When you first start your journey into “zombie paradise” inDead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you’ll only be able to access one mode from the main menu - 72 Hour Mode. If you’re new to Dead Rising, you might think that’s all there is, but that’s not the case.
72 Hour Mode is best viewed as the main option in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, but there are actually two more modes that can be unlocked after clearing specific conditions. They both take a bit of work, so here’s what you need to do to gain access to them.
How To Unlock Overtime Mode
The first unlockable mode in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is Overtime Mode, whichessentially acts as an epilogue to the main storyand gives you another 24 in-game hours of content.
To unlock Overtime Mode,you’ll need to get Ending A in 72 Hour Mode. To do this, Frank needs to follow the main questline andcomplete all eight Cases before they run out of time. This is relatively easy to do, as most Case missions (minus Bomb Collection) give you a decent amount of time.
On the final day,you’ll also need to talk to Isabela at 10am, which is marked as a main quest so don’t worry about missing it. You’ll then need tomake your way to the helipad above the Security Room at 12pm, which is when Ed arrives to pick you up. Once you’ve done this, the Ending A cutscene will play and you’ll be able to carry on in Overtime Mode from the main menu.
Overtime Mode lets you carry over your progress from your 72 Hour Mode save, so make sure to keep some data when you get Ending A.
How To Unlock Infinity Mode
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’ssecond unlockable mode is Infinity Mode, a returning bonus from the original release of the game. In this mode, Frank has to survive for as long as he can in Willamette Mall by eating enough food and defeating whatever survivors and Psychopaths come his way.
Unlocking Infinity Mode requires you to get Ending S, which is achievedby completing Overtime Mode and seeing the game’s true ending. To do this,you’ll need to once again complete all of the main cases(which starts with you collecting a bunch of items for Isabela) and defeat the game’s final boss.
Aside from the initial rush to find every item and the pain of dealing with the Special Forces, finishing Overtime Mode is a lot simpler than 72 Hour Mode sincethere aren’t any survivors or side missions to deal with. Just follow the main quest wherever you need to, and getting Ending S will be a breeze.
Once you’ve beaten Overtime Mode,you’ll see Infinity Mode on the main menu screen and be able to select it. Once again, make sure to save your completion data and import it over to Infinite Mode to keep your level and progress.
Infinity Mode is a little different in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, as it’s actually infinite this time around thanks to zombies dropping boxes. It also lets you save and exit a run, so you don’t have to play for 14 straight hours. you may also speed up time, making it a lot faster-paced.
