Key things
- Dead Rising is finally back in action thanks to the recently released Deluxe Remaster.
- It seems that Capcom is interested in expanding the rest of the series in a similar fashion, as an official poll asks fans what game they want to get as the next Deluxe Remaster.
- The survey also asks if fans would rather have complete remakes of games instead of upgrading in the meantime.
Capcom has shared a poll asking Dead Rising fans which game in the series they'd like to see get another “Deluxe Remaster” treatment, which surprisingly includes Dead Rising 4.
There was a time when Dead Rising fans thought they would never see the series again and that Capcom would only focus on Resident Evil as their main zombie game. With the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster earlier this week, that time has finally passed and it looks like the series could be back for good.
Capcom has already expressed in recent interviews that they are interested in expanding the series and potentially having more “Deluxe Remasters”, and it looks like that might actually happen eventually. As pointed out by Redditor Wonderful_Mud5363 on the Dead Rising subreddit, Capcom sent out a poll after the release of the Deluxe Remaster asking fans what they want to see next.
The survey includes a series of questions about the marketing of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and how players learned about it, as well as more specific details about the content of the remake, including what they liked the most and even what their favorite costume is. Finally, the survey asks fans if they would like to see more Deluxe Remasters in the future.
The survey actually mentions a bunch of different Capcom franchises that could be getting Deluxe Remasters, including Dino Crisis, Onimusha, Power Stone, and Lost Planet. Capcom clearly sees the future with these releases.
Finally, the survey asks players which Dead Rising game in the series they would most like to see in a Deluxe Remaster, including Dead Rising 2, Off The Record, Dead Rising 3, and the most surprising of all, Dead Rising 4. This suggests that all of these options are possible, although there is also the option for a completely new game in the series or a complete remake like the Resident Evil games.
While this research doesn't necessarily mean that any of the other Dead Rising games will get the Deluxe Remaster treatment, it does indicate that Capcom is seeing it as a possibility and considering it for the series. Considering how many fans want Dead Rising 2 to get more improvements, this is a very positive development that opens things up considerably.
