The original version of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster had a unique feature where players could earn bonus points by taking photos of women's underwear. However, it seems that Capcom has decided to remove this aspect in the new version. This isn't the only change being made, as the game's graphics are also receiving an overhaul.
Remasters have become a popular trend in the gaming industry, offering publishers an opportunity to make easy money by updating and re-releasing beloved games with improved graphics. While there may be some extra work put into the visuals for this particular remaster, it's important to note that not all aspects of old games age well.
One such aspect is the concept of taking photos of women in compromising positions for extra points. This was considered questionable even in 2006, and now it's deemed too controversial to include at all. In the original game, players could earn bonus points for taking photos in certain categories, including Brutality, Horror, Outtake, and Erotica. While this may have fit with the protagonist's background and personality, it's understandable that Capcom has chosen to remove the Erotica category.
The news of this change comes from a preview by Famitsu in Japan, which explicitly states that the new version will not include the "EROTICA" rating point from the original. Despite being labeled as a remaster, it seems that this is more of a full remake, as it features updated graphics, controls, interface, and a traditional save system. However, one noticeable change is that the original voice actor, Terence J. Rotolo, will not be returning to voice the protagonist, Frank.
Even though the Dead Rising series has never been one of Capcom's top-selling franchises, it has still garnered a loyal fanbase, with four mainline games and a remake of Dead Rising 2 featuring Frank as the lead character. It's possible that this remaster is a way for Capcom to gauge interest in a new game, following the success of their Resident Evil remakes.
The digital version of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be released on September 19 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, with a physical version coming in November. With improved graphics and the removal of the controversial "EROTICA" category, it seems that this remaster will offer players a better gameplay experience without the perviness of the original version.
