id's post-apocalyptic open-world shooter Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) will look worse on Xbox 360 due to the compression needed to fit the game's assets on two DVDs, programmer John Carmack revealed at tonight's QuakeCon keynote.
According to Carmack, the royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn't a feasible solution, with the programmer hoping for Microsoft to make a concession. He stressed that the issue has nothing to do with the Xbox 360 hardware itself, and is merely a storage problem.
"The Vienna/Austria-based video games publisher/developer THQ Nordic and indie games developer Owned by Gravity, are today very excited and happy to announce that they have just released a brand-new update (update 15) for their strategy/RPG “SpellForce: Conquest of Eo” (the said update is available right now for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
While the standard $70 edition of the game may not grant access to the Day 1 exclusive mission, the Gold Edition priced at $109 and the Ultimate Edition priced at $129 both include the Season Pass.
If the content is ready to go day one, probably right to include it in the game?
DLC To me means the developers went on further to produce more chapters for the fans
Unless they finished developing and were sitting around twiddling their thumbs for months before release, I can’t see this is dlc
People keep defending this because it’s one mission out of probably a dozen from Jabba but it’s not the point, there shouldn’t be any locked behind a paywall
Ubisoft will do anything to kill hype for a game and hurt their own image in the process
The sad thing is the sales for this will be high, reviewers will give most issues they find the benefit of the doubt and Ubisoft will keep on trucking sadly.
Oops...they said the quiet part out loud....
Exclusive mission...Day 1...
In other words. Not early access. It's out day 1.
It's a bunch of horseshit. Some people enjoy eating horse shit these days but that doesnt make it any less shit.
Just wtf is ubi doing with this game lmao. God just let them release the game, then a story expansion about a year later. All these different editions and dlcs...
I know if the game is truly good then we could probably forget about the BS but I still think it's insane these publishers want to keep pulling stupid crap like this.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.
Here's to MS ponying up for that 3rd disc.
I predict a field day for the Sony fanboys this time.
Edit: Never said that.
Edit 2: @ mushroom avatar guy: No, I didn't admittedly.
blah blah blah
Oh boy...a developer saying such a thing? There will be alot of flaming and anger from one camp, and alot of champagne popping from the other. I'm gonna go play some more Eden.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA ROFL! Poor xbots.
TWO Dvds,and it STILL looks worse?
There's no way to spin it;Blu Ray is necessary for Hi Definition Content.
