Red Octane has continually said how excited they are for something like the Xbox Live marketplace, which allows them to breath new life into current releases while working on follow-ups. Guitar Hero 2 on Xbox 360 in April will prove the test bed, and they're charging into it full steam, if an interview with associate producer Ted Lange on IGN is to be believed.
"We're still in the process of confirming the final details and continue to secure more licenses, though nothing has been announced at this time, we can definitely say nobody will be disappointed. We are planning on having more online content than anyone has ever seen in a game to this date."
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
So along with the $90 bundle, expect to pay quite a bit more for this content
...Red Octane are a charitable organization, not a business. Didn't you know that?
Sheesh, I'm really getting sick of people complaining about companies trying to sell their products. You do know that they are in business to make money, right? Besides, if they didn't make this stuff available you'd all be complaining that they didn't offer anything.
As if the monster track list wasn't awesome enough... I love it. And to address the notion of "adding to the expense" - Whatever. I'll gladly pay $1 per song (or whatever) to add some slick new jams to my collection.
Red Octane not only has to pay the people who develop the game (and the extra content), but also for licenses to use the songs. If you don't want to pay for them, DON'T BUY THEM. The game comes with a HUGE track-list to begin with anyway.
DAMMIT!! Why did I buy the PS2 version!? Ahhhh
My guess is that it'll probably be 240 points, 3 dollars a song (which I wouldn't mind paying). The programming, licensing, and artist fees aren't cheap
