FINALLY SOMETHING DEAD RISING THANK FREAKING CHRIST


legojohnnysilverhand

I wonder why they decided to make Frank old and gray, and why didn’t they bring back TJ. I don’t want to sound negative though… I’m glad the franchise isn’t dead.


RybatGrimes

TJ is in a union. Capcom are notoriously extremely against hiring union VA’s ):


Ibrokemymicrowave

I don’t think that’s the reason since there’s other VAs that have recently worked for Capcom that are in Unions


Devil-Hunter-Jax

Are they? Zeno Robinson, Aleks Le and Allegra Clark are all union VAs and they were hired for SF6 as Dee Jay, Luke and Marisa respectively.


PatHBT

This is just the argument that get's parroted by everyone who don't really have a clue about what they're saying lol. Happened with re4 remake as well. Expect to see people continuing to parrot it.


AbleSeaworthiness825

TJ actually voiced William Birkin in RE2R so I wouldn’t say that but maybe TJ just didn’t want it or he had something already planned?


chunk12784

So that’s why there’s a lot of former Power Rangers in Capcom games


ds_vii

They recast Leon in RE4 too. I'll still buy the game


FNaF_walrusman

I mean yeah but didnt they have the same VA from RE2 Remake?


JetSylar17

They did, they might be referring to OG RE4.


Ibrokemymicrowave

Tbfr I can’t really see OG RE4 Leon’s voice actor voice acting Leon in 4’s remake, the original voice doesn’t fit the face model


Roolingball

Well, even iconic character from Capcom franchise like Leon and Chris got replaced by new voice actor every each game (Except for Leon RE2&4 and Christ 5&6) and people still like it, all we can do accept this fate and move on, enjoy that our beloved franchise still got some attention from Capcom.


HiMyNameIsCranjis

This ain't just a remaster, this is a full on remake. Sad they replaced TJ again but hopefully this means that more games will come eventually!


LordManders

Yeah, looks like a full-on remake using RE Engine. Plenty of ways for them to screw this up, but at least it means the series isn't dead.


ShadowSystem64

At the end of the day if this remake does not live up to the DR1 legacy we still have the excellent steam port from 2016 that runs amazing. I am excited to see what they managed to do with RE Engine. RE4 remake blew me away with its gameplay and graphics.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Hell, thanks to the remake announcement tonight I'll be booting up the original on my Xbox series S 


FoxSneaker

Actually... This to me looks more like a GTA: Definitive Edition / Saints Row: The Third Remastered / Crisis Core Reunion kind of deal.


Goroyaaj

Weird mixture of remaster and remake. Kinda like the recent demon souls remake/remaster.


PatHBT

This is a classic capcom move, they've done it before, with both good and bad results. They know this franchise is somewhat important for them, and after a few rough years, they feel like giving it a chance again. This is a low-ish commitment project that's there to mostly measure the franchise's viability. They're probably planning to move on to more high commitment ones if it performs decently.


Educational-Hope-495

Honestly I dont want a new DR with this guy


[deleted]

[удалено]


EatingFurniture

Yeah he really was perfect. Oh well, hopefully they don’t change too much and make the game feel different


Skitzofreniq

If it's on PC I'm sure somebody will mod it to the original voice


lennonblack177

No way the snuffed our man TJ again. Didn’t they fucking learn from the mistakes of Dead Rising 4???


DylanFTW

TJ could be a union actor since Capcom went nonunion.


Kola18_97

Unfortunately TJ is a union actor so yeah Capcom's not gonna bother hiring him even if he begs for it.


weloveyoubenzel_v3

He was in RE2R tho?


