Then why not UNLOCK THEM FROM THE BEGINNING IF THEY'RE FREE?!

knowyourstuff4250d ago

It takes extra time to code it, but when you have to work 80 hours a week to meet a tight deadline like most videogame devs do, you really can't always debug all your code to make sure it works perfectly, and run all the testing in time, so you do all that post release and release a patch to get that functionality in (which is why some of the code was already on the disc in the first place, it just wasn't finished).

Effectively, this is how a lot of day 1 DLC is done, because it takes 3 months to manufacture a game, during that 3 month period if you need to you can continue testing and coding and releasing day 1 patch so the game isn't broken, or if you just want to release a little bit of something extra like an extra hard difficulty.

"Ada Wong's campaign will also be made available for all players from the start, rather than having to complete Leon, Chris and Jake's campaigns first."

^this part doesn't really make sense. i can see why they'd unlock it right away: if everyone has it unlocked then the new online co-op for this campaign is more accessible for everyone. BUT, no one should really play this one first, even though it is Ada (unless they don't care about being spoiled for the other 3 campaigns, though it is obvious). they should just unlock her campaign after beating one of the others if they want it to be available to everyone while not spoiling the story.

Muffins12234250d ago

You would find a way to make this look shitty....

crxss4249d ago

^LOL bubble up for you sir

HammadTheBeast4249d ago

Sh*t game, not even free "dlc" can make this better. Honestly, this isn't dlc. It should be in a patch or something, you can't call a difficulty level dlc.

kparks4249d ago

difficulty is not a problem so who cares about this dlc! I beat it on professional and the only time i died was coming out of a damn cut scene or due to the absolute crap camera angle!! u would not believe how may time im shooting a zombie with the shotgun they jump at me im about to shoot them in the air then the game goes into a cut scene then when u come out the cut scene ur dead LOL WTF!! and how about in leons campaign when he is swimming from the shark and ur not even moving ur just flailing in the water HAHA

Highlife4249d ago

have you played the game???? Finding most just spout off.

ThanatosDMC4249d ago

Yeah, Ada a clone... wtf were they smoking. Also, Chris' story and ending... horrible. It was only worth playing Leon's campaign.

CynicalKelly4249d ago

You obviously didn't play it.

hkgamer4249d ago

dlc is there to add content so that gamers cling onto games for longer and do not resell them. 2nd hand sales decrease means new game sales increase.

doogiebear4249d ago

WHEN is it coming out? I'm not gonna play the Ada story until this patch comes out. It's stupid that the whole game is co-op but when u get to Ada, it stops being co-op. So I play the whole game with my GF in split-screen just to end up playing solo? What a dumb decision that was...

yewles14250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

Exactly, why call it "free" NOW when they required an unlock patch? Hand getting caught in the cookie jar is all.

TheUndertaker854250d ago

... And yet wasn't this exact thing already confirmed as free and unlockable in RE6 already? Ya know, the other RE6 article you commented on that claimed RE6 had DLC on disc when everything they listed as DLC could be unlocked through RE6 itself?

... Or are you just here to troll about "Crapcom" every two seconds and a game it seems you haven't even played nor touched? I guess sitting on the outside allows you to have an inside opinion though.

DaThreats4250d ago

Ada Wong's campaign will also be made available for all players from the start, rather than having to complete Leon, Chris and Jake's campaigns first.

Aww they shouldnt of done that
Its a nice reward to beating the campaigns

eferreira4250d ago

you'll never know if it was free or not to begin with. Just be happy. Capcom did good

cleft54250d ago

People just want to hate. Look at all the great free dlc for the ME3 mp. People still hate on that game.

meatnormous4249d ago

Having a blast with ME3 mp.

tack1294250d ago

I am not going to complain about a free update. Even if it is on the disk.

I still am not going to buy the game though.

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot3d ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga2d ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj1d 16h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia3d ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord2d ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame8182d ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas6d ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome6d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh5d ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine5d ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor5d ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

Cacabunga6d ago

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff21836d ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer19926d ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H96d ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-646d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H96d ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere6d ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan6d ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg5d ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel6d ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast6d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff21836d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss116d ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.

anast5d ago

Yeah, the content, combat movement is slower, less vocations, the armor system, it's more simplified, and dungeons are lacking. It's like they rushed it out or something, but didn't forget to add in youtuber pawns and micros. At least ME 2 upped the content.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel11d ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga11d ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot11d ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B11d ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga11d ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb11d ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya10d ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

fsfsxii11d ago

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid11d ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman11d ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Levii_9211d ago

Come on State of Play already!!!
