Should We Be Worried About The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?

No,
Dead Rising is a franchise I hold quite near to my heart and I have been over the moon to see a game I let define the last 6 years of my life return in a new fashion.
In this video I go over the trailer and Capcom Next showcases as we talk about a lot of the changes, positives, and concerns I have with this Deluxe Remaster.
Overall I'm looking forward to it and and hopeful to share a new era of Dead Rising with you all, the next upload will be much sooner since I wanted to get this out quickly since I just got back from traveling to SGDQ

Hopefully!

[@gfhhfgZ]

Yeah, I hope so as well, at the very least they could just make each day not last 2 irl hours (idk like 30 min each day, so it's 3 and a half hours for 7 days, not 14). Though I would prefer if they just add stuff to it and make it actually fun to play.

[@DynamiteBigB]

@@gfhhfgZ it would be fine if it was still super long if they just made it like permadeath in other games. Make it so that you can save as much as you want but when you die it deletes all of your saves in that mode.

[@gfhhfgZ]

​@@DynamiteBigB Yes I had that thought as well, but some people really fought tooth and nail against that idea on the steam discussions, something like "it takes the challenge away" from this incredible easy mode. Honestly, anything that lets us live our lives without having to be in front of the game for 14hs straight is good in my book.

IMO a character's voice actor is the most important part. It's like a fingerprint. TJ is Frank West.

[@cantnevercould9660]

@@Ecdycis Sure, but it's difficult to get invested into characters when their voice actor keeps changing. That's the issue with the RE protagonists. Their personalities often change with voice actors. Stephanie Panisello has a much different vibe for Claire compared to Alyson Court.

[@joueusedelacave7798]

@@Ecdycis The difference btw DR and RE VA though is that in RE they may change the VA but they cast voice actors with similar voices while with Frank, the old and new voice sounds COMPLETELY different.

[@Mario2Master]

I genuinely think they had to change Larry’s look completely because it had to have been impossible to make a 4K model of Larry based on the original that isn’t horribly offensive and racist. Like I was a bit on the fence about how he looks in the original, orange yellow skin and his eyes don’t even open and missing front teeth is basically an early 2000s offensive Asian stereotype lol it probably wouldn’t have been a smart idea to depict Larry that way today especially with the hate crimes against Asians that happened not too long ago. However this new Larry look seems really interesting and as someone said in a Reddit thread that he actually looks like someone who works for the willamette mall butcher shop instead of og Larry who looks like he just kinda wandered in and started cutting meat lol

[@Ecdycis]

Larry in the original game was a charming character and I like the foil he served to Carlito, I definitely understand the changes. I just hope he is still Chinese and would look more appropriate in the modern age but it is okay if they change him

[@bcd32dok36]

Yeah Larry looked more like a butcher who works with the triads rather than a friendly meat cutter.

[@TLC673]

Whats interesting is these are Japanese developers no? Even if they did do racist-Larry it's not like it's a bunch of white Americans doing it.. I'm surprised Capcom is this careful tbh

The developers are Japanese yes, Larry Chiang is a Chinese American Butcher. Tensions between Chinese/Japanese people are quite high especially as of late and it'd arguably be worse

This new VA seems a bit hammy for a "Journalist who is thrown into a terrifying situation and told to survive". Things I like: Literally everything else

[@BEDCORN]

Jazz being out of place in a Dead Rising game???

[@joueusedelacave7798]

Yeah, the only thing that disappoints me is the new voice, but Frank's new design is growing on me, even though I still think he should have looked younger, this new design looks more like OTR Frank, after he became a depressed alcoholic.

[@Ecdycis]

I think a healthy balance between goofy and not is important

[@spiderboymatt]

They decided to go with the beta version of Frank from a year before the game released. The game artist said he wanted to go for an ugly, wacky design originally then they scrapped it for a more refined version. I think it fits the vibe of Dead Rising, serious at times, stupid for the majority and cheesy as all hell

[@blueshellincident]

Dead rising 1 was much more serious in a lot of ways. Just the way Frank handles psychopaths and how he talks at the ending with Carlito and the soldier dude he feels more like a human than Chuck making those macabre, irreverent puns.

