When I sit down and really reflect on my sleep habits, a sense of inadequacy, guilt, and a bit of anxiety creeps in. Most evenings, I spend an untold amount of time awake at 2 a.m. with what I would call “night thoughts.” You know the stuff — replays of work missteps, relationship blunders, personal insecurities, and a counting of the espressos and nutritional choices I made that lead to this sleeplessness. It gets worse: More evenings than I care to admit, I allow my son to crawl into bed where he spins, kicks, and wreaks havoc with the blankets. With some frequency I sneak in some weekday television, early bedtime be damned. And yet, a week into tracking sleep with the Samsung Galaxy Ring ($400), the Samsung Health app offers up my sleep animal: A lion.

“As a lion sleeper, you have a healthy sleep pattern,” the app tells me. I would remain in disbelief if it weren’t for the data to back that up. I sleep just a hair under 8 hours on the regular, usually near the same time. My night-time interruptions are apparently short and possibly more in my head than in the reality of my bed. My sleep isn’t as bad as I thought. But with all this data, could I actually sleep better? Can sleep trackers help us to get more zzzs? The answer isn’t all that straightforward.

Updating a nearly 20-year-old game is no simple task, especially when it's one as beloved as Dead Rising. Capcom's zombie-slaying masterpiece has become a cult classic over the years for a variety of reasons – from the demanding time management gameplay to the slick and smarmy journalist Frank West, who loves to remind people he’s covered wars.

But Capcom managed to tread a difficult line with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, retaining the soul that made the original so special while making it more approachable for a wave of new players. Of course, part of that meant that the game needed a new take on the iconic Frank West, one that played into the idea of the “average joe” that you’d find in Anytown, U.S.A.

“Using the ‘average Joe’ concept as a foundation, we deconstructed and reorganized Frank’s various aesthetics from over the years,” art director Satoshi Takamatsu tells Inverse, “In terms of a ‘tough physique,’ we opted for a beefier body type that resembles someone who’d trained as an American football player in school, occasionally goes bowling on the weekends, and has enjoyed his share of beer and bacon cheeseburgers.”

That single idea of redefining Frank West is indicative of Dead Rising as a whole – a game that delights in mixing serious storytelling with over-the-top antics. That tonal clash is part of what makes Dead Rising so special, and with the release of the Deluxe Remaster Inverse had the chance to take a deep dive with the team on updating the classic.
