Yesterday the developers in insomniac announced details about plans for DLCs post launch . The city that never sleeps DLC park well feature 3 individual episodes . They well release in october november and december of this year.
Each episode will feature a brand new story missions and challenges a new faction of enemies and and more spidey costumes to unlock .
The first episode will focus on the felicia hardy better know as black cat .
And while we dont have details about the other 2 episodes we know it well cost 24 pounds ninety nine for all 3 episodes or nine pounds ninety nine individually .
How ever the news about the DLC dropped yesterday the game has seen a bit of backlash from the fans saying that the DLC is just content and should not have been announced before games release.
With one fan saying : "Wait,spiderman PS4 isnt even out yet ? and they are already announcing DLC? just put it in the damn game we are paying 60$ for".
another gay sad :"stressed out to hear that insomniac are already announcing DLC for their upcoming spider man game that has not even been released
the game went gold 4 weeks ago today and their planning DLC 8 weeks after release ? let me tell you it isnt "
When something did announce plans for DLC back in april so it should not come up as a surprise that their is DLC at all it is just the details that upset a few peoples and you kind understand some people get an upset feeling that they are not getting value for money when it lookes like a part of the game is being sliced off and being sold back to them again in future .
And of course with the DLC just coming a month after releasing the slip when the first one comes it looks particularly suspicious .
They could not literally just wait for a month and stick that DLC on the disc just like capcom have been known to do in the past .
The counter argument of this is of course is that the money that you pay for the DLC is the money that funds the development of this DLC itself .
And if they were not charging for that DLC then it woulf never exist because they wont have money to develop it .
I think the problem that a lot of peoples see is that when DLC is being developed at time when actual game peoples feel like it has been ripped out of the game or they could just easily add it to the final game itself and give you more money for more complete value for money package .
And with all these talk about how expensive games are to make and how that 60$ probably is not fair these days for the price of the game .
It should be like 80$ . Maybe the peoples prefer the the DLC and all the content just for 80$ outright and not even offer the kind of this scaled back version or this other base version for 6 $ because thats essentially what it is now.
it is a cheap version of the game again and yet it is 60$ your not getting everything with
Thats just the way things are this is business model they have got here
But how i feel about it is that they are asking you to pre-order DLC without telling you what acutally is in the second or third pack. You dont know what you are getting for your money . You dont know how much value of money you are going to get . You hope that for 25quid you for the whole DLC pack get half the content of the game since the game is 50quid right ?
But that not usually how it works out . The fact that the are selling the DLC pack in the first place without showing you what is in it .
That is shady right ? you should not do that . You should never pre-order something without knowing what you get . You have o decide weither its a business model that you want to support in this industry right now they are other ways of doing it . Peoples have shown their are other ways to doing it .
One thing i will say that if you are in habit of pre-ordring games or dlc before they have announced what is in it . Dont be dissapointed at the end of it if you dont get everything like you have been ripped of or something .
you should always exactly know what you gave your money for .
You should wait for the reivews of the game you should wait till you know everything about the game . The game is not going anywhere you can still buy it at day one if you want you dont have to give them your money beforehand you just dont have to be temped mt their shady marketing tactics like giving you exclusive skins and exclusive content if you pre-order .