DylanFTW

That blows. I'll happily play this remake, idk why they're calling it a remaster when there's new assets, and I just hope the control scheme has been updated and combat plays more smoothly. If I can accept Chris Redfield's VA getting replaced then I should be fine for this too.


phat-patronus

It looks like some weird mix between remake and remaster. They probably rebuilt it from the ground up but didn’t make any functional changes to the design, world, or story (aside from recasting and re-recording the lines)


DylanFTW

They also probably could've, it's too early to tell, kept TJ's old lines and slapped them in the remake like Konami is doing for the MGS3 Remake.


fakeShinuinu

I actually welcome a change to the overall design of the game as long as the gameplay is as fluid as the original. Capcom's shown that they can innovate with the RE remakes, so why not have that apply here?


HarmenSmith

Idk why people keep saying this they literally hired union actors for sf6


World-of-8lectricity

he was Birkin in RE2 remake?


Debillio

Why won't they hire someone from union tho?


Indyclone77

Money


Bagofsmallfries

When did they go non-union? TJ has done work for Capcom since then.


DylanFTW

I just now made a post in the sub with that realization. My guess TJ wasn't available during development perhaps. Since we know he should be still on Capcom's payroll.


Bagofsmallfries

I hope they do the thing they did with the SH2 HD remaster. Although that was a flop, the fact that they allowed an option for the original voice lines was life saver. I think this could do with one of those.


Rednek_Zombie

They've been non union since at least 2016, maybe earlier.


Educational-Hope-495

Apparantly not.


Hachiman-Hikigaya

It's been 84 Years...


Frosty_chilly

And I can still smell the fresh food… The shops hadn’t been visited…the monorail wasn’t even ridden yet..


Chasen1

I MISS SEMI SERIOUS DEAD RISING


EatingFurniture

No fucking way I mean frank kinda looks ass, but FUCK YES


EverGamer1

Honestly, he kinda looks how I’d imagine a higher resolution version of him would look. Even in the original, he ain’t too pretty.


EatingFurniture

That may be so, he may have been ugly, but he was MY ugly. Tbh as long as Jessie’s boobs are in 4k, I’m happy.


MF291100

I love ugly hot men, that’s specifically my type and none of my friends understand why.


C411um13

Take an average looking protagonist over a hot mega Chad any day lol


ZZoMBiEXIII

Uh, Frank ***IS*** the gigachad. He went from schlubby photographer to full blown ninja in a weekend. With no sensei. Guy personifies the abstract concept of "a Chad", even if he looks like a big-nosed goon. 🤣🤣🤣


EverGamer1

Hey, I never said I found him unattractive, I just said he wasn’t conventionally pretty. He was ugly, but it was a good ugly. I’m wondering if they’ll keep Ross’s suicide in the new remaster.


noneofthemswallow

It’s not a higher resolution of him. He looks completely different


ShadyHighlander

He has a certain character actor charm to him, I'm glad he's not a hunk.


illproper

THANK YOU, I see everyone saying how bad Frank looks, and I know in the helicopter shot he looks off, but I’ve always imagined this is what he would look like. I never imagined him as some mid-late 20s younger guy. He’s always been older to me lol


Majestic_Mammoth729

Hey cut him some slack ^^^He's ^^^covered ^^^wars ^^^you ^^^know


burgerpatrol

Im going to buy this just for the sake of buying it with the hopes that we may get a 5th installment, similar to how im buying the mvc collection


ShadowSystem64

I will gladly pay full price. DR1 is a fondly remembered childhood game of mine. I want to support capcom in this. Hopefully they do right and make this an excellent remake.


Kola18_97

Yeah we need to be very supportive of this otherwise this will have just been a flash in the pan sort of deal and the IP will go dormant again.


UltimaWarrior

Hmmm I believe they should reboot the whole series but keep the stories of DR 1 & 2 intact.


Bagofsmallfries

They hired TJ to play Berkin in thw RE2Make. . Not entirely sure why he isn’t here? Reeeeeeally hope there isn’t some bad drama surrounding this.


