Capcom Asks Fans If They Would Like To See More 'Deluxe Remasters'

Following the return of Dead Rising last week

by Liam Doolan 3:55am

Following the recent release of the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Capcom has now put out a new survey, asking fans what other "deluxe remaster" titles they would like to see in the future.

In this survey, Capcom asks "would you like to see more 'deluxe remaster' titles like this [Dead Rising] in the future?', with remasters being defined as games with improved playability and updated graphics (thanks VGC).

Individuals who don't want this are apparently then asked if they would prefer a "full remake" over a "deluxe remaster, or if they would settle with a basic remaster featuring improved resolution.

Capcom also goes on to ask participants what series they'd like to see get this kind of deluxe remaster makeover - with options like Devil May Cry, Darkstalkers, Okami and Resident Evil. Capcom also asks if players would be up for more Dead Rising games including brand-new entries.

So, what Capcom games would you like to see receive the deluxe remaster treatment? Let us know in the comments.

I don’t know what everyone else thinks but I think this reliance on remasters is going to slowly kill of the gaming industries creativity. The suits who decide what gets made won’t fund the making of new ips and we’ll just be getting games with a new lick of paint on them.

@DaddyDuder On the flip side, the only new (well, sort of, it was just kind of a weird Dino Crisis game) IP Capcom has tried as of late has been Exoprimal...

Oh, I guess Pragmata, too, but no one still has any idea what the hell that is.

@DaddyDuder Totally agree with you and we’re already seeing the ramifications of it in the industry. That said, Capcom’s actually been one of the better ones about remakes, as RE pretty much wrote the book on how to do one respectfully and bring a game into the modern age beyond just being a new coat of paint.

@somnambulance yeah I agree that the capcom res remasters/ remakes are good and I really enjoyed 4’s remake. But its still a sad sign of the times when companies aren’t making bangers like they used too. As the industry gotten bigger so has the influences of the suits in charge.

I don't feel like Capcom have enough seventh gen era games worth a "deluxe remaster", when they could be doing a full remake of the first two Dino Crisis games.

If they're going for a deluxe remaster, I wouldn't mind Resident Evil 6, as its already pretty modern so doesn't need a full remake. Other than that, maybe giving Viewtiful Joe another go?

Edit: Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen elevated to match DD2 would be cool too.

Always had this on my mind, it would be VERY INTERESTING to see Capcom remaster DMC2 with alternative story and totally overhauled combat (remake i guess considering the effort needed) to do the title justice and live up to the series as it always meant to be.

I’d prefer the grand, full on remake treatment for RE:0 and RE: Code Veronica. RE5 and RE6 are rubbish, so hopefully they won’t waste the time or money on them and instead do something like Dino Crisis or maybe something a bit more obscure like Viewtiful Joe.
