After Dead Rising, Capcom asks players if they want more ‘deluxe remasters’
Capcom has launched a survey designed to gauge consumer interest in more “deluxe remaster” titles.
The survey was made available to coincide with last week’s release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, which Capcom has billed as “practically a remake” of 2006’s original game.
Powered by its RE Engine, the remaster boasts modern graphics, updated character models, expanded language support, revamped controls, and quality of life improvements like auto-saving.
Capcom asks survey respondents: “Would you like to see more ‘deluxe remaster’ titles like this in the future? (‘Deluxe remasters’ are defined as remasters with improved playability and updated graphics (including new 3D models).)”
If not, the survey asks players whether they’d prefer a full remake over a deluxe remaster, or whether a simple remaster with improved resolution to meet current hardware standards would be sufficient.
Players are also asked if there are there particular series that they’d like to see get the deluxe remaster treatment.
Options available to respondents include Lost Planet, Devil May Cry, Power Stone, Resident Evil, Onimusha, Darkstalkers, and Okami.
Players are also asked whether they want to see more Dead Rising games released, and if so, in what form (deluxe remaster, remake or a brand-new series entry).
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s Standard Edition costs $49.99/£39.99 – £44.99/€49.99, while the game’s Digital Deluxe Edition is priced at $59.99 USD/£49.99/€59.99. Capcom wants to know what players think about this pricing structure too.
It’s not the first time this year Capcom has asked players if they want to see sequels or remakes for certain current and old series.
VGC’s Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster review called the game “the perfect setup for a new sequel”.
“Ultimately, by the time we’d finished Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, we were ready for what’s next. A Dead Rising 2 Deluxe Remaster would go down a treat and is likely to follow, but what we really want is Dead Rising 5.”