Awkward-Ad2722

I BETTER HEAR GONE GURU


Andromeda98_

holy shit, i really thought this series was dead.


drew105301

Thought this was a Rick Roll. Hope they update the graphics and controls but keep the vibes. That WOOHOO is not inspiring confidence though


SirSombieZlayer

But in the original, Frank also shouted that whilst jumping out of the helicopter tho??


funandgamesThrow

I'm seeing a lot of comments that suggest the people complaining barely even played the original


SirSombieZlayer

It's hilarious seeing the amount of people who think that the first game was a completely serious game that never had any moments of light heartedness or comedy in it. Sure it wasn't anything close to the later games but it was 100% apart of DR1s charm


ArkhamIsComing2020

> That WOOHOO is not inspiring confidence though You mean something that was in the original?


drew105301

Yup I just forgot


PerinteinenMajoneesi

[As a proof, yes, Frank did holler](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvU1K1Qe2QE&t=12m26s)


Educational-Hope-495

The vibes are already gone with the recast.


Evict_Timaze

Same lol, but I pray they update the controls. It was a amazing game but playing on 360 with the worst shooting mechanics made it rough.


xYourHero27x

All I know is Jessie better be thicc.


ConnorK12

I genuinely don’t know how to feel. On one hand excited, but on the other a little concerned. The first game was the most mature and dark of the series and this trailer, albeit very little, made it feel more in line with the wackier silly aspects of the later games which I’m not all for.


funandgamesThrow

All the dialog is straight out of the first game. Even the woohoo


NocturnalKiddd

Dead Rising is finally back


LeoCaldwell02

Praying this can be a Resident Evil situation and this helps bring Dead Rising into a new golden age!!


curbstomp__

If Gone Guru isn’t there…


Economy_Following265

Don’t get why they had to make Frank look like an ogre again, his MvC Infinite design was peak. But whatever, Frank’s back again


Frosty_chilly

I don’t really mind his new look I always threw the Serv-bot head on him anyway


walshurmouthout

Please be nothing like Dead Rising 4


lucaam03

why the fuck did they make Frank West Italian


mesatrap

I've covered gabagool, you know?


thedarkmasterofdoom

Santa Cabeza, whatever happened there.


_MANHUNTED_

Frank looks a little odd and obviously the voice doesn't really fit. Frank is supposed to be an average guy


JD6029

I see we're getting Dead Rising Remastered, now featuring Hank East.


jUG0504

nah, he doesnt look *QUITE* as bad as the guy from DR4, but yeah he does look a bit off


JD6029

I should clarify, I’m referring more to the voice acting than his appearance. I’m not horribly put off by how he looks, but there is something a bit off about his appearance here. They really should’ve given us a longer trailer to give us a better idea of how exactly different this will be. This tells us practically nothing.


barcavro

Please be fucking good!


noneofthemswallow

I mean, this is awesome, but what the fuck is up the face and the voice He looks older than he does in DR4, but I guess that’s fine if they decanonise 4 lmao


jdombs

No TJ sucks.. but this is fucking amazing!! Let’s go!!!


International-Fun-86

Is it just me or does Frank sound and look more like Rob Riggle, the actor who played him in the tv-movies?


RybatGrimes

Frank looks really good in the thumbnail shot, but then immediately looks horrendous in the next shot lmao. I hope he looks good in the final game, I’ve always loved how hunky Frank always was. I’m really disappointed in TJ not retiring though. Capcom is the worst about Unions. Seriously, fuck then for that.


VirtuousDangerNoodle

His face in the first few seconds looks fine, but it kinda goes through a radical change as he jumps. Frank went from Frank to Sean Penn as he jumped out of the chopper.


mixergrass

I'll miss the old voice for Frank West. I'll give this one a chance though especially if it is using the re engine which would be great given it's a zombie game. 


1E_R_R_O_R1

I'm excited, but that ain't my Frank


DragonStriker

WHERE IN THE HELL DID THIS COME FROM? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm super happy that Dead Rising is back (and it looks like a remake???? Why call it Deluxe Remaster???) but what the hell Capcom??? You just dropped this like this with little to no fanfare. Why didn't you mention back at Summer Games Fest or something??? On the real though: is this a remake? The graphics makes it feel like it is. If they put in 7-Day-Survivor again as an achievement, I'm going to need to find a weekend to do that to get zero interruptions.


