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*

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.

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

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

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.

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 KZfaq channel talking about Dead Rising 1 & 2 on Spanish, because of how cool and terrifying was that zombie in particular, along with many others.

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.

As much as I love Dead Rising 1, I also wished that Capcom make a Remake of Dead Rising 2, but not just the main game itself, but also combining it with its DLC's (Case Zero & Case West) and even with Off The Record, so we can finally play officially those DLC's on PC and other consoles, because those DLC's were awesome (specially Case West, having Frank West back as Chuck's companion and then as his best friend) and they also helped to understand better Chuck's backstory and motivations and making Dead Rising 2 story more interesting (reflecting again the American consumerism showed it in Dead Rising 1, but with the Zombrex medicine, instead of meat). It would be awesome if we can also use the exclusive weapons, items and outfits from Case West in both Original Dead Rising 2 and Off The Record. Also because DR2, CZ, CW and OTR graphics aged horribly compared to DR1, but at least not so bad compared to DR4. So it would be nice also to see a Fortune City remake, with much better high quality DR2 zombies too, and much better sounds and special effects.

Frank's face changing feels like some sort of in joke. From 1 to 2 it's a little believable since he got older, and probably more stressed and/or depressed. But then they kept changing it as you said until 4 where he is nothing like anything else.

It’s weird how Frank went from looking to a regular 36 year old, to a middle aged washed up wrestler coming back out of retirement, to a 37 year old hipster, to somebody’s dad on his way back from getting milk from the store

GhenryPerez talking about Dead Rising again. Ah man this takes me back to my highschool years. Awesome.

The only dead rising remaster/remake video that I’ve been waiting for

He wasn't saying they weren't high quality models he was talking about how dead rising had technical limitations based on the scale of what they wanted to achieve because of how different dead rising handle zombies compared to resident evil quantity over individual quality. what does it mean? it means the models weren't as high quality as they could have been or had a ton of variety between models, Falls under the umbrella of challenges they faced during development like how much dialogue in the original game couldn't be voiced, the framerate not being the best at times the compromises they had to take to get it working on launch 360. The Majini in resident evil 5 are higher quality models when it comes down to it if you look at the polygon count I guarantee it they're not better zombie models they're better models and with a better understanding of the engine they did amazing things look at monster hunter world probably the last big notable MT Framework release It's stunning even today.

This to me is Capcom preparing to continue the series. They need to reinvigorate interest in it first, likely to gauge whether it will be a profitable venture. On top of that, the fact that they’re keeping the core mechanics with quality of life improvements rather than keeping mechanics from the newer entries gives me hope that any future games will play similarly. Truth be told, giving all games the Deluxe Remaster treatment would do wonders. Except for 4. That just needs to be completely and utterly remade. Keep the story, bring back psychopaths and make the environment more interactive. I can understand Frank being jaded, so keep that, but drop the callousness and the need to drop a quip every 5 seconds. Also, they needed to get shot of the ‘Willamette was an inside job’ thing, because it wasn’t. It was a terrorist attack. Santa Cabeza was the inside job.

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

I hope this means we get more in the series. Continuing off dr2 would be awesome

Man, I really want this game to sell well. The Dead Rising franchise deserves a revival, especially for people who haven't played the original games until recently like me. I can't play the Dead Rising 2 games because their PC ports suck and I've never owned any Xbox or PSX. Also, I believe Larry is still Chinese (or Taiwanese), he's just meant to be less of a stereotype.

Ghenry DR videos... how I've missed these.

Chuck is the Arbiter as Frank is the Chief of Deadrising

LET'S GOOO NEW UPLOAD

They recasted all the voices so Larry the butchers whitewash doesn't stick out LMAO

I’m not fond of the changes they did to Larry. I’m just worried they’ll tone down the mature content such as Jo, Psychopaths, Erotica genre, tone down dialogue, and bad voice acting. Either way, I’m excited

Since Capcom has full control over Dead Rising again, I wanna see ether a remaster of 2 and possibly a next gen update/version for 3 cause it really needs it, and maybe a proper fuckin PC port. One thing Is that if they ever update DR3 for this generation of hardware Is get all the shit from the Smartglass app into the actual game cause the app no longer exists.

