Thoughts on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster | We Are So Back?

It kinda sucks Chuck never became as Popular as Frank. I love Chuck because most other dads in videos game are just out for Revenge after the Family is already dead, being as self destructive as possible in the process, but Chuck's daughter is still around, and his motivation in the story is to just Clear his name because he knew no one else would care about his Daughter like he does. in a world of madness and greed, he's just trying to protect what he loves most, and Part of that is living to fight another day for the sake of his Daughter.

Christ! Can't believe Dead Rising 4 was released in 2016 I still remember how excited I was for that abomination

Now here's a couple of theories I have on the re casting 1.) They might record dialog for Survival missions so it isn't just reading 2.) Some of the actors might not be available to get anymore either do to them being busy, them being gone from the face of the earth, or too old to do the voice given this is like almost 20 years 3.) Others have said union reasons

As long as Frank isn't quipping like a great value Deadpool then hopefully the game should be fine as long as it's not mechanically fucked

Personally, I feel that deluxe remaster is capcom's way of not only rebooting the franchise, but doing their own sequels to DR. Like not a full-on Dead Rising 2 remake, but their own Chuck Green game or something.

The stairs next to the saferoom vent on the roof are more than anyone could hope for in a remaster that says it's sticking to its roots.

Just gonna say, I really like Chuck. Nick is... inoffensive. But Chuck is cool. I'll cop to the fact that I was confused when DR2 originally came along. Why not follow Frank? But I came to love that Capcom was not leaning into the fan favorite character and instead fleshing out the world of Dead Rising with each new game having its own voice and its own character to lead you through its adventure. Good stuff, up until 4 obviously.

Been watching you and your dead rising retrospectives since I was 14 I’m 20 now. Thanks for the content man.

in fighting games those "impact stops" are usually called hitstop, I've been using that to describe it

The impact stop is pretty annoying on higher frame rates, so I’m glad they removed it

16:47 I'm not 100% agree on you on that in particular, Ghenry. Yes, Nick Ramos is probably the only protagonist that nobody from the OG fans since Dead Rising 1 care about, along with "Hank East" from Dead Rising 4. But Chuck Greene despite that he doesn't have the same level of love from the fans as Frank West, he is still a very well-known protagonist and with a good amount of love by the Dead Rising community. For instance, in the actual last game made by Capcom Vancouver, Puzzle Fighter (NOT Dead Rising 4), a part of adding the DR1 Frank West between many classic Capcom characters, they also added Chuck Greene, but not Nick Ramos. So even Capcom Vancouver on its last days, they knew that people still like also the character of Chuck Greene, but not Nick Ramos. Capcom Japan also knows about it; they even added Chuck Greene's outfit for Frank West in the Deluxe Remastered if you pre-order the game. And if it wasn't enough, Peter Flemming (Chuck's voice actor) even made some recent appearances and cameos in some Youtube channels like Kyle Evan and even on STiP0's channel once, being the voice actor pretty active to the Dead Rising community, even after all years since he finished his role of Chuck Greene.

as someone who’s been playing dead rising since I was in 4th grade back in 2006. I honestly can’t wait for this game! I can forgive the voice changes as long as frank isn’t a one liner spewing quip machine and I heard that they’re bringing back the games original licensed soundtrack. You can also use Frank’s original 2006 design when you preorder the game. I genuinely hope this game isn’t a flop

12:03 DUDE, Adam D. Clark was also in DMC3 where he technically voices two characters at once, and he was EXCELLENT in it, and I'm ashamed to admit that I've never recognized him

This has been an insane pipe dream for me for so long. It's insane to think they would go back and remake/remaster DR before a DMC game, or something similar.

9:57 The zombie variety is increased partially because they are actually adding zombie models cut from the beta and early builds of Dead Rising. That's a great sign honestly, means people on the dev team are combing over alot of the resources avaiable to them. Hopefully this game is great and well received despite the changes because Dead Rising is truly special and it deserves to come back strong.

A thing that's been staying in my mind is that youtuber STIP0 pointed out how some of the zombie models in the footage so far are actually calling upon unused designs that were last seen in previews & old builds of the game. Him saying that struck me because it made me realise that Frank's face actually resembles the cartoony approach his model had in the first ever trailer they showed for the original game combined with his appearance in DR2. Stuff like this makes me believe that the "Deluxe Remaster" title might refer to them bringing back cut content from the game maybe? idk. I do definitely agree the original's style was perfect. While I'm glad they'll at least let you use the original model of Frank NO DLC recuired (the quality of which we need to see fully but still) there's something about the played up voice acting and the swinging music that's just not doing it for me. The thing that makes me think about DR1 after so long is the shlubiness as you called it, like Frank was kinda boring in a good way, he was more likely to come off as rude than witty, like he actually took his job and the situation seriously! It made encountering the insane shit happening more striking because you're always in the shoes of a normal person who found themselves in something much more crazy than they thought was happening. Obviously, that could just be marketing going in a completely direction than what the actual game is like, it's happened before! I'm still hopeful for this, especially with the quality of life stuff. Capcom's been doing pretty formidably recently, especially with their remakes. I'll definitely be picking this up if reviews are good.

I hope that this game sells well enough to inspire an actual Dead Rising sequel like Dead Rising 2

There is no way impact stops were intended. It always felt like my playstation was dying each time it happened. I hope it was not intended.

I remember finding your channel when you had just made your developing deception vid on DR4, takes me back to see you talk about this series again

8:49 I agree with you on that, Ghenry. The zombie quantity and quality from the original Dead Rising 1 were already awesome, even back in 2006. Man, I even have the trucker zombie from the introduction as my avatar for my YouTube channel talking about Dead Rising 1 & 2 on Spanish, because of how cool and terrifying was that zombie in particular, along with many others.
