When Dead Rising was released back in 2006, Americans consumed 28.1 billion pounds of meat. By the end of 2022, this figure rose slightly to 28.2 billion pounds. 18 years later, the core message of Capcom’s beloved zombie action game – and scathing critique of unchecked consumerism – remains just as important. The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is an excellent re-release of a classic. One I’d argue is important for everyone to experience.
