The announcement of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster It came as a surprise to many, as Capcom decided to give this 2006 zombie classic a more in-depth treatment, using the wonderful RE Engine to improve both the graphics and performance. Although they call it a “remastering“, this title feels more like a remake due to the total visual renovation: Environments, characters, and zombies have been completely remade, delivering a modern experience with 4K resolution and extensive improvements noticeable in lighting and textures.
Love for the genre and respect for the work of the master George A. Romero It is palpable from the first stages of the adventure. Dead Rising and ‘Dawn of the Dead‘ (both the original 1978 version by Romero, and the remake de Zack Snyder from 2004) share several similarities due to their themes and settings. The most notable is their criticism of consumerismIn both films, zombies instinctively return to the mall, which is interpreted as a satire of society’s consumerist behavior. Dead Rising also plays with this idea, with zombies wandering around an environment filled with brands, bright lights, and commercial products.
If you played the 2006 version, it will make you feel right at home.
Gameplay-wise, it retains the essence of the original. If you played the 2006 version, the original, it will make you feel right at home. You still control Frank West, a photojournalist trapped in a zombie-filled mall in the city of Willamette, Colorado, with the task of surviving 72 hours. His mission will not be easy, as he will have to discover the origin of the outbreak and rescue as many survivors as he can. The basic mechanics have not changed: go into the shops, use practically any object as a weapon and continue this comic horror thriller. Time remains a crucial factor that adds tension to the game. However, important improvements have been added such as autosave, something that makes the game easier, eliminating the frustration of losing a lot of progress, although perhaps some more purist players may see it as a reduction in difficulty.

Survivor AI has also been improved, making them less likely to get stuck or trapped by zombies. Additionally, the option to move while shooting has been added, making combat more fluid and adding a bit more speed to the experience. Other new features include a revamped camera system, which now allows for adjusting tilt, brightness and focus, improving the experience of taking photos to earn experience points.
The game also offers a more accessible experience for new players, although it remains a challenging game, especially in endless mode, where the goal is to survive as long as possible. With its new gameplay, technical improvements and added elements, it is a highly recommended version for veterans and newcomers who want to enjoy one of the zombie classics most loved by the gaming community.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster takes a game that already stood out for its many qualities and improves on most of the points that had been criticized. It does so without sacrificing the essence and personality that made the original title unique. This remastered version not only offers the best way to enjoy Dead Rising, but it is also an excellent gateway for those new to the franchise.
