Frank West:

Frank West is back, bigger, badder and better than ever before. T.J Rotolo returns as Frank's voice actor, as well as portraying the original version of Frank's personality. His face more resembles DR1 Frank than DR4 Frank, but his default outfit is the Dead Rising 4 attire, now with aviators and a black backpack. As well as that, the camera now swings from his pants like the latest game than the first one. In this reboot, he is an up and coming reporter, recently returned from a war zone where he got to witness the horrors of war first hand.

The Location:

The location for Dead Rising: Reloaded is Inafune Resort in Florida, U.S.A. The resort features multiple activity areas, two casinos, five star accommodation, an airfield, golf course and a mega mall, celebrating it's 5th anniversary. The resort is the same size as Dead Rising 3's map, but in Dead Rising 3, a large portion of the city was cut off, so although this world is the same size, it has more fit into it, where as sections of Dead Rising 3's world were cut out. The mall and casinos take centre stage, with the other areas spreading out from the centre.

Inafune Resort Mega Mall: -Caribbean Cove -Shining Star Plaza -Royal Flush Plaza -Alfresca Plaza -Sandy Shore Plaza -North Plaza -Central Plaza -South Plaza -Miami Boardwalk -Colby's Movieland -Food Court -Leisure Park -Inafune Resort Ten-Pin Bowling -The Amphitheatre Casinos: -Americana Casino -Dead Man's Hand Casino

As well as the mall and casino, there are numerous other locations scattered around the retreat. These include the following: -Inafune Resort Hotel -Inafune Resort Pool & Spa -Inafune Nature Reserve & Hiking Track -Inafune Resort Golf Course -The Beach Bar -Inafune Resort Airfield -Inafune Resort Museum -Ranger Station Alpha (Northern Safehouse) -Ranger Station Bravo (Southern Safehouse)

And then there are the activity stations: -Kayaking Station -Canoeing Station -Rock Climbing Station -Abseiling Station -Rope Course I  -Rope Course II   -Bungie Jumping Station -Archery Station -Gun Range -Camp Cook-off Station

Game Modes:

7 Day Mode: "You have seven days to uncover the story of the Inafune Resort zombie outbreak before a mass fire bombing wipes the incident off the face of the Earth."

7 Day Mode is the story mode of this reimagination. The timer from Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2 returns, but I know this would annoy a lot of people. People complain you don't have enough time to do things, and mess around or have fun. Well, with the same amount of missions, I've spread them across seven days instead of three or four. Overtime mode is included in 7 Day Mode. Includes 2 Player Co-Op.

Sandbox Mode: "Go wild in a world without a limit. Enjoy all the zombie slaying thrills at Inafune Resort without having to check your watch. Or, go hardcore in a fight for survival with the new Survival option."

Sandbox mode returns from Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, as well as everything that came with it, including challenges. The Survival mode option is just Infinity Mode from the original installment.

Multiplayer: "Phenotrans and the U.S Rangers square up in a battle for supremacy and to capture the ultimate bioweapon of the zombie infective stimulant, Queens."

Multiplayer has Phenotrans and U.S Rangers face off in Team Deathmatch, Capture the Queens or Domination in competitive multiplayer games. Players will spawn at their respective Safehouses, along with numerous weapons. With in their games, you will have to hunt for weapons and food at the resort. Your level is separate from Sandbox and 7 Day Mode, and Multiplayer features it's own level system. All of the features from the main game are carried over, including combo weapons and vehicles (these are earned by levelling up in multiplayer). In the in game lobby, players can vote for a map. There are 3 on disc maps. Inafune Resort: Mega Mall, Inafune Resort: Casino Line and Inafune Resort: Beach Bash.

Psychopaths:

Psychopaths are a key aspect to Dead Rising, and every time a new game is announced, one of everyone's first questions is who are going to be the psychopaths. Psychopaths are meant to provide a challenge, be entertaining and provide a cool reward for defeating them, which is the main focus on the psychopaths in this reboot.

Side Scoop Psychopaths: -Sean Keanan & The Rainjacket Cult -Kent Swanson -Adam Macintyre -Cliff Hudson -Randall Tugman -Seymour Redding -Albert Contiello -Jimmy Kilpatrick & Jericho -Raven Wrong -Alexi Kapruov

Sean Keanan & The Rainjacket Cult- Sean the cult leader and his Rainjacket Cult return from the first game. Their appearance in this game is very similar to their original, only really changing location and time. Upon entering Shining Star Plaza after 9:00 (morning) the third day, their intro will be triggered. However, you do not get to fight Sean. At 11:00 in the morning on the fourth day, you will be given a call by Stacey Forsythe, and this will launch the next case, "A Rather Strange Group". You must travel to Colby's Movieland, and everything carries over from the original game. The reward for defeating Sean is the Ceremonial Sword, 20,000 Prestige Points, 5 survivors and the Brain Washing book.
