Red, White and Dead Zombie Producer Organizer Ryan Reiter says “XBOX 360 is a cool sponsor; last year they wanted to collaborate with Fremont Outdoor Movies for an event their own backyard offering an “out of the box” movie event celebrating enormously popular movie mythologies together with an experience that wraps around pop movie culture, in a way people can have the experience of being in their own video game an this is it!”

Dead Rising‘s story centers on Frank West, a photojournalist who ends up trapped in a shopping mall in the fictional town of Willamette, Colorado, that is infested with zombies. Frank must defend himself from zombie attacks, rescue survivors, contend with crazed psychopaths, and stay alive while still attempting to uncover the truth behind the incident. The player controls Frank as he explores the mall, using any available object as a weapon. The player can complete several main and optional missions to earn Prestige Points (PP) and gain special abilities. The game is designed as a sandbox game and features several endings, depending on the decisions the player makes along the way.

Keiji Inafune, designer of Mega Man and Dead Rising, wanted the main character Frank West to be different from the usual Japanese main character. Instead of having a young and beautiful protagonist, he wanted an everyman that looked average rather than beautiful or ugly.^[8]

Frank’s default attire includes a black jacket with a white button-up shirt, green khaki pants, and brown loafers. Frank’s appearance can be altered throughout the game by visiting the various stores of the mall. These range from changing into business suits and dresses to donning different glasses and even children’s masks. Many of Dead Rising‘s costumes are references to other Capcom games such as Frank’s unlockable Arthur’s boxers from Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Mega Man X–style armor, and a Servbot head.
