Frank West teased in Dead Rising 2 viral blog
23
In a recent post on Capcom's viral site for Dead Rising 2, fictitious Fortune City denizen "Johnny Pipes" tells the tale of his search for sweets amid the zombie horde and a Chuck Greene spotting along the way. When Pipes started snapping pics of Greene with his camera phone, though, Greene took off. Never one to shy away from danger, Pipes pursued Greene and evidently noticed another gentleman (of the non-zombie variety) at his side: Is that Frank West?
Outside of the tale and a very, very blurry shot of the duo fighting zombies side by side (seen above), the Tape It or Die post doesn't give out hard details on whether we can expect to see the first game's star in DR2 -- perhaps as an additional player in the game's co-op mode? We can't be sure just yet, but Pipes' story indicates that West's camera could also make a return. Sure, he's shot wars before, but has West shot Chuck Greene plowing through a crowd of the undead with chainsaws attached to a wheelchair? Yeah, didn't think so.

I can't think of a better person to have by my side during the Zombie Apocalypse than Frank West.

They are still weak against shotguns, decapitations, and Frank West.
....zombies.

Here's a really helpful, multiple-choice test to see where you've gone wrong.

So if Frank West got a Mega Man costume and may be making an appearance in DR2, does that mean Chuck Greene gets a Protoman or Zero costume?
That would be good news for everyone.

Can you combine Mega Man's buster cannon to other things like I dunno.....
Hedge-clippers to make boomerang-clipper-doom...(Like Mega Man 1 after obtaining Cutman power-up)
...I can dream ^_^

What's the betting Capcom make you pay for him to be usable in co-op?
Seriously wouldn't put it past them they are a disgrace when it comes to nickel and diming.

Don't tease us, Capcom. We all know Frank is dead.
Or DLC. Same thing.

That could be a cool mode if you are Frank West trying to take cool pics of what your co-op partner is doing. I could get behind that.

It would be a very nice surprise if they added Frank into the Dead Rising 2 storyline via DLC, but I'm assuming one of two things: He is an unlockable or DLC character or character skin in multiplayer (which technically still Is the story mode) or there will be a Frank West costume in the game.

i think it would be cool to have frank in the game, even as a short cameo.
I really didn't like his character at first, but as i played through DR 1 i began to like him a little more, i mean come on... He's covered wars you know
