Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster brings back the chaos of the original 2006 zombie action game, now rebuilt in the RE Engine. Players step once again into the shoes of Frank West, a photojournalist stuck in a quarantined mall in Willamette, Colorado. The catch? He has 72 in-game hours to uncover the truth behind the outbreak. Sounds manageable, right? Well, when the mall is crawling with thousands of zombies and the occasional psychopath, time suddenly feels short.

What is Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?

This is more than just a facelift. Compared to the original Dead Rising, the remaster introduces modern visuals, a smoother interface, and full voice acting. The mall itself feels alive (or undead), packed with survivors, dangers, and random items waiting to become weapons. It’s the same sandbox chaos fans loved, but polished for today’s hardware.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Players experience the action from a third-person perspective. The game encourages creativity – almost anything can be used as a weapon. Baseball bats, shopping carts, even silly items like toys or mannequins. Lesson learned: always carry a spare sword… or at least a frying pan.

• Time pressure – The 72-hour clock shapes every decision. Rescue survivors or chase the story? Your call.
• Improvised combat – From firearms to garden tools, everything can be turned into a weapon.
• Photojournalism system – Take photos of the chaos to earn Prestige Points and level up.
• Survivors and psychopaths – Not every human is friendly. Some are even scarier than the zombies.

What’s New?

The remaster runs on Capcom’s RE Engine, the same tech powering modern Resident Evil titles. Expect improved lighting, textures, and facial animations. Quality-of-life updates include auto-saving, revamped controls, and better UI. For the first time, the entire game is fully voiced, making the story more engaging than ever.

Why Play It?

It’s a rare mix of survival horror and sandbox freedom. Do you focus on the story, dress Frank in absurd outfits, or just test how many zombies you can take down with a lawnmower? There’s no wrong way to play. And with multiple endings tied to your actions, replay value is built in. Need a challenge? You got it.