I'm just happy they didn't went for the face scanned photorealistic that permeates every Capcom game nowadays.

My goat with the dead rising content is back

Perfect for a game is a strong word. I replayed the original recently, and some things are questionable: such as the level up, which makes the very punishing in lower levels, becoming only enjoyable later; The obvious bad survivor AI can also make the game very frustrating; saving system; unmarked quests;

13:11 Hit Stop

Had been watching your old dead rising videos a couple days ago, and was wondering if you had seen the news of the remake. Then behold you've dropped a vid on it

I'm actually glad they're getting rid of that impact freeze thing, it's fine when your just hitting one zombie at a time but I always hated how the game became a slideshow when you wide swung the sledgehammer into a horde of Zombies.

i give you the honor of watching this while i eat

Been a fan for 18 years. Love everything here and it is Day 1 buy. My favorite game of all time, have a Japanese copy, and 100% on all console platforms. Hope to see all Dead Rising 2 content get the same treatment. I hated Dead Rising 3 and 4 for different reasons as they were a shell of what the earlier games were. Would be great to see an eventual reboot of the franchise in a new universe with new characters and a new story

I hope this is a really roundabout way of reconning DR3 into having a better tone & DR4 not existing, since the games are numbered it's hard to just completely remove a game from the canon without replacing it like a reboot, but the first 2 entries are exactly the same

This feels awfully close as to what REmake 1 did, it's faithful to the original and expands more shit, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe capcom is trying to apply the same logic as to what they did to the RE franchise a soft reboot disguised as a remake.

man, the past few years of gaming have really been tickling my fancy. already bought this and cant wait for the new Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi and RE9. Only thing I need is a new katamari game and I'll be set until the next console

I had Never thought we would see another dead Rising game, maybe there is hope for future projects.

Honestly my main hope if DRDR does well enough to relaunch the series is perhaps an OTR2 that could switch Chuck out for Nick, be it canon to OTRs universe or it's own standalone

I don't think anyone is ready for ultra HD Adam The Clown

Im taking 'impact stops' thats perfect and i've never been able to label the frame stops myself. It was a big reason why dr2 doesnt feel nearly as good as dr1

I was hoping to get DR on Switch, but there was no way this one could've made it on that console. If we're lucky maybe on the 2nd version? I also hope that they have a Sandbox Mode like in DR2 OTR. That's what made that game so great.

I wonder what they're going to do for a Dead Rising 2 remake, are they going to go straight to Off the Record, retell just Chuck's story, or what I think would be cool, have both Frank's and Chuck's campaign bundled together and let the player choose between the two.

"Now with 200% more wrinkles"

Judging by bits like hitting the zombies with the bench at the fountain, it looks like they took a different solution to hitstop: making Frank briefly pause on hits instead of pausing the entire game. I may be wrong though.

I feel like the dev just meant that the zombies don’t look as good as they could’ve since there was potential for better looking zombies due to how polished they look in dead rising 2 and eventually 3

After playing the PS4 remaster this is exactly what I wanted. I get your criticisms of the initial trailer, but I am totally hyped for it.

13:14 In fighting games we have a term called "hit stop", allows player to hit confirm better with combos as well as the "omph" feeling. That could be the term you were looking for. Impact stop works though!

7:58 tbh he looked like mathew parry, may he rest in peace, mixed with bill murray

I just bought the dead rising triple pack from Ps store. And NOW I understand why people love the franchise and its protagonists. I also bought DR4 franks big package and plan on getting DR3 in the near future cuz I don’t have Xbox.

