Dead Rising is one of my all-time favorite series, but after 4 I can't help but be worried about anything new. If this is real then hopefully the devs understand what made 1 & 2 so special and don't try to turn it into generic horror/dynasty warriors like 3 & 4 were.
It should have a smaller environment, bring back the 3 day time limit, survivor escorting, psychopaths and co-op.

Xbox really is afraid to make a new IP…

Meh. Doesn't seem worthwhile. I'd rather they had moved on to a new IP. I'm so sick of shooting zombies.

- Make the controls more tight
- Make everything a weapon
- Dial down the cringe psychos
- Improve survivor AI
- Fix save system
And MAYBE get rid of weapon crafting and the count down timer.

A dead rising game on the RE engine? Hopefully it's a mixture of 1,2 and 3.

Just make sure it's not by a Western studio who don't "get" it.

3 isn't bad at all it just starts to move away from what make DR1/2 so good.

It’s different but still good and still dead rising and still has the wacky bosses and the great weapon combinations. Dead Rising should go back to inside the Mall.

Super Ultra Dead Rising 3' Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α was stupidly fun. I enjoyed that more than the base game.

I don't mean this to be a dick but this is exactly what killed the franchise in the first place
What you are talking about is not really Dead Rising anymore.
If you take away the timer you take away the essence of the game, and then you get Dead Rising 4, a mediocre open world action game.

This. I would absolutely LOVE a complete remake of 1 and 2.
3 barely had a timer and 4 omitted one entirely. Neither game reached the popularity of the first two entries. The timer only matters if you want to go for the best ending. The core loop of DR is completing all the quests and getting the best ending within the time limit. The first two were very much arcade games where the challenge was finding a perfect run in the minimal amount of time and exp.
There's no penalty for ignoring the quests and dicking around for 6 hours. Your exp carries over to a new playthrough making DR like a souls game in the sense that the game becomes easier the more times you fail. Off the record added a sandbox mode with no story/timer and its own quests if that's your thing.

Forgot there was even a 4.

Dead Rising should have stuck with the realism graphics they were trying for with DR1. It made the oddball combat stand out even more. When they started trying to make it look a little zany beyond the organically zany combat, something was lost. I hope they go raw on the filters and allow us to pick up any item on the screen.

If it looks like it has potential, color me interested. I used to love the Dead Rising series SO much. But I'll save my hype until we see what it looks like.

Nah. It gave the game a huge replayability as you had to decide what you’re going for at the start. If anything they should expand on that line of thinking. Meaning, more options to choose at the beginning as in the original it basically just boiled down to story/survivors/kill count.

No way. DR3 is amazing. It's ability to craft on the go, weapon variety, regular weapon utility, unarmed combat, open sandbox design, customisation, and speed make it hard to go back to DR2. The protagonist given the dialogue of a bitch ass simp is the only downside. I loved the seven deadly sins theme for psychos and the jokes. I also found the Nightmare timer challenging.
I hope this new game is not politically correct and takes place on a cruise ship. Also would not mind being able to throw/dismember enemies at will like Frank in the original. Would be cool to see some ideas from Dead Island cross over.

There was a survivor AI in the original game?
I don't think they'll keep the timer, because it would stress modern players too much. And I admit I was always among them in this case, I never enjoyed playing games that had me race against the clock, I prefer to explore locations at my own pace.

I just bought the first one a couple of days ago. I like the arcade feel of it. It is campy fun yet the characters are not written in a modern way, they take their situation in the world seriously as if their lives matter.

The first couple games were fun. Are these games really old enough to need a remake though?
