$66.5 Million for Prototype 2 DLC

Possibly a glitch but would you buy DLC for 4,294,967,295 MS Points?

"A single MS Point works out to be about $0.02 (CAN). More math. The total cost to grab that content is $66,571,993.00. So either that content will tear a hole in the space-time continuum because it's so awesome or Radical Entertainment wants me to personally fund their next project, which is so not happening!"

Who else but Activision!

Solid_Snake374370d ago

lol this happens way too often with Activision, maybe they hope some billionaire accidentally buys it? Lol

brish4370d ago (Edited 4370d ago )

I already bought it and I don't even have Prototype 2!

I guess all you n4g users don't want to support the industry. Traitors!

Snookies124370d ago

Man, greatest DLC of all time?

Frenza4370d ago

Since when was it allowed to post blogs on N4G?

JJRivers4370d ago

Wondered about that... Thought I'd post and see what happened.

ThatEnglishDude4370d ago

Since always, providing they share news/insightful opinions and views.

JJRivers4370d ago

Duly noted.

But what about stuff from Kotaku, etc? That's blogilicious most of the time.

banana4204370d ago

Hmm... if was EA no one would even question this :P

BlmThug4370d ago

It just means the content is unavailable as of now, the final price of the content is not the one shown above

JJRivers4370d ago

But if you had the dough, is there anything preventing Mr. Moneybags shelling out that cash to get the DLC? Why even show it as a selectable option?

KingOfArcadia4370d ago

It's a placeholder... and even if Mr. Moneybags tried to buy it, they wouldn't get anything other than an error message I would guess. They list the price so high so no one tries to purchase it.

SilentNegotiator4370d ago

@king

I doubt that Microsoft does NOT have a way of putting the data on their systems without posting it publicly. They could easily just do that.

I'm sure it's just an experiment or else just a publicity stunt. Probably both.

The Worst Eighth-Gen Remasters

In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.

Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.

FinalFantasyFanatic964d ago

I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.

ZeekQuattro963d ago

Glad Square really likes putting out demos. It can help you dodge a bullet. Lol

Rangerman1208964d ago

To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.

porkChop964d ago

I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.

Christopher964d ago

Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.

Petebloodyonion964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).

So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)

Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.

Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run Producer “Could See It” Being Remade or Remastered

In a recent interview, the producer of Radical Entertainment’s cult-classic Simpsons game, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, spoke on the possibility of a remake or remaster.

I would love to see it, but EA owns the rights to Simpsons games, and they have done nothing with it for years now, so I can't see it happening. They own the license still for one reason, to keep making money from that crappy mobile game (probably the only reason why they got hold of the licence in the first place)

In all honesty, I would rather not have a remake at all with EA in charge. I would much rather see it in the hands of any other company before that happened.

GrizToof1652d ago

If they did remaster the game it would be censored by idiotic sjws. The Indian man we loved from the show Apu Nahasapeemapetilon would be ripped out of the game so fast.

InKnight7s1652d ago

Don't forget making a lot of female characters playable and independent and act masculine and makes Bart and Homer sissies.

NnOric1652d ago (Edited 1652d ago )

Please, stop bringing politics to topics where there are none.

InKnight7s1652d ago

I had ran Hit and Run on PC last month on emulator, it did really aged well, cell shaded really can live two generations. Just like Dark Cloud 2. A proper remastered version would be awesome then a sequel.

KeenBean3451652d ago

The game has aged so well and is a great time. Boggles my mind how EA haven't seen the potential in reviving the series

2BlackBelt1652d ago

Yes please!
PS4/PS5 Remaster/Remake asap.
