Capcom comments again about on-disc dlc

[shadowDOESrock]

Capcom is revising its DLC strategy to include less content on-disc at launch, senior vice president Christian Svensson writes in a post in the Capcom forums. "We would like to assure you that we have been listening to your comments and as such have begun the process of re-evaluating how such additional game content is delivered in the future," Svensson says.

This introspection follows vicious complaints about Street Fighter X Tekken's on-disc DLC, to which Capcom responded that it sees no distinction between on- and off-disc DLC. Unfortunately, a few titles currently in production will ship with on-disc DLC, including Dragon's Dogma, Svensson writes.

Capcom decided to add DLC on Dragon's Dogma discs "during the game's development cycle this was determined to be the most efficient way of ensuring certain content was made available," according to Svensson. "You are being heard." Svensson concludes.

On-Disc DLC will (almost) completely disappear after the next few upcoming Capcom games.

Y'know, I was actually gonna buy that game day one, but now you can forget it.

The problem isn't on-disc DLC, the problem is day-one DLC and you can bet Capcom will have more of that.

No, I have a problem with both those things.

Day-One DLC (or Preorder Bonuses) will exist forever, unless they have a new project for the dev. team right away.
No company is gonna let their people get payed for a month or two for doing nothing.

If it's about pre-order bonuses, can they at least make that stuff unlockable in game?

Also, if that's the case, then what went down back in the day when DLC didn't exist?

Most of the time the team was moved to their next project.

They want you to pre-order, why would they make it unlockable?
And if its free day-one dlc (when you preorder) then preorder or just ignore that content, duh.

They moved on. There was no way for them to 'patch' anything anyway and the only way to feature pre-order bonuses was to have physical objects. Game was finished and everyone moved on.


Just like that penny-arcade video says that jkid posted.

You mean that if these f*ckers stopped dicking around with FFXIII-2 DLC Then more time would be invested in make a game that doesn't suck eggs?

But what if said pre-order bonus is vital piece of equipment that gives an unfair advantage in multiplayer or something? Also, what about countries like mine that don't have pre-order services(to my knowledge)?
I would rather they made the pre-order bonuses physical things that collector nuts will go crazy for... like that Sonic hat for pre-ordering Sonic Colours.

I'd rather they get a head start on working on a new more innovative project than unnecessaringly pissing off fans

As for your first question: Well, i dont know - nor can i report that i've never experienced that a 'unfair' pre-order bonus.
Might tell me some examples?

Wait, you cant pre-order your games? Does your nation have GameStops / EBGames? They probably have it.

And now lets look where they are.

6 to 8 weeks more. Sure.

6 to 8 weeks more. Sure.

That time could be invested into Final Fantasy Versus 13.



^ Me when i said that.

[TheGameNinja]

I only have a problem with day-one DLC if the content was left out of the game on purpose to sell separately at release. If it is only extra content that is completed before release, whatever. I'd rather get the DLC on day-one rather than a year later.

But I hate on-disc DLC. I don't want to have to pay extra for something I already have.

Who's the guy singing about a festival?

Also, I love FF13 and all, but they could devote that time to Kingdom Hearts...or Secret of Mana...or Chrono Trigger...

What is it going to take for people to get over this? The reason they do that is so the content doesn't take up hard drive space. They're doing you a service and you're complaining about it. :U
