Im starting to regret giving Burt a gun, honestly.
Thats a mannequin, Burt.
They cant hurt you.
Theyre actually known for not being able to move.
It felt like an anomaly.
If you’re new here, heres your orientation package.
Hes covered wars you know!
Its those three days - each two real-world hours long - that give Dead Rising its unique structure.
But if you want that scoop, youll need to follow your leads.
Youll complete cases step-by-step, each following a linear storyline throughout the Mall.
Some steps are immediately followed by the next, and some dont kick off until a fixed time later.
Youve often got time to wander off between steps and explore.
Maybe rescue a shop assistant whos been stuck behind a stack of cardboard boxes since before the outbreak?
you might NG+ over and over, carrying Franks experience and abilities to the new run.
Still, youll probably find that your level is less important than what youve learned as a player.
Double mini-chainsaws and several durability magazines, anyone?
Again, none of this is altered in Deluxe Remaster.
What is new, of course, are the visuals.
Some areas of the mall are completely reimagined.
It feels vaster, with new lighting drawing out both vibrancy and gloom.
Wild how I’m able to do this while still being thematic!
There are nine voiced languages, alongside 14 text options.
Conversations that were previously just text are now fully voiced.
The UI can be made to dynamically vanish.
Youll also be able to change Frank back to his original look and face, if you prefer it.
This isnt a default option though, so it could well be paid DLC.
According to some ratings bits, you should expect in-game purchases, although I couldnt access them.
It was entirely gendered and entirely vacuous, and the Remaster is better for its absence.
The experience points are literally called PP!
Its about celebrating something in public with other people who love something like you do.
Ultimately, that’s what the remaster is.
Nothing too daring, nothing too transformative.
Its Dead Rising but prettier and more palatable.
Less bumpy and, as a consequence, slightly less interesting.
It’s orange juice without the bits in.
Doin' Time without the melancholy.
There’s no less blood, but there is a little less pain.
Sometimes - like the hurt in a singers voice - pain makes something what it is.
The game frequently autosaves now, usually before story moments or as youre entering a new area.
The zombies can still kill Frank quickly if youre sloppy, but they cant hurtyouin the same way anymore.
I can get poetic about it, but it’s honestly fine.
Ive got emails finding me well and plants I could be watering.
I cant play stoned on the sofa for hours working on thatridiculous achievement, listening to 40 Oz.
To Freedom, replaying long sections because I died.
We all make concessions.
Franks got a new presence to him.
He feels weightier and more compliant, even as melee itself feels less sluggish.
Im excited for a whole new audience to get to sample such sweet revenge.
