(Quick Note: I'm writing this after I completed my first playthrough of the story mode.)

A well done "remake" of the original. The graphics, mainly pertaining to the facial animations of the main cast, really do help sell their emotions during cutscenes. The gameplay, with it's small tweaks and additions, really did make it fun to go through Willamette Mall once again!

A nice new addition, was the way they handled clothing! Having clothing you put on be saved to the lockers in the Security Room, and having certain clothes tied to achievements, makes me want to keep playing! I want to go through all the achievements, just to see what clothes they unlock. However, I do miss some of the suit recolors we had, right at the start of the original game. I wish they were still there...perhaps a few might be tied to achievements this time around?

The new voice actors did a solid performance, though I'd still prefer to have the original VAs again (whether it's the actual audio from the OG game, or a re-record with the old VAs.) I especially enjoyed that every survivor you came across, had a voice this time around. It really did make me care more about them, than I did in the original. Especially because they're no longer annoying to escort! xD The smarter AI for survivors was VERY VERY APPRECIATED...

I got used to Jas Patrick's voice for Frank West rather quickly! If we do get future Dead Rising games that include Frank, I would still prefer if TJ Rotolo could return to playing the character. Also, if there can be an update to this game, where they bring back TJ and possibly the rest of the old cast, that'd be FANTASTIC!

Honestly, I think the two new VAs that stood out the most, were Tiana Camacho as Isabela Keyes, & Kevin Andrew Rivera as Adam MacIntyre! Tiana felt right in the role, & Kevin's sounded so close to the original performance! I'm amazed how well they pulled it off.

I'm gonna get more playthroughs in, and I hope newcomers to the franchise do pick this up! If this game sells well, I really do hope it means that we can get actual sequels, and/or a "deluxe remaster" of all of Dead Rising 2 (DR2, DR2 OTR, Case Zero, & Case West)! If we do get DR2 again, please try to get some of the original main cast in this time!

Again, I hope this game sells well, and thank you Capcom for attempting to faithfully revive this franchise! Let's hope it works! <3

#FIXTF2 They seem to be doing something about the bots, so I would suggest trying Casual again? I do want to see if this will last though...

When I got this game on U10, I thought it was one of the greatest VR games of all time.

After the End Update, leaving Early Access...it's still one of the best. Having a progression mode for this game, is incredible to play through. Once I'm done with my vanilla play through, I'd love to see how some mods could affect the new game mode.

The main story is incredible. Gameplay is fun as hell. After playing the first game on a PS3, I was worried they wouldn't do K&M controls justice, but they did! Now if only they ported the first game to Steam...

Red Dead Online can certainly be fun, but if you don't know already, it's not as dense as GTA Online. They won't make major updates anymore either, so you just gotta enjoy what's here. I probably won't be playing Online for years on end, but I'll enjoy the time I have regardless.

One of the greatest Star Wars content in recent memory. Playing as a Light Side Sith Warrior, is super interesting. It's worth giving a bit of money for some cosmetics. ;o
