Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will not award “Erotica” points for taking cleavage and crotch photos like original 

Capcom’s Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (nicknamed DRDR) was announced for a September 19 launch on PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The new title will overhaul the original Dead Rising’s graphics and improve playability and AI behavior (making it closer to a remake). So far, it’s been confirmed that DRDR will include even more “extreme” depictions of gore than the original game, but it seems it will do away with one slightly sexual past mechanic. 

According to Capcom’s recent press release (as reported on by Famitsu), the Erotica photography tag from the original Dead Rising will no longer be a thing in the Remaster. For those unfamiliar with the system, in Dead Rising, you can earn experience points known as PP (Prestige Points) through various activities, one of which is photography (you are playing as a journalist, after all). 

The shots you take are awarded a certain amount of PP, and based on the subject matter, you can earn a PP bonus from one or more genre categories, such as Horror, Brutality, or Outtake. One of the categories happens to be Erotica, and this bonus is given for things like upskirt shots and photos of female characters’ cleavage, belly piercings, and thongs peeping above their waistbands. 

Dead Rising even has a mission in which you are tasked with taking an erotic photograph which scores over 750 PP. It is likely that this mission will be omitted from Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster along with the Erotica tag mechanism. 

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is scheduled to be released on September 19 for the PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