This is driving me insane. Why is nobody noticing that the new camera is too low and way too close to Frank, compared to the original DR? People are noticing all the little details, but they're completely blind to an evident major issue that plagued the series since the "canadian" sequel! Maybe they're doing it to better show off the new graphics, who knows - but in a game that's all about navigating hordes and planning your route, it's a terrible mistake. The primary reason no sequel felt like DR was the camera, it's as simple as that.

[@reviewpanda3125]

It's not that bad imo

[@catoblepag]

@@reviewpanda3125 Then I guess people has different tolerance levels... for me, it's a game-breaking issue. It just feels claustrophobic, in DR2 I constantly wanted to see more and be more aware of my surroundings.

My big issue with 2 honestly is just how floaty it is. DR games have a lot of freedom with the camera so it usually passes the mind a bit

[@catoblepag]

​@@Ecdycis It felt floaty, yeah, and I also think that improving the survivor AI took away a lot of the tension and fun (they've already confirmed doing it again for this "remake", another thing that worries me). I never thought about this before, but DR mentions cattle experiments in Santa Cabeza, and funnily enough I can see the surivor mechanics of DR1 as a cattle wrangler minigame. There was the occasional frustrating moment, sure, but knowing you've managed to direct dumb animals right to the corral was a very rewarding experience. I wonder if some quality of life improvements really make sense, when they fix something that's supposed to be a challenge in the first place.

The one clear improvement is the ramp to avoid survivors getting stuck at the vent. I want to know how it will play because it looks like it’ll play similarly to dr3 and not DR1’s gameplay. The loss of the Ritolo will likely mean most will want a mod to AI voice him. I’m unsure if they will use other voices since they were very limited on this reveal. I hope the gameplay is solid but I’m not going to preorder and I hope they don’t delist the original. The other hope is that they don’t go out of their way to prevent mods since capcom is really against mods right now.

I doubt the original gets delisted and this looks incredibly promising from the gameplay, it is quite actually DR1 with a fresh coat of paint.

It's incredibly unlikely to come back and it shouldn't be in DR1. Part of the game design was that anything in the game can be used, Combo weapons would heavily limit this.

The only thing I hope is that they make Survivors capable of escaping the zombie snatch

[@mediawatcher9225]

If it’s not only good but sells incredibly well, we will see a full resurgence of this series, I want to see dr 2 get the same treatment and maybe pull a re4 remake separate ways for the case west where you play as frank instead of chuck, and add case zero to the base game, I think that alone would make it so much more worth it! Wonder how they’ll handle infinity mode in this remake, maybe this time you can save and fast forward instead of waiting tediously for 14 hours

[@Ecdycis]

Hopefully we can see more, Infinity mode is terrible and I hope we get something better

[@mediawatcher9225]

@@Ecdycis yeah while I do see some complaining how it was made too easy, all I’ll say to them is do not act like infinity mode was in anyway enjoyable or properly implemented, it was a shit mode and I hated every second of it even back then, I’ll take anything to make the process faster or easier, or just a better mode entirely over that trash, I may love the game but there are so many elements that I despised

[@JudeofAwesometon]

I can't wait for a true Jeff rising mod.

[@rabrad3452]

The ONLY thing I'm really hoping for is some new modes. Randomizer, less time, harder zombies, etc. Just give me something new, please.

One can hope!

I would like my expectations to be set high, knowing how sequels worked out in the series I will keep it low for now

[@Ecdycis]

That was mostly 3 and 4

[@Prosody.Frisson]

@@Ecdycis devs sound sincere, it seems they understand what works- that’s one reason to be optimistic

[@Muddfeet64]

They changed the babyface butcher being Asian with the supermarket guy being Asian instead in this remake.

