Is this free DLC?
kentuckyfried @ Mar 11th 2009 1:55AM
Does this mean there's going to be *gasp*
...a PATCH for controls?! HOLY SHIT!!!
The names of these modes don't make any sense with the control control scheme, that's all I'm saying.
JoeTheBlow @ Mar 11th 2009 5:43AM
*snort* This is Capcom, are you kidding me?
You'll be paying out your ass for this shit.
evanescfan @ Mar 11th 2009 6:59AM
that' what i wanna know
lasersanchez @ Mar 27th 2009 2:13PM
It sucks, but $5 is hardly paying out the ass. Back in the day, Capcom would update your catridge and charge you another $60 for it (Street Fighter II). Hell, Final Fight Guy didn't even make Final Fight arcade perfect.
URM0MLIK3SME @ Mar 10th 2009 11:30PM
THIS BETTER BE FOR THE 360 AS WELL!!!!!!
xFenixKnightx @ Mar 10th 2009 11:42PM
It will be, I read it somewhere earlier this morning.
Almozd @ Mar 11th 2009 2:14AM
i dont see why he was downvoted im a huge ps3 fan and only play ps3 but seriously he just wants it for 360 who cares why downvote him
DiggyStyle @ Mar 11th 2009 8:02AM

pibs @ Mar 11th 2009 2:34PM

You'd think that if they were working on something like this they might want to, you know, promote it some. I've been on the fence to buy this game for a while now and added multiplayer outside just campaign co-op is really appealing.
Also: Would team slayer imply more than just two players at once (you'd have to have at least two teams of two, right?)
ice~ @ Mar 10th 2009 11:39PM
Hey shouldn't these online multiplayer modes been shipped with the games?!?!?!?!?!?! Capcom....I'm starting to dislike you now...
JoeTheBlow @ Mar 11th 2009 5:47AM
Only now?
What about all those costumes that are available for ridiculous amounts of money for the fighting games, those things were free and unlockable ingame a year or two ago.
But having multiplayer modes ripped out of the game and sold seperately is a step too fucking far! A pox on you Capcom, you wallet-raping facists.
lasersanchez @ Mar 27th 2009 2:02PM
Capcom is raping my wallet even if I'm not buying this, I'm not even interested in it, and I feel like I got my $60 worth.
xFenixKnightx @ Mar 10th 2009 11:40PM
Online MP? With those controls? Scary...
BTW Im still gonna rent this so I was just wondering what were the best control options out there for it? Default?
whazam1337 @ Mar 10th 2009 11:43PM
Yes default and inverted
Josh @ Mar 11th 2009 12:51AM
Not inverted, you fool.
Wait, doesn't Chris play shooters inverted?
heh, Chris.
heh.
jeditrickster @ Mar 10th 2009 11:59PM
Holy crap that's cool.
Charlie_Six @ Mar 11th 2009 12:11AM
Heck yeahhhh. This seems like it will be greatest game of all time for me.
DesertPyrate @ Mar 11th 2009 12:01AM
Well as someone whose already beaten the story mode this will add nicely to replay value of the game
B3astofthe3ast @ Mar 11th 2009 12:12AM
This...is...huge.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:12AM
This better be free DLC. I mean, the game hasn't even dropped yet for North America and they're already near 'announcing' the content.
So why wouldn't said content be on the disc I already paid full price for? The online component for Mercenaries has already been active through an update with no additional charge so why should these updates be any different?
Ihavepants @ Mar 11th 2009 1:19AM
Uh maybe because announcing is slightly different to having the said announced content finished or even started on.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 1:27AM
If their is a corresponding Trophy for the DLC game types listed under the Trophies tab, doesn't that imply that the content is already finished?
Maybe I'm wrong but you need to have the content completed before you code for the Trophies. Otherwise it would be kind of inefficient?
Brodo @ Mar 11th 2009 11:16PM
It wont be free because then they wouldnt make as much money, you silly goose!!
And lets face it, most of us will whine and say "why am I paying for this when I already spent $70.00 on this game!" ,but we will be buy it because we cant resist
Tyson @ Mar 11th 2009 12:14AM
I hope this is ONLY for the PS3. I really hope it's a free DLC as well. PLEASE CAPCOM PLEASE!!!!
Jeff B Owning @ Mar 11th 2009 12:40AM
no need to be greedy. there is absolutely no point to wishing that DLC is ps3 only. It helps you NONE.
grow up. quit being a fanboy.
disclaimer: yes i own a 360, but my roommate has a ps3 that i play daily, i love both systems.
linebeginstoblur @ Mar 11th 2009 1:19AM
Why only for the PS3? What's the benefit to you? The ability to point and laugh at Xbox 360 users? Really? Isn't that it?
With all due respect, shut up. They're video games for crying out loud.
t3kni9e @ Mar 11th 2009 1:39AM
Agreed, it's not like it being on PS3 only is gonna do something for you... I hope this is true as I have just decided to get RE4 at launch seeing as Sacred 2 keeps gettin delayed.
t3kni9e @ Mar 11th 2009 1:40AM
I mean RE5 :P
Emophia @ Mar 11th 2009 5:51AM
As someone who only owns a PS3 (and gaming PC), if you think only the PS3 should get it you'#re an ass.
