EA Says You'll Experience Burnout Paradise DLC - Even if You Don't Buy it

12
Publisher Electronic Arts confirmed to MTV Multiplayer today that Burnout Paradise's additional content allows gamers who choose to opt out of engaging with new content to still see the new content in-game while playing online. Additionally, EA says the content will be a combination of pay-to-play and free.

"It's our intention to extend the life of Burnout with additional DLC in the near future. As mentioned, we don't want to split the online community between those that have content and those that don't. Our intention is to offer both free and paid for DLC in a way that enables everyone to 'see' the content, even if they have not paid for it," said an EA representative in an e-mailed statement.

This should be interesting. Might actually help them get more people to buy the content if they can see what it is first.

Although this kind of "see before you pay" content just sounds like new cars and liverys. Let's hope there is something more exciting in store for us.

"Extensions on the maps"

LMAO imagine driving with some friends down a road when 2 of you hit an invisible wall and the others keep going so you can "see" the extra content O_o.

3 - Save your nickles and dimes.
I passed on this game partially because they were already talking of new ways to take my money before the game itself was even released...

5 - Here we go again...
...the game is barely out and already the gamers are kinda expected to dish out even more money to enjoy the full experience. :(

Burnout Paradise has just made my 'dont bother' list. I'm not interested in games that come out with 'extra' content, just a few weeks after the game was released. They INTENTIONALLY left content out so they can sell it a few weeks/months later.

I dont want any part in that.
This whole DLC scam that's going on, is really starting to ruin 'gaming' for me...

5.1 - im really getting sick of it too.
60 bucks is a LOT for a game anyways, then they're asking for 10-20 more for more cars? It's a blu-ray, they could've put 1,000 cars on there and still had plenty of space. This is BS. Pro Street was selling cars that were already in the game, thats low. I mean $hit EA, they have enough in game ads to more than pay for the game, wheres my FREE ad-ons for subjecting me to a constant barrage of ads while playing a video game? Ugh, I'm pissed.

7 - . . . I think DLC is evil
Now that all the DLC is out... it seems like the games aren't fully finished at all. Mods and stuff are great(UTIII for example) And things like the whole lot/sim exchanging online for the sims. Basically user-created content is great. The only DLC I would pay for are massive add-ons like expansion packs, and add-on maps that come after almost year(resistance, for example). DLC is just another way for devs to take your money. Already making us pay 60 bucks for one game(and 50 in the past) is enough. Dont most movies have a bigger budget than games, and are in higher demand than games... BluRay movies are around 35 bucks or so, why cant the games?! I wouldn't mind it if games were atleast 50 dollars. I got a 50 dollar gift card for bestbuy for xmas, couldnt buy a game... 10 bucks short. Ended up buying Dream Theater's Score DVD and Rush R30 DVD. Why are all these games 60 bucks these days? Its just 360 and PS3 games, but Wii games are 50. What's the Deal? Wow am I getting off topic in my massive rant x.x

7.1 - You think 60 dollars is bad!?
... try living here in Holland, where new games are 60-75 EURO!!!
That's about 90-100 US dollars (!!!)

... and ofcourse these big companies will be complaining again as soon as gamers are fed up with the ridiculous prices and will just mod their consoles...

Prices for games just REALLY need to be brought down to an acceptable level. 40 euro for a new game is OK. Above that, it really needs to be a special game in order for it to deserve such a high pricetag.
