Today’s Single Player DLC Doesn’t Stand a Chance

Justin Lacey offers up a solution to the unpredictable world of single player DLC, but will gamers and developers compromise on their expectations to make it happen?

If the game is good enough, single player DLC will be just fine. There's a delicate balance however - release too soon, and you get the "screw you for leaving this out of the original game..." rage. Release it too far after, and you have a large portion of the original community that has completed the game, and moved on to something else - possibly trading or selling the game.

I think if you have episodic content, that doesn't ADD to the story, but rather enhances it (side quests, new missions, new characters etc) and you have a schedule that is consumer friendly, you're as good as gold.

Well what halo 4 is doing is perfect. While its not sp it is doing episodic weekly co op campaign missions. And seeing as it weekly it will either be free or a small subscription fee (or free with special edition) I can't see them charging a lot for it seeing as it will e weekly

I'd rather have expansion packs that add hours of story/gameplay....not into 10 dollar sidequest....

DeFFeR4817d ago

You can add story - but you can't really add to the END of a story, because you'll eliminate the progression of those who don't purchase DLC. You may say "screw them" but there are far more people who don't buy DLC than there are that do in single player games.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro64d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher72d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy72d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster72d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot72d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal72d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.

Happy early April fools day 🤣

That one episode of Billy & Mandy where the very fabric of reality was destroyed when Mandy smiled. That's what'll happen when Valve finally counts to 3.

CrimsonWing6993d ago (Edited 93d ago )

Is this kinda like when it was supposed to be at the 2024 TGAs?

Xristo93d ago

No no no, 2010... you aint tricking me this time!
