The prequel to Dead Rising 2 is coming to Xbox Live on August 31st and we now have the full achievement list of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.
While Dead Rising: Case Zero became a big success for what could be considered paid DLC, many are starting to speculate that major publishers and developers will be working to integrate this new type of prequel or preview DLC into other major titles. It could represent a nice opportunity for additional revenue in big franchises for top publishers.
I definitely see this sort of thing happening. They can make a bunch of $$ doing this in between major releases, and sort of tease the big features of the next disc release.
This is bad.
Dead Rising 2 was three games. There was the Case Zero prequel, and then the Case West epilogue. What the heck?
Anyone remember the good ol' days when you bought a game and it was actually the full game?
No substance... The guy is just blindly naming the most popular sellers with no real proof of anything!
THis will be bad because they will purposely not give you the entire game and make you pay a lot of money for the DLC that so you can know the what happens in the rest of the game....smh we as the people can't support this because it is wrong. When I purchase a game I want to play the ENTIRE GAME and not a part of it. I am applying logic to this so only some of these idiots on N4G will understand the rest will have to dumb it down quite a bit for them.....smh
I don't mind if it's actually a separate story and not a glorified demo. And agreed with GWAVE, there is a fine line between a quality standalone DLC piece and getting charged for the beginning and end of a game. I once hated DLC, but releases such as Undead Nightmare and Lair of the Shadow Broker have given me faith in the idea as they are both quality experiences that stand alone from the main game. I think DLC has great potential, but to quote Uncle Ben, "with great power comes great responsibility." Unfortunately the DLC also has the power to be a bad thing and let developers force us into paying more for a full game.
Long story short, DLC is awesome when it is made for the right reason. When it's not, it's an abomination.
finished Shadow broker 20 mins ago best mission so far!!! best battles i had too
I do have case west and zero. zero was well worth it seeing i put 10 hours in for 5 bucks. west I haven't played yet

He He, MW2 back down to where it belongs, #2. The king has once again taken his rightful place at the head.
It was inevitable. Just goes to show you how many people are still playing MW2 though.
Will be interesting to see what happens when Black Ops and then Medal of Honor are released.

I am not saying anything to disparage those activities, I just think it's funny that it is broken down along those lines. I am on the side of "Killing Aliens" way more than I am "Killing People". I prefer my violence to have a less human face.
Lol, wait thats kinda redundant...you know, cos psn. . .activity. . .actual people online. . .get it? Aaah forget it, my humour is wasted on you
Microsoft/Crapcom announces a demo.
Charges for it.
Calls it a prequel.
Sheep buy it.
Too bad this will never be available to PS3. Urgh. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping Capcom
I think it's only 400 MS points.
Fuck off. Was going to get it until I found out they're charging us to PLAY A FUCKING DEMO!
It might never happen!
This Arcade game is a thanks from Capcom to all of its 360 fans FOR making Dead Rising what it is today. But who knows right, you never know. IN other news SHANK is almost upon us!
