I don't like this remaster's art direction, they fucked up the original art direction so much. That "almost impossibly lit" look that many malls have, that mood and tone was all lost, and some mall areas are way too fancy for where the mall is supposed to be located, it's in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Colorado, so the mall is supposed to look simple and kinda shitty. Also the way the RE engine does dynamic lighting is weird, those light casts in many well lit areas just seem out of place imo. Although I like a lot of quality of life improvements they added, like the health for items, the staircase close to the vents, the small info that appears close to the main objective, now it's not needed to always constantly check the watch and be potentially vulnerable.

[@TheOneBearded]

RE engine games have this strange quirk where almost everyone's hair has this weird shine to it. Not sure why some are excluded. I keep seeing it on Frank's hair in the last few videos and it's just so jarring to me.

RE Engine is the ugliest engine right now. RE2/3 and Devil May Cry 5 have disgusting baby-teethed cretins. RE4 has Leon looking like a fucking caveman wearing his brow ridge like an emo fringe, complete with a snaggle tooth when he talks and more pockmarks than the oiliest of teenagers. They took the definitive, objectively sexiest character in the entire series and made him look like a creep trying to cosplay as Leon. For clarity's sake I have to admit that I had fun playing RE 2/3/4, and Devil May Cry 5. Great games. Even went out of my way to 100% RE4 before the DLC.

I think the main problem with removing the erotica is it cuts down on the themes of Frank and Kent being skeezy journalists. Whether that's pandering to modern audiences or avoiding getting review bombed by kotaku "journalists" is a different story altogether.

Kent is a photographer while Frank is a Journalist, if anything Frank is trying to AVOID being like Kent since they are Foils

dr1 frank is a lil more morally correct than other versions of him, also the whole point of frank being in williamette was to cover the outbreak, not the women. erotica just doesnt really need to be here nor should it matter to a single soul if its there or not especially if theyre actively giving gameplay improvements.

I said this before on a thread but I thought this comment might work on it’s own. The entire Dead Rising games always have blatant sexual themes. Removing them that was already established takes away on what made DR different from zombie games. Either way, I’m cautious with this remaster.

[@adamgerald849]

Changing it implies there was something wrong with the original. And there wasnt. Inafune always wanted sexual themes in Dead Rising. He's talked about it before. In fact he wanted DR2 to be more sexual thats why he chose a vegas-style city for it. Jessie's t1ts and the erotica genre hurt no one. No man alive has ever played DR1 and thought "hmmmm.... guess I'll go r@pe someone now." We all admit video games don't cause violence, so obviously they don't cause men to go around r@ping everything in sight either. Thats ludicrous. Video games are art. Inafune created this art and he wanted these elements in the game. It has nothing to do with "coomers" because there's nothing even overtly sexual about it. Its some cleavage, and some exposed knees. Big deal. But changing implies there was something wrong with anyone who liked those elements and there's not. I'm tired of video games being changed just to please these orc feminists who only play Pokemon & Mario. I'm not buying it because they've just confirmed the original was better. And 50% of the reason I'm not buying it is because they changed TJ as Frank's VA. And they made Frank look like he's half goblin. Really? Everyone else looks more like their original concept art except Frank. If a modder can make him look normal in 5 minutes than they can too. They made him look weird on purpose. For what reason is anyone's guess. Maybe they hate guy's that have covered wars. Or maybe Capcom is turning into exactly the same as every other Western AAA studio and going to start churning out the same slop as Ubisoft and EA every year just to chase western investors funding. Oh and the coolest items will be locked behind microtransactions. Another big reason I'm not supporting this game. Maybe I'll p1rate it instead and mod to add back everything they removed just to piss the people offended by DR1 off. If you guys can enjoy it still im happy for you but i cant enjoy a soulless copy that was only made to take my money with microtransactions.

But when they make frank look more like he was supposed to, you get mad at that? Frank is supposed to be ugly. That's the whole thing. He's the opposite of Leon. Leon is a hot dude with training, frank is an ugly American with no training at all, doing the right thing at first just to get a scoop, but growing a heart of gold. The fact that Frank looking ugly is a problem to you shows that you don't care what the creator wanted.

@@shinydewott Censorship is killing the industry and each time we let it slide, the more ground gamers lose - you give an inch, they take a mile. As I said it's the principle rather than what's actually being censored is what's important. Most people don't actually care about being awarded for erotic shots but we do care about the principle of creative vision and the preservation of it. Too many games today feel safe, handicapped, uninspired, and locked down. We don't get games that are willing take risks, be brutally grounded, or give us something unique because of fear of offending someone. It dampens and manipulates what creators want to do with their games and you feel every bit of it in the end product. This is especially important when you're remaking a game.

Things like the Larry change make sense especially since Capcom plans to sell this in global (so i.e Asian and SEA) territories where such "depictions" by a JAPANESE developer can come across more insensitive in said regions than originally intended. However, the removal of Erotica and other certain edits is just such an unnecessary change and it always rubs me the wrong way when stuff is removed, no matter how small. The argument always is "it's inconsequential so it doesn't matter". If it's truly that inconsequential to the game then why remove it in the first place instead of keeping it in? I think the quality of life changes balance it out, and there's always the original to go back to, so I will still play this version and form my own thoughts, but I just wanted to say it perplexes me that these things are done.

