Do you fondly remember coming home from school in 2006, sitting down with your Xbox 360 controller in hand, and attempting to save a few survivors in the original Dead Rising? I was starting high school, and games like Dead Rising helped make those early days bearable. But here we are, nearly two decades later, with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Here is everything we know about Dead Rising Deluxe remaster!
What is Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, as its name suggests, is a full-blown remaster of the original story of Frank West and the Willamette shopping mall overrun by zombies. As a photojournalist, you’ll infiltrate the mall in search of a story but stay to help uncover the mystery of the zombie apocalypse and help save as many survivors as possible.
But that’s the more serious aspect of the game. While in the mall, you can dress up in whacky outfits, including cocktail dresses and lego-like helmets, wield outrageous weapons, and snap photos of obscene situations to earn PP, which allows you to level up your skills and become a more formidable survivor.
This version of the game features brand-new controls, better graphics, quality-of-life tweaks, and new achievements to unlock!
