Guess who’s back again… It’s Frank… Frank West. Capcom has announcedDead Rising Deluxe Remastered, which is an updated version of the 2006 title for modern consoles, with a look at what is in store (or in this case, stores) for longtime fans. Bringing a classic such asDead Risingback from the deadis exciting to see, since the franchise is known for its sandbox-style gameplay. Given the advancements in technology since the Xbox 360, it will be exciting to see how the gameplay looks and feels when more information comes out on it.
Take a picture, it’ll last longer
As shown in the trailer,Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterbrings us back to the shopping mall with our famed freelance photojournalist, Frank West. Looking for his next big scoop, he goes to the mall to learn more about the strange events going on inside. As you may have already guessed, zombies have infested the place, with only a few survivors still alive, leaving Frank up to the task of rescuing them. One quirk of the series is its bosses, who are typically violent psychopaths who are quite the characters themselves.
TheDead Risingseries’ last main installment was in 2016, with the release ofDead Rising 4, which brought back Frank West. The game was met with mixed reviews, with the overall quality and slight technical problems being the main complaints. Frank West has been a well-known staple of theDead Risingfranchise, with his rough and gritty character being at the forefront of this zombie-infested series. He has even made appearances in otherDead Risingtitles and inMarvel vs. Capcom 3.
Review: Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package
Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package does what a proper re-release should, packaging the base game together with all DLC and a smidgen of exciting new content.
Dead Risinghas also been brought to the TV screens with the 2015 action film,Dead Rising: Watchtowerand 2016’sDead Rising: Endgame. While aDead Risingmovie hasn’t been brought to the big screen yet, there isn’t much doubt about its potential if that were to be done in the future, given the rise in video game adaptations. At the moment, however, bringing a remastered version to the next generation of consoles is good enough. With its brand-new look, fans will surely be anxious to drop back into the hordes of zombies in the small town of Willamette, Colorado.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remasteredlooks to be released this year for the new generation of consoles, but details on that haven’t been announced yet. But one thing’s for sure, it’s not business as usual in this town…
