Capcom released a special promotional song ahead of the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. The song, titled “Doesn’t Matter ‘Cause”, is sung from the perspective of a zombie coming to the realization that they are dead.
The promotional song is a mellow acoustic guitar driven song where a zombie sings about the melancholy of being a shambling corpse in the world of Dead Rising. As the song progresses, the singer laments the many ways that Frank West can take out him and his fellow zombies. In the process, we get to see footage of various weapons available within the remaster. These include the mundane, such as being shot, to the more experimental weapons that Frank can use, such as soccer balls or parasols. These clips from the games are mixed with original animation showing the zombies dancing.
The promotional song is clearly meant to evoke the more ridiculous elements of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. As well as the version found on Capcom’s US YouTube channel, a Japanese version was also released. The songwriter and musicians involved have not been revealed by Capcom at present, nor have the animators.
The promotional song is similar to a series of videos Capcom released to promote the release of the Resident Evil 4 Remake in 2023. Similarly, they featured original animation and a comical tone. However, these were a series of short skits rather than a song.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on September 19, 2024.
