Did Dead Rising 2 leave you wanting? Did you enjoy the customizable weapons, the creative carnage, the undeadness of it all, but feel something was missing? Perhaps a background as a world-traveling photo journalist? Well, if that’s the case then Capcom has good news with Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, a retelling of Dead Rising 2 starring West, Frank West.

Off The Record is an alternate universe re-imagining of Dead Rising 2 starring original series star Frank West who replaces Chuck Greene at the center of the Fortune City outbreak. Mr West will ‘face off against more twisted enemies, build more outrageous combo weapons, follow his own unique mission structure and explore brand new areas of Fortune City.’ Along with Frank, his trusty camera is back and that means Prestige Points for certain photo-ops which will be graded on criteria like ‘horror, drama, erotica, and brutality.’
