Resident Evil 5 DLC was a part of RE5 from the start

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

In a recent interview with the Japanese publication Dengeki PlayStation, Resident Evil 5 assistant producer Mie Suzuki gave a little more insight into the scenarios planned for the DLC. Apparently, the Desperate Escape and Lost in Nightmares levels were planned from the start of the game's development, but removed to improve the pacing of the narrative.

Capcom sucks

RE 5 pay to unlock modes on disc.
Megaman 9 pay to unlock modes.
Street Fighter 4 pay to unlock characters on disc.
RE5 Gold Edition release with stuff which supposed were to be on disc.
Super Street Fighter 4 release with stuff which were suppose to be on disc.

Capcom you suck.

1.1 - the funny thing is

that the Gold edition for PS3 ia all in one DISC
the 360 version gets the same Resident evil 5 that is out already, but with a download code for the DLC

i believe that RE5 was dumped down like FF13 is dumped down, cause its a MULTI

Damn that is pretty sad. What's that? Another 2 or 3 gigs eaten up on a 360 hard drive. I guess Capcom is in cahoots with MS to force people to eventually buy those ridiculously overpriced hard drives.

Here we go with the sales argument again. A being PS3 exclusive is great quality wise and quantity wise. Look at inFamous, a new IP that has sold over 1 million copies. Imagine how much DMC4 would have sold if Capcom would have used the power of cell processor and the Blu-Ray disc capacity. Look at RE5, what a dissapointment.

I think that this stream of DLC is okay to plan out and make as an extra part of the game, so long as it isn't god-awful. However, that Versus Mode-ish thing they released earlier was something a bit *too* extra, something like a 1-minute behind the scenes look on a Blu-Ray or DVD being peddled after the sale.

Gamers will pay for extra RE5 single-player content if they're substantial additions, regardless of the date of creation. Gamers paid for extra multiplayer BS for RE5 previously because there wasn't anything else new out there at the time. I understand that companies need to make money with DLC, but that doesn't give anyone the excuse of making the DLC not worth the money.

To sum it up, don't just blindly hate this part of the RE5 DLC fiasco yet - continue to hate the versus mode, and don't buy crappy DLC just because of some gaming dry season. Capcom will listen to your money, not your rage.

That's just prime-I think RE5, like SF4 and Tomb Raider(like many multis with a stromng PShistory) sold better on the PS3 anyway, IIRC. DMC4 was a different story but was released when there was a vast install difference between the consoles. Whether they would have made the sales gap by staying exclusive is doubtful, mind, though only making the omne console version would clearly cut costs(possibly up to a third) so it might be close.

Whatever, it's a myth that "gamers" buy the 360 as we're all gamers whether we own one, two, all three and a PC so it's a daft argument-made more so here as Resi still sold best on PS3.

Thing is, and I'm not saying a 360 is better or worse than a PS3 as we'll never know, exclusives are always likely to have the edge while parity is the main issue for multiplat developments as it has been this generation. While that's the case they have two sets of console weaknesses and no strengths-so the exclusive which can concentrate on just the strengths of it's p[latform SHOULD always outperform the multi and jad Capcom made a true exclusive mainline title this gen I imagine that would be borne out here as well as by Gears, Killzone2 and Uncharted.

As for Capcom's new found "inner kotick"-sod 'em. iIt's nopt like their games are ANYWHERE near what they were lastgen or previously, is it? On Wii they've been(ports of RE4 and OKami and the new MH aside) almost insulting while RE5<RE4, DMC4<DMC3 and SF4<SF2 and so on. Now they're just plainly ripping us off should we be shocked? they USED to listen but they wrecked RE5 and conned us over the most useless multiplayer ever to boot(not to ,mention SF4 costumes). Seriously, I know some of us think they're on some kind of form but I cannpt see it and am praying my once fave dev/publisher finds it's form and it's class sometime soon as so far this gen I've been really let down by most titles.

I'm mixed on this stuff. Things always get cut from games, that doesn't mean they were cut so they could monetize them.

Like Shadow of the Colossus had 5-6 other bosses, like a dragon boss and a spider boss, that were cut. Now, obviously they didn't cut them so they could sell them as DLC because they didn't exist back in the PS2 days. They cut them to keep the flow of the game.

