Dead Rising will launch on PlayStation 4, Capcom has just confirmed to Eurogamer. But that's not all - it will also be released on Xbox One and PC.

Oh, and Dead Rising 2? That's headed to new consoles as well.

"Capcom will be bringing Dead Rising to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. In addition, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will make their way onto Xbox One and PS4. We will have more news to share soon."

Off the Record was the version of DR2 which brought back Dead Rising 1's protagonist Frank West, which makes sense as he's the star of the show in DR1 and the upcoming DR4 on Xbox One and PC, also due this year.

ORIGINAL STORY 10.00am Trophies for the first, classic Dead Rising game have popped up online - suggesting a new launch for PlayStation 4 is on the cards.

The awards list comes via Exophase, which has form for revealing games long ahead of announcement, such as the remasters of Heavy Rain and Beyond.

Dead Rising originally launched for Xbox 360 in 2006 and stayed exclusive to Microsoft's console.

A re-release for PS4 now is surprising, though - the newly announced Dead Rising 4 is an expanded take on the original Dead Rising, and is due out this December.

Doesn't look half bad actually and the improved framerate will certainly help, too. Don't care too much about this game/series, but I like how Capcom is branching out beyond RE, MH and SF recently.

 

Edit: they'll be showing more on Monday at this thing:

I think they'd need to do a lot of work on it. After the initial hour I found it really wore out it's welcome. But if you remove the time limit, the save system, and that you kind of have to fail and redo stuff, then you've completely changed the game

If they (non-optionally) remove the timer they sort of kill what the game is at that point. The timer gave the game a great sense of consequence I feel like. My bigger issue is it does feel a bit shit to play

 

The original ran at 60fps on 360 btw, MT framework was amazing for that generation. Dead Rising and Legendary Dark Knight mode* on dmc4 with their insane enemy counts

 

*which consoles didn't get, but a laptop could run it easily

I wasn’t interested until I watched the video and they said they fixed the survivor AI and it bought back all those terrible memories of some idiot walking in to a wall being eaten to death shouting “Help, Frank!” 

 

When they said in the video they fixed it that made it so much more appealing. Dead Rising would be great if essential parts of it weren’t so broken 

 

(Would have been nice if they rebalanced the boss fights, too)

Tbh, I find the newer one looking more bland in some of those comparisons. It's also extremely dark. Usually I'd prefer the more realistic lighting but I wonder here does it not create gameplay issues (suzi seems to think so in her preview)

 

 

I watched this yesterday and was a bit disappointed to hear the XP curve is so generous that it makes the game feel less hostile than the original, but like the vid says a difficulty selection could offer a way to keep that feeling. Either way I still have the OG on PC which I was thinking about playing at some point anyway but will see how the remake is received once released

 

The NPC AI not being awful is a good thing tho, even if that also makes the game easier it's the kind of easier you'd want cause it never felt like you had much control in the original