Share the love.
j.howlett @ Mar 11th 2009 7:05AM
people say share now but when we're reminded that ms worked out something with capcom for something exclusive the tone will revert
Charlie_Six @ Mar 11th 2009 12:14AM
Aw man... I want to get the 360 one because I prefer the graphics in that one over the PS3's. But, if this DLC costs money like it probably will, then it will be 80% cheaper to buy that DLC on the PS3 due to PSN letting you share DLC with 4 other people (see cheapassgamer.com forums).
Quite a conundrum...
Popfrogs @ Mar 11th 2009 1:25AM
Not only that but the PSN uses real money instead of mickey mouse points so you don't over-purchase points to buy something cheaper.
Anticrawl @ Mar 11th 2009 12:21AM
It better be free. I hate when companies whip up DLC before the official release and then sell it at or near launch. Should be illegal.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:34AM
If you were to go to a car dealership and they sold you a car but then after the purchase you realized that you could only get the engine from that location for an additional fee, wouldn't you stop/cancel future purchases at that dealership?
The problem is that we gamers only have two options: Stop supporting this kind of behavior by withholding our money or buy it anyway. There really isn't any alternative to try and stop the practice of 'immoral' DLC.
Companies know that there are plenty of people that WILL pay for the content regardless (due to the fact that a large percentage of current consumers are from the age of 12-17, who also could care less).
Vcize @ Mar 11th 2009 1:17AM
Wow, that may be the worst analogy ever. They're not holding back a key that prevents the game from spinning in your disc tray or anything like withholding the engine from a car would be.
A more apt analogy would be if a car dealership told you the price of the car and then at the last minute told you you had the option to buy a bunch of "extra" stuff like floor mats, aluminum kick plates, extended warranties, cargo nets, etc. Which of course, is exactly what they do.
Not that I'm in any way trying to condone the action here, but I'm near positive this DLC for RE5 will be free. Pay DLC is typically costumes, weapons, extra missions, etc. Entire multiplayer modes are typically released as free patches.
Ihavepants @ Mar 11th 2009 1:21AM
I thought they were just announcing it, to be sold when they'd actually finished... not that you would be able to buy the content on release.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 1:30AM
If the above Trophies are already found under the Trophy tab in the XMB then that implies the content has already been completed (maybe waiting for NA release date or finalization).
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Mar 11th 2009 2:57AM
Depends on the developer.
Fallout DLC is actually neat or when is just for the kicks like in Dead Space.I would like to mention Fable II but the story mode was too short by the end and being extremly skeptical I'll blame the DLC for that.
Stuff like Crackdown DLC that is stuff already inside the game certainly is not neat.Or stuff like map packs with only 3 friggin maps,I'm looking at you Bungie / Epic (More Bungie than Epic,at least some maps were free in Gears of War).
deathxrebirth @ Mar 11th 2009 12:24AM
If SF4 is anything to go by, this won't be free.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:27AM
If this stuff ends up having a price tag on it, I implore you guys to try your hardest not to invest in it.
Cyph @ Mar 11th 2009 12:30AM
Hold on a second. They've already developed (or some of) the DLC for RE5 and it isn't coming with the game that we are purchasing? They better hope it's free, because if I recall correctly, many developers said DLC wouldn't be taking substance away from games on release, i.e. stripped from the retail copy, only to be charged separately thereafter.
jarhead906 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:39AM
I'm with you but here's your mistake:
"Many developers" isn't every single developer. Also, they haven't contractually agreed to anything so they can say whatever they want and change their mind down the road if they so desire.
I tell you now if this DLC has a price, I'm not supporting it, especially when this crap is going to make my Trophy profile look like I haven't achieved 100% for the game.
Popfrogs @ Mar 11th 2009 1:31AM
DLC can be the worst or best thing that's happened to gaming. It's all up to the developers and it looks like Criterion has done it right as well as a handful of other studios. However, whore developers like Rockstar and Bethesda (level 20 cap removed with future DLC expansions and exclusive DLC, wtf) are giving DLC a bad name.
kentuckyfried @ Mar 11th 2009 1:58AM
Yeah...Bethesda. I really like Fallout 3 but the DLC, including the one that effectively changes the fundamental ending for the game, it's inexcusable.
Somebody should be stringing up Todd Howard or whoever's responsible for making the game that way to be hung by their balls. That's not a game. That's opportunism.
tboy123 @ Mar 11th 2009 12:35AM
If this has a price tag, I would not even buy the game (if I was planning on it). I mean US $65 (+-tax) is a large amount to throw down for a game that they are going to end up charging $5-10 to make it complete... especially only a week after the game launches.
Not to mention playing the demo was like a chore to me more than fun...
I really cannot see what is so great about this game.
Nomi @ Mar 11th 2009 12:42AM
I dont get it...are companies holding back content now? The game isn't even out yet...
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Mar 11th 2009 2:59AM
See Crackdown and Fable II.
At least this should be free for the guys with Collectors edition.
Seroth @ Mar 11th 2009 1:10AM
I don't know about this content specifically, but the idea that all DLC is stuff held back from the game is silly.
Games have to be done and put on shelves sometime. A developer probably doesn't finish a game, not touch it for months, then come back and say, "Okay, time to make some DLC." They have to be working on some of the DLC during development of the actual game. And they have to put a limit to what they'll put on the disc so they can actually make whatever deadlines they have. If you had them hold the game until all extra content was done, the game would never come out.