How they worded this Resident Evil stuff sounds bad, but I'm sure they are just extraneous side missions.

examples of Good DLC:

-Burnout Paradise: Criteron updates the game with all the content thats DLC, so it can get unlocked later when you buy.

-LBP: does the samething as Burnout Paradise.

Examples of Bad DLC:

-RE5, SFIV: having all the DLC on the disc in the first place, then unlock by Buying...

-Assasin's Creed 2: same as RE5 and SFIV.

Add in Katamari for bad. Or Vesperia. Or SoulCalibur 4. Or any Scamco game.

Though, I wouldn't get LBP a free pass. There is an overload of content on the store and most of it shouldn't be limited time, especially when it's just gonna come back up next year. And paying $6 for basically 3 Metal Gear levels? I'm just glad they are high quality and fairly lengthy or I would have been pissed.

well the thing with the LBP MGS4 level pack is, it not only gives you a few levels of DLC, but, they expect you to use all of the assets to make LBP levels out of it. so its worth the $6, just like the Pirates of the Carribean Level kit.

So wrong in so many ways! Just another way for these game companies to keep makin money. $60 for the game should be it, no DLC for that game unless they wanna give it for free. You should not have to pay extra for any of it. Wait to put it on the next game, geez!!!!

I been preaching that most DLC was already content scratched of the release copy due to disk space (DVD-BR) or more revenue usually both. As long as DVD format is still being used for publishing and supported by gamers and players jumping on DLC releases then really you can't blame the companies. Respect to companies who still put out free maps/content, reminds me of my gaming days on PC.

17 - And people where telling other people to shut about the whole RE5 dlc thing

at the end of the day we find out it was originally part of the game. They took it out to get some money. I don't remember who they are but the people who were siding with capcom...It is people like you that cause things like this.

Instead of asking questions and refusing to buy it, you guys bent over and took it. You people wanted everybody else to take it just like you. I am glad I did not buy RE5. The graphics was weak. The gameplay was lame. The game wasn't even scary. Sorry for bursting out like this but I have been wanting to say this for a Long time

Amen brother, but I was one of those fools who jumped on RE5. After a few playthroughs I started realising my hard earned money was wasted. I even bought the DLC later thinking it was going to make up for the game ( plus 1st time using a PSN card after 2yrs waiting ), boy was I wrong. Well you learn the hardway most times and I ain't buying a DLC again until I get : Good reviews, alot of content for price (fallout 3), DLC sharing
Don't get me wrong some DLC are awsome but its like picking your poison.

20 - Capcom is the cia that charges the most for their games on the PSN, it is even more expensive then SE's games .

Not to mention the some old Capcom's games that are on the PSN !
these games costs a fortune like Darkstarkers and Ghouls&Goblins for the PSP that Capcom charges 19.99 US dolars for these old games !!

By the way, I could with $20dolars buy 3 to 5 GOOD games for PC on the STEAM !

I LOVE video games but they are becoming way too expensive for me to keep supporting these DLCs that are normaly free on the PC and these download games that are kind expensive as well.

RE5 game was weak as hell... it was not even scary or satisfying. the stop and aim shiat was rubbish. the monsters were lame. weskers was really lame. RE4 was way better and i had hopes for RE5. this is what happen when you make a multiplates. dev should always choose the console that can allow them to full fledge their creative minds. when ever RE6 come out and it is multiplates; i will pass on it. this my last time playing this series i love so much... i will start playing more fps/rpg now... capcom fails!!!

You guys talk like you've had to pay money to actually finish the game.

YOu don't have the slighest idea what it is to pull off something like RE5.

It got the same fate as Devil mAy Cry 2 for those who remember.

Godlike art & coding, indecisive and uninspired game designers & lead. Many key core staff members responsible for the "RE" vibe are ust gone..no more at capcom. Just look at the artbooks to see how many iterations there were of RE 5.

Why MGS4 ran at 1024x768p has been explained multiple times and it wasn't because the PS3 couldn't handle it but because of the overscan.

Most PS3 games are 720p or 1080p but most of X360 games are below the 720p like Halo 3.
