boomdizzle 2 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 I think you are mistaken, I am almost certain that frank will be in fortune city, and was a wrestler on TIR before the outbreak, and he will be there instead of chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajinJackBauer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The game is a "what if", according to the developers, what if Frank was at Fortune City instead of Chuck (I believe Chuck is still there since he is the second player in co-op). The story will be somewhat different, new bosses, new weapons, new survivors, new vehicles, and supposedly even though this isn't canon, there is supposed to be some big reveal at the end that actually ties into DeadRising canon.

DannyBoi321 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Frank is in Fortune city at the Same time as Chuck because he saves him from TK at the end of DR2 doesnt he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllyKiriyama Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I prefer Frank though to be honest. I hope the at the end we find out that original Dead Rising 2 was the 'what-if' and Off The Record is canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllyKiriyama Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Canon means the accepted, correct and genuine storyline. For example, Ending F is probably not canon, as it shows most characters dying and failing. There is some debate whether Ending A or S is the canon ending. More on canon here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_%28fiction%29 I think that A is the real ending, as it follows into Case West and possibly Dead Rising 3. Ending S seems more like an ending to finish the story, and is probably in favour of the PS3 players since they didn't get Case West and therefore can't continue the storyline.

Dr Smart Ace Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 What is a canon? MEGATRON - "Come to Cybertron and find out human maggot!" Sorry...I was reading about Transformers and couldn't resist. Just being a smart ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, ending A has to be the correct one, otherwise Case West, which is also canon, couldn't exist. Plus ending S sucked anyway. Anyway, I thought Dead Rising 2: Off the Record was Frank running around in different areas of Fortune City doing different things and was going to just be what Frank was doing at the same time that Chuck was doing his thing. I wish we could get more info on all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkforce412 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 ive only heard that their will be different bosses different weapons and the story will be changed a little and of course u get 2 play as FRANK WEST, but besides all that i really hope its more different from DR 2 because that would really suck.

Ace of Alpha Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) No its supposed to be what frank was doing during dead rising 2. Like chuck was doing his thing but where was frank in all this? This game should fill in that blank. Frank is in Fortune city at the Same time as Chuck because he saves him from TK at the end of DR2 doesnt he. I always assumed Frank West had just arrived in Fortune City right at the end of the game to meet up with Rebecca Chang, as he was intending to go to the Phenotrans factory with her.

Gor1lla Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Wait what. I played through DR2 again a few day ago and cant remember any referance/appearance to Frank, except the time where Chuck asks Chang if she has covered wars- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayinfool Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I love Dead Rising, but I am still unable to justify buying this game. Good ol Gamefly to the rescue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey The Dawg Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Im a DR fan so this is one of my anticapted games this year and im definitely going to get it day one. I think the whole re-imagining thing is kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkManX Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Can't wait for this game but I did see a gameplay video and one of the same survivors was with Frank as in DR2, so maybe there will be a lot of the same survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo1103 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) Chuck Greene's a psychopath in this one, just so you know. I'm presuming it's something to do with no evidence to back up the framing of the outbreak, or he had trouble finding Zombrex for Katey in time, and thus went beserk. Either way, this game is a "what if" scenario of DR2, but Chuck is still in there with the story a little twisted around this time. As well as Rebecca being the one you save from TK in Overtime Mode this time, with her resuming her normal post of being the damsel in distress when fighting Amber and Crystal and Sgt. Boykin. This is merely a vague attempt at who and what is happening this time around, but it's pretty obvious from the achievements this is how it's going down.

xOhNoes11 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 From watching the free roam mode video, I think the map palettes are basically the same which is kind of disappointing to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Delta Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 From watching the free roam mode video, I think the map palettes are basically the same which is kind of disappointing to be honest. The map is EXACTLY the same, except they added a new area for OTR called Uranus or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they added the new area with whatever downtime they had between then and now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
