As a dedicated gamer, I can confidently say that Capcom didn’t truly nail the gritty, horror-filled atmosphere of George Romero’s zombie films in their previous titles until they unleashed the epic Dead Rising in 2006. With its hilariously cheesy dialogues, excessive gore and action, and clever satire of modern life, Dead Rising quickly became a cult classic, much like Romero’s masterpieces such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead. It was one of the Xbox 360’s early must-have exclusives that left an indelible mark. Now, Capcom’s decision to revamp and re-release Dead Rising as the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster feels like receiving a pristine 4K remaster of a cherished horror flick. After getting my hands on it, I can confirm that Dead Rising has never looked or played better.
