Frank West visits Fortune City in this "what if?" retelling of Dead Rising 2.
This is $50?!
Err, I was kind of interested but no way am I playing the same game but with Dan Aykroyd, I mean Frank West, a couple of tweaks and a new mode. Even SSF4 was $40! Ugh. I'll wait until it hits $10 on a steam sale. What the fuck were they thinking?
Capcom seems to be on a roll with repackaging their games. As cool as it may be to play as Frank again, this is just a cheap fan service cash in.
"Actually, I really liked Dead Rising 2. It was a great game and I liked Chuck as a character. But this, this is just stupid.
Yeah Dead Rising 2 was not that good to begin with."
" Capcom seems to be on a roll with repackaging their games. As cool as it may be to play as Frank again, this is just a cheap fan service cash in. "Works for someone like me who didn't play Dead Rising 2. One of the reasons why I held out on it was the lack of Frank West. Now I'm glad!
" They just announced it today and don't even have a proper release date for it. Why would you automatically assume that the Amazon page is telling the truth?Because they said it's a full "new" disc-based game?Talk about jumping the gun for no good goddamn reason."
" It's apparently a whole new game "Yeah, but it uses all of the assets and environments from the original game. It's basically a glorified "remix" mode with new cutscenes.

Here's the feature list:
- Frank west is back – The original Dead Rising hero returns to get the scoop on the Fortune City outbreak.
- Fortune City but not as you know it – Experience a re-interpretation of the Fortune City outbreak through the eyes and camera of photojournalist Frank West.
- New story and missions unique to Frank West
- New environments
- New enemies and more psychotic Psychos
- New crazy and hilarious combo-weapons
- New items and vehicles
- Say “Cheese!” – Capture those classic, violent, scary, hilarious Dead Rising moments, earn Prestige Points and complete all new missions with Frank’s new and improved camera feature.
- Upgraded Experience – Full of technical improvements, system enhancements and feature upgrades to create a faster, smoother, more satisfying Dead Rising.
Might be worth full price after all. We'll see. That is, if it is full price - I very much doubt that Capcom has given retailers any pricing info yet.
Hmmm... I randomly played Dead Rising 2 yesterday for a while but I couldn't really get back into it as well as my replays through Dead Rising 1. I might consider this...
I was interested in Case West but it looked a little iffy and isn't canon apparently, what's up with that?
" I'm expecting Lost Planet 2 but you play as amnesia man from the first game. Holiday 2011. "I CAN'T WAIT.
yeah, sure, with all those videos on the front page, is someone really calling Capcom lazy?
i'm surprised developers don't recycle their own shit more often
it's not like the days of the NES where throwing out all your assets meant you lost like five days of work
and besides, it was just announced

It's probably more for people like me, who never got around to playing Dead Rising 2- but now that they're putting out a new version that fixes things up a bit, and lets me play as the character I find more interesting- I'll buy it.
