User blog:JPBrigatti/Dead Rising 3 DLC Idea 1: Begin Again

This is a Dead Rising 3 DLC Idea Concept. It's called "Begin Again". It's basically the Los Perdidos Outbreak from Chuck Greene's perspective.

Title:
Dead Rising 3 - Begin Again

Setting:
Los Perdidos

Main Character:
Chuck Greene

Optional Multiplayer Character:
A mobster, who came with Chuck and Gary to Los Perdidos to assist them. (Optional because I consider Co-op fun, and Gary should send Chuck calls which trigger the secondary missions.)

Exclusive Weapon(s):
Many combo weapons that come back from Dead Rising 2, as well as many new weapons, like a barbed wire. Also new combo weapons, which you get the blueprints by defeating the new psychopaths.

Exclusive Vehicle(s):
Some vehicles inspired on the combo bikes of Dead Rising 2, as well as a impromptu Zomboni, etc.

Exclusive Unlockable Outfit for Greene:
Something else equivalent to that of a Capcom homage. My dream is seeing a Dante (from DmC) outfit, with the Rebellion as an weapon. Unlocked by beating the game at the best ending.

Story:
Basically the outbreak from Chuck's perspective, getting in Los Perdidos until to the point he finds Katey.

2 years prior to Dead Rising 3, Chuck had been suffering from stress after constantly having to look for more Zombrex for Katey. Chuck chose a life of crime, and became a major mob boss. He used his status as a way to gain access to Zombrex.

Katey decided to run away, believing herself as a burden towards her father after seeing Chuck becoming stressed from all the work he has been doing. Chuck began to ruthlessly search for his daughter after her disappearance. Luckily, Chuck was able to have someone to help search for his daughter; that man being Gary.

After being informed of Katey's whereabouts, Chuck heads to Los Perdidos, only to find the city in a middle of a zombie outbreak.

Gameplay/Length:
The almost same as the normal Dead Rising 3. Includes new survivors and psychopaths (along with a very surprising one).

Extras & Cross-Over Options from Main Game save:
Allow the option to start with weapon lockers, outfits, and PP abilities from your Main Game save.This is only optional though.You can start a Chuck character from scratch. Keep in mind that this doesn't affect Nick's level in any way.

Allow the ability to use outfits on Chuck and the co-op mobster.

Allow exclusive weapons/vehicles from DLC to be used in Main Game.

New Psychopaths
NOW we're in the good part.

There are a total of seven psychos in this game. However, five of them are based on the Five Stages of Loss and Grief, in a similiar way of how seven psychos of DR3 were based on the seven deadly sins.
