Dead Rising Remake Petition Gains Momentum
The original Dead Rising has garnered a passionate following, with fans expressing their love for the Capcom classic and demanding a new Dead Rising remaster. While Dead Rising 5 has received mixed reviews, fans have been yearning for a return to the survival-focused gameplay of the first installment.
A Lasting Impression
The unique concept of the original Dead Rising, which allowed players to assume the role of a photographer in a zombie apocalypse set within a mall teeming with hundreds of undead, continues to resonate with players. Many regard it as a masterpiece, with one user commenting, "I know it's dated but I'd kill for a remastered or remade version." Another user echoes the sentiment, stating, "I want a new Dead Rising game just like this, exactly like this." While some users believe that the gameplay feels outdated, others argue that the absence of fast travel is a deliberate choice that heightens tension and player investment.
A Spark of Excitement
Rumors and excitement have ignited among fans at the prospect of a new Dead Rising game. The first installment left an indelible mark on players, immersing them in a zombie apocalypse and evoking a true sense of survival. While some players look back fondly on the original game, others yearn for it to incorporate elements from the newer entries in the series.
Revamping the Formula
Opinions vary on how a potential remake should approach the first Dead Rising. One user comments, "The first one was great because it was different. The new one should take the formula from the first game and enhance it." However, not all fans agree, with one user arguing, "The first one was just a zombie game with a different coat of paint. It had the same mechanics as every other zombie game." Despite some frustrations with certain aspects, such as respawning enemies, fans remain eager for a remaster or remake of the game.
The Polarizing Time Limit
The time limit mechanic in the game has divided fans. While some find it anxiety-inducing, others appreciate the challenge and replayability it offers. "I still play this game regularly, and it's all because of the time limit," confesses one user. "It promotes strategic planning and multiple playthroughs to improve. However, the AI in this game is horrendous, making it near-impossible to save everyone." Although completing the game does not require meeting the time limit, it significantly impacts the endings and subplots involving survivors, further intensifying the game's challenge.
A Mixed Reputation
The first Dead Rising installment has garnered mixed reviews among fans. Many feel that the subsequent games in the series lost the essence of survival horror, likening the gameplay to "Pokemon Snap with zombies and running." The third and fourth entries in the series, in particular, were met with disappointment. Fans now eagerly await Capcom's return to the franchise, leveraging their recent successes and the highly praised RE Engine.
