Those exposed to the Dead Rising franchise for the first time via Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster may be happy to hear that the game has multiple installments. Dead Rising 2 and 3 do a great job of capturing the charm of the first game, while expanding the world.
The second game has you playing as former motocross champion Chuck Greene, this time in a combined casino and shopping complex, all while ensuring Greene’s daughter receives regular medication to prevent her turning into one of the undead.
For Dead Rising 3, you’re in control of mechanic Nick Ramos, in the sprawling fictional city of Los Perdidos, CA, in a much bigger, open-world setting.
There was never a Dead Rising 4. Don’t look for one. It’s better this way.
Hopefully, if this first Deluxe Remaster does well enough, we could also see both of these games reimagined for modern machines.
