Capcom has released some new facts that have been unveiled at PAX. The photojournalist and hero of the first Dead Rising , Frank West, once again takes center stage in Dead Rising 2 Off the Record. Capcom say you should forget what you know about Dead Rising 2 as you will discover a reinterpretation of the events surrounding the outbreak of Fortune City.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record felt like the zombie survival series' peak, with Frank West's non-canon adventure providing massive thrills.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "Dead Rising 2: Off the Record might be my favorite release in the series as it took a solid entry, threw the heroic Frank West in and brought us the legendary Sandbox mode."
Carlos Writes "With Dead Rising 4 now out the door, and our playthrough finalised, we decided to take a look to see how it stacks up with the rest of the series entries. So here we are...ranking the full Dead Rising series from god damn worst, right up to the best zombie bashing offering that we've ever seen."
I played the first, and I bought #4. Other than that, strangely haven't played any of the others. I'll get round to it one day though I guess.
Sandbox mode sounds like another example of catering to casuals, smh.
