Posting some media I found on 4chan:
As someone who not only completed the game to 100% and put dozens if not hundreds of hours into it, but also did so very recently, I think I'm in a unique position to talk about the game from experience while it's still fresh in my head, versus someone who has nostalgia clouding their judgement or only played the game a few years ago. This is what I think:
The game isn't going to be as good as people think. We're already seeing the cracks, between censorship, uglification, technical issues, easing us into microtransactions, worse VA and denuvo. While the game won't be horrible, it will be shilled to kingdom come and mindless cattle/capcom fanboys will worship the ground it walks on. This is going to a repeat of Resident Evil 4's remake and it's controversies, but on a smaller and more concentrated scale: There is less Dead Rising fans than Resident Evil fans and the franchise is somewhat niche, especially the first game that is a cult classic. This means that a lot of the fans are going to get very defensive about any changes(especially for the worse) and will not be appealed to as easily as with the Resident Evil fandom, that has a lot more mainstream fanbase. Moreover, unless Capcom MASSIVELY dumbs down the game for casuals like they did with Dead Rising 3(which is very probable), this one won't have much staying power among your average gamer.
The opinions on the 'cuck are already very divisive: Most people seem to hate it and those that don't absolutely love it, those usually fall into the category of a blatant shill(sometimes one that doesn't speak English well or is clearly an outsider to 4chan) or someone who never played Dead Rising before and doesn't know better(shown off in one of the screenshots above).
There isn't really anything you can do, the game will come out and be praised by the usual suspects, then it will be forgotten in a few weeks just like the much hyped RE4 remake...that most people moved on from because Resident Evil 4 itself is much more replayable and enjoyable, not to mention it has much more content and is available on more devices(and for cheaper).
My advice is to buy/pirate the Steam version as soon as you can, just in case Crapcom takes it down. I have my 360 copy from way back still so this doesn't concern me, but I wouldn't trust this company in the slightest. Don't expect mods to save it either, you can go to the Starfield thread to see how that went for Bethesda.
Now, let's check in with probably the most influential Dead Rising fan in the world for a moment:
Well, this is his favorite game, of course he's going to get excited. I still have my doubts, I haven't seen anyone praise the actual graphics and visuals that didn't sound like charlatan and this is my problem here. It doesn't help that he released the video on the remake, and, well, it sounds more like an advertisement rather than genuine praise to me. You be the judge.
He seems to be throwing the game's visuals under the bus rather quickly, for how much he praised the game for all these years. I bet he will also be talking how much the new demake improved upon characters and story, despite him also praising the original's as near perfection for years.
Speaking of his content, I can't exactly prove it, but I swear there were more videos on his channel. I saw comments asking him why he privated some of this videos, and now those comments are gone too. So much for being a preservationist.
I think he has been bought out, just like Sphere Hunter and Maximillian, to be an influencer and promote the game. I could be wrong, of course, but as someone who has been following this dude on and off over the years, he seems way too happy for how many problems this remake has. This could just be blind consoomerism as he is drawn to the game blindly by nostalgia, ironically enough like one of the game's zombies, but I've seen people sellout too many times to not notice the signs. Take what he says about the game with a grain of salt, he sounds very much like that troon Sphere Hunter when praising the upcoming game.
Well, I think I had my fill of Dead Rising for a while, Dead Rising 1 anyways. I'm finishing up Dead Rising 2 trilogy(if you include the Xbox Live exclusive Case Zero and Case West episodes, which are going down forever as Xbox Live store itself is shutting down by the end of the month btw) so I'm either gonna move on to Off The Record, Dead Rising 3 or even Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 since that game has Frank in it(much more faithful Frank than this one too) and I haven't played that in a hot minute. Demake or no, I will be fine, I'm all tired out from the Willamette mall and am content in sitting back and awaiting any potential drama, just like we've seen with the Resident Evil demakes. You should do the same, be it if you're looking forward to the game or not, don't expect anything amazing. The original will be superior, and this is not going to replace that experience anytime soon. I have my doubts if the game will be bad enough to receive yet another crowbcat video(Dead Rising 4 received 2 if I am not mistaken) but it will definitely be another overhyped 10/10 as crapcom shills and influencers tell you to forget the original title and accept the new one. Again, we've seen it happen before and it will happen again, there is a reason why Capcom fanboys in particular are memed on so much. Much like with Resident Evil 4 remake, I think we will see some conflicting opinions, but when the honeymoon season wears off, I doubt there will be anyone(other than maybe Stipo) who will claim that the new remake is better than the original.