[@Ecdycis]

Steven looks the exact same Larry was changed

[@FlamesOnYt2]

I have to pre order to get a chuck green skin which depresses me

[@Ecdycis]

There's also the Bee

[@gfhhfgZ]

Hey I'm glad that you are looking forward to it, a lot of fans seems to prefer being too negative and overly critic for no good reason. The og game is still there, you can still buy it (pretty cheap as well), and even some of the "problems" can be changed by mods (someone is definitely putting TJ Rotolo back with a mod). If there is something I agree that I'm not a fan of, it's Larry. I get that they want to sell the game in China as well and having a character like that is not a good look, but like you said, you can still keep him chinese, just make him less offensive design wise. The irony of what happens to Carlito at the end with Larry is too strong to just throw it away like this, imo. And I know some people say that he still is chinese, but I really don't see it, maybe we need more footage of him. Still, I got the game and I can't wait, those stairs before the security room got me so hype when I saw them.

[@Ecdycis]

I’m praying on bad camera angle

[@neonfatum]

I'm very excited, but Frank's voice change does hurt. He also looks different and much older. I wouldn't say "ugly" lmao, just a middle-aged guy! He looks good! I get what they're going for. It makes sense and it's good, but yeah, it's just so different! I hope they don't try to make the game goofier than it originally was, cause it kinda felt that way initially in the trailer. DR1 is pretty dark, serious and atmospheric too. But I'm sure they'll keep it authentic. After all, the music seems to be the same too. Also, wow it's gonna be voiced in so many languages! That's super cool!

[@Ecdycis]

A healthy balance is nice

[@booce6969]

Do you think the game would be better or worse with a seamless mall? Every weapon only spawning once

[@Ecdycis]

I imagine there’s some degree of reloaded areas but it will be interesting to see what we can do. There’s probably some divide of locations

[@peacecraft9354]

Your income depends on the answer being no, so dismissive shilling is inevitable.

[@Ecdycis]

Actually trainwrecks tend to fare even better for me funny enough since I've played plenty of awful games already including - Gollum, Kong, The Crow, Walking Dead Destinies. If this is a trainwreck I'd be over the moon, I don't think it will be however I think it's going to be heavily modded by fans early to satiate the complaints they've been having

[@brobean6000]

I've been looking for this comment. My reason for unsubbing.

[@crypto40]

Should have done this with dead rising 1-2 into a bundle and you would have had guarantee sales regardless of peoples hesitation

[@Ecdycis]

This tests the waters so they don't spend double the effort if it bombs

[@badsie1]

Ecdycis, where do you think capcom will take the direction of the series after this release?

[@Ecdycis]

Likely Remaking 2 and moving from there

[@Richiefreshhh]

The Butcher is the exact reason everyone is going to be crushed.. the game is woke. You're all getting your hopes waaay too high. I'm not falling for it. The 06 Game is a Classic. Will never be re created.

[@Ecdycis]

Admittedly changing a single character doesn't ruin a whole game for me and it will be nice to have a new Dead Rising title in over 8 years

[@Kijinn]

Regarding Frank's looks, I certainly don't get why they made him older. Also, he looks a bit more likeable to me in the original version. New Frank seems a bit too generic...visually. I'd say they basically changed him to look more like his DR2:OTR and DR4 appearances...which is a bad idea, IMO.

[@Ecdycis]

He looks more like Beta Frank than the others by far. DR4 Frank was TOO good looking. The original intent of Frank has always been Ugly Bastard since he is the Anti Leon Kennedy

[@Kijinn]

@@Ecdycis Hm...my concern wouldn't be his handsomeness, though. I don't even think that remaster-Frank looks ugly. It would just be nice if his face actually resembled DR1-Frank's. Which isn't the case.

[@bloodmoonangel8925]

Nothing can be perceived to be even slightly racist in the year 2024

[@MegaTran1001]

Asian representation is seriously needed in all forms of media. The caricatured butcher from the original game is not a hill I want to die on lol. And it's not about looks. I have friends who look like Larry the butcher - the butcher however is a bad stereotyped caricature. Also Carlito being done in by a supposedly Caucasian American in the remake is tragically poignant because he was ultimately taking on the American meat industry.

