Summary
Dead Rising Deluxe Remasterwill no longer reward players for taking risque photos of humans and zombies, as it’s gotten rid of one of the original game’s photography categories.
From what we’ve seen of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster so far,it seems like it’s keeping most of the 2006 game’s content intactwhile adding in somequality-of-life features to make things a little more accessible after 18 years. That being said, there have already been a few examples of things being edited to represent how tastes have changed over the years.
One example of this is Larry the Butcher, whose appearance has beencompletely swapped from his original design due to it being an offensive caricature. Beyond that, it also seems that Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is toning down some of the 2006 game’s sexual content,including changing Cherly’s outfit to be less revealing. That’s just the first step, though.
As pointed out by VGCandreported by Famitsu, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has somewhat unsurprisingly removed the original game’s “Erotica” photography category. In the 2006 release, Frank would be rewarded for taking risque photos of zombies and humans,which would result in him getting experience points as well as a nosebleed.
Although taking those types of photos was mostly optional and up to the player, it was a mandatory part of some missions such as Kent’s photography quest and when Frank is asked to take photos of Cheryl after rescuing her. It seems that Capcom is going to tweak those objectives now that the category has been removed altogether.
Capcom hasn’t said anything about the category officially so far, but Famitsu has reported that it’s been removed from the Deluxe Remaster version of the game. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering it hasn’t appeared in any of the gameplay showcases so far and is very much a relic of the past. I’m sure that won’t stop some terminally-online people from getting annoyed about it though.
Outside of that category being removed, photography has seen a number of improvements in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, as players can apply tones and filters to their photos.
Funnily enough, it wasn’t just the original Dead Rising that rewarded naughty photos, as Dead Rising 2: Case West and Off The Record also brought back the mechanic, despite having released several years after the original. It seems that now the series is coming back for good, Capcom would rather leave that part of the series behind for good.
