Resident Evil 2 Microtransactions - Are There Microtransactions in RE2 Remake?

From GameWatcher: "The Resident Evil 2 Remake is out just this month and we're hugely excited, but a lot of people are concerned about additional DLC purchases in the game. Are there Resident Evil 2 Microtransactions?

There's been talk about them for a while, but if Resident Evil 2 does have microtransactions, then what could they be? If not, why do people think they're there? We've got the definitive answer to the question if Resident Evil 2 has microtransactions. Hopefully you'll like it..."

What the hell was this?

"We've got the definitive answer to the question if Resident Evil 2 has microtransactions."

They didn't "definitively" answer this question at all. They just made a guess that the MT's would only be so people could purchase the exclusive Special Edition items if they didn't buy that edition of the game lol. This is only a guess as there is no confirmation that's what it is.

Hes basically confirmed there will be

Apparently headlines don't really have mother arch up the the claim or content lol!

[Hardiman]

Edit: Apparently headlines don't really have to match up to the claim or the content lol.

I agree, they don't have the definitive answer because review copies haven't been distributed yet as far as I'm aware

So, is DLC considered the same as like mobile micro transactions? While both are technically a micro transaction I consider DLC separate because it’s a one time buy and keep where as mobile micro transactions are consumables you can keep spending money on and once used they’re gone.

The reason I’m asking is “DLC” is nothing new to this series it’s been going on since the online marketplace was conceptualized. RE5 had mission DLC and mercenaries DLC. When these people are complaining and about micro transactions in RE2 and I read that it’s items included in the Deluxe Edition that seems more DLC to me at which point I have to ask, “What’s the big deal?”

[CorndogBurglar]

Because there are people that believe that games should be released with all content included and the only DLC that is acceptable is content that is released well after the game launches, just so we know it's more of an update rather than the company having a bunch of finished content that they held back at launch so they could charge extra for it. I can't say that is wrong at all. Especially in single player games.

I'm not necessarily against that. But at the same time there are very few games that do that. On the other side, the price of games has not increased since the Xbox 360 released. That's almost 15 years. I'm fine if companies want to offer extra costumes or cosmetic items like that. Things that are totally optional.

But again, there are people that are against even that and think all content should be included or unlockable through gameplay at launch. I donxt disagree, but the industry has changed and I think an level of compromise is justified. It's just up to our judgement to determine when something is going a bit too far.

Thanks so much, your suggestion worked for me. https://liteblue.me

If its a lot of cosmetics, guns and gameplay boosters splattered all over the games store day one via microtransactions etc I wont day one this game.

If it's simply on the box just because the deluxe version has an extra outfit or something i'd be more willing.

[bigmalky]

Hmmm. I feel that MTs, if they are in RE2, will be for Mercenaries mode.

Not a huge deal, as I'll be playing for the SP campaign, but it would be nice to know the details before release.

[Smokehouse]

Probably the same MTs that are in RE7. They aren’t bad, they are essentially “lazy mode” and not relevant at all to most of us. Coins for random things to make the game easier. I didn’t even know they were they there until I went to download the Zoe DLC. Go look at the RE7 MTs if you want an idea.

We will be completely blindsided now watch. 2.99 for x5 ink ribbons!
Ha imagine! That's about the only way my hype for this game could die now

[carcarias]

Well, all DLC has to be looked at on an individual basis before people get there torches and pitchforks out - and I say that as someone who looks at DLC harshly.

For example, if the micro-transactions for RE2 are outfits then I really don't care. I don't consider that to be 'withheld gameplay'. It's a cosmetic thing.

However, when they released day 1 Prothean DLC for Mass Effect 3, I was appalled. Anyone whose loves the series knows exactly what a big deal the Protheans played in ME lore. The other 2 (withheld imho) DLCs should have been in the game at launch too. The Leviathan DLC actually helped counter-act some of the crap in the atrocious ending slightly by giving you a heads up about the Reapers origin. The Citadel DLC gave people what they had been promised would be in the game from the start; a chance to meet up with old favourite characters and have an adventure.

Instead, EA decided that despite having already paid $60, you shouldn't have the complete experience without paying more on top. Even more stupid is the fact that most people would have already finished the game by the time the DLCs were released. So yeah, they experience the entire story, make the whole journey through the game and then are expected to retro-actively insert those new bits into their original experience. If you're gonna do DLC, at least have the decency to make it prequel or epilogue stuff. Heh, EA and decency :s

You know they're optional right? Capcom don't auto debit your account once a month. You do know that right? Ok. Just checking.
