Dead Rising Triple Pack Reviews
The Dead Rising Triple Pack is a faithful adaptation of three classic games in Capcom’s Zombie survival series. The upgrade to 1080p and 60 frames per second will be welcome to folks who want to play using more modern console standards. The lack of new upgrades to the gameplay as well as the Case Zero and Case West DLC, however, is a bummer that makes the collection feel less complete. Still, if you loved the originals or missed out on them entirely, then this is another chance to play the games or see what the initial series is all about.
The most appealing part of Dead Rising‘s gameplay is that so many zombies can be on screen at once. Honestly, when Dead Rising first released back in 2007, it really was a game that showed off just how powerful that generation of consoles was going to be.
Remakes and re-polished games seem to be a trend this last little while but Capcom wisely chose to avoid those terms.
Last generations Dead Rising games have been ported to modern consoles in 1080p 60fps with DLC included and no other frills.
The Dead Rising Triple Pack represents the perfect opportunity to revisit this divisive series. While it's a bit disappointing to see only a cursory effort being invested into presentation improvements, it feels as if enough time has passed since the titles were originally released that series evangelists will enjoy returning to the zombie mayhem found in these faithful ports. Newcomers, however, must be warned that any enjoyment you find here may be regularly overrun by a shambling horde of questionable design decisions.
Enhancements have been kept to a minimum, but the games in this collection still shine with their unique locations, combat system and brand of comedy, even if some design decisions, such as manual saving, have divided its audience. The first game is still a classic, but the sequel, in both its versions, is the one to get. Dead Rising 2 Off the Record is the most content packed one, and thus the recommended choice.

Dead Rising Triple Pack collection stands the test of time with its performance and holds up incredibly well. Unfortunately, there are only so many ways to kill a zombie and zombie fatigue sets in sooner than expected.
The later games hold up well, but lack of polish in these remasters makes them a questionable buy.
If you haven't played any of the Dead Rising games before this is absolutely a great collection to pick up as you get three great games that provide hours of fun. If you have played these games before then you might not find any need to return to them as these are the exact same games that were released years ago except with updated visuals.
For most of its console-based career, the Dead Rising franchise has been a quirky experiment that mixes traditional zombie hijinks with meticulous, often frustrating gameplay mechanics.
Dead Rising HD Collection is a great experience for those wanting to get into the series before Dead Rising 4, unfortunately the Collection offers little more for fans of the series.
To celebrate its 10 year anniversary since the release of the first game, Capcom has released all three last gen Dead Rising games as a bundled collection. However, despite being somewhat a mixed bag of tricks, this collection is a fantastic way to get reacquainted with the series.
Each Dead Rising is an interesting experience on its own. While these three titles do in certain cases show their age, and don't really work as a collection as they are too similar to one another, individually they are all worth diving into as they are a lot of tense fun to play around with.
Fun gameplay that still holds up today, even if the graphics don't.
Overall, the Dead Rising Triple Pack is a vanilla porting of the three games, with not much added even in the visuals department. It’s disappointing and can be a bit steep of an asking price to revisit these games without any incentives such as commentary or developer diaries. If you’ve never played these games before, then go ahead and give it a shot. For long time fans of the series, however, it’s best you stick with your old copies and just play the new Dead Rising 4.
