Jösses, då vet jag man vad jag gör i vinter då!

Frank ser ut att ha åldrats mer än vad spelet har. Från typ 27 år (tror han var 35 eller nåt sånt egentligen) till vad som ser ut som allra minst 47 år.

Could you tell me a bit about Frank West’s redesign? He looks and feels a bit older than the 2006 version. Was that something you wanted updating the character?

Takamatsu: I supervised the character design, modeling, and lighting for the original game, and even now I love the artwork that was produced. I really like protagonist Frank West as a character, and for several months in the early stages of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster’s development, we worked to improve upon the specs of Frank’s original character model.

As we were rebuilding the game and working to create a “more realistic” visual art style, the team felt like we’d reached an impasse on Frank’s concept as “an average American ‘tough guy’ on the verge of turning 40” and “a journalist who’s always looking for an opportunity to turn his life around.” For DRDR, we decided to “reorganize” visuals, which had become more diversified than we’d anticipated since the birth of the series roughly 20 years earlier.

Using the “average Joe” concept as a foundation, we deconstructed and reorganized Frank’s various aesthetics from over the years. We then infused some masculinity to better express his toughness and life-related frustrations and rebuilt his character design from there. In terms of a “tough physique,” we opted for a beefier body type that resembles someone who’d trained as an American football player in school, occasionally goes bowling on the weekends, and has enjoyed his share of beer and bacon cheeseburgers.

We also gave him a few more wrinkles to help create more vivid facial expressions, but we might have gone a bit overboard in that area. Haha! Frank’s aesthetic was also adapted for added versatility that works well in an array of situations – serious in-game scenes, female clothing fashion shows, and bouncing around in children’s outfits to name a few. He’s changed a bit from the original game, but I think his design fits well within Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.

Japanska utvecklare verkar ha någon fetisch för att vanställa ansikten ändå, bortsett från Hideo Kojima.

Ska bli kul att testa men oklart om jag hinner med idag.
