Capcom is the nosy company in town. The studio ran a poll asking players what they wanted after the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. It’s kind of like the time it asked if you wanted more Resident Evil remakes, or when it asked if you wanted the Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLC, or when it asked if you wanted more Ace Attorney, or when it asked if you wanted more Resident Evil remakes (2020).
In a group of Questions posted online (via In GCCapcom asked fans what they thought of the Dead Rising 1 remaster it released last week. But in between all the questions about what exact aspect of the remaster — whether it was Frank West’s hyper-detailed face or the new 3D audio — enticed players to buy the game in the first place, the company is also keen to know if you might be tempted to buy another game under the “deluxe remaster” label it invented out of thin air.
Capcom asks players to respond to a question that says, “Would you like to see more ‘deluxe remasters’ like this in the future?” (“Deluxe remaster” is defined as a remaster with improved gameplay and updated graphics (including new 3D models).”) You can respond that you’d like to see more deluxe offerings, that you prefer full remixes, that you prefer “a simple remaster (with improved resolution to meet current hardware standards),” or that you don’t want any kind of remaster of anything.
If you say you He was Like more deluxe remakes, Capcom keeps asking which of its series you want to get your own version of. Your options are Dino Crisis, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry, Power Stone, Resident Evil, Onimusha, Darkstalkers, or Okami. If you’re not tempted to pick Resident Evil just because it’s so funny, then you and I are two very different people.
Capcom has been seeing a lot of success lately, in part because of the overwhelmingly positive reception fans and newcomers have received for games like Resident Evil remakes. On the one hand, I guess I can’t blame them for coming up with new types of remakes in order to continue to ride that momentum, but it probably seems a bit cheap creatively to create a half-step between remake and remaster that allows you to charge players for a game you’ve never released. actually The game was remastered with the door open for a full remake at a later date.
However, the company also wants to know what you want them to do with Dead Rising specifically, giving you the option to request a deluxe remake of Dead Rising 2, Off The Record, 3, or 4, as well as a full remake of “one of the games in the Dead Rising series” or even “a brand new Dead Rising game.” Despite everything I just said, I wouldn’t mind a DR2 remake, but only because the original is too hard to run on my PC for whatever reason. I think what I really want is a Dead Rising 2 patch.
