An Old Xbox fan meets Xbox fan to discuss a revival of an old Xbox game.
What a thread.

Joking aside, hopefully we get a new remake that is faithful as RE remakes.

 

[DavidGzz]

I love the series and I don't care who knows it. I wonder if they will stay campy. Day One under current Capcom ESPECIALLY!

 

[Bridges]

Dead Rising is one of my all-time favorite series, but after 4 I can't help but be worried about anything new. If this is real then hopefully the devs understand what made 1 & 2 so special and don't try to turn it into generic horror/dynasty warriors like 3 & 4 were.

It should have a smaller environment, bring back the 3 day time limit, survivor escorting, psychopaths and co-op.

 

[Stare-Bear]

Xbox really is afraid to make a new IP…

 

[SEGA_2012]

Dead rising reboot by Modern Capcom ?
High chances of being SHIT !

 

[SeraphJan]

1&2 = good

3&4 = bad

 

[Captain Toad]

Meh. Doesn't seem worthwhile. I'd rather they had moved on to a new IP. I'm so sick of shooting zombies.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Xbox really is afraid to make a new IP…

You mean Capcom?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

The only great Dead Rising was the first one.

Honestly, just leave the franchise dead, and don't rise it anymore.

Spoiler

 

[gothmog]

Sure, why not? Hopefully its a bit more exciting than the first games. Bump up the zombie density and the combat mechanics and I could see it working.

 

[kiphalfton]

- Make the controls more tight
- Make everything a weapon
- Dial down the cringe psychos
- Improve survivor AI
- Fix save system

And MAYBE get rid of weapon crafting and the count down timer.

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

A dead rising game on the RE engine? Hopefully it's a mixture of 1,2 and 3.

 

[rofif]

Dead rising 1 is the only really good one and best zombie game. 2nd one is no longer Japan audio made. It’s good but not like the first one.

Zombies and huge mall can’t be beaten. Dawn of the dead is perfect

 

[kyussman]

Good to know,because if there is one thing the gaming industry needs right now it's more zombie games.....particularly ones from a franchise that has already worn itself out and shit the bed years ago.

 

[Represent.]

More serious tone like 1 and Im in.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Just make sure it's not by a Western studio who don't "get" it.

 

[March Climber]

If true...

 

[Adam_802]

Huge if its true. I've been wanting Capcom to reboot Dead Rising in-house in Japan for a while. And Capcom has really been firing on all cylinders lately so now's a great time.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Dead Rising 1 was sick. Id love a RE style remake.

 

[In Cold Blood]

It will be multiplatform as well I would assume.

 

[Marchizmo]

Dead Rising 1 Remake on RE engine

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

1&2 = good

3&4 = bad

Yeah 3 is not bad. Very playable and beatable on PC if u unlock it to 60fps

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

Dead Rising 1 Remake on RE engine

So it can look like a ps4 pro game ?

 

[Marchizmo]

Yeah 3 is not bad. Very playable and beatable on PC if u unlock it to 60fps

3 isn't bad at all it just starts to move away from what make DR1/2 so good.

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

3 isn't bad at all it just starts to move away from what make DR1/2 so good.

It’s different but still good and still dead rising and still has the wacky bosses and the great weapon combinations. Dead Rising should go back to inside the Mall.

 

[Punished Miku]

No time limit please.

 

[ReBurn]

Yeah 3 is not bad. Very playable and beatable on PC if u unlock it to 60fps

Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α was stupidly fun. I enjoyed that more than the base game.

 

[Codes 208]

Color me intrigued

- Make the controls more tight

I don't mean this to be a dick but this is exactly what killed the franchise in the first place

What you are talking about is not really Dead Rising anymore.

If you take away the timer you take away the essence of the game, and then you get Dead Rising 4, a mediocre open world action game.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

No time limit please.

Make it optional for those that like it

 

[lh032]

Xbox exclusive or PS exclusive this time?

 

[XXL]

1&2 = good

3&4 = bad

This. I would absolutely LOVE a complete remake of 1 and 2.

 

[Topher]

[Lasha]

No time limit please.

3 barely had a timer and 4 omitted one entirely. Neither game reached the popularity of the first two entries. The timer only matters if you want to go for the best ending. The core loop of DR is completing all the quests and getting the best ending within the time limit. The first two were very much arcade games where the challenge was finding a perfect run in the minimal amount of time and exp.

There's no penalty for ignoring the quests and dicking around for 6 hours. Your exp carries over to a new playthrough making DR like a souls game in the sense that the game becomes easier the more times you fail. Off the record added a sandbox mode with no story/timer and its own quests if that's your thing.

 

[MAtgS]

I would prefer DR5 to a reboot, but admittedly DR4 shit the bed pretty damn hard figuring out how to follow up on that wouldn't be easy.

 

[Soltype]

1&2 = good

3&4 = bad

Forgot there was even a 4.

 

[simpatico]

Dead Rising should have stuck with the realism graphics they were trying for with DR1. It made the oddball combat stand out even more. When they started trying to make it look a little zany beyond the organically zany combat, something was lost. I hope they go raw on the filters and allow us to pick up any item on the screen.

 

[MiguelItUp]

If it looks like it has potential, color me interested. I used to love the Dead Rising series SO much. But I'll save my hype until we see what it looks like.

 

[SALMORE]

i hope it's a new engine , i don't want that old janky , slow style of play ! also less comedy

 

[mrmustard]

Best launch game/systemseller of all times. That game was so fucking fun.

 

[GymWolf]

Meh, gimme a new dino crisis or onimusha instead.

 

[JimmyRustler]

No time limit please.

Nah. It gave the game a huge replayability as you had to decide what you’re going for at the start. If anything they should expand on that line of thinking. Meaning, more options to choose at the beginning as in the original it basically just boiled down to story/survivors/kill count.

 

[L*][*N*K]

Mission times needs to go, and either go very whimsy and funny or go serious , I hate in between stuff.

 

[NeverYouMind]

1&2 = good

3&4 = bad

No way. DR3 is amazing. It's ability to craft on the go, weapon variety, regular weapon utility, unarmed combat, open sandbox design, customisation, and speed make it hard to go back to DR2. The protagonist given the dialogue of a bitch ass simp is the only downside. I loved the seven deadly sins theme for psychos and the jokes. I also found the Nightmare timer challenging.

---

I hope this new game is not politically correct and takes place on a cruise ship. Also would not mind being able to throw/dismember enemies at will like Frank in the original. Would be cool to see some ideas from Dead Island cross over.

 

[Fart Knight]

Zombies are never getting out of play are they. I love Capcom but c'mon Id rather have them reboot Dino Crisis or a new Mega Man.

 

[xrnzaaas]

- Make the controls more tight
- Make everything a weapon
- Dial down the cringe psychos
- Improve survivor AI
- Fix save system

And MAYBE get rid of weapon crafting and the count down timer.

There was a survivor AI in the original game?

I don't think they'll keep the timer, because it would stress modern players too much. And I admit I was always among them in this case, I never enjoyed playing games that had me race against the clock, I prefer to explore locations at my own pace.

 

[zokie]

Dead Rising 3 is only exclusive to xbox on console , hope MS buy rights to the IP and save dead rising

 

[John Bilbo]

I just bought the first one a couple of days ago. I like the arcade feel of it. It is campy fun yet the characters are not written in a modern way, they take their situation in the world seriously as if their lives matter.

 

[DaGwaphics]

The first couple games were fun. Are these games really old enough to need a remake though?
