Zombie-slaying photojournalist Frank West, the star of Capcom’s Dead Rising, has been popping up quite a bit lately, far beyond the plagued confines of Willamette, Colorado. He’s had cameos in Left 4 Dead 2’s DLC The Passing and will be a playable skin in Lost Planet 2, and there's a great chance he'll appear in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as well. Plus, I wouldn’t put it past Capcom to throw in at least some reference to West’s own zombie adventures in the upcoming Dead Rising 2.
In short, that’s a lot of Frank West. But, according to Capcom’s Seth Killian, the West lovefest is far from over.
“For better or for worse, (Capcom of) Japan has understood that 'the West' likes Frank,” Killian recently told Destructoid. “So maybe that's why he's called Frank West? I don't know...Rightly or wrongly (Capcom of) Japan is convinced that Joe Six pack here in America love God d*mn Frank West. He will be making appearances in as many games as they can get him into.”
I’m calling it now: Frank West to star in next Resident Evil. I already have the tagline: “He shoots to kill, and kills to shoot.” (Fun fact: Frank West also made a substantial appearance in my graduate thesis on the image of the journalist in video games. Man, does that guy get around, or what?!)

Am I the only one who's interested in reading Jake's thesis paper on video game journalism?
Papa_bear

Ridiculous

...Honestly Frank West doesn't seem like the kinda guy to import into multiple games. I mean seriously, what really stands out about him?

Maybe Capcom wants Frank West to be their new mascot. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have more than one each, why can't Capcom? And knowing them, they'll probably release the first Dead Rising for the PS3 around the same time they release DR2.

jungleman67

I would like Frank West a whole lot more if he ever made an "appearance" [hint, hint Capcom] on a certain little black machine made by Sony. Loved playing the first one at a relatives house but still can't see the logic of not putting this out on that certain little black machine made by Sony. Didn't they learn anything from RE4? I guess they just don't see what's so special about a boat load of cash. I mean why would anybody design a game for the sake of making money. That's crazy right? I didn't think so either. You would think after shoveling so much shovelware that they would be more inclined to utilize EVERY OPPORTUNITY to make a sale on ANY title that IS moving units.

Well he has covered wars, you know. I think that justifies Capcom's actions.

@greeknerd
he does look eastern european, can see why u see it. i'd take that look of frank west than the ugly mug he had in dead rising. had to cover his ugly mug with the yellow anime character head thru the whole game.

I'm going to buy TVC when it gets cheap just to play as Frank West. The dude doesn't even seem to realize he's in a battle!

Dead Rising is a good game, but I wouldn't save I "love" Frank West. I would care less if I never saw him again. But they put him in LP2 I am throwing it out, just because of the shier retardedness. >.>
greeknerd
Is it me or does Frank West look like Nico Bellic in the picture?
Onikinou
I haven't played dead rising so I don't know the personality of this character, BUT appearances alone aren't doing much for me... .
Bass.EXE
So that's basically a confirmation for Frank West in MvC3
JDarkley
"In as many games as possible," huh? How about a sequel to the game he was in so that, I don't know, us gamers could get some proper closure instead of that ambiguous as hell ending?
If he is in Dead Rising 2, I'll be happy.
NocturnalX
II'd rather have Megaman in as many games as possible. Hell, give me a Megaman armour set in Monster Hunter with a Megaman Buster Cannon as a Bowgun barrel
