Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Offers Classic Controls Option

Aug 13, 2024 4:00 PM

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will allow players to choose between two control schemes: "Standard" with quality-of-life improvements and "Classic," which mirrors the original Xbox 360's controls. While the Classic option satisfies nostalgia, it does come with some limitations, including the inability to move while aiming and no option for button remapping. Pre-orders for both the Standard and Deluxe versions will also grant players access to a classic Frank West costume. The remaster is set for release on September 19 for digital versions, with physical copies available starting November 8.

What control options are available in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster?

The remaster offers two control options: "Standard," which includes new gameplay enhancements, and "Classic," which emulates the original game's control scheme but restricts movement while aiming.

Dead Rising is a survival horror video game franchise created by Capcom, known for its engaging gameplay and unique settings, typically revolving around zombie outbreaks. The first game, released in 2006, received acclaim for its open-world design and the freedom it offered players in dealing with hordes of zombies. The upcoming Deluxe Remaster aims to capture the essence of this classic while integrating modern controls for a new generation of players.

It's awesome to see Dead Rising getting a Deluxe Remaster, especially with the option to toggle between modern and classic controls—talk about catering to all types of players Nostalgia can be a double-edged sword, though; while the retro feel is great, some players might miss those quality-of-life improvements if they stick with the Classic scheme.

Looks like Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is playing it smart by giving players the choice between nostalgic and modern control schemes. It's a neat way to appeal to both old-school fans and newcomers, though I can already hear the cries of frustration from anyone opting for that Classic mode

It's great to see Dead Rising getting a Deluxe Remaster, especially with those two control schemes that cater to both newcomers and nostalgic fans. While the Classic option is a fun trip down memory lane, I can't help but appreciate the quality-of-life improvements in Standard—it's a nice balance that makes the remaster relevant for today’s gamers
