Do you enjoy "what-if" stories?  Do you enjoy zombies?  Do you enjoy taking pictures of zombies?  If you answered "yes" to any of these then read on!  A love of Dead Rising and all its quirks will help, too!

Apparently, Dead Rising 2 and its DLC just wasn't enough.  A new, re-imagined Dead Rising 2 is coming this Fall.  It's promised as a disc-based "smarter" version that goes beyond the Director's Cut version of other Capcom games.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is stand alone game set in Fortune City.  It will feature Dead Rising's protagonist instead of Chuck Greene and it will be a completely new game.  Off the Record will have new psychos, new areas, and new combo weapons.  It is its own game, but at what cost?

Aside from it being a new game set against the same backdrop of Dead Rising 2, co-op will be different.  Two Chuck's won't be running around on the screen.  Instead, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will feature a Frank and a Chuck similar to the previously released Case West DLC.  Chuck's full involvement with the Off the Record story has yet to be disclosed.  Even Chuck's daughter is a mystery considering her backpack is found near a bloodstain in Off the Record.

Do fans of Dead Rising 2 want more Dead Rising 2?  I'm sure the minor but paramount improvement of the co-op will be welcome, but is it enough to purchase?  A zombie lover or a Dead Rising lover will probably say yes.  For everyone else, it's probably too early to tell.
