This looks really promising I just wish they would add a toggle to add the original voice cast recordings back since they have the source code. and I'm a bit wary of the change the made to Larry the butcher... he looks too normal... some people claimed his appearance was toned back cause he "looked like an offensive caricature of a Chinese person" but I never saw it like that he just looked like an insane butcher who happened to be a Chinese/Taiwanese immigrant.
Man, what a great time to be a Dead Rising fan. I thought the franchise was over then on a random day we get a trailer for a remake of one of my top 3 favorite games of all time. I couldn't be happier with how this looks. Aside from a few ambitious changes I would of liked to see like being able to visit surrounding Willamette and multiplayer I think this is an excellent remake so far from the looks of it. I hope this starts a trend and we see a remake of dead rising 2 along with its off the record dlc. Who knows maybe we will see Dead Rising 5 after all.
Im reallly excited! The game looks beautiful and ill definitely be picking it up .But i do have a few complaints & nitpicks: -very disappointed at the absence of TJ Rotolo, to me he IS Frank West, ill give the new guy a chance but its going to be a noticeable absence. - I dont like Larry's new design, with all the other psychos looking identical to their old selves, its reallly jarring having him be the only re-design. I know some people are saying OG larry is offensive. I've personally never heard anyone complain about it, but if a redesign was absolutely necessary i wish it was something a little more gross and creepy. New larry looks to sterile imo -I also kinda hate the new HUD and UI, its all too tactical, feels a little too call of duty for my liking. The old hud had a lot more personality, I'm gonna miss the spinning News Channel globe in the background when pausing. -my last concern is still up in the air, but the license music must make a return. Its too iconic. If the psychopath themes aren't the same its gonna be a really big blow to this game for me personally. Other than that everything else looks great! I can't wait for September 19th!
That Capcom had an insert for that dog at the beginning shows me that they knew it was a terrible design, even all the way back in 2005. And I remember saying that to my friends when we first played DR back then, "that dog looks hideous."
One big change I hope is implemented is the ability to look at your watch in Infinity Mode. Because that new fast forward feature seems like a perfect fit for that mode, you can gather up your items in a safe area and then fast forward to when you need to use them. The challenge of the mode would still be intact but the absurd amount of real time waiting where NOTHING happens would be removed. It would make things like 7 day survivor, or even just going for as long as you possibly can much more enticing since you would actually be able to keep constantly playing the mode instead of it just being a test of how long you can stay awake for. Also there's one big obvious thing in the trailer that you didn't mention in the video, and that is the motorcycle in paradise plaza. There was no way you could get the bike there in the original game, so something has changed (either some way to take vehicles between interior zones like that, or a new bike added) to allow that.
Larry's design is worse, I'm sure people will decry him being a racist caricature of a Chinese butcher but he doesn't even look Asian in the new one and far less intimidating. And some of the lighting for the models is ugh, not that great, it's so radically inconsistent, sometimes it looks okay sometimes it looks jarring. That being said, the environmental work looks good, but I'm concerned about the tone and licensed music being kept the same. Environments are the best part so far, they really need to fix the lighting for the full release.
really excited for this remaster! Me and my boyfriend coincidentally are playing thru the game again so I can show him it. Much love Stip0 keep up the content its good to have you back :)
I love how it looks so far! It's mostly just the voices I'm not really sold on yet, and that's across the board not just Frank. They all seem mixed a bit odd and held back to some extent imo
I like the new character model for Frank but it just looked really off as he was jumping out of the helicopter in one of the shots. I wish they would make it so you could judo throw certain bosses with a quick button press at the right moment. That was one of the few redeemable features of chop til you drop. Either way the more I see the more I like. This is one game where I think balancing things in the players favor helps lower the tedious nature of the original.
Hearing Stip0 reaction just pure felt like mine all excited for the remake yeah it's tough without TJ Rotolo but graphics and gameplay looks very promising
From what I've seen, this could be one of the best remakes ever, I feel like they use the word remaster to even further nail the fact that this is a love letter to the original, and how the game was perfect, and a little modernisation but without changing it completely is exactly what the fans, and the original devs deserve.
Honestly the remake looks amazing besides the new frank voice but i might be bias there so the improved survivor A.I. is huge the gun mechanics seem more in line with 2 being able to move and aim at the same time and the zombies with weapons being able to fire isn't just a cut mechanic from 1 but also a feature that was in dr3 as well so seeing it in dr 1 is neat
I just hope at minimum they redo every character model to make them not look super cartoony and add an option to use the original voices. As it stands, I think they completely messed those 2 aspects up. That really disappointed me. I’ve lost all faith in Capcom to faithfully recreate my favorite game after RE4R and DRDR.
About the design of Frank, reminds me the og art concepts, i mean i like this new design but at the same time i don't like it, but well there is the og Frank West design with the Chuck Greene outfit.
I'm 100% convinced that Capcom not only watched your videos, but used them as sources of information while developing this game. Your reputation in the DR community is unmatched. There's no way they haven't seen your content.
I wasn't expecting this.. but have to say.. looks great, big fan of the first 2 games, I remember having them back on the 360, seems like capcom knows hows to do a good remake, resident evil 2, resident evil 4, Dead Rising, looks good and can't wait to dive back into this game, been years since I played the first one,
love how they kept the same vibe as the og game. If they allowed mods, imagine if it was also possible to see better Physics like the ones from the resident evil games since it's the same engine aint it?
I'm just happy Isabela and Carlito (from what little we've seen of him) look so amazing, some of my favourite Capcom characters. I don't know if I can get used to the new Frank, but I may as well try.
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.
