Gamin' NEWS! Dead Rising 3 leak

There's very strange rumors around the interwebs lately. Regarding Capcom's other zombie franchise, the sand box beat 'em all series Dead Rising!
It seems they'll be catching up with the titular Resident Evil series with now a 3rd episode in development...


Already hinted on DR's facebook/twitter accounts with this following line:
"I’m getting packing for my new adventure – camera, notebook and baseball
bat. What else would i need for a break in paradise? - Frank"
Dead Rising 3 Is Set In California And The Protagonist Is An Auto MechanicIt seem though that the main character won't be Frank, nor DR 2's Chuck, but rather a new guy, the one you can see on the above picture (from the original leaked concept art picture right next to the text here).
Siliconera is reporting that they have received details regarding the next installment in Capcom's zombie sandbox franchise, Dead Rising. Claiming an unnamed source, Siliconera states that the game will take place in a fictional California town called Los Perdidos, quarantined by the government following a zombie outbreak.
"Dead Rising 3 brings zombies to the fictional town of Los Perdidos, California. After the zombie outbreak, the town is locked down and under martial law. No one can leave, but Rick and a group of survivors have other plans."
According to this source, players will take the role of an auto mechanic named Rick, who plans to restore a plane and escape by air before a bomb destroys what's left of the town. We're also told that Phenotrans is again at the center of events, with Dead Rising 2: Case West antagonist Marian Mallon returning to the series along with a new villain, General Hemlock.

Dead Rising 3 will reportedly feature themes relating to illegal immigration, with one group of infected survivors who have illegally kept their infection hidden from the US government. And, as you might expect, there will be people who lose their heads around the whole thing and have to be put down like rabid dogs.
Silly story/ideas, cheesy character and whatnot...
Sounds pretty Capcom-y if you ask me.

Rick looks like a plausible follow up to Frank West and Chuck Greene. He definitively got all the zombie tropes/references narrowed down. Named Rick after Walking Dead no doubt, ripped blue shirt/jumpsuit and chainsaw in hand, very Evil Dead/Army of Darkness too.

It seems to be aimed to 2012 on Xbox 360 and PS3, another Capcom franchise turned yearly episodic?

But what about those guys? DLC episodes? Co-Op characters?