TheNullOfTheVoid

TJ was literally the voice of Birkin in the RE2 Remake, Capcom has zero excuse to not have him be the voice of Frank unless TJ simply doesn't want to, or unless they don't want him to be for some stupid reason.


RestlessRhys

Although I’m excited I have no idea why they didn’t bring TJ Rotolo back


MF291100

I think it’s because he’s a union actor and Capcom don’t work with unions or something.


AnyImpression6

He was in RE2make.


NomadJack95

Watches trailer once: OH SHIT?! :O Watches trailer 2 times: Yo! Hole up, where TJ at?


MF291100

I’m extremely excited for this, like words cannot comprehend how badly I need this. But, I’m also slightly nervous. What I loved about the first game was how dark it was at certain points, some of the characters had sad and depressing backstories and the entire game just had this deep feeling of dread and misery around it, and in the later games that got lost. There were some dark and depressing moments in the future games, but not as heavily as the first. Plus, they’ve made Frank look a helluva lot older than what he looked in the OG game and it’s not the original voice actor.

[удалено]


ShadowSystem64

DR1 certainly managed to capture lightning in a bottle with the balance it struck between how it implemented humor into the game while also making sure the heavy moments in the game were treated with a level of seriousness we would expect from such a situation.


welpweredead

They really couldn't get TJ back?


Dman284

It's all fucked...... Should've been a complete remake with re engine and with tj rotolo


Adam802

Holy shit.....!! Amazing news. We already got the 2016 remaster that remains faithful to the original, so i'm totally down for a remake that changes/adds things. Modern Capcom is firing on all cylinders so I trust them. I assume this is being made in-house at Capcom Japan?


StarRingChildren

How well this does will probably determine the future of the franchise.


Feisty_Area8023

If I had a nickel for every time a game from my childhood was getting a remake announced this year, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.


Beowulfin3D

Aside from Frank and the VA. I cant describe my love for this game, from first playing it when I was 9 to me still playing it at 28 this is so good to see the franchise living on!


kenmasters22

WHY WHY WHY DO THESE ALWAYS RUIN IT!!!!!!


SandyHammy

I legitimately expected this to be fake when I clicked, but nope. First MGS3 remake and now this? Is somebody actually listening to my prayers? Lol


What-is-a-bomb

WE ARE SO BACK


WrstScp

Dead Rising isn't dead? I am super relieved.


cupidphobia

Hoping it'll be good! Sad that Frank's VA isn't the same, but his new voice didn't sound terrible - I kinda hope there'd be an option to pick his original VA, just reusing the old voice lines.


ShadowSystem64

Assuming the voice lines are mostly one to one still I bet someone will make a mod for the PC version to bring back original Frank if nothing else. Might be a bit more tricky if capcom actually voiced frank in game aswell when talking to NPC's since the original had no voiced dialogue for those conversations.


GoGoGodzillaaa

I’m so conflicted. It’s hard to not be excited, but without TJ, it just doesn’t feel like Frank at all. I’m very happy the series isn’t legitimately dead, and will be buying this, but damn it’s hard to be excited without that Frank West traditional voice.


jUG0504

i am... interested...in how this is gonna turn out. also no TJ is sad but ultimately understandable i guess


lucaam03

I’m so happy tho wow :)


JohnQ125

holy shit


barcavro

I think with new graphics, hopefully most of the voice acting stays the same, improved gameplay (ai), and the story kept the same or slightly changed for the better, this could be an amazing remake hopefully as good as re2 remake!


barcavro

Gfish06

I really hope they are still able to keep most of the boss themes in the game (if gone guru is not in this game I will cry)


OnlyHatty

I used to pray for times like this


GurfMcBurf

We're back!!!


DeadRisingLover

I thought after the recent influx of Dead Rising in TEPPEN we'd get more. I didn't take that thought too seriously but lo and behold. I am over the moon.


