Yes, Dead Rising 2 is getting another expansion pack. Wheee:

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record, sees Wilamette survivor and hero of Dead Rising®, photojournalist Frank West, take centre stage as players experience a very different interpretation of events in this, a reimagining of the Fortune City outbreak. Forget what took place in Dead Rising® 2, this is Frank’s story told as only he can.

In other words: our sequel hasn’t been nearly as popular as we’d hoped, and Dead Rising sales in general suck on ice compared to Resident Evil, so we’re shoving DLC out as fast as we can to try and improve our profit margin.

But hey, there are some new combo weapons to use! Just don’t call it a retread.

Even though it is one.

I can’t wait for the Super Special Collector’s Platinum Edition DLC which will milk more money out of Dead Rising fans by giving Frank a handlebar mustache.

FYI: Between this game (outsourced by Capcom to Blue Castle Games in Vancouver) and the new Resident Evil: Raccoon City game (outsourced by Capcom to Slant 6 Games, also in Vancouver) I’m beginning to wonder about the depth of Canada’s hatred for the Differently Animated. Or at least, British Columbia’s.
