deluxe Remaster (DRDR) is the ultimate way to prove you’ve still "covered wars." Playing this on Steam in 2026 feels like a brutal, high-fidelity celebration of the series. It keeps the soul of Willamette intact while finally fixing the jank that used to make a 100% run feel like a second job. Quality of Life: No More "Otis Anxiety" The biggest change for a series veteran? Moving while aiming and hands-free calls. * The Calls: Being able to jump and slash through a crowd while Otis is talking—without him hanging up on you and calling back annoyed—is a dream come true. Survivor AI: They finally have survival instincts! Escorting 8 people at once for the "Tour Guide" or "The Grateful Eight" achievements used to be a nightmare of survivors getting stuck on pebbles. Now, they actually follow orders, making the path to the "Saint" achievement feel like a tactical mission rather than a babysitting slog. The 100% Mastery: New Challenges, Old Habits Achieving "Goodbye, Willamette!" required revisiting all the classic grinds, but with some fresh RE Engine twists. Zombie Annihilator (53,594 Kills): The legendary number is back. Grinding this out in the maintenance tunnels to unlock the Real Mega Buster is still the essential rite of passage. On PC, the sheer number of zombies on screen at once makes the car-plowing even more satisfying than the 360 days. 7 Day Survivor: This is the big one. In the original, you had to leave your console on for 14 hours straight. In the Deluxe Remaster, the ability to save and speed up time in Infinity Mode is a total game-changer. It’s still a test of resource management and psychopath hunting, but it actually respects your time as a player. PP Collector: Hunting down all 100 PP Stickers with the new camera filters and flash mechanics turned the mall into a giant scavenger hunt that I actually enjoyed completing again. Atmosphere and Gore The RE Engine does wonders for the "sticky" horror of Dead Rising. The psychopaths look more deranged than ever, and the environmental storytelling in places like the North Plaza feels much more visceral. Plus, seeing the damage on Frank’s varied costumes (from the Servbot head to the classic suit) in 4K/144fps is just the icing on the cake. The Verdict Whether it’s your first time in the mall or your hundredth, the Deluxe Remaster is the gold standard for how to bring a classic back. It retains the strict time-management pressure we love but removes the technical frustration. 100%-ing this was a nostalgia trip that reminded me why Dead Rising is in a league of its own.
