Watch: Ian's revisiting Dead Rising's Willamette Mall on PS4 at 3:30pm.

It's this week's Eurogamer Wednesdays stream.

It's been just over 10 years since Dead Rising was first unleashed onto Xbox 360 and, to celebrate this anniversary, Capcom has just released updated versions of three classic Dead Rising titles for the current generation of hardware.

Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off The Record are available right now for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. While they aren't super sparkly remasters with brand new graphics, their performance has been boosted to 1080p and 60fps so your trips down memory lane should look a little bit sharper and smoother than they did originally.

I'll be revisiting Dead Rising's Willamette Mall at 3:30pm for 90 minutes of nostalgic, zombie stomping action almost 10 years to the day since I last played it. My achievement list tells me that the last Dead Rising achievement I earned was 'Snuff Shot B' on the 16th of September 2006. Great, now I feel old again.

Make sure to stick around for the whole stream because I've got one code for Dead Rising 2 and one for Dead Rising 2: Off The Record to give away to a couple of lucky viewers.
