Exit, Frank West. Enter, Chuck Greene. Yep, Chuck's the motorcycle jacket-wearing dude that we've been seeing so much of in the Dead Rising 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) assets that Capcom has so far deemed fit for public consumption. Learn more details about the game after the jump.

Zombies on a plane? Naw. Samuel L. Jackson is busy. Zombies in a casino hotel, however? Maybe. That's if this supposedly leaked trailer for (the supposedly multiplatform) Dead Rising 2 is any indication. Heck, let's throw in rolling hamster balls and Frank West in his Megaman suit too, while we're at it.

Aside from getting all extra Xbox 360 content as well as the bonus playable characters for the PC version of Lost Planet (Xbox 360, PC, PS3), the PS3 version will get an exclusive playable character, Luka. More details in the full article.

 

Not only will Sony PlayStation 3 owners finally get the chance to play Capcom's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, but the game's latest reiteration will also include all extra content from the Microsoft Xbox 360 and PC versions. The package will have everything that used to be available only through download from XBL, or a patch often hosted by Steam.

If the post on PS3's semi-official ThreeSpeech blog holds true, we're looking at three sets of map packs (initially went for 400 MS points each), various view modes, movie mode, a chat system, more multiplayer maps for the PC, and other bonuses Capcom dished out since Lost Planet's release all in one Blu-ray disc.

When we say everything, that includes extra characters previously exclusive to the PC. We're talking about that NEVEC soldier Joe, Frank West from Dead Rising, and Mega Man who needs no introductions. There will still be online mode that supports up to 16 players, only over PSN this time.

During Capcom's Gamer's Day in London where Lost Planet was announced for the PS3, other jaw-dropping titles were revealed (read: Super Street Fighter 4). Looks like Capcom is on a roll, and you can bet our eyes are peeled so be sure to check back for any updates!

A few days ago, Games Radar published an article - "Five game characters with one foot in the closet" - naming Kratos from God of War, Marcus Fenix from Gears of War, Jimmy Hopkins from Bully, Frank West from Dead Rising and Vaan from Final Fantasy XII as members of the LGBT community. A bunch of you kids might think it's funny but some members of the gay community were offended by it.

Starting off is their supposition that Kratos may be gay because he "accidentaly" killed his wife and daughter, which may mean he's got a grudge against women, "or something." Hassan Mirza, Gay.com's news editor told GamesIndustry.biz that this particular suggestion is misinformed. Why would straight men think that gay men hold violent grudges against women, after all?

PinkNews.co.uk retaliates by publishing the offending Games Radar article with the question: "What is the point of "outing" characters? Is this yet another bunch of childish 'str8' boys laughing at gay people?"

Mirza further elaborates that the article's facetious tone, dismissive of an impressionable audience, justifies making jokes about the LGBT community. Another suggestive, and allegedly misinformed comment was about Frank West dressing up in woman's clothes and children's clothes for a bit of "carnal experimentation."

Gays want the gaming community to know that while it's reassuring that gamers actually care about the sexual orientation of their digital superheroes, it's not very reassuring to read that the gamers rely on juvenile stereotypes about the LGBT community.

It'll be very interesting to know what you guys would make of this sort of situation; feel free to comment below.
