Dead Rising Deluxe Remasteris perhaps the most appropriate title for this updated version of the 2006 classic.
Its not a wholesale re-imagining as weve seen from the recentResident Evilremakes.
Nor is it a quick n dirty remaster developed solely to make a quick buck.
And so far, its pretty glorious.
I’ll be Frank
Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterputs you in the shoes of freelance photojournalist Frank West.
The remaster features entirely redone animations and voice acting.
Franks personality, especially, has been recaptured perfectly here.
Hes initially willing to roll with the absurdity of the situation to get to get his big scoop.
As such, he often comes across as a slick-talking sleazeball.
The most important thing is that the mall feels exactly like what its supposed to be.
Every store in the game can be entered and all feature appropriate items.
Frank can even blend certain food items together to make stat-boosting concoctions.
Now, Frank is a photojournalist, so that camera around his neck isnt just for show.
Snapping photographs will earn Frank a score based on the quality and context of the picture.
Pictures can also be assigned Horror, Drama, or Comedy categories based on their content.
That score is then converted into Prestige Points (PP for short) which allow Frank to level up.
And while theres certainly room to muck about, the strict time limit is there for a reason.
For one, survivor AI has been improved.
Unfortunately, survivors still have a tendency to sometimes act against their own best interests.
This can lead to a lot of hopping between loading screens just to get them to catch up.
