Overview

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is a 2011 action-adventure game developed by Capcom Vancouver and published by Capcom. It is a reimagining of Dead Rising 2, with that game's protagonist, Chuck Greene, replaced by Frank West from the first Dead Rising.

As in Dead Rising 2, the player will achieve one of several endings based on time constraints and other factors.

At Captivate 2011, Capcom's annual press show, the company announced that it was releasing Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, as a reinterpretation of the game, with Frank West from the original Dead Rising as the main character. The game was released for the same consoles on October 11 in North America, October 13 in Japan, and October 14 in Europe for a discount retail price.

Off the Record is intended as a complete reimagining of Dead Rising 2 featuring Frank West, the protagonist of the original Dead Rising video game, with new missions, cutscenes, environments, enemies, and weapons. The photography mechanic from the first Dead Rising is also included. There are technical and system upgrades, such as optimization of loading times and improved network performance. Off the Record also features a new sandbox mode. This allows players to explore Fortune City without the obstacle of time as well as take on several optional challenges.