[@Ecdycis]

I would hope that they could simply make a less racist looking Chinese character but I've heard from some of the comics that there are tensions with Chinese portrayal in Japan at the moment. Larry was easily one of my original favorite Psychos

[@MegaTran1001]

@Ecdycis the original is special. I never played anything like and even the sequel with Chuck was very good. But it wasn't the OG. I think as fans of the OG we keep things to dear when it's simply an attachment. I think this ("assume") white, large American butcher represents the Meat industry in the U.S is far more fitting. The consumption, excess and probable cruelty involved in the handling of these animals. That scene with Carlito and Frank in the aftermath of the Bucher fight might actually pull some strings emotionally.

[@AnAngryMonk]

RE2make Ada was recast for RE4make cause she was a union voice actor 29:06

[@Ecdycis]

The weird part is TJ Rotolo voiced William Birkin in 2019. He was originally not allowed in DR4 in 2016 for union work

[@richardtorruellas2370]

Do you think they will still have the glitches or will they use this chance to squash those bugs? I love some of the glitches you've used in your challenge runs. I had no idea about the bicycle trick.

[@Ecdycis]

Honestly it's tough to say, especially since BikeZip requires the use of loading the area. If it's seamless loading it might not work.

[@JoeyTakinawa]

Honestly should’ve kept the original voice clips lol

[@Ecdycis]

They likely redubbed EVERYTHING, it also seems like text may be voiced now too adding a bunch of VO

[@FMJ1400]

My only worry is TJ not being there

[@Ecdycis]

I’m hoping he gets some kind of role as a homage

[@FMJ1400]

@Ecdycis that would be the best case, having him be Kent would be funny

[@Anotheranimeaccountt]

Not looking forward to this remaster at all, its ruining a lot of what made Dead Rising 1 great like its challenging time management system, difficulty and story and is just exposing more shilltubers who are supporting capcom being greedy and going back and censoring and re releasing their old games but with way less content and detail then the original games and asking for triple A prices, Re3 and 4 remake are great examples of that, they both are inferior to the original game and completely censored and cut stuff from the game making them the worst way to experience 3&4 and the same thing is now happening to Dead Rising 1, also to the people who keep saying "the modders will fix it" you are part of the problem and reason why companies like Capcom do stuff like this stop supporting and making excuses for anti consumers behaviour regardless of what company

[@vinegar4556]

How is it ruining the time management and story, out of sheer curiosity? And changing the voice actors doesn't count as ruining the story.

[@killianaka]

Oh hell yeah, Frank got hit with the dilf-ify stick. Am stoked as hell for this game, ngl

[@Ecdycis]

Franks big package is horrifying

[@jaybee4288]

I think it’s cool for people who didn’t play the original or people who don’t take games so seriously. I think there’s a subsection of gamers who either are really against modern changes to games or are just so into dead rising that they aren’t going to like this regardless and honestly they may as well just skip buying it. I think it’s going to be fun and it’s a decent price. I’m expecting it to be nostalgia and not close to perfect and think it will meet that.

[@Ecdycis]

I’m hoping for good things

[@jaybee4288]

Me too. I think if expectations aren’t too high a lot of people will enjoy it, looks good!

[@ExtremeMan10]

Bar went low when I saw how they changed Larry and Jessica. Also Lifeseeker posted message this week claiming he wasnt contacted at all for this game, even his label production aint aware they will use his song. Same goes for Hostile Groovey as they are also out of the loop. Just hope they keep the combat as it was with its reward by knowing where to look and which items are good, while keeping the bosses like Adam or Cletus challenging.

[@Ecdycis]

Jesse's rack is the same I assure you, I think you are referring to Cheryl who is the woman in the black dress. For the songs they've tweeted on the official account all the original games songs will be returning meaning they probably already had permission to use them without the need of the artists.

[@ExtremeMan10]

@@Ecdycis No, Im talking about Jessica, check again, they nerfed her hard just like Ashley, now I wonder how they changed Kent quest considering his requirements. I have no problem with Cheryl considering how her "quest" to help you level up wasnt worth doing if you then later got 5k prestige points for defeating military. Also Capcom tweeting they have songs returning is nice, but Im concerned about the fact the composers arent mentioning anything apart from Lifeseeker. I havent heard any statement from groups like Lockjaw.