There's a part of a side quest in the OG Dead Rising is that Frank has called by Otis and requested by Cherryl, a sexy survivor, to take a picture of her in the safe room with a gruop of embarrassing survivors. It's the hilarious thing in Dead Rising ever in my opinion! I hope the Deluxe Remastered has this quest or not. 🤞

[@bosscomplex]

im extremely disappointed that they removed and changed things. larry, the erotica tag, cliffs dialogue censored etc. they are all pretty much pointless changes, which sucks. my main criticism is how dark the lighting is, the game just overall looks alot darker due to the lighting they are using this time around. the mall just doesn't pop like it used to honestly, it has more detail sure but most of it is obscured by too much shadowing or whatever. most of the voices surprisingly sound good for the most part, the clown sounds exactly the same while the grocery store manager sounds a bit too off but also not terrible. bringing the closet from dr3 is a great idea, same with the blender in the safe house. i love that music like gone guru is back. having every line of dialogue voiced will be amazing. the fact survivors have added dialogue while escorting them is faantastic. etc. i think that overall, the game has alot of improvements and imo as a "hardcore DR fan", the positive changes outweigh the negative changes so far.

People never complain when Japan censores a game, they just blame America. Japan has censored almost every single American made game.

And people still act like they're "against censorship"

[@Mae4Ever]

@@camharkness We did. And we just laugh how crappy the port is and be thankful that our American game isn't nowhere as bad as GTA SA's Japanese port. "No one complained about American games being censored in japan" because we're not being sold to a crappy japan port of a game.

[@DisasterMillennial]

i have liked and i have been subscribed so there's only one thing left to do... i'm excited for DRDR. yeah it's a bit of a bummer to remove content but after a certain point i stopped taking pictures anyway in OG Dead Rising so not a huge deal imo

[@Ecdycis]

Based

[@Ploobie86]

Usually I would say I don't care, but I find Kent's line of "This is my sexiest shot" to be iconic. Also, I loved the survivor mission of having to go safe room to photograph that one lady in her underwear. I thought that mission was wonderfully stupid, which fits the world really well. I'm just tired of censorship for the sake of avoiding offending people, when I feel that the reality is that very few people if any are genuinely offended by this kind of stuff. I also dislike Maria's costume re-design in the SH2 remake, especially because her dressing sexy is important to the plot of the game.

[@NothingOsaka]

It should be fun, I like being called a Mole but will enjoy the OG dialogue more when I play the original

[@wutaguy]

@Ecdycis oh yea, I'm still hyped regardless. Infinity mode sounds like it will actually be fun now.

[@bi0hazard921]

I’m gonna be honest them removing erotic photos doesn’t bother me that much, it’s the over all censorship nature of MODERN GAMING AS A WHOLE that bothers me. It makes me not want to support anything that has a hint of censorship in it. Edit: We have games like BG3 that will let you BE ANYTHING YOU WANT WHILE ALSO BANGING ANYTHING YOU WANT, but God forbid you take a sexy photo of a woman in a zombie infested Mall as a photographer, while simultaneously murdering survivors and psychopaths alike. Like where is the logic in that? Good thing I play on PC, I can just mod whatever the fuck I want in. 😁

[@stevsux4442]

On the topic of removing erotica I think at least some of it might come from the line that seemed to be drawn for Capcom with re6 where they love horn dogging characters but Helenas sister was a victim in all aspects and what she became was only sexy to the player. I think they want to put the line more on the side or characters being sexy because they want to be and are confident in it. Now I still have my reservations on making EVERY character sexy and confident in the same pandering way but with dead rising a lot of it was on that line of victimization with a lot of the zombies wearing those outfits for work or the pictures almost entirely being candid cams. My main problem is why just remove the erotica points and not also replace all of it removing the players ability to be gross for their own pleasure and shift it into making characters/bosses that are in line with what Capcom does now?

[@Ecdycis]

So it's weird to me solely because SF6 and RE Village had incredibly horny marketing. I think a lot of it is carry over from DR4 since there is no Erotica in that

Hey Ecdycis - i am a longtime fan of deadrising 1, capcom in general; in fact the first game i bought that was next gen in the 360 era was DR1 😆 I dont think people are aware that generally the American Capcom brand is actually the one in charge of censoring things. Case and point Street Fighter / Final Fight, where Poison is a "transgendered woman" in America but a "newhalf" in Japan (man who looks like a woman). This has actually been the story of censorship between countries. So the Japanese version likely still will have it, but in America 3rotica probably won't be present.

[@Dopamiin3]

Well if thats the case then japan wont be getting gore. its been stated that all dismembring will be censored in japan. an eye for an eye

They removed Isabella from the mission "Damsel in distress". She's no longer unconscious in the shopping cart during the fight with Steven. They've more than likely renamed the mission & completely removed Isabella from that mission.

[@blueshellincident]

It's not a good look to remove the Gooning option, just looks like weak cowtowing to me. I'm not gonna miss it since it was a useless mechanic, but it does make me side eye. Honestly, the only thing I really care 100% about is my man TJ Rotolo missing. I got over Frank looking old quickly, but you can never replace his deliveries and how he brought Frank to life.
