Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Reviews
The content cuts are disappointing and censorship is inexcusable, yet the core of Dead Rising is still appealing. This is fine if you’re a child who is getting used to gaming. The overhauled visuals and low bar to entry make it easy for kids and grandma to get into. There is not a lot for fans of the original. Unfortunately, the non-deluxe classic Dead Rising is still the definitive experience.
Frank West is back with his camera. The reporter playing the liberator once again draws attention to himself. The game tempts with the number of corpses to finish. However, it scares with the monotony of the gameplay.

If you enjoy blowing up zombies en masse then the Dead Rising franchise is made for you, and the Deluxe Remaster edition is just much, much better looking. It may not be for everybody, but it's a must-buy for its target audience.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is easily the most accessible and enjoyable version of the game to date. It retains the same basic feel but adds an extra layer of polish to everything. The game's still as wacky and enjoyable as it ever was, but with less frustration and annoyance. There are a couple of areas that perhaps went a bit too far, but by and large, the development team has just created a more fun version of the original. If you're a fan of Dead Rising or want to smash some zombies, Capcom's other zombie franchise has you covered.
A very well executed remaster, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster doesn't completely change the vanilla experience, but it improves enough to give fans the best version of Frank's debut outing.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the triumphant return of one of the best zombie games of all time. While the survivor missions and psychopath battles could have been improved, this is, without a doubt, the best version of Capcom's classic thanks to its updated graphics and gameplay enhancements. A must for new players and veteran fans alike.

Without a doubt, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is a fun and enjoyable game that delivers a unique story with lovely characters. Despite its strengths, some problems such as poor AI and low variety of side activities prevent this game from reaching its potential.

While the changes are minimal, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s shambling undead have never looked better. Fans of the original and newcomers alike will find plenty of zombie-slaying fun.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is a valuable game—a work that reflects Capcom’s eagerness to revive one of its classic series. With graphical improvements that resemble a thorough remake rather than just a remaster and the reintroduction of the fluid gameplay we expect from the Dead Rising series, this work transforms into a worthwhile “remaster.”

Dead Rising shows that it still has style after all these years. Especially the hordes of zombies and killing them is timeless and still fits today. Some of the graphical improvements are nice, but other things aren't as polished, and it's a shame that the gameplay hasn't been touched up and some outdated elements tweaked.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is, for all intents and purposes, the same consistent and fun game as always, with several great quality-of-life improvements and eye-catching, revamped visuals. Even reheated, it remains a recommended classic for old and new fans of good old zombie carnage.

An ok remaster of a trailblazing classic. Still a gem of a game, only one that lost some of its luster and hasn't been polished enough.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is something I can recommend for those who haven't yet played the original and for those who really loved it and want to experience it again with the RE Engine. There's no question that it's fun but with its most notable feature being the updated visuals it really is just the old game with a fresh coat of paint.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is the sort of game that becomes better the more you play it so if this is your first time playing it or you haven't played it for years, bring plenty of patience with you and you'll end up having a phenomenal trip to the mall. 🧟
A remaster that borders on being a remake and a game that has changed very little mark the return of Dead Rising to the spotlight.

Capcom has taken one of the most iconic games of previous generations. Then put it in a mixing bowl with hi-res graphics, beautiful textures and impressive voice acting. Then they have baked that in the oven for around 8 years. What we are left with is a great renewal of life to the old classic. The beautiful Re Engine creates some great visuals, increasing immersion and making Frank look incredible! Thankfully with all the fancying up of the game, it hasn’t lost its fun factor. Fighting zombies with a kid’s foam sword has never been so much fun!
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster mostly stays true to the original, for better or worse. While some improvements have been made to AI pathfinding, visuals, and quality of life, a couple of 20-year-old relics remain. For old players, this might fuel their nostalgia; for newer players to the series, it might just prove a little frustrating. Regardless, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is not a game to be taken seriously, and if you can sit back and laugh with it, you'll have a good time. Performance on the Steam Deck isn't the best, but it's to be expected when you're dealing with large amounts of AI, given the Steam Deck's weaker CPU. Although we can occasionally see dips into the 20s, most of the game runs at 30 FPS, and you can play from start to finish on the Steam Deck and still have a good time. Controller support is also excellent.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster didn't need to be a remake, nor did it need to drastically update its mechanics. The game itself stands on its unique game design and becomes a great way to see the generational transition from the time of its original release and how it really is a game full of living dead ideas, which in one way or another are in the form of mechanics torn apart by the entire industry.

I legitimately hated a lot of my time with it. But, man, I do hope that a proper new instalment is in the works because I can absolutely see how this could be gloriously delirious fun.
Capcom managed to revive the franchise after countless mistakes in the past. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the definitive version of the 2006 title and replaces it in a very faithful way and considering the necessary improvements to be in line with the current reality of the industry. Some bugs that were also in the original title are still evident and the change of some characters may lead many people to turn up their noses about this remastered, but we believe that it is not something crucial for us to have an extraordinary experience playing this masterpiece. Let's hope that Capcom decides to do the same with the second title in the series, and who knows, launch the third for Sony consoles! Here's a tip!
