Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Removes the ‘Erotica’ Genre From the Photography Mini-Game [IGN]

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be released in roughly a month, and as more news trickles in, it has been discovered that the upcoming remaster has removed the ability for players to take an “erotic” photo.

As noted in a new report from Famitsu (spotted by Eurogamer), Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s photography mini-game has removed the “Erotica” genre from photos taken by the player. In the original game and its subsequent 2016 re-release, there were 6 types of photos depending on what Frank photographs. A photograph with a specific photo genre would award players with an additional Prestige Point (PP) bonus for the picture. The Erotica genre specifically was available when players took pictures of certain angles of a female human or zombie character.

While the Photography mini-game is almost entirely optional, as it is not required to take pictures when completing the main story, the mechanic plays a role in several side missions Frank can complete. Regarding the omission of the Erotica genre, two optional missions require Frank to take Erotica photo(s). So, it remains to be seen how those missions will be altered due to the removal of the photo type.

Capcom did not immediately respond to IGN’s request for comment.

Otherwise, Capcom appears to have put a lot of effort into improving the overall gameplay of Dead Rising. As Capcom has previously revealed, the upcoming Deluxe Remaster has improved survivor AI, making it easier to escort survivors to safety, and a new control scheme that allows players to move while aiming, in addition to providing fully voiced NPCs, realistic lighting, and improvements to facial expressions.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is out on September 19 digitally or November 8 if you prefer to obtain a digital copy. For more, check out the recent gameplay deep dive featuring the game’s director and producer.
