Important takeaways
- Dead Rising is finally back in action thanks to the recently released Deluxe Remaster.
- It seems that Capcom is keen to extend the rest of the series in a similar fashion, as an official poll is asking fans which game they want to get the Deluxe Remaster treatment next.
- The survey also asks if fans would rather have a complete remake of the games instead of the upgrade in between.
Capcom has shared a poll asking Dead Rising fans which game in the series they'd like to see get the “Deluxe Remaster” treatment next, which surprisingly also 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 its 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 may 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 seems like that might actually happen. As pointed out by Redditor Wonderful_Mud5363 on the Dead Rising subreddit, Capcom sent out a poll after the Deluxe Remaster's release asking fans what they want to see next.
The survey includes a series of questions about Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's marketing and how players found out about it, as well as more specific details about the remake's content, including what they liked the most and even what their favorite outfit is. Eventually, the survey asks fans if they want to see more Deluxe Remasters in the future.
The survey actually mentions a bunch of different Capcom franchises that could get Deluxe Remasters, including Dino Crisis, Onimusha, Power Stone, and Lost Planet. Capcom clearly sees a future with these releases.
After all that, the survey asks players which Dead Rising game in the series they would most like to see a Deluxe Remaster of, including Dead Rising 2, Off The Record, Dead Rising 3 and most surprising of all, Dead Rising 4. This suggests that all these are a possibility, although there is also the option of an entirely new game in the series, or a full-on remake like the Resident Evil games.
While this investigation doesn't necessarily mean that any of the other Dead Rising games will get the Deluxe Remaster treatment, it does suggest that Capcom sees it as a possibility and is considering it for the series. Considering how many fans want Dead Rising 2 to get an upgrade next, it's a very positive development that opens things up considerably.