I played Dead rising as a kid and I got super excited, I just really hope this game does do well because this could swing open the door for more entry, as much as I'd love TJ to come back the new va is not awful i just hope they don't take a DR4 route, but so far im excited

My thoughts are the more successful this is the more likely they are to make a new entry in the future. So I preordered and plan on supporting it as much as possible! Dead rising is my all time favorite game

ZAMBAMBINO’S ARE BACK

Actually, if you look close at him swinging a bench around, it seems the hit stop is applied to frank and the zombies he's hitting, but not the game speed itself. It looks like how hitstop works in Monster Hunter and I wouldn't be surprised if it's based on the strength of the hit now.

Oh, you mentioned the new model on Frank looking odd, specifically his eyes. Yeah, that squint he normally has it gone. And I think it was a characteristic of his. So, he's an independent journalist, not tied to any news outlet or organization, so I always interpreted it as Frank being a bit suspicious of people, not quite trusting anyone around him, always thinking "Ok, what's their story and how do they fit into this?"

Frank is back G

Dragons dogma fanbase is definitely pissed about dd2 being a lackluster sequel stripping mechanics, jobs, monsters, story etc

I remember playing this when I was like 8 on the fucking wii omg how time flies by

I hope the Wii Zombies get in, considering we'll get RE gunplay like in Wii Version.

Frank now looks like Earl Bundy.

PSA for anyone wanting to play the original version of Dead Rising for the first time (like me): DR1, DR2 and DR2: Off the Record are all $2 bucks each on the Xbox 360 store (cheaper than the Steam Summer Sale, surprisingly). These games, among many others, are deeply discounted because the 360 store shuts down at the end of July. I grabbed 'em recently and I'm excited to finally dip my toes into these games.

i'm not entirely sure if it's what they're going for, but my take on the new Frank design is to bring it closer to the original 2005 beta/TGS design where he had a mode blockish face. With them bringing back Zombie designs also seen from that version and reimplementing cop zombies shooting at Frank i wouldn't be shocked if they tried to go as far back as they could and mesh all the versions of Frank from DR1's development history into a single design with the new one.

I hope the game will review good enough for the 2nd game to get a remaster

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Glad to see you covering DR again!

If this remaster sells well but most importantly is rated positively we could see a dead rising 2 deluxe remaster & then a new game perhaps following the resident evil remake formula

I respect them trying to keep to the original game as a remaster, as opposed to a remake. Sometimes good old games are fine with some extra polish rather than a new foundation

I think what they mean with re being "quality over quantity" is in gameplay. Dead rising using a large quantity of zombies to hoard you. Where re uses small numbers of intricately placed zombies to make each zombie a huge threat

WAIT WAIT WAIT, the pause frame on hit was a feature??? I thought my game was buggy as it was so old wtf

i might be crazy but i feel like fixing survivor ai alone warrants a remaster...

frank looks straight out of a marvel vs capcom game

Hiya mate, I'm Matt Durham about a year to two years ago I took part in a confidential survey by Capcom, it was to see what game should be remastered should be and what game Capcom should make next? My vote was Dead Rising remake and a new DR game but much more based either around the original DR1timeline; in my opinion DR1 was the best DR game in the series. When the results came in I was shocked to see out of all the potential games Capcom had listed for a possible remake DR1 was the top result, Capcom listed some very well known titles which sold more than DR1. I'm so so glad a remaster is on the way, the only gripe I have with DR1 is the side quests and main story didn't feel very gelled together, an example would be a cross over like raid the gun store could be a side quest but would impact the main story as it would better arm people around you and help you and your group fight better. If that makes sense? Other than XP dealing with psychos has no bearing and can be completely avoided as it doesn't impact the main story.

I have Unpopular opinions: - i dont mind a new voice actor for frank, i think it matches well with the his new character model - i dont care for combo weapons Just sharing MY thoughts. Please dont get all anger. You can like combo weapons boo 😉

I'm not a super purist, so I'm ok with some changes. Like, if combo weapons made a return, I'd love that. But I'll take DR1 as is with a few touch ups. Like, better AI on survivors you rescue, because everyone hated that, even you and you considered the original a perfect game. So I can definitely seeing this change as something you'd be in favor for. As for the gun mechanics, I know some people defending it because "Frank isn't a marksman, so naturally he'd be clumsy with a gun" and that's understandable. Surely that will be a debated topic on whether to improve or keep to the original.

