The Dead Rising remaster no longer gives you points for “Erotica” creepshots because it’s not “required” or “appropriate”
Dead Rising, the original game from 2006, is not just about running around a shopping mall killing zombies. It is also a satirical take on sleazy tabloid photojournalism. The scoring system in the game awards “Prestige points” for taking pictures that fall into five categories: “Brutal” scenes of characters being killed, “Horror” moments like an approaching horde, comical “Outtakes” of characters in strange poses, “Drama” moments of people reacting to discoveries, and “Erotic” photos of women alive or undead, ranging from exposed underwear to cleavage shots.
In the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, the Erotica tag has been removed. Capcom states that this decision was not due to a changing cultural climate, but because they felt that earning points from such photos is not an appropriate reward for survival or a skill required of a journalist in a zombie apocalypse. The game’s writing and quests have also been adjusted accordingly.
The removal of the Erotica tag has sparked mixed reactions. Some argue that it undermines the satire of the game, while others feel it goes against the idea of game preservation. However, the original version of Dead Rising is still available for those who prefer the original experience.
While some may miss the Erotica tag, others see its removal as a positive change. The new version of the game is seen as an improvement without it. Ultimately, players can still choose what photos to take on their journey, even if they won’t receive points for certain subjects.
It’s important to consider the impact of such game elements and whether they add value to the overall experience. In this case, the removal of the Erotica tag may lead to a more inclusive and respectful gameplay environment.
