Capcom takes us back to the mall par excellence of Willamette with this new reissue entitled Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Although I have to say that its name itself is a bit misleading. But this time for the better, at least, Graphically it’s more of a remake than a remaster. So, if from the beginning it comes to our eyes, Does everything else live up to your original work? Find out in the analysis below.
To achieve this analysisI played Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster on an Xbox Series (without graphics mode selector).
Frank returns (again) to Willamette, where everything remains virtually the same but at the same time, it’s different.
As if the years had not passed, we feel that Coming back to Willamette is something special. It has already happened with Undead 4 in which we could visit the city, in addition to its highly coveted shopping center. But here, in this first title released in 2006We are visiting this shopping center for the first time, from which we will never be able to leave. Its principle is simple at first, but soon we find ourselves involved in something bigger than we could ever expect. We found ourselves on the roof of this superstore with the promise that, 72 hours Then they will come back to pick us up by helicopter.
The goal is to to photographically document what is happening in this city. Which is nothing more than a microphone. zombie apocalypse. Nobody knows anything about it (except the US government) and the inhabitants themselves who suffer from this epidemic. Already in the mall occurs the beginning of our personal story, in which we will have to weave a series of cases to discover the whole truth
This constant time trial is identity sign of the saga, which with the exception of its last opus (very criticized for the same reason), all have the Limited time to complete your main and side missions. These 72 hours do not pass in real time, so it will progress even faster than we could wish. Here the video game leaves us to our free willSo it is up to us to decide at any time what we should do. This means that we may miss some events, causing Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster to be even more rejuvenable if possible.
In Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster we will be surrounded by an incalculable number of zombies that we will face using our brute force
If the 2006 delivery already had a exaggerated number of zombies on screen (as well as its remaster), This Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster There is no shortage of them. We see such a high number of zombies that even if we eliminate a few, Photo (the camera will give us experience points), it will take a long time to count the number that appears on the screen. It is true that they are zombies that walk, not run. Good, because if they become the ones running, we would be eliminated in the first second. However, they will pounce on us at the first opportunity. So we will have to to constantly face them.
There is a a large number of objects that we can use to eliminate our enemies. From the golf club to the water gun (to give an example). Almost all items located in this shopping center can be used
Although killing zombies in a thousand possible ways seems really satisfying to us, the passage of time and its consequences have made it fall a little behind in this section. Come on, it’s still just as fun (and more) than in the past, but we miss creating weapons. Despite this, as we mentioned before, we will have a very high number of knives, firearms, etc. This nostalgia will soon pass. Guns are the worst at the controls, it might have been nice to modernize or refine the shooting.
But without a doubt, the strong point of this title is not the combat, the exploration, the constant time trial… but psychopaths. These, now commendably recreated, are still among the best that can be found today as final bosses in a video game. Not because of the way to face them (which, here, the title seems old), but because of the a charisma that overflows each of themThe motive that makes them what they are is totally crazy and their satire makes them anachronistic characters for the time.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Visually it looks spectacular and now we have the dubbing in our language
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster It has a multitude of virtues, improving most of the aspects that might seem outdated today. But without a doubt, The graphics aspect has changed considerably with the new graphics engine. Everything has been redesigned from scratch, making the game more enjoyable. creepy than ever. The modeling of zombies, survivors and especially the protagonists of the main story has a high level of detail. The scenarios feature a large number of textures and, at least in Xbox Series X, everything works very well.
Regarding the audio, this time Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster arrives localized in voice in our languagewith a fairly high level. Yes, it is true that Frank’s voice It loses a bit of that hooligan touch it had in its original version, although that doesn’t mean it’s not up to par. Additional sound effects could have been addedbecause on several occasions we find a silence that is only interrupted by the shocking noise of zombies.
Conclusion
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster puts us in the shoes of Frank at the Willamette Mall. Polishing the aspects that could have aged worse and above all, look with the new graphics engine with a look much closer to a remake than a remaster. Destroying zombies in a thousand different ways is still as much fun as ever.even if the possibilities offered by its sequels are missed. In any case, this cult title comes back fresher than ever for the current generation, and if you weren’t able to play the original title or its later remaster, this is the best way to do it, Let’s see if you can escape this zombie nightmare in time!
