With the recent announcement of Dead Rising 2, many people noticed that photojournalist Frank wouldn't be making an appearance as the protagonist this time around. Because of this, it's highly likely the sequel may not include the photgraphy element that appeared in the first game.
What do you think? Is this a good thing? Bad thing?

The first thing most of us noticed when Capcom confirmed Dead Rising 2 was the lack of the original title's lead Frank West. The second? Where's the camera?

There's an argument for not including the camera, so prevalent, so beloved in the first Dead Rising, in this sequel.

In the original Dead Rising you play as photojournalist Frank West, dropped into zombie-infested Willamette, Colorado to get photographic evidence of a conspiracy in the small town. The camera isn't just an interesting gameplay mechanic, it's an integral part of the storyline and something that helps identify West.