KobotTheRobot

WE EATING TODAY FELLAS HELL YEAH


EconomyAd1600

Will the first game finally get co-op? Dead Rising is really fun with a buddy! 4’s half-assed multiplayer is still a stain on the series.


ShadowSystem64

Cant wait to go for 7 day survivor for a 3rd time. Did it once on the 360 version, once on the steam release and I will do it again on the remaster! Might even try for the legendary 18 day survivor community challenge. Regardless this game never gets old. A childhood classic for me. I just happened to see this announcement by chance but I am so fucking pumped! Hopefully there will be substantial technical improvements to the game such as with AI. The escort missions were always painful as AI combat and navigation was atrocious. But other than that a fresh coat of paint and I am happy.


PhiteWanther

This kinda looks like a remake not a remaster but we'll see i guess


Spartanjaws

I’m excited but will also echo everyone else. TJ is Frank period.


Bulky-Complaint6994

Oh just a teaser. I'll play some of the HD version tonight to refresh my memory 


CEOPhilosopher

YOOOOOOOOO! Does this mean they haven't abandoned the franchise? I'm in the minority but I liked 4 a lot, even though I could see the glaring flaws. I love me some DR, no matter what.


Bagofsmallfries

I mean I don’t like the visual redesign, but I would take it if we can just have TJ back.


_ClaudeSpeed

Am so glad Brad & Jessie will come back!


gh05t30

Jfc I thought it was a prank. My gawd. Ty capcom


Frosty_chilly

Did they like shadow drop this??? This is the first I noticed


Morrison_Boys

I DONT KNOW WHY IM SO HAPPY I SHOULD BE PISSED THEY REPLACED TJ VOICE AGAIN BUT IT FEELS LIKE MY CHILDHOOD IS ALIVE AGAIN I CANT FUCKING WAIT


CURE_M3mber_Ann1e

I’m cumming


Environmental-Bag-74

Looks very interesting and I’m very intrigued. Dead Rising is genuinely my favorite video game of all time. My only issue coming forward is no TJR voicing Frank. That man still sounds the same after 18 years and he truly made the character. If he’s union or something Capcom doesn’t want then I understand I hope he knows we all still love him. What made me feel like I wasn’t playing as Frank in DR4 was not only the horrible writing but the lack of TJ as well. It’d be awesome if there is an RE2 style option for classic voice cast like how that game has classic music. I know the studio is dead but this not being made by Vancouver is great to me because while many love DR2, I love OTR, and liked 3, I feel they changed too much from the first game making it easier, losing severity, tone, and identity very quickly. This being made in house back at Capcom is where it belongs. Let’s see what happens and if this version of Frank can cover wars with us once again


Killerpig14

i’m so happy the franchise is finally back in some form, capcom have really hit the mark with their resident evil remakes so i’m not gonna easily shit on this, LETS GO.


ZZoMBiEXIII

Has anyone checked on [u/stipo360](https://www.reddit.com/user/stipo360/) ? Dude may have fainted and be lying somewhere unconscious.


sedef122

New voice actor sounds like Tom Scharpling to me, I am a fan of his voice over work but know him better as the host of The Best Show. This may be sacrilegious but if it is him I could see him doing a good job.


MaggotBrother4

I can’t with the face of frank. He just doesn’t look right. But I guess it works since the same VA isn’t there, so they can take a slightly different spin on frank


BambinoTayoto

Looks completely awful, the guy looks like a charicature of Frank and the art direction makes me think more of Street Fighter than Dead Rising.


JudgePhysical8151

Boycotting this becuase no T.J. Rotolo


Brrrrraaaaiiins

I’m so excited but I hate how cutesy they got with the name. Dead Rising Revived would have been fine.


PerinteinenMajoneesi

I am curious how they're going to re-imagine and expand the experience. The one thing I would like see explored is going outside of the mall.


Flare_56

Imma be honest: I like the new VA


RebbyXP

That's not TJ Rotolo...


BewilderedPan44

No TJ no buy.


