    Dead Rising 2 still feels like such a great improvement over the original and with this remastered version, most of the technical issues from the past console versions have been fixed.

    Overall it’s well worth revisiting Fortune City on your PS4.

    It's one of those games that pays back the time you invest into it at least double fold. Returning players won't find anything substantially new in this remaster aside from sharper image quality and better performance, but given the budget pricing here, that's a perfectly reasonable offer.

    Waiting for the fourth installment of the series, Capcom is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Dead Rising with a remastered version of the three adventures of Frank West and Chuck Greene. The renovation work does nothing but conform to today's standards, presenting the three episodes in high definition with a frame rate set to 60 fps.

But I can really feel that the original team from Dead Rising 1 are not in des... dead rising 2 is a Canadian team I think it's still good but oh my god, the first one is legendary. Here is the weird thing this game is much more smooth and has better gamefeel den Dead Rising 1, but it's a bad thing because it makes more scary that you have clunky controls. the first one is just more satisfying Expand
