This brings me back to my Xbox 360 days. Dead Rising was one of my favourites. This remake--oh sorry, *remaster*, falls short in comparison. The biggest issue is the bugs. Not the Queens, I mean the technical bugs that have locked me out of certain side quests. Yeah, those ones. This game is poorly optimized too. Get ready to play on low settings with your high-end PC!

Aside from the upgraded graphics, there's nothing to justify this remake. Everything else is either the same or worse. One example is Frank's redesign making him look like a 56-year-old who refuses to wear sunscreen. I will say though, the voice acting is quite good; that's something the rest of you are being unfair about. Do I think the performances in the original were better? Yes. Do I wish Capcom had at least reached out to TJ Rotolo to reprise his role? Also yes, but he's been a good sport about it. And Frank's new VA, along with all the others, should be proud of their portrayals of these characters.

Since I am past the 2 hour mark and can't refund my purchase, I will continue to play this game, instead of letting it collect polygon dust. Everyone else should buy the original and find a HD mod to beef up the visuals. Seriously, you're not missing anything by not buying this remake.

loved it now remaster 2 and off the record and fix pc port of 3

As someone who wasn't a fan of the original game and found it to be a very frustrating experience, i ended up liking this remaster much more even though there are some obvious downgrades like missing reflections, censorship, less gore, less zombies on screen and some bad pop in.
On the other hand the remaster addresses some of the original’s pain points, like adding a more forgiving save system, modern controls scheme, improving survivor AI and slightly less aggressive zombies. These changes helped make me enjoy the game much more.
While the Deluxe Remaster doesn’t completely overhaul the game, the improvements made are enough to turn a frustrating experience into something much more enjoyable. If you, like me, weren’t a fan of the original, this version is worth giving a shot, it might just change your opinion.
7/10 (Good)
