Dead Rising fans have been looking for a time limit-free mode since the first game was released, and Capcom has officially announced that Dead Rising 2: Off The Record will have a sandbox mode:
"Players can explore the casinos, restaurants, malls and new Uranus Zone that comprise Fortune City without the obstacle of time. Challenges placed throughout the city offer players the chance to earn additional cash for use in the pawn shops and vending machines around Fortune City. Ranging from collection style challenges to vehicle-based challenges to zombie massacre challenges; the higher the rank of the player, the more cash they win.
Available from the outset and supporting both single and co-op modes, players can now explore all Fortune City has to offer without having to worry about the clock. In addition, Sandbox mode offers a selection of gruesome and unique challenges such as 'Rumble in the Jungle', 'Chop Suey' and 'Silver Strip Smackdown', all with online leaderboard support."
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is a full retail release that features Frank West as the main character of an overhauled Dead Rising 2. The game has an assortment of new missions, items, and features, and will be released in North America on October 11th and Europe on October 14th.
“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.
This alternate storyline means an all new Dead Rising 2 experience; with Frank facing new missions, new enemies, new combo-weapons with which to defeat them plus a brand new Fortune City attraction to explore. Complimenting the new narrative and action of Dead Rising 2: Off The Record are enhancements to elements such as the save system and the co-op experience to deliver more satisfying gameplay. Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is scheduled for release on PS3™, Xbox 360 and Windows® PCs this autumn.”
