Poll: Did You End Up Buying The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster For Xbox?

It’s been a couple of weeks since the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster made its debut on Xbox and other systems, and looking at the “Top Paid” Xbox charts today, it’s comfortably in the first page of the list – albeit not making the top 10.

That’s probably understandable, right? After all, there’s already a good version of Dead Rising for Xbox One that was given away as part of Xbox Games with Gold a few years ago, so we didn’t exactly expect everyone to rush out and buy the remaster straight away… unless, of course, it ended up getting 9s and 10s across the board.

The Metacritic score is still very positive – the average for the PS5 version is 83 right now, and that’s the version that has easily the most reviews so far. The Xbox version is sitting on 76, and that’s due in part to our “Good” 7/10 review here at Pure Xbox – yes, we ended up scoring this remaster slightly lower than the average in the end.

That’s not to say we haven’t enjoyed our time with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster though. If you’ve never played the game before, this is easily the best way to jump in, and returning fans will find plenty to enjoy as well. We just came away slightly disappointed by some of the more dated elements, and admittedly we hold Capcom to a very high standard these days – the Resident Evil 4 Remake is one of our favourite games of the generation!

Anyway, enough waffling – did you end up buying the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster for Xbox, and if so, what do you think of it so far? And for those who haven’t picked it up yet, what’s keeping you from hitting the “buy” button?
