Video Explaining Dead Rising 2 Off The Record

YouTube - DEAD RISING 2 OFF THE RECORD

What is it?

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record takes inspiration from Capcom's history of Director's Cut re-releases, according to developer Capcom Vancouver (formerly Blue Castle Games). Off the Record reimagines the Fortune City Incident of the original Dead Rising 2, this time casting the first Dead Rising's main character, war photographer Frank West, as the hero of the hour.

What's the story?

In this version of Dead Rising 2, Frank West went from high profile hero and celebrity to washed up has-been after the events of Dead Rising. Broke after launching a failed line of hair restoration products, Frank has come to Fortune City to appear on Terror is Reality and to revive his career - and get paid. After all, Frank is infected, which means every 24 hours, he'll need a dose of Zombrex to avoid a fate involving shuffling around, looking for people to eat.

It's not DLC?

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a full featured, full length retail release. Unlike the prequel Dead Rising 2: Case Zero or sequel Dead Rising 2: Case West, Off the Record will not be available as DLC.

What's returning?

The framework of events for Off the Record seems largely the same - a bizarre conspiracy is unfolding in Fortune City, setting free its zombie horde and trapping a group of citizen survivors in the city until help can arrive in 72 hours. Of course, not everything is the same. There are new areas of the Fortune City complex to explore, including new Psychos and new events, while most if not all of the old Psychos remain in the game. Also returning: combo weapons. There will also be new combo weapons available to Frank, though Capcom is mum on what those will be.

What's new?

While it's not new, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record does feature the return of the camera mechanic from Dead Rising, with improvements. For example, this time Frank is sporting a digital camera - no more searching for film. Frank will want to capture key plot moments to help expose the Fortune City conspiracy.

Where's Chuck?

Chuck is still in Fortune Ciy, though we don't know his whereabouts. However, Capcom has confirmed that partners in co-op will play Chuck to the main player's Frank.
