Ordered Sam & Max during its first week? Enjoy some Sam & Max themed content in Valve’s Team Fortress 2. Buy Left 4 Dead 2’s “The Passing” DLC? Enjoy a message from Dead Rising’s lead zombie smasher Frank West — free of charge.
It was brought to our attention earlier this morning, via Original-Gamer, that Frank West makes the slightest of cameos in Valve’s latest piece of DLC. Observable on a bathroom wall in Chapter 2 are the words of Frank West. “Otis,” it prefaces, “Out of film, no helicopter. Zombies are too fast. Not going to make it.” Signed Frank West.
As MTV Multiplayer notes, and we totally forgot about, this isn’t the first time Valve has taken a cute jab at the Dead Rising folks. The Zombie Genocider Achievement in Dead Rising had players murdering 53,394 zombies (mostly in an underground garage) in order to earn the precious points. Left 4 Dead’s Zombie Genocidest Achievement, a clear poke at Dead Rising, had players mowing down just one more: 53,395, to be exact.
