Uncharted 3 'Fortune Hunters' Club' is a DLC season pass

by JC Fletcher on Oct 18th 2011 1:50PM

Uncharted 3's "Fortune Hunters' Club" is really more of a "Bargain Hunters' Club," offering savings on future DLC for the latest Drake-shaker. It's the latest in the growing number of "season pass" DLC deals, offering a discount for the bundled pre-order of "the first four multiplayer map packs and the first three multiplayer skin packs."

All told, the $24.99 purchase gets you around $45 worth of content, Sony says, plus an exclusive theme and an XMB message service to keep you up with new DLC. If the kind of fortune you seek is "more Uncharted 3 stuff," then you can hunt for the pre-order link today on the PlayStation Store.

Oh no...

@kentuckyfried

For someone who is gonna buy this stuff anyway, Its good.

$25?!

I'd rather see single-player DLC like new levels. I'm not buying this for the multiplayer. Halo CE Anniversary is probably the only multiplayer I will play at all this fall. I'm much more of a single player gamer.

@ItsameMatt03 They've already said they will not be doing single player DLC.

@ItsameMatt03

Agreed. I don't play UC Multiplayer and have no interest in this. I would gladly give them $25 or $45 for single-player DLC.

I'd rather they develop another full single-player game than work on single-player dlc. At least the multiplayer DLC is handled more by the multiplayer team than anything else, so the main story team can work on Uncharted 4 while Uncharted 3's legs (read: multiplayer) can be maintained by the multiplayer team for a while. This way, the story team can put their all into the next game without having to split duty trying to add story DLC to UC3.

I mean, these games are only on two year cycles right now.

damn, that's kind of expensive.

How about you get this for buying new? Or $10 off this for buying new, instead of project $10?

Then we'd be talking.

@Electrium

Well that would be too nice of them to do.

We gamers are the cows and they want to milk us.

If you want them to be nicer, become bulls. We will see if they will try to milk us.

@xiLeShadow

I milked a cat once.

@bigwhiteyeti How did you do it? Is it even possible?

@Electrium

At the very least, it should come free with the collector's edition

..... you really only have yourselves to blame for letting them get away with this kind of bullcrap.

I'm tired of hearing about DLC before a game is even released.....

@Jay Z

WAVE OF THE FUTURE!

@Jay Z

I completely agree.
If i'm hearing this before release then I guess THERE'S TIME TO PUT IT IN THE GAME!

I used to think DLC was a means for developers to add extra content for ideas they didn't have time to finish. So maybe we paid a buck or 2 (or $15) here or there, but it was long enough after release where the addition was welcome.

Soon we'll be paying to remove ads....(ok not really but that's what it feels like.)

@Jay Z

In keeping with the caps lock motif of this conversation, it's possible that the developers HAVE THEIR NEXT FEW MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT PLANNED OUT AT THIS POINT.

@SmashZilla I'd actually pay to remove ads, especially during private moments with my computer.

Some of the paid DLC getting released is not worth the pennies stuck between the couch cushions.

@SmashZilla It's not like they have screenshots or something like they already have the DLC finished. They're just saying they've got some planned.

@SmashZilla

No DLC was meant for customer feedback not finish up time.

@SmashZilla This man doesn't seem to realise how game development works...

@Hank Hill

Don't even get me started on propane.

@SmashZilla - "If i'm hearing this before release then I guess THERE'S TIME TO PUT IT IN THE GAME!"

No. Just no. For the love of god, no. NO.

Just because they know they're going to do DLC before release does NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT IT'S DONE AND COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE DISC!

Hell, it's possible that all they know is "we're going to do four map packs & three skins packs" with no thought being given yet to what will be in any of those packs.

Not to mention that the game has already been gold for a week & has probably been done in terms of adding new content for a couple of months already.

Just because a studio knows that they're going to be doing DLC or even knows what that DLC is going to be before the game is releases does NOT means that it's content that is already done, nor does it mean that work has even started on the content.

sold

I could buy Five foot-longs for that price.

GOTY Edition it is!

@CaptainProtonX

But who can REALLY wait that long? No one--that is the absolute, definitive answer. No one human can resist.

@Shadowbender

I am renown for my lack of humanity.

Umm people this is $5 cheaper than the Gears 3/Forza 4 season passes (which are $30) and $25 cheaper than CoD Elite so it's not that bad if you're going to play U3 MP.

@MSUHitman

I don't understand. Are you implying that everyone who thinks $25 is too much for multiplayer map packs, also thinks that $30 is a great price for Forza 4 car packs?

Isn't it possible that we think both packs are overpriced, especially for sight-unseen content?

Kind of shocks me people complain about this stuff. If you like the multiplayer and know you are going to play it over the next year why not save $20 and get this ahead of time? Explain to me the reasoning why this is bad outside the fact you either think 1.)it should be free and you shouldn't have to pay , 2.)You don't like the fact there is already announced DLC for the next year (which is ridiculous), or 3.) You don't like saving money.

I liked the U3 MP beta, so I might get this... I still wish they'd hint at what kind of stuff the dlc will be so I'll know if I'm not spending $25 worth of reskinned guns

@Fugaku it will probably be everything over the next year

@Fugaku - It's four map packs & three packs of multiplayer skins.

That information is right in the article.

@Mcmax3000 touche

To a lot of people it probably doesn't make much sense because you may or may not invest as much time into the MP as other people do.

There definitely is a dedicated MP crowd for Uncharted and for them, $25 for $45 of MP content is a good deal. Unfortunately this doesn't include any SP DLC.

@BoBsS Because there will not be any single player DLC.

.....I just want Uncharted 3. Is that so much to ask?

@Shadowbender Wait, you're asking for...something?

*Naughty Dog holds emergency meeting to discuss how to charge Shadowbender for intangible DLC content*

@thisredengine Exactly, exactly. And what they fail to realize is that I am a man with NEEDS. Uncharted 3 is the key to not just my survival...but all of our's.

@Shadowbender So you are the only person on the planet who can't buy the game as is and enjoy it? Man, sucks to be you, bro! The rest of us will buy the version where DLC is optional and isn't required to play the game...seriously guys.

This may be an oversimplification, but...It's like PlayStation Plus for one game?

@CoconutSkittle its called a season pas...this means that instead of paying for each piece of DLC over the course of a year you can pre-pay and save $20. How is this concept so hard for people to understand. Obviously you guys are smart enough to connect to the internet and stumble on a webpage.

@sammo21

"mathematically challenged"

I agree with Samon, why is everyone up in arms about this? Obviously they have plans for DLC, its part of a business strategy and hell as a Uncharted fan I'm happy it will be supported. The pack is an awesome deal if you really liked the multiplayer and you save money. If you are so against the idea, why don't you just wait till they announce the map packs and buy it individually? The old system isn't gone with individual prices for DLC and yet here there is complaining when you can get it in an OPTIONAL package discount :P

You buy the game and then you have to keep on paying for it to get the publisher to add back in the content they purposefully witheld.

Recession?! What recession!? Bend over and take it like a *****.

I'll wait till they give them all out for free over PSN+ like they did with UC2 DLC.

@SpiderPrime

Have fun waiting for 2 years.

@Youthinized

I did it before I can do it again.
