Here's the key: Some shit is serious and I am serious when I talk about it because it requires the ability to be serious.

will definitely play this, but Dark Souls has my full attention Atm. Will pick it up once it gets cheaper
Still, all this is little more than window-dressing, which means the most significant addition to Off The Record is its Sandbox mode. It's not a series first - Dead Rising's Infinite Mode is the obvious inspiration - although this time, Frank's health doesn't deplete over time. Instead, 30 challenge missions are spread across Fortune City, unlocked as you pass kill targets, with each carrying three medal targets and associated monetary rewards.
The objectives are generally fairly straightforward, from killing a certain number of zombies in a strict time limit to earning a certain amount of PP with Frank's camera. In one sense, it's the ultimate no-pressure way to play Dead Rising, but the ability to earn PP to carry over into the main game feels a little cheap - it's easy to grind a few simple missions to level up quickly, rewarding persistence over skilful play.
Frank has a Bluetooth headset in place of Chuck's transceiver, and he can take Zombrex jabs on the move rather than returning to base. A handful of fresh psychopaths and survivors are scattered around Fortune City, but it's only the new combo weapons that really make an impact.
New features?There's new content, in that there are new combo weapons. There's a little bit more real estate, with an added section of the mall. But new features? Are you just referring to the return of Frank's photojournalist gameplay from DR1, or does the missing online count as a new feature, bear greaser?
I addressed all of this in the super official thread, thx
* Yes this is coming out this week* Yes this is practically the same game-- with new combo weapons-- with new areas-- with no gay TIR online-- with enforced co-op-- with a more sandbox mode (like DR1, you still die eventually)* This is only $40* KMart has a $15 coupon if you buy it* Yes this is coming to PC-- with GFWL* Yes I will immediately take off all of Frank's clothing to see just how big my man has gotten