Honestly the changes to survivor ai is what makes me want to at least give it a shot

Nice to hear your enthusiasm

Apart of Frank's new appearance, I also don't like the complete redesign of Larry the butcher psychopath. Looking more like a big and fat version of Carl the mailman psychopath from Dead Rising 2. I have a feeling that Capcom did this as a way of "censorship", because of a suppose racial stereotypes about Asia on the original design of Larry, but that is just my guess.

Definitely with you on the original being perfect to me. Though I am going to jump on the remaster right away I would’ve totally been fine leaving DR alone as well. Though I still like DR2 and a chunk of 3 they really don’t have anything on that first entry. I even had a bad thought of “damn what if they do add combo weapons?” Though you show interest I don’t one bit and am very glad they didn’t add them

I agree with you fully with the old voice cast not being reprised. It may be due to them wanting higher quality sound for the voice lines, or maybe they are trying to add voice lines to tie it better with a Dead Rising 2 Remaster. I hope it's because they're adding more voice lines for other modes. While I don't mind survival mode in the original, I also would greatly appreciate optional modes or features from the sequels. Bluecastle/Capcom Vancouver has taken the series into some weird and unnecessary directions either due to lack of direction from the original team or due to too much direction from the original team (*cough *cough Dead Rising 4 being scrapped and remade in a hurry due to disapproval from Capcom Japan). However Sandbox mode from Off the Records, Coop mode from DR2 and DR3 or a difficulty mode from DR3 or DR4 would be greatly appreciated additions that doesn't subtract from the original game if the main story mode is as close to the original as possible. I'm happy to get a remaster without these additions regardless. Perhaps it can bring in new fans and help Capcom gauge the popularity of their IP that might lead to a revival. The franchise could have remained DEAD, but the note it went out on makes me happy to see it given another chance to RISE. hehe get it hehe

Even though I don't think this game needs a remake, I certainly understand why they're doing it: They get to gain some experience making a Dead Rising game work in RE Engine and gauge modern interest in the series without having to worry about conceiving, writing, and planning an entirely new entry. I'm sure doing a remake took a lot of weight off of their shoulders compared to making a DR5, and they know they have a great game on their hands already (as long as they dont mess anything up.) If this game sells well, they will definitely consider making a new Dead Rising game and leaving the hell of DR4 behind.

Jimmies rustled

The Deluxe Remaster looks so good that if CAPCOM were smart, they'd treat it as a reboot of the series and make future entries a Dead Rising 2, 3, 4, etc. starring Frank West. No hate to Chuck, but it's not quite the same without Frank.

Personally, I feel this is how they should have handled the RE4 Remake. The original game holds up extremely well in terms of gameplay and all it really needed was some QOL stuff. The Remake they did produce felt like a completely different game with a different focus. Not a fan of it.

franks face is the beta face in higher detail

If they are going to remake DR1, i PRAY they will also remake DR2. Seriusly, Dead Rising 2 is my favorite from the original trío.

A co-op feature would’ve done nothing to kill the original dead rising experience. If anything it would add even more replay ability to an already great title. I feel it was lazy on their part for not adding that.

And i hope this version of the game actually releases in germany. I mean i would probably find around it again but i can hope. :) Edit: welp it's banned... yey You'd think laws surrounding gaming would change in almost 20 years but i guess they don't.

i would adore for them to follow this faithful remaster up with a bit more hands-on of a dead rising 2 remake, and then just veer off with a brand new dead rising 3 entirely. i love lots about 2 but it needs more changes than 1. either way, i really hope this paves the way for a dead rising renaissance!

Drake is indeed dead

There is alot of Chuck fans were just not as vocal

What I understand- “me like but no like me do like but no like but really like”
