Marvel's Spider-Man first DLC available on October 23
- Thread starter piccio_ssl
- Start date
Yeah, announcing DLC before release is just silly. Worse, when the DLC hits, it will be old news. Why not wait until much closer to the DLC release date?
Edit: I see the answer is the season pass. Fair enough I guess.
Yes, but it's been finished for a while. (Went gold July 30), so by the time the DLC drops, they will have been finished with main content for almost 3 months+.
That don't really matter .
A lot of the time DLC budget separate from the main game even if it done .
Hmm kinda obviously cut content. Rather than a Blood and Wine/Left Behind type DLC. But oh well. Hopefully I'll be excited to play more and be happy that it comes so soon after release.
Oh, gross. So you spend the entire game wandering around New York picking up Cat droppings but you don't get to confront her unless you fork over more cash?
At least punching the Riddler in the face was on disc in Batman. How is there supposed to be any sort of satisfying resolution to what seems to be a generic fetch quest when you won't get anything more than an angry phone call?
"Curse you, Spider-Man! You've found all my Cat Packs and disrupted my operation! I'll get you... this October! For $9.99! Hit options to go to the stooooooore!"

How is this any different from Forza and other games with season passes where dlc starts dropping within months of release? Games have to be feature locked by a certain point, so there could be a decent amount of time bertween that happening and the game hitting store shelves. So just because DLC arrives soon after, doesn't mean you're being screwed over.
I wish they did this with god of war.
Even horizon was way too long after launch.
Playstation is finally becoming a good drug dealer. I want my re-up immediately.

Because we knew about DLC when they announced the release date months ago. This really isn't new info.
And despite a few hyperbolic posts here. It's not cratering any hype at all. You don't have to buy the DLC. I'm sure most people will find great joy in the main game.
Spider-Man went gold on July 30th. That means that there's nearly a three month gap between the point where the game went gold and when this DLC is coming out. So there's no way they cut this from the base game.
You think they code until the day the game releases and magically produce blu-rays out of nowhere? Version 1.0 of any software has a set specification and content that ships with it, and that's what you're paying for. They don't drop all work once they finish version 1.0 though, they need to keep their jobs, so they work on the next set of features (DLC) which usually happens even before version 1.0 hits the shelves. It's not rocket science and they aren't screwing anyone over.
Coulda at least waited until launch. Don't tell me before I even have the game I've got to spend more money.
Yeah these dlc's are done months ago. They've been talking about them since beginning of the year.
I'm not so hyped for the game, so a little waiting until feb-mar 2019 for Complete Edition with every dlc and pre-order costume won't be hard.
Yeah I've come to accept that DLC are announced before a game even launches... but DLC launching a month and a half after release?
Not really on board with that..

Was it not painfully obvious to you? I was being sarcastic.
It's not.
We had a separate team concepting on these in parallel with the main team but full scale work didn't really start until a few months ago.
And that team concepted it based on what they wanted to see in the game
Consider all 3 bought from me. Love when DLC chapters hit soon after launch I rarely go back to it if there is a long gap between DLC.
no but I want to play some more god of war. also dlc doesn't really bother me that much though I see why it would for some.
Lol this place is a damn joke man.
I was adding on to what u said
DLC content coming out later or early does not tell you if it's cut content or not .
Plus it would be 3 months since the game gone gold .
Looking forward to see how substantial it is. These comments about cut content are embarrassing though.
I agree - it's hilarious how different people react when a game is published first party vs. an EA
There will be a sequel. The studio should put all their work and time into that IMO.
What's the issue that people have with? I'm pretty sure we knew there was gonna be DLC/season pass with this game so I don't really understand what the problem is?
No, it isnt cut content. They just designed the game with a Black cat sidequest with a shitty ending.
How great.
I'm about to purchase the game. I'm deciding between deluxe and standard. Knowing what is coming sways my decision.
You don't have to spend more money. You apparently didn't know about this content before now and were fine spending money based on what you've already seen. This allows you to make an informed decison.
How is this bad?
I'm all for DLC, but the pricing is gonna be downright ridiculous, as far as I can tell. How long will these be, collectively?
It's $24.99 in America for a season pass, so I bet the UK version is gonna be something ridiculous like £20...
If it's like 10 hours or so of content then that's okay. but it all coming out that close together sends off alarm bells to me.

If they are good I couldn't careless how close they are to release. I'm fine waiting until December to buy any too.
That feels a little too soon if this is elobrate enough to have new enemies and story content. Alternatively if these really are being made purely post going gold, Im not sure how much content they can produce in a month or 2 for each.
What bizzare logic gamers have to pay for the Deluxe Edition, including the long announced DLC, then complain when they are given release dates for said DLC.
Would they prefare the BS Battlefield pulls where you're still waiting 18 months after release to get your fill of the promised DLC. Or perhaps other single-player games where the expansions arrive so late everyone has moved on.
I guess some will say, "ah, this was pulled from the full game". Despite the final DLC releasing 4 months after the game shipped.

Sure, I just think it's kind of taking a bit of the thunder away from the game, right before it releases ("look at this cool stuff that won't be in the game you're buying in a couple weeks!"). I understand they want to let people know what they're paying for with the season pass, though.
The game is already gold though. Unless they wanted to give them for free, there's nothing they can do
