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

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.

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.

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?

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.

[@catoblepag]

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.

[@SUNDO_666]

The downside was the VA of Frank West in this deluxe remaster was not the same original VA of Frank West in the original classic DR1, and it looks like they changed the Chinese butcher villain into a white/American butcher in this deluxe remaster. plus the original Frank West DR1 classic look design with just high rendered graphics was just a skin and only available for pre order, the supposed design of Frank West like in the original was not suppose to be a skin but his default looks imo, not this new design with so much high hairline, Frank looks 10 times older in his new look design in this dead rising deluxe remaster..

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.

Overall promising, but I feel like the lighting could use improvement in some scenes. The scene showing Kent seemed oddly dark, but it could've just been the video.

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.

[@Ecdycis]

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. In addition to the ramp we've also seen: Durability meters Aiming while moving Built in TimeSkip Autosaves I'm sure we will be seeing more but it's looking promising from my end and having played each game for many many hours

[@BEDCORN]

RE3make low is a little dramatic lol, they arent cutting half the story

[@hvn_gng]

I think this comment is redundant. They haven't changed any of the original animations, I doubt they took away any features in combat just made it a little neater.

[@JC-tg6ex]

@@Ecdycis Until I play it, I'm going with how the animations of frank make him resemble DR3 instead of DR1. I certainly hope DR1 doesn't get delisted but it has happened more often than not when something new comes out and Capcom likes to follow trends instead of sticking to their guns. I fear we're in a repeat for the disaster of post* capcom 5 era again.

[@crispmcchicken]

​​@@JC-tg6exFrank wasn't in DR3 Oh you mean animation wise. Well, it is a new engine.

[@bcd32dok36]

I hope a sandbox mode like off the record will be in the game.

[@Ecdycis]

One can hope

[@CardyBoy]

My main issue right now is that the PC version has denuvo

[@Ecdycis]

Don't most Capcom games have that?

[@CardyBoy]

@@Ecdycis It's still something I don't like

[@nillk2168]

frank looks like a goblin. then again, new VA go along with this look

[@skizecraft]

I don't understand why they gave frank and Isabella premature grey hair XD. Like why did they age those two by like 20 years. They went from black hair to straight up grey

[@Ecdycis]

I don't mind that weirdly enough, I've had grey hair all my life funny enough and am a good few years under Franks age

[@TabiTheCat]

can we JUUUUUUUUUST enjoy the game when it comes out please

[@Ecdycis]

The video is positive and the first comment in the description answers the titles question

[@TheZombieburner]

....I like it. I'm excited for it.... I will probably buy and play it. But I will not pre-order. I.....Have learned to not do that. I'm not worried about it.....I just make it a point to never pre-order.

[@Ecdycis]

I will but considering my youtube... it makes sense

[@TheZombieburner]

@@Ecdycis Fair enough!

[@JudeofAwesometon]

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

[@Gungrave94]

Also, did they already say something about combining weapons? I know it wasn't a thing in the original but still it's a big thing in the Franchise

[@Ecdycis]

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.

[@ChadHellgado]

They are intentionally respecting the original gameplay while cleaning up the issues. Basically a rerelease of dead rising 1 for modern gen.

[@olimarfunk]

Combo weapons ruined the series tbh. Took away from the core and became the new core mechanic.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Ecdycis]

One can hope!

[@buckteethbandit4786]

Can't wait for Dead Rising's return. Best thing is it's back in Capcom Japan's studios! I absolutely love the lighting and reflections in the mall.

[@Ecdycis]

It looks great!

[@maverickrx8]

I'm honestly fucking hyped about this coming out! I love Dead Rising!

[@Ecdycis]

It should be exciting!

[@bobaorc7839]

4:08 It's Walter White where if instead of throwing the pizza on the roof, he ate the entire thing (and then his family)

[@Ecdycis]

You aren't wrong

[@chaosninja6410]

As long as they kept the mini chainsaws being OP I'll be ok.

[@Ecdycis]

One can dream

[@tyfellwind9398]

I'm just hoping they did a complete overhaul of the Survivor AI. Please Capcom....

[@Ecdycis]

At least a little bit

[@hvn_gng]

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

[@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

[@FlamesOnYt2]

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

[@Ecdycis]

There's also the Bee

[@Cianms2k10]

Fingers crossed this hits hard and it leads to capcom giving us another new game

[@Ecdycis]

One can dream

[@Cianms2k10]

@Ecdycis loving the dead rising challenges dude your stream VODs are all I'm watching atm whilst simultaneously playing through the games myself

[@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.

[@mikehunt905]

Frank looks awful and they replaced my favorite Asian butcher >:(

[@Ecdycis]

Frank was meant to look awful, it's closer to Beta Frank

[@mikehunt905]

@@Ecdycis geez I didn’t know they were remaking the beta and not the retail smh

[@Ecdycis]

You'd probably also be upset with the additional zombie models and seemingly beta weapons that are in the promo art. Franks whole start was the Anti Leon, it's nice to see the original vision come back stronger.

[@90west11]

It doesn't look like they put a ton of effort into it, but it'll probably still be the best way to play the game. This game was one of reasons why I bought a 360 back in the day.

[@Ecdycis]

It looks pretty banging

[@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

[@Theeubernoob]

On a scale of we're not back to we're back, we are *so* back

[@Ecdycis]

SO BACK

[@BobbyG716]

Wish they at least had brought back the original voice actor that played Frank West TJ Rotolo.

[@Ecdycis]

It would be nice but Capcom seems to be replacing all their OG voice actors as we've seen in the RE Remakes

[@reviewpanda3125]

I actually think Frank's design is more based on his Marvel Vs Capcom appearance. Also, Larry might still be Asian, just not as visually apparent. I hope so, it made perfect sense for his character.

[@Ecdycis]

I'm really hoping it's a camera diff

[@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

[@maxdeadbear]

If the mods are anything like the resident evil games with the RE engine We are not prepared to see every character's "meat"

[@Ecdycis]

Franks big package is horrifying

[@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

[@TheGhost20978]

We need Jeff Rising Deluxe Remaster now 😅

[@Ecdycis]

Damn right

[@Whereis509]

There isn’t a limit on how many survivors you can have in your party now, so with that being said. Can you beat dead rising with all survivors in the mall 👀

[@Ecdycis]

So I have a video coming up soonish that plays around with this idea a bit

[@mat2___]

Man cant wait for ecdycis to speedrun dead rising and dead rising dr at the same time

11:32 he killed 100 zombies and got 3k pp I hope they didn’t up the pp a lot cuz I always liked that it kinda wants u to play again to get max level

You can get a solid amount of PP in one playthrough, albeit you'd mainly want to net Survivors, Bosses, and Cultists

[@HexDandy]

Hopefully we got a sandbox mode like in Off the record

[@Ecdycis]

I'm excited to see

[@sntjana9348]

Any plans on doing a speedrun of the new deluxe mod for clock tower?

When the game releases sure, it's a part of that

[@_Checkmang]

13:53 as a fellow man of culture, I will also be playing dead rising.

[@Ecdycis]

Ayyyy

[@olimarfunk]

Im okay with the Larry change because it actually reinforces Carlito’s feelings. He gets killed by what he hates the most.

[@Ecdycis]

While that is true the irony of Larry, a Chinese Immigrant who sought the American Dream in meat, ultimately being the end of Carlito speaks VOLUMES to me

[@cantnevercould9660]

But it twists the knife when he's killed by another immigrant who has been enamored by American values.

[@Ploobie86]

I think he's still Chinese. His name is still Chiang after all.
