"Wouldn't Be Exaggeration To Call It A Remake"

Story Highlight
  • Capcom recently revealed Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
  • The studio states this project is more of a remake, with many parts built from the ground up.
  • It utilizes the RE Engine and boasts much more enhanced visuals.

Capcom is the best developer when it comes to remakes. With remakes like Resident Evil 4 and 2 under its belt, this studio has set a new bar for re-releases. Such remakes have also sparked demand for a Dead Rising remake.

However, Capcom announced Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster last week, leading to some disappointment among fans who wanted the remake treatment for this series. Fortunately, the team confirms this is more of a remake than a remaster.

Why it matters: Dead Rising is an iconic game from nearly two decades ago that offers an unforgettable experience. Therefore, it deserves recognition among a modern audience.

The developer confirmed during Capcom Next that the announced remaster is basically a remake, so fans now have something to look forward to. For starters, this project is based on a completely different engine.

Capcom uses the same RE Engine for Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster that powers modern Resident Evil games, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and more.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this game a remake considering the amount of work that we put into it.

As for the changes, the zombies themselves look much better this time around. Capcom has also introduced real-time lighting and shadows, while gameplay elements like the controls and UI have been refined further.

Frank West can now move while aiming, while NPC interactions are fully voiced in the re-release. All in all, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has much more to offer than the name may suggest.

Dead Rising Remake Is No Longer A Dream

As for why Capcom refrains from using the remake term explicitly, it may be a case of sticking too closely to the original vision. Perhaps this is one of those remakes that attempt to focus on visual enhancements and quality-of-life changes over fundamental overhauls.

Nonetheless, fans will be glad to know that Dead Rising is back. The game now runs at 60FPS and arrives in just a few months on 18 September. It will also be priced below Capcom’s AAA releases, coming in at just $50.
