Game of Origin:
Dead Rising
Origin:
When designing the main character of Dead Rising, Keiji Inafune, wanted the main
character to not be either good looking or ugly, but more an average American.
Story:
Frank West was just an Average Joe reporter who came to Willamette, Colorado
to get the story of a lifetime. At first, Frank thought it was just a riot with many
people attacking one another, but when he reaches the Willamette Parkview Mall,
he realizes he has gotten himself into a zombie outbreak.
After escaping the first wave of zombies, Frank ends up in the security room with
three other survivors; Brad Garrison and Jessica McCarney, 2 DHS agents, and
Otis Washington, a janitor at the mall. Frank decides to venture into the mall and
discover what's going on. He later runs into Jessie who tells him Brad is under fire
from a terrorist. Frank later dispatches the Terrorist, Carlito Keyes, and becomes
involved with rescuing a scientist who was involved with a previous zombie
outbreak in Santa Cabeza.
Design:
Frank wears a brown leather jacket, with a white button-down undershirt, and
brown pants with brown loafers. Frank also carries his trusty camera around his
neck throughout the entire game.
Frank can also get new looks through out the mall, such as suits and ties to
cartoonish Servbot heads.
Theme:
Frank has a simple catchy theme that plays at the end of Dead Rising:
Frank also got a new theme in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom:
