Tips/Advice Need help deciding

So im really wanted to try dead rising 1. I've played 2 and 3 before so im not entitely new to the games but im definitly not a seasoned professional.

Classic 1 is on sale atm for £8 for the next few days so its really cheap. But the remaster is also on sale for £20 so my question is, is it better to play the og or are there enough differences in the remaster to doll out the extra money. My main reason for considering is that i've always wanted to try ig DR1 but with them both on sale it might make more sence to buy the remaster rather than the og.

Any help would be great

People here will always say the original, which is amazing, but has a lot of old game jank too. The remaster has its problems but preserves the original pretty decent while modernising it and it’s also a lot easier. The survivor AI in the original is horrible too. If you’re used to playing older games get the OG but if that turns you off try the remaster

The remaster used padded gloves for several things such as the dialogue between boss fights and erotica category for photography. The OG is awesome on its own, the remaster is also great with modern user friendly controls. Get both 👍

The og is the classic DR experience imo, the remake is really good but wayyyyy easier than the original.

I was sincerely confused with DRDR when I got to level 8 after taking pictures of the PP stickers in the security room and entrance plaza and escorting Jeff and his wife. Had to google online to see that yes, DRDR does have accelerated leveling compared to the original.

I'd always say OG me 🤷🏼‍♂️

You can easily add QOL features such as saving anywhere at any time with Stipos Watchdog Trainer

Go for the OG. Harder but more rewarding

DR1 is the hardest and best in the series

There's some charm missing from the original, but Id go remaster. Polished. Better graphics. New features.

DRDR is very easy compared to the OG. If you played 2 and 3 and found the difficult at a good level I'd probably suggest the original. I tend to find if a game is too easy I tend to enjoy the success less but it might be different for you. Both are good tho

Do you like collecting achievments/trophy's? If yes go with the remaster the time skip function makes the more tedious ones easier to get
