In 2006, a contract photojournalist named Frank West leapt from a helicopter and into our hearts, on a lone mission to uncover the news behind the mysterious zombie infestation plaguing Willamette, Colorado. Positive, he may’ve ended up trapped in a shopping center with an undead horde for 3 days, however by no means underestimate Frank—he is coated wars, you realize. Quickly, we’ll be reliving Frank’s best 72 hours once more in Lifeless Rising Deluxe Remaster, introduced by Capcom earlier at present.
Lifeless Rising Deluxe Remaster’s teaser trailer reveal would not go away us with many particulars, except for promising “an up to date launch with a model new look.” It is a small piece of the unique sport’s opening, exhibiting Frank’s helicopter journey as he approaches the now-fabled Willamette Parkview Mall with up to date visuals. Frank appears phenomenal—Lifeless Rising 4 gave him an unforgivable motion hero-ass visible overhaul, however DRDR is returning Frank West to his unique, everyman look. Frank West shouldn’t appear to be a heroic badass; Frank West has an terrible jacket and a progressing widow’s peak.
Fortunately, DRDR has Frank wanting common as hell, simply as God meant. Nevertheless, Lifeless Rising followers within the teaser trailer’s feedback are dismayed by how he sounds. Whereas there is not any official casting affirmation to go off of, the transient little bit of voice performing we hear within the teaser has some satisfied that TJ Rotolo, the English voice actor for Frank till Lifeless Rising 4, will not be reclaiming the position for the remaster. Whereas it hurts my coronary heart to know I may not hear the Frank of my youth sighing with aid after chugging scavenged orange juice for well being, I am going to must discover a approach to keep it up.
The teaser would not present a launch window or after we can count on extra particulars for Lifeless Rising Deluxe Remaster, so we are able to solely speculate about whether or not it will replace something past the graphics. Seeing the Willamette Mall’s ruined outlets and promenades with current-day visible constancy is greater than sufficient for me already, although. So long as I can nonetheless put on a Servbot head whereas bludgeoning zombies with a 2×4, I will be content material.
