Yesterday a Trophy list appeared for a PlayStation 4 version of the original Dead Rising, which all but confirmed the game will be coming to Sony's system in the near future.
Capcom has now confirmed to Eurogamer.net that this indeed will be happening – but that's not all. In a surprise twist, the publisher also confirmed that sequel Dead Rising 2 and spin-off Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will also be hitting the PS4. What's unclear, however, is whether these will be straight ports of the games or full remasters. Capcom has said that it will share more information soon, so expect this to be one of the first things cleared up.
Release dates have yet to be mentioned, but we'll most likely see both games release by the end of the year. With Dead Rising 4 being a timed exclusive for one year, this means that you'll eventually be able to play all of the titles in the series on the PS4 – apart from Xbox One launch title Dead Rising 3. Perhaps that one will make the jump eventually, too?

I'm so tired of timed exclusivity, but to be fair the first Dead Rising was probably the best anyways so... Cheers!
Never really liked these games personally. Interested to see whether they're straight ports or not, though.
Capcom can keep these. I really hated the secomd game.
I rather see Left 4 Dead come to the PS4
What's also unclear is if they are digital only or are we getting physical releases. Still awesome news none the less.
God damn you, guys. After that headline I was excited to think the third was finally getting a PS4 release
Never liked the series so eh, no thanks.
ps4 has nothing but old games.. i'm giving on this terrible console generation.. These are old games.. can developers start making new ones already? it's been 3 years into the console generation, it's time to move on.
So will all three games be bundled together?
I love the original Dead Rising, but didn't care for the sequel, even though Off the Record was good fun. Even though I have Dead Rising 3 on Steam, I'd like to get it on PS4 to platinum it, if it's releases on the PS4.
Love the Dead Rising series, but I won't be getting these. I guess Capcom won't be doing the backwards compatibility for Xbox One huh? I actually prefer that.
@portalplayer2 no new games? Have you been living under a rock
@SKC_Diamond the ps4 generation has been mostly remasters and uninteresting indie games. I rarely see anything exciting on the PS4 store, and I check often!
The first one was pretty good but the second was very disappointing it was basically the same again just without all the fun of taking pictures, something which I assume prompted off the record. I'm not overly excited even if I'd possibly pick the rest one up if it was cheap enough
@get2sammyb Same here i played the first but wasn't impressed and i played the second when it was given away free on XBL Games with Gold and still wasn't impressed
but like you i'm wondering how Capcom are going to do this, a remaster or just a port
Had Dead Rising 1 on xbox360 and never got into it, didnt really like it for some reason.
Just give me my Bioshock collection (and maybe MAss Effect) and be done with it!
After the novelty of the weapons, the game got boring, quite quickly.. Nice to see them coming out for those who have not played them, but its another series that should have been left alone after two..
@SKC_Diamond @portalplayer2 I Agree with SKC, really?!? So games like Bloodbourne, Witcher 3, Overwatch, a ton of Japanese games, SFV, Driveclub, Uncharted 4, Diablo 3 etc etc etc. Also with games still coming like Last Guardian, Horizon, God Of War, Crash Remasters etc. I think this has been one the best generations. Stop being so negative.
I've never played any game in the series but I saw a walkthrough of the first game and to be fair it looks fun. I wonder why they decided to remove the exclusivity now?
I really enjoyed the first two Dead Rising games, might consider playing them again on PS4. Dead Rising 4 looks like fun, though having to wait a year to see it on my console of choice is lame. Part three stunk though, so no great loss if it never comes to PS4.
@Portalplayer2 Maybe you should get an Xbox one and support that console with your hard earned money! That console is lacking joy (lacking console exclusives, 2nd position, lacking technical power) at the moment - it could do with all the help it can get! Your positive comments would be most welcome there !! 😜
Played the first game years ago when I first got my 360. Wasn't a huge fan of it then. The boss battles and time limit were obnoxious.
Dead Rising 3 was amazing
Had them all on the Xbox 360 but if it's an HD remaster I'll buy them all again, just so I'd have the full DR collection on one console.
