>Japanese devs make American character ugly on purpose >create one of the most kino vidya protagonists
>>748760751I never got the feeling Frank was ugly or frumpy. Frank was just cheesey at times but a total Chad who survived Willamette.
>>748760751Was he supposed to be ugly? I always thought he was made to be like a campy B horror film actor.
>>748760751Not even ugly just your basic jar head dude from the 2000s
>character doesn't look like a super model (like the S.T.A.R.S members)>"urgh, he's so ugly"
>>748760912>>748761043>>748761108>"To quote Keiji Inafune, one of the guys in charge of the design process for the game, about designing Frank West: “we didn’t want to make your specific Anime, nubile, 18-year-old Japanese character”. Hilariously, Keiji initially told the designers to “Make Frank ugly, make him fat”. However, the American branch of Capcom said he was too ugly"
>>748760912>>748761043>>748761108>>748761358did you take a look at the image OP posted???dude looks downright syndromal
He was changed to be less ugly actually, the final design is meant to be seen as more "average" than anything else. His beta design is far uglier.
>>748761692you look downright syndromal
>>748761358I love her!
>>748760751>>748761108We need more jarhead dudes from the 2000s
>>748761949bodied that freak
>>748760912Adam calls him gramps before his boss fight, and Jessie says she "can't blame (Isabela) for running from a guy with his looks". Poor Frank :(
I'm scared, Dead Rising bros
>>748761404I wish Itagaki was there to put those US Capcom faggots in their place>we made Frank ugly>the American reps said he was too ugly and to tone it down>so I made him even uglier
>>748765227What, are they going to threaten us with a remaster of DR2? It was already kinda shitty and didn't have much to ruin.
>>748760751He looks like a generic dudebro with a black guy's nose
>>748766293He's actually uglier>Bruce Willis-style widow's peak>big bulbous nose but with a dented bridge like he used to be a boxer>dadbod with poor posture>fauxhawk (sorta) in his default appearance, because he's a douchebag paparazzoBut he's actual beast in game and does shit like shotgunning entire bottles of wine to heal or rips guts out of zombies or people with his bare hands.
>>748766112In 2018 Capcom released a statement about how they wanted to keep development of their IPs in-house and in Japan moving forward, unlike Konami and their own history with "Capcom Vancouver". Giving Blue Castle Games power worked well for their business relationship when it came to DR2 and Off the Record, but DR3's development was saved partially due to Microsoft and DR4 was an absolute mess start to finish: famously the devs started working on the game as a "soft reboot Last of Us clone" after Microsoft asked them for one and it took them more than half a year to show the prototype off to Capcom Japan upon which the reception was "what in the everloving name of fuck are you doing, this isn't Dead Rising". Anyway point being, if there ever is a DR5, at the absolute very least it will be developed by Japanese devs, making it the first DR title to be done so since the very first one. Things could certainly not go worse than they did a decade ago oh god Dead Rising 4 is ten years old already, fuck me where does the time go
>>748766740A new DR being made entirely by the in-house A Team at Capcom would be the only thing that would get me interested. Any western team making it would just fuck it up. I feel you, bro. I remember being in college playing DR1 on my 360 and reading the strategy guide (a physical one) for tips on how to save all the survivors. And that was twenty years ago now.
>Hello?>Hello?>Anyone there?>Follow me!>Hello?>Follow me!
>>748767242WHAT'S..HAPPENING?
>>748767242FRAAAAAAAAAANK
I appreciate this recent trend of Dead Rising posts.
>>748760751I have seen uglier people in real life
>>748761404Coincidence that remake Frank looks closer to his beta model?
Why was 2 so damn horny?
>>748771042Took place in NotVegas, kind of comes with the territory
>>748771042It wasn't, really. The lewdness extended to those two (who are basically temptresses or femme fatales by design) and Chuck oggling the journalist's (hot) ass in one scene. And I guess there's the weird wedding hall psycho with all of the sexual innuendo with the big pink chainsaw and the sex shop, but I'd still argue the game was more chaste than it wasn't.
test
>>748769746Both Case Zero and Case West got PC recomps less than a month ago so hopefully that means more anons get to experience them for the first time. I still don't understand who thought it'd be a good idea to tie both DR2's prologue and epilogue to a dead console and marketplace forever.
Still shocked Capcom Vancouver tried to make a The Last Of Us copy out of DR4 without Capcom's permission, then had the audacity to ask permission for a Ghost N Goblins game where you play a literal golem cop killing innocent monsters as an allegory to 80s American racism.
>>748775336I kinda lament not having Case Zero easily available, but given how stupid the plot becomes in DR2 it doesn't end up being a big deal to me
>>748775336Also the main thing connecting DR3 to the first two games.
>>748776281Frank was robbed of his hot latina gf
>>748766740What even happened in DR4? Hopefully DR5 and Devil May Cry 6 gets made someday.
>>748777847all I remember is that Barnaby had a secret zombie lab under Willamette
>>748778234If true, they actually made the series plot even stupider than it got by the bullshit in DR2. Bravo, Kojima!
>>748760751Why does he run like that?
