Frank West Actor Calls for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Deluxe Remaster

Key Takeaways

  • Fans want a remaster of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record.
  • New Frank West actor Jas Patrick is calling for one as well.
  • Capcom’s survey hints at potential future Deluxe Remasters of other games.

As a die-hard fan of the Dead Rising series since its inception, I can’t help but feel the excitement coursing through my veins at the prospect of a remastered version of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. The voice actor, Jas Patrick, playing the iconic Frank West, has ignited this flame of hope by urging fans to voice their desire for such a remaster in Capcom’s recent survey.

In a fresh survey conducted by Capcom, the voice artist who portrays protagonist Frank West in the newly released Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster has urged fans to request a remaster of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. The Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster was just launched to favorable reviews, and this new version offers a comprehensive graphical upgrade of the original zombie action game, including an updated appearance and voice for Frank West.

In 2011, the standalone adventure titled “Dead Rising 2: Off the Record” was launched. Unlike its predecessor, “Dead Rising 2“, which introduced a fresh character named Chuck Greene, “Dead Rising 2: Off the Record” brought back the beloved character, Frank West. However, instead of creating a new tale with Frank, this game essentially retells the same story as “Dead Rising 2“, but swaps Chuck for Frank West.

Following the launch of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, its voice actor Jas Patrick took to Twitter encouraging fans of the series to express their desire for Capcom to create a remastered version of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record in Capcom’s latest survey. The survey gauges fan interest in future Dead Rising games, offering choices such as Deluxe Remasters of Dead Rising 2 up to Dead Rising 4, including Off the Record, a complete remake of one game from the series, and an entirely new Dead Rising game. Fans have shown strong support for Patrick’s suggestion, with many expressing a desire to see updated versions of smaller games like Case Zero and Case West as well.

It appears that there’s significant interest among fans for Capcom to enhance Dead Rising 2 with a premium remaster, but it might not be feasible for them to create separate remasters for both Dead Rising 2 and its Off the Record variant because they share similar gameplay with just a switch in protagonists. Instead, it’s plausible that Capcom could incorporate an “Off the Record” mode into the potential Dead Rising 2 Deluxe Remaster, switching Chuck with Frank West. Interestingly, Capcom’s survey also sought opinions about possible remasters for games from other franchises such as Dino Crisis, Onimusha, Lost Planet, Darkstalkers, and even Resident Evil. While Resident Evil may have had enough remastering in recent years, a revival of Dino Crisis is highly anticipated by many Capcom enthusiasts.

Currently, Capcom is surveying fans about potential elements for the future of the Dead Rising series. If a Deluxe Remaster does materialize, it might be several years down the line. In the meantime, while the initial launch of the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster was digital-only, gamers on Xbox and PlayStation can anticipate a physical version release this Fall, specifically on November 8th.
