Dead Rising Players Unhappy After Remaster Removes/Censors Sexual Content and More

As a seasoned gamer with memories of countless hours spent navigating the chaos of zombie-infested malls in the original Dead Rising, I must say, the remastered version leaves me a tad bittersweet. On one hand, I appreciate the game’s modernization, making it smoother and more visually appealing. However, on the other hand, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the quirks and eccentricities that made the original so unique.


The enhanced version of “Dead Rising Deluxe,” originally released by Capcom in 2006 and now remastered, debuted last week on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. For the most part, this remaster is primarily an upgrade that modernizes the game, distancing it from the roughness typical of gaming during the Xbox 360 era. However, it’s important to note “for the most part.” While the core elements of the original have remained unchanged, certain aspects of the game have been refined or even eliminated, passing through a modern filter in the process.

Among the notable adjustments are: taking off revealing undergarments on certain female characters, substituting Larry Chiang, altering Cheryl’s attire to be less suggestive, eliminating scenes of an erotic nature, and deleting a particularly provocative camera angle.

It’s not unexpected that these modifications have sparked criticism and resistance on certain corners of the web. However, given past experiences with game remasters and remakes, some of these adjustments, particularly those related to explicit or suggestive content, aren’t all that shocking.

The video below doesn’t contain all of the changes, but it highlights the most prominent. There are more though, including several dialogue changes.

A disappointed fan comments about a remastered piece: “Wow, they really butchered this restoration. It’s such a shame that in the process of making improvements, they would remove anything they didn’t prefer. While it’s acceptable to restore something, the goal should be to preserve the original material.

Capcom has yet to comment on these numerous adjustments, and it seems they are sticking to their decision not to speak about them. Should anything change, we’ll make sure to keep you informed. For additional information, follow this link.
