Dead Rising Is Alive on Steam

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Capcom’s Dead Rising franchise comes exciting news for both PC gamers and those unfortunate enough to still be gaming on their potatoes…umm…I mean consoles.

Owners of either the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will be pleased to have the shuffling dead-infested, zombie outbreak classic that started it all, Dead Rising, getting released alongside its sequels, Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record. This isn’t just a simple re-release of the games that have already been out on the earlier console generation. This time around, all three games received a boost in fidelity, bringing the gory fun-tastic carnage to the world of Full HD (1080p) and a smooth 60 fps, along with every previously released costume DLC.

You might be thinking “Wait…how is this news? We had 1080p 60 fps or above options already” which is true, we already had all of that back when Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record first hit the PC platform in 2010. What we didn’t have however, was the first and arguably the best in the series, the original Dead Rising starring the one and only, Mr. Frank “Fannnnnnnnnnnntastic” West!

For those who can count will notice that Steam now has all four Dead Rising games available for purchase, the latter of the bunch being Dead Rising 3, released in 2014. All that remains is the upcoming Dead Rising 4, slated for a December 6th release, unfortunately, at this time it still remains a Windows 10 and Xbox One timed exclusive, with no date on when or if those of us using Steam will get our grubby little mitts on it.

Official Press Release

Dead Rising is celebrating its zombie-infested 10^th Anniversary with the release of the hilariously terrifying outbreaks that started it all, as Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record are out now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 across Europe and North America. The original Dead Rising is also available on Steam as a digital download beginning today. All three titles return to take advantage of the current generation hardware systems, bringing all of the zombie slaying action up a gory-ous 1080p at 60 fps. Each new version of the game also includes all of the additional previously-released DLC costumes. What a time to be undead!

Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as a Steam version of the original Dead Rising, are available now as individual download titles for €19.99 / £15.99 / $19.99.

Dead Rising

The original that started it all! Explore expansive indoor and outdoor areas of the Willamette Mall and use anything to fend off the hordes of enemies, including makeshift weapons like golf clubs, lawnmowers, frying pans, and more. Use Frank’s photojournalistic skills to capture the insanity on film; the better the shot, the better the reward will be!

Dead Rising 2

The sequel to the smash hit features new protagonist, motorcycle racer Chuck Greene, as he visits a seedy casino town called Fortune City. The game first introduces weapon combinations like the “Portamower” and “Paddlesaw,” two player co-op, and four player gladiator battles to the Dead Rising series.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

Frank West returns and takes center stage in the reimagining of the Fortune City incident from Dead Rising 2. The added Sandbox Mode allows players to freely explore the city and participate in challenges, while Frank’s photo skills and new camera features capture all of the violent and hilarious action.

Dead Rising 4

Frank West makes his heroic return to Willamette to investigate a new zombie outbreak during the holiday season. Dead Rising 4 comes to Xbox One and Windows 10 on December 6, 2016.

Happy zombie slaying!

Dead Rising's are painfully slow in the beginning. The fun starts when you can start mowing the zombies down in masses.

I played this for about an hour last night, I gotta admit, overall, it looks pretty damn good for a 10 year old Xbox 360 Exclusive, especially after adding some Ambient Occlusion and running it at 2160p/70fps and a glorious SweetFX makeover :)
