Remember the time when successful franchises got new installments instead of just remasters?

MODERATORS
They tried that and made one good but derivative game and two awful games. Capcom has no idea where to take the franchise, that’s why they farmed it out after DR1 to a company that got so sick of only making Dead Rising games that they basically built something completely different behind Capcom’s back and then shut down because Capcom didn’t want it.
I’m way more excited for this. It’s better to start at the only original game in the franchise, excise the “early 360 era” horrible controls, and remind a generation why they liked it in the first place when most only have vague memories of it.
Then, another develop might actually want to take a crack at it or will bring Capcom a good pitch.
This was my hole... reason for checking the comments
Big fan of Dead Rising but a second remake seems completely redundant. Especially since they've changed the voice actor of Frank, which absolutely didn't need changing, and updated the graphics but left the very janky controls intact and the animations exactly the same?
Pointless cash grab. I'll go back to my copy of the original any time I get the itch rather than reach for this.
This game is the reason I bought an Xbox 360. I'm very curious if they'll add/change stuff or if this will be a 1:1 remaster.
From the excerpts in the trailer it looks like they've only updated the graphics. Too bad because I always thought the controls were shoddy af and ruined the fun
Looks like it'll be very similar, the voice actor change for Frank and the character models really throw me off though.
Oh my goodness. Thank you for pointing out the different VA. I knew something felt off, moreso than the new character models.
Also, I can't help but feel like the updated Frank wandered out of the basement tier of fighters from a Street Fighter title. I feel like he should be chubbier and ruddier. I can't speak for the direction they took the character in later installments but he always felt like kind of a goober schmuck whose "instincts" finally paid off. I like that characterization, especially in light of the game's satire of clueless Americans.
I'll keep an eye on this one. I never did get that achievement for killing the 53,000 zombies in a playthrough...
The original is on steam now if you didn't already know. I still love the original, I feel like the sequels kind of lost something and I'm a bit afraid this remake might have the same problem. It's fine either way, the original will always be there, but I would have loved something more in line with the original.
