Haters gonna hate. Capcoms gonna Capcom.

Forgive me if I can't find any outrage to pull out and spew all over the internet, but it's not like this behaviour is anything new for Capcom. As someone who didn't get around to buying DR2 colour me semi-interested, although I think I got my helping with Case Zero.

I'm surprised they can cut down loading times, what with Frank's giant forehead being included.

Okay, I'm fine with a "Director's Cut" version of the game at a discounted price, but I hope this doesn't become a trend for all of Capcom's game...yeah, they do it all the time, but I don't want Dead Rising 3 to have a "Off the Record" version, too.

" Capcom releasing the same game with a few character changes? SAY IT AINT SO. "

Jeff's initial impression doesn't paint too convincing a picture that this game will be anything more than just a lazy retread and would instead be better served as a DLC. I trust his years' worth of acumen in these things, but I can't shake off the feeling that it will be a better introduction to the franchise than it will be a product targeted toward the fans of the previous game.  

This is a bunch of bullshit. No one cared about DR 2 or its DLC, and now they're doing this? Really?!

If they don't let me store weapons somewhere, no thanks

Is there really any reason they decided to make this non-canon aside from knowing where certain psychopaths were supposed to be at certain times based on Chuck's encounters?

We don't really know where Frank was during the events of 2, right? He just shows up inexplicably for Case West.  I might've been a bit more interested if this was a side-story, like the original Half-Life expansion packs, because those actually added to the original game both in content and in plot (not that DR is loved for its plot). If this is just "how Frank would react" plus a handful of new bosses, than I'm not interested. I hate "what if" stories.

As someone who loved Dead Rising 2...I'm not going to buy this. I already have DR2, I'm not going to shell out $60-$40 for the same game, but with Frank West. That's just stupid.

Removing photography from Dead Rising 2 was one of the best parts of Dead Rising 2, so hearing that they're putting it back in isn't exactly whetting my whistle.

But at the same time, Dead Rising 2 was so excellent that I don't know if one little game mechanic that I didn't like much really has the power to totally ruin the whole thing.

I'll just keep watching for now.

I'll need to know more before I even consider buying this. This just doesn't sound like a good idea to me, especially if they are going to be charging $59.99 for it.

Why does Dan Aykroyd keep claiming he's Frank West?

So this is basically the version they should have released to begin with. 
You know what I'm fucking tired of? Companies releasing games, which they then rerelease a year later as a improved version. I paid full price for DR2, and now they release the version which they should just had released to beging with!?!

Man fuck this shit. This is disrespectfull to the customer. I love games, but there's a lot of stuff I don't like about game development and publishing. It's starting to get a point where I just don't won't to buy a new game. Instead I should just wait a year, because by then they will have released the better version of the game.

$29.99 MAX, but something like this should really be $19.99. But, like Jeff said, we don't really know all the details yet, so maybe Capcom will surprise us?

Really glad I skipped DR2 now. A better version of the game with a better lead character for a cheaper price? Between this and GOTY editions, developers are making it really hard for me to go to the store and buy their game on day one.

How the mighty have fallen. While starting out fairly strong with the original Dead Rising and having a return to form with Street Fighter IV, Capcom have been absolutely poor this generation. From terrible new franchises such as Dark Void, Lost Planet to lackluster sequels such as Devil May Cry 4, RE 5, Bionic Commando, BC: Rearmed 2, Dead Rising 2 and so on, it's just not the Capcom I once knew and loved.

Frank looks like he put on a few.

Soo... it's pretty much the same game, but with different cutscenes. I have trouble fathoming why anyone would want more Dead Rising, but I'm also someone who didn't even manage to finish Case Zero so take that as you will.

Just wait until it's cheaper.

*Looks at his limited edition he had sitting in his closet since last Christmas due to a sell on Amazon that hasn't been opened yet, looks at this trailer and news of retail release, swears and punches desk*

If this were DLC, it would be an instant buy for me. As a disc, I'll eventually get it a year later when it hits the bargain bin.

Anything over $29.99 for this double dip sounds like to much.  I'm all for a 3rd game but a 3rd game with new locations, not a re-hash. No thanks Capcom, and in the 3rd game lets drop the game show gimmick please, it worked in the 2nd game but I'm over it now.

I hope they take out the timers on missions or make them longer, they took the fun out of the game for me.
You couldn't mess around making weapons and killing zombies cause you always had to get to the next case or save another survivor there was no time for fun. Really spoiled the game.

If it turns out to be "Dead Rising 2: runs-well-and-psychos-are-better Edition," I'm all for this.

It better come with a built-in trainer. The ability to knock the clock back an hour at the press of a button is what made this game worth playing on PC.

Actually this sounds pretty cool.  I blew off DR2 because
there wasn't a Frank West in the game.  So now that they're
making one with FW, I guess I'll pick that one up instead of
playing the old DR2 from yesteryear.

Obviously, this is a mandatory buy for me.

Really love the series and was going to play through Dead Rising 2 on 360 but got rid of it when I grew tired of my 360 over the PS3, but I tried the PS3 version of DR2 and the constant Frame-rate issues and Screen-tearing issues really put me off. More so the Frame-rate, I didnt mine the tearing in the first game.

Hopefully Blue Castle polish up the engine for the PS3 so it plays more smoothly like the 360 and its an insta-buy for me!

If this has an infinite mode, automatic day one purchase regardless of price.

This is still a really weird thing to do.

Final Fight Guy on SNES all over again. Even the most progressive classic Japanese game company is still stuck in the 90's.

" wtf is capcom doing. "

Well heres their chance to fix the whole "no kifewrench" thing that was wrong with the original.

" Man capcom can you go a month with Re-releases something?What's next Dark Void but with Ryu in it? "

@AxDemon: I totally get you there.  The only games I can stomach first-day buys on now are ones I am really excited for (Portal 2, Arkham City).  Everything else gets a re-release or drops in price too fast to warrant it - plus Amazon keeps doing 33% off Deals of the Day on 2 week old games.

Is that a different voice actor? Seems different, not sure if I like it.

Cool.  If only it didn't play like a Dead Rising game.

I like Frank West, but this seems shifty.

This totally reminds me of the "Separate Ways" campaign in Resident Evil 4 where you played the game from Ada Wong's perspective. So you know, Capcom has totally done this in the past, though it'll be a stand alone thing not packed in with the original game like Resident Evil 4. 

It's still too soon to judge.  Maybe this will be cool.

Release the daughter with his camera and you have to run around getting film or batteries for it or it will die. 

Is this just Dead Rising 2 with Frank West? Seems unnecessary.

Such a wasted effort.  With a few changes, Dead Rising 2 could have been a great game.

Capcom, WTF?! I love and appreciate everything you do, but a re-release of a game that you've already come out with that has slightly different skins and voice work and then package it on a disc? Have you learned nothing since the ridiculous number of releases you had with the Street Fighter series?

I never bought Dead Rising 2, so this might be a smart purchase.