>>748777847>What even happened in DR4?Assholes were using Barnaby's old reasearch to try and create sentient zombies for military purposes and destroyed Willamette with only one(later two) succesful sentient zombies.
>>748777847Like, narratively? Some months after the events of DR3, "Frank" is now a photography college professor and is led by one of his students to investigate some military compound on the outskirts of Willamette 'cause they're doing zombie research. They're found and Frank is falsely accused by the government as a criminal. Some time later there's an outbreak in Willamette during Christmas and the asian dude you play as in that one "Four Survivors" DLC for DR3 finds Frank who hid instead of investigating the scoop and convinces him to go help fix things in exchange for clearing his name, and tells him that his ex-student was already there getting herself into problemsTLDR these zombies are a new strain for which Nick's cure is ineffective, and the military faction is called Obscuris and is looking for some zombie dude called Calder. Calder found a secret laboratory that Dr. Barnaby worked at (because apparently Carlito didn't call him to Willamette as stated in DR1 but rather he lived in the town?) trying to find immortality, and accidentally activated some machinery in it turning himself into an intelligent zombie. Calder has Barnaby's HDD with all his zombie research that Obscuris is looking for. Calder kills the Obscuris leader, Frank gets the info downloaded to his camera, Calder destroys the HDD, Frank and his student both kill Calder. They reconcile (oh yeah they were frenemies during the game because in this game Frank is a complete fucking retard asshole that laughs at human misery and only cares about the scoop), board a helicopter with the asian dude to escape, Frank is grabbed by zombies and he lets go to save the rest as he's eaten alive. The End. They then sold you Overtime via DLC
>>748777847>>748779078In "Frank Rising", turns out while being devoured alive the new experimental wasps turned Frank into pic related, an intelligent zombie with zombie moves and shit, you can eat humans and spit acid. Anyway an Obscuris scientist tells you they're firebombing Willamette, Frank and the Obscuris scientist get together a cure like Isabela in DR1's Overtime because the game has zero originality. He's a human again, then there's two endings: either Frank retires from journalism spending the rest of life in fear of becoming a zombie again or he becomes famous again, writing a book about his experience as a zombie that becomes a bestseller, and exposes the government's involvement with Obscuris.
>>748779078>because apparently Carlito didn't call him to Willamette as stated in DR1 but rather he lived in the town?)I think the idea was that Carlito called him to the mall.
>>748779078>>748779131Thanks wow WTF did not expect that Frank turning into a zombie part.
>>748779258Barnaby having pic related hidden under his house with what's presumanly early 2000s tech given he died in 2006 is still unfathomably retarded. Going "you know this character from an older game that's been dead for a while? Well they were secretly doing X or they knew Y all along!" always is.
>>748766740Dr5 new chatacter new storyThe only way to go>10yearsLalalala shut up shut up, i didnt read that
How bout we don't do another DR and just let it rest?
Oh yeah, and a DR5 *was* in development for a few months before DR4 came out. It was meant to take place between 2 and 3, with Chuck and Katey in a South American town with the former forced to work for the local cartel to finance Katey's Zombrex. Thank fuck it was cancelled, because it seems Dead Rising was gonna turn into The Memberberries Frank & Chuck Show™https://youtu.be/g_Rw1OMQcOMThe game went through half a dozen phases, from being like DR3, to trying to be more like 1/2, to being like Assassin's Creed because Capcom Vancouver hired a Ubisoft guy, to the last switch before cancellation where I shit you not they were trying to make a Soulslike with a stamina bar and Souls bosses. Oh and it was being made in UE4
>>748779451This is what happens when you give franchises to progressively stupider and less capable developers. It's like ME Andromeda or Dragon Age.>>748780243>Katey is a badass zombie killer nowThis is the same retardation as Sherry Birkin becoming an action movie star in RE6
>>748765227Does that mean unannounced games or uannounced release dates?Because that might include RE veronica
https://youtu.be/EahPg15iCxo
>>748760751I love frank west. He was one of my mains in ultimate versus capcom 3. I beat the shit out of my crew with him for years on end
>>748767242He looks better without the glasses.
>>748768346FRAAAANK
>>748766585>>748766293That’s not a black man’s nose lmao damm you people want to look white so bad
>>748760912>>748761043>>748761108Iirc the devs said he's supposed to be ugly
>>748780243I think the Katey design isn't bad but everything else to even the test footage looks rough. Let's hope Capcom makes the next one.
>>748784320Fewer things in DR bring my piss to a boil faster than retarded aggro NPCs that try to attack everything, get stuck in crowds, get grabbed, then need you to run back to save their retarded asses.
>>748785514Fucking lmao yeah for sure. That's part of the challenge imo. Iirc i told them corner up somewhere while fighty survivors got shotguns while i cleared a bit. The hammer throw skill is super useful for it. Just creates a walkway just like that
>>748760912For me its that that eerie period of the 7th gen where a lot of cut scenes turned the characters into horrifying muppets.
>>748766585>because he's a douchebag paparazzoDon't forget the popped collar, the most important bit of douchebag flair.
>>748785514Thats why I like in the second game getting as big a flock of survivors as possible, giving them guns, and then waiting as long as I could to turn them in. They'd mow down entire zombie hordes and watch eachother's back.