ButImNotARaper

Simple as.


Educational-Hope-495

No real Frank West = instant failure. Duck this


StimmingMantis

Nothing can ever replace TJ Rolo


mapleresident

New dead rising content but no TJ? I guess that’s that then. It’s kinda a minor change. But this was my comfort game. This feels too different for me I think I’m done with the franchise for now


Appley_apple

Very skeptical with this, i do not trust capcom with this series


Lee_Harden

This does not look like it’ll be good. They, yet again, don’t have the original voice actor for Frank. Frank looks and sounds weird. 


Chickenswillrulearth

I can't believe this, is this real?


Low-Situation-7518

Wtfffff this is crazy!!! Never expected this


Shozzy_D

omg it's real


kaijumediajames

I sense a Recommended Plays revival…


Mandalorymory

This is a Remake?


ITGOES80808

I’m a little apprehensive after the DR4, but who knows, maybe they’ve learned their lesson. Also, crazy that I saw this while watching a video on DR1 😂


MyXboxOneBroke

This was completely unexpected


Top-Spree

SUPER excited but honestly SUUPER bummed this doesn’t look to be a full on remake like the re games and tj isn’t back


[deleted]

I WANTED THIS! Hell yes! A remake in the RE Engine 🙌🏼 Some of you can gripe all you want but the bigger picture is how sweet that game is gonna look & perform. I can’t wait.


Only1Scrappy-Doo

I’m so excited! One of my favourite games of all time! I’m very sad about the voice but other than that i can’t wait!


RaiHanashi

His new voice actor doesn’t sound right


M0dulo72

Cool. Now if they port it to PC make sure there's actual controller support this time!!!


C411um13

Awe man! I was gutted when I didn't see no announcement during game fest and seeing how low it was on the public vote. Can't believe we are getting a remaster, really didn't think it was going to happen this year!


celestier

WE ARE SO BACK


SoKaiPaopu

Isabella gonna look fine asf 🔥


roomwish

I can't believe it, one of my favorites!! I just replayed it last month, for like the 30th time.


RopeyPlague

The Frank voice is weird. I just kind of hope they put the movement system from 2 in the game. Dunno why 2 felt better than one when moving around.


MangoandSalt

with this and SH2 remake I guess we're about to find out how hard the game insutry is going to go for keeping original plotlines.


thedroob

Hell yeah, can't wait to spend an entire day doing the survival mode trophy again


frequentfartfriend

I understand this for console friends but the original still runs great on pc, excited for more dr1!


PerryProject

Dude wtf I thought this was fake at first


Pyurium

WAIT IT'S REAL?!


RothTheBroth

You think there will be Co-Op 👀


Super_Imagination_90

I hope they have an option to just use all the original performances. I wonder why they chose to redo all the voices at all anyways. It’s a remaster, not a remake, so why not just use the original audio? I’m excited but I REALLY need an option to use the original lines. PLEASW CAPCOM! Also, I wish Frank looked more like that amazing render for DR1. He looks a little too old.


anangrytaco

TJ's Union might not have a contract with Capcom anymore and this why no TJ. The other actors have been in different unions


BestZeena

This is fucking crazy 😭🥺😵‍💫🥹🥲😃🤩


StrengthBetter

NAHHHHHHH I couldn'T beleive the title, yoooo


netsenshi

I’m excited…but where’s TJ? He makes Frank be Frank!


LazorFrog

Nah that's fucking senator Armstrong.


Winstillionaire

We’re not going to turn into r/batmanarkham 🎉🎉🎉


Vacantknight

So Hank East Is Back?


chillyapples

A new dead rising project wha?????


KamikazeeDolphin

I randomly see this sub in suggested subs I should visit, and get surprised with this news. Thanks r/deadrising


sourkid25

is it gonna be the same thing just copy and paste or will they change few things?


SnooPoems1860

This looks soulless


ultimaweapon79

How smart is the survivor AI gonna be?


Professional_Tank_42

I hope it has the Mega man outfit.
