Summary
A fan survey from Capcom aboutDead Rising Deluxe Remastermay be the publisher/developer’s way of testing the waters for moreDead Risinggames in the future.Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterlaunched in mid-September, and positive reactions from its fan base might spur Capcom to release additional remasters or remakes, or possibly an entirely new game for the franchise.
TheDead Risingseries traces its roots back to 2006, encompassing four numbered, main-series games andDead Rising 2: Off the Record, which retells the story ofDead Rising 2if the first game’s hero, journalist Frank West, had been the protagonist. On September 16,Capcom releasedDead Rising Deluxe Remasterto mostly positive reviews, and it’s currently seeing an 83 percent approval rating on Steam.
The survey, shared onDead Rising’s official Twitter page, was designed to gather data from fans' reactions toDead Rising Deluxe Remaster. While it mostly asks players questions like whatfeatures inDead Rising Deluxe Remasterthey enjoy, what version of the game they bought, and if they would recommend it to a friend, two questions near the end of the poll seek to gather fans' interest in the future of the franchise. One question asks fans to choose between Capcom releasing a deluxe remaster, a simple remaster, or a full remake of another game from the series. A second question lets fans select which of the other three main series games they’d most like to see get a remaster or remake, also giving selectable options forDead Rising 2: Off the Recordor an entirely newDead Risinggame.
The series hasn’t seen an entirely new entry sinceDead Rising 4in 2016, but over the past few months, key Capcom figures have expressed interest in releasingmore games for theDead Risingfranchise. While nothing in the poll states concretely that a newDead Risinggame is on the way, publishers and developers frequently use similar polls to take fans' interest in future releases into account, so the results could potentially steer Capcom in that direction. Of course, there is no way of knowing what the poll numbers show unless Capcom releases them, but comments on the Twitter post suggest that a remake ofDead Rising 2or a brand-new game in the series are the likely front-runners.
Regardless of whether a new game or remake is on the way, Capcom has already hinted atgood news forDead Rising 2fans, with several top members of the team stating in a late-Septemberinterview with Inversethat a remaster is “definitely possible” ifDead Rising Deluxe Remasterperforms well enough on the market.