>>748760751has anyone pointed out the peter griffin outfit
>>748785514>escorting all the cult boss fight survivors through Paradise Plaza after 19:00 with more aggressive zombies and Day 3 horde numbers
>>748766585>>big bulbous nose but with a dented bridge like he used to be a boxerHe's a New Yorker, he's probably been in a few fights.
>>748785921Using the 'Move to (target)' function is absolutely essential, especially when you've got big survivor trains, and 150% especially when you have one or more survivors that have to be hand held or carried.>>748786079I don't think Capcom gets enough credit for how successful they were in making Frank come across as a literal scumbag in DR1, at least for the first 25% of the game until he gets on board with 'Ok, this is actually fucked, and we all need to work together to survive.'>>748786104You can give the survivors guns in DR1, but it's a real crap shoot (sorry, I had) because there's a wierd bug where the survivors will get stuck aiming at zombies that are too close to them, never fire, then get surrounded. I just prefer to give them melee stuff.>>748786480You can get the Brainwashing handbook in the closet with that other survivor woman there, which makes it easier.The worst escort parts in the game IMO are:>Day 1, when you have a big survivor train and have to cross the park, and the Convicts show up WEELLLLLL>Day 2 late when the raincoat cult faggots are all over Paradise Plaza and their suicide bomb attack can instantly kill a survivor if that survivor is at 75% health or less
Test
>>748785514
>>748786679Hello
>>748787062Yeah, you have to go literally shove them around to get them to queue up. I bet they had a ramp in an early build but it was somehow even worse, so they changed it to a block. One of the best things DR2 did was have a 10' x 10' space around the main air vent count as the delivery zone for survivors.
Saint nearly drove me insane. Dear god.
>>748787197In the remake it's a ramp there instead
>>748787698If Saint is the DR1 achievement for ALL survivors and the best ending, it requires a combination of meta gaming, being level 50, and knowing the game pretty damn well. I did it a few months ago and had a few instances of getting back with a 5+ survivor train with maybe 30-45 seconds to spare in some cases. Shit was tense, but worth it. Except for the earlier attempt where I rescued everyone but forgot the stupid bitch in the theater closet without realizing it.>>748787958You couldn't pay me to play that shit.
>>748760751Jap devs mog westerners, as western game devs are incapable of making this level of character customization.
>>748760751Is there a more popular vidya reporter?
>>748788073I know the game pretty well and it was still a pain in the ass because of the survivor AI. Holy fuck they're dumb.
>>748788207The only ass clench parts I have are escorting survivors through the park when the Convicts are there, or through Paradise Plaza when I have to come in from the park entrance, especially when the raincoat cultists are around.The biggest thing that always fucked me when trying for Saint in the past was having to remember where all of the unstated survivors are, like that fat fuck hiding in the Entrance Plaza clothing store on the first day you can miss really easily.
>>748788162Probably not. What's the competition, Madison from Heavy Rain? Miles from Outlast? Whoever you play as in Michigan: Report from Hell?
>>748788484The ugly hag from P5 comes to mind, but at least you can bang her.
>>748788484It's weird. You would think a reporter would make perfect sense for a horror or stealth game, but there's barely any representation.
>>748788073>being level 50Wait, why does it require you to be max level?>couldn't pay me to play that shitWhy not? Is there a controversy surrounding it?
>>748788726There's nothing requiring you from being max level, but I view it as a soft requirement if you're going for Saint because you want all of the health, inventory spaces, and moves you can get. Otherwise, it just becomes way, way harder.>why is the remake shitHere are some reasons:>Capcom outsourced it to a cheap Chinese company who half assed it>no reflective mirrors>censorship (no erotica photo class, no female zombie blowjob attacks, no revealing female zombie outfits, the Vietnam vet psycho doesn't call you a communist anymore, the fat butcher got changed to a midwesterner, and so on)>Frank looks worse and got flanderized a bit>I think they used a different VA for Frank, tooIt just sucks, anon. It's like WC3 Reforged or that shitty GTA SA 'remaster.'
>>748761404I can’t find the mage but I swear I’ve seen concept art of Frank were he was a literal ogre. Like not just “looks like shrek” but literally a shrek. Can’t find it for the life of me
>>748789064Remind me what saint is. Is it an achievment or boss or a npc? I haven't touched the game since its pc launch lol>Capcom outsourced it to a cheap Chinese company who half assed it>no reflective mirrors>censorship (no erotica photo class, no female zombie blowjob attacks, no revealing female zombie outfits, the Vietnam vet psycho doesn't call you a communist anymore, the fat butcher got changed to a midwesterner, and so on)>Frank looks worse and got flanderized a bit>I think they used a different VA for Frank, tooOh now i remember. Yeah that remaster was a piece of shit. They even removed franks "what in the world" line from the start of the game. For some reason
>>748775336They don't provide the files and I couldn't find them...
>>748789323Saint is the DR1 achievement for rescuing all of the survivors in the normal game (72hr mode) and (I think) getting the best ending.It's hard as fuck to do, but a good challenge if you like the game.
Ugleh Frank is not real, he can't hurt you
