Dead Rising 2: Off the Record trailer recaps Frank's rise (and fall)

by David Hinkle on Aug 12th 2011 10:30PM

We all thought Frank West was out covering wars between the events of Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, but that's not the case. Turns out, he became a celebrity after the Willamette incident -- and like every star out there, West eventually turned to the bottle. Fame must be pure torture, you guys.

I wonder what Inafune's thoughts on Off the Record are.

@(Unverified)
He was the one that came up with the idea.

God damn I love Frank West.

@Mcbonk
I just wish he hadn't let himself go.

This whole hand thing has made me laugh harder than I have in a while. I love it.

No Zumba Hand? Sad Face

@Captain x Kirby Oh, it's in there. Look very, very carefully.

@TylerC

OH MY GOD.

@Captain x Kirby
In the lens!

Why does Capcom keep trying to sell us the same game twice?

@Excessive
Because people keep buying them.

@Excessive They're only selling it to me once. I did not enjoy Chuck at all during the time I had played the game. Frank however? Yes please.

I'm actually browsing through Joystiq's articles to make sure there's a "V for Victory/Peace" sign in every preview picture.

@The Only Girl

Haha, me too. I just noticed that most (if not all) of the pictures today have had a peace hand cleverly shopped in them. It's too bad that it might probably end today, unless Jordan and Jess decide to somehow continue the trend at least until tomorrow.

Will I still be able to wear my Borat full-body banana hammock and my manly-man beard of manliness? And my silver Slim Jim-esque showgirl hat?

"Fame must be pure torture, you guys."

Indeed Mr. Hinkle. Since Frank West is suffering from PTPD - Post traumatic Press Disorder. After covering wars and the Outbreak; that is all he ever sees and knows.

Does anyone think that this game premise sounds SOOOOO much better than the original DR2?

Hopefully they'll put this one in the main storyline, and have regular DR2 become the alternate-reality.

@holyice7 I thought I wouldn't like it, but I actually like the Chuck character.

They should have just married both storylines into a third game.

ok weres the capcom trolls at?

@dblue They're on the board of directors, laughing all the way to the bank.

@AxelSteelBMX if people are buying it, its because people enjoy DR so whats wrong with that? also do you shit talk on company's that release GOTY edition? this is way better then a GOTY. is Bethesda laughing all the way to the bank with fallout GOTY?
