I have a feeling this whole "Rick" thing is just a well made up rumour though. The fact that we there hasn't been any other source telling us this information is one thing, but Frank strongly hinted with the whole Facebook thing. I think DR 3 is happening, and it could even be announced at the VGAs. But I'm not 100% convinced by Rick. Plus that image of him, I'm sure I seen that somewhere before.... could of just been a sneaky photoshop. And I would like a Frank + Chuck Dead Rising 3, and this time have split screen and be able to pick which one to play as. I loved Case West, and Frank and Chuck's friendship (if you could really call it that) was hilarious at times. They're both awesome characters and both deserve to be in the limelight of the next installment.

But, we have to remember, Capcom only care for one thing; our wallets. While I loved OTR Capcom has had a tradition of re-releases. I myself even fall into them thanks to Super Street Fighter IV and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. So, if this Rick one really is true, I'd expect an "Off The Record" version of Dead Rising 3 a possibility.

But it would be stupid for Capcom vancouver to make the same mistake twice, Frank is part of Dead Rising's success. The reason they created Off The Record was to make a version for the game for the old fans of the series. while I admired their creativity to create a new main protagonist I would just prefer for a Frank West return. :)
