This is a new podcast and in episode 1 they tackle the subject of paying for DLC, an issue that has been brought to the forefront by Battlefield: Bad Company.
"Welcome to the first episode of the Next-Gen Podcast. On this show we cover all the latest news for the Xbox 360, the Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. Followed by features, game reviews, tips & tricks, and something for the achievement junkie."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
With the franchise’s mainline entries failing to find their footing in recent years, now is the perfect time for a Battlefield: Bad Company remake.
Of course there is no counter argument. This is what fans of the franchise have wanted for years. This and/or BF Bad Company 2.
When asked why there hasn't been another Bad Company:
“There's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?" DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer.
Troedsson says that he and his team can’t put their fingers on what it is that people loved about that branch of the brand. “It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us,” he says. “It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."

I say no. It should be free. It will make games sell about 20% more if they were all free. Hardcore gamers and mid core gamers buy plenty of games per year, and they should be rewarded! :)
I don't like paying for DLC, however, it's business! If all DLC was free then developers wouldn't even bother to make any DLC because they wouldn't be getting any extra dough.
The Gaming world is only Behind the Adult Entertainment world and is creeping up on the Movie world.. DLC should be free.. They make enough to supply us with extra content.. Maybe they should do it by how many games they sold.. I mean COD4 its #1 everywhere.. You know they made a killing.. Why not throw in those what 4 maps for free? For games that arnt as popular dont make extra content.. I Looked around the PSN.. and strangle hold has DLC for 14 bucks!!!!!!!!!! Did that game even do that good?? Developers should reward gamers for their purchase.. If your game is top 30, throw in some free DLC.. If its not Count your loses and go back to the drawing board.. No sense is wasting money on DLC that no one would buy anyways.. One thing I think its freaking retarded is the songs for Guitar hero and Rock band.. My buddy has and has spent more than 100 bucks on extra songs and song packs.. FOR WHAT.. to play one or 2 times.. Pathetic..
When you make DLC free you make your game that much more attractive to gamers who havent bought it yet.. When you have to pay for Extra content.. New gamers are like "I just spend 60 bucks on this game, now I have to pay 10 bucks for more maps.. So i have to pay for more maps just to play with my friends?" thats retarded.. If COD4 makes you pay for the new maps I wont buy em.. No Point
They should make games free, then you pay for everything else, which in total should equal about 50-60 dollars if you want it all.
