*SPOILERS* THEORY - DR4'S FRANK IS NOT FRANK YOU KNOW

[TSMFDR]

Y'know, i feel very bad about DR4's Frank. He's different. It seems that DR4's Frank is other guy, imposter. I don't play DR4 but saw some gameplay videos, so this theory might be false. Prepare some tea/coffee/juice/FAT CUP OF PISS and enjoy.

Original Frank - Frank in DR1, DR2OTR/CW(OF)
Impostor Frank - Frank in DR4(IF)

Why DR4's Frank is not that Frank you know and love?

1. Name

In DR4, according to the notebook, Frank's full name is Francis Algernon West. Well, it's might be a true Frank's name, if not one thing. Press card in OTR. It's reads "Name: Frank West". Actually, press card shows a full name, like Steven, not Steve. Well, I can say that IF name's Francis Algernon West.
 
DR2OTR press card.

DR4's "Frank" notebook profile.

2.Characterics

OF is calm, a liitle bit sarcastic person, who can joke only a liitle. IF is cynical, highly sarcastic, selfish and less sympathic to people. 

3.Appearance

OF have some bald issues, that shown in OTR and CW. He used some baldness remedies, but they don't work to well. Maybe because of incompatibility with Zombrex, Frank decided to don't use them, and to 2021 he get bald. 



8:24 - does the man looks like Frank? He's bald too, he's looks like OTR's Frank.

Also, OF has chestnut hair, and IF has a coal black hair. Did he recolor hair? Not likely.

And face.

Is that theory good? It's your to decide.

That man in DR3 intro doesn't have the forehead lines as Frank (Frank's is wavy horizontal, this one is verticle lines at nose)

OTR Frank's sunglasses are bigger and he does not wear gold neck chains

in DR4 he says Thanks McGuyver, it's like he had rarely made combo weapons ever before
in Case West which he actually appeared, he barely has a spiked bat and that's it.

[superdemonsam1991]

But yeah the voice actor didn't try hard enough to get close to Frank's voice/accent

[Mathrman99]

I'm quite fond of Frank from dead rising 4 just being a psychopathic wannabe of the real frank west. Makes sense kind of

[r1660]

Hes not Frank West, he's actually Hank East, brad just walked into the wrong room

[chadeichart]

Yeah that guy's definately not Frank .
There's some good arguments here and i'm glad i'm not the only one who has that theory !
Because also when he gets asked which wars he covered he doesn't seem to know ,seems uncomfortable and changes the subject !
It's like he KNOWS Frank West and claims to be him but he doesn't really have any background information .
He's probably just a psychotic fan who followed Frank's story from Willamette on .
Just doesn't know anything about his life BEFORE that so he couldn't answer !
