Fans of the original game, released almost two decades ago, are still incredibly passionate about it. That is because they felt like a path-breaking title to most of them. Most of the elements in the game, such as the gore, psychopaths, and an incredibly well-written story.

However, a fan stated that not mentioning the time limit was, perhaps, a signal that the Dead Rising Time Limit was going to be removed from the remaster:

It seems like fans are genuinely divided on the time limit hardcoded in the original game. Remember that the audience for gamers, especially zombie games, has evolved significantly ever since the original came out. But, for players who love the original, omitting the time limit mechanic might be a massive buzzkill.

Including or Excluding the Dead Rising Time Limit Isn’t a Something Minor

Some players were excited when Dead Rising Delux Remaster was announced. The excitement grew even further when the Release Date was announced with a new trailer.

While the time limit in the original games was made for high-octane action and people hurriedly racing against time, it also created a barrier for players who disliked the idea.

However, the makers will probably settle the debate on the Dead Rising time limit, most likely because they will have to decide the target audience for the game.

If the focus is on fans of the original, the time limit will be hardcoded once again, even if mechanics like Auto Save make the game a tad easier. On the contrary, if the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster was designed for newcomers and veteran players, there may be an option to turn the limit off.

However, it is doubtful that the game will feature a time limit because doing so will cause the fourth game to receive a lot of criticism.
