I wouldn't necessarily fault Sony for this. How were they to know that Capcom had the characters already on the disc instead of releasing them down the line like a legit DLC?
I'm so glad that Capcom is getting flack from this from a government standpoint. They'll definitely think twice about doing this again in the future now that they know that gamers aren't fooled.
You guys are being too harsh in regards to DOA5, but I understand your concern. They did in fact release a demo of DOA5. Also, after downloading the demo, they do ask for user feedback on every thing from character design to stage design and gameplay. They are listening. Especially, with these universally bad reviews of NG3 even from big name game sites, they know they have to step up big with this game.
I'll go ahead and do that as well.
The reason I say we shoukd go the public shame and humiliation route with exposing mainly Capcom and some others through news media or even an article on yahoo's website is because that will have a bigger effect than just boycotting. Don't get me wrong, boycotting is a good idea but it hasn't seemed to garner enough support or make a big enough impact in times past; I'm referring to attempts with the COD series.
I wonder what Capcom's stance would be if this information was sent to major news networks such as CNN under the headline "Targeting the Unethical Practices of DLC in Videogames" but feature the capcom issue as the main story in addition to COD. Anyone have any connections? I swear Capcom would offer the content for next to nothing or even free to save face and sales
If it's this bad for NG3, I hate to think what may happen with DOA5.
Who knows? Maybe a hint at DOA x VF? lol
I wonder if that flooded street level is in-game. That would be awesome! I don't really understand the hate of one FPS franchise vs another. Some gamers may have their preferences, but it's not like on franchise is exclusive to a particular console. Play both and enjoy.
Did anyone else read that she reached into her purse where there was a 6 inch kitchen knife even after being confronted by the police when she was obviously caught redhanded? I don't have any sympathy for her. There are means at shelters and churches where she can get help if need be. You reap what you sow.
Nice! Can't wait for this game! I'll definitely be picking up the collector's edition of Ninja Gaiden 3 since it comes with a voucher for the 4 character demo of DOA5.
Will they have this sale tomorrow? If so, I'm going to do what yesmynameissumo did. I felt like doing that with Target but wasn't sure how to present the deal to them to pricematch.
Thanks, bro!
Definitely looking forward to this! I prefer DOA. To me, the Tekken series has grown stale. At least with DOA5, they're trying out new gameplay mechanics and making it more engaging. I don't know, the Tekken fighters have had the same pose when falling down since Tekken on the original Playstation.
Finally! The screens look awesome! I disagree about it having low sales. Why would it? There's not going to be a successor to PS3 and 360 when this game comes out. It's scheduled for a 2012 release. It's the best looking fighting game to date at that.
I think Capcom is just saying this because they know gamers are on to them. They don't want to risk poor sales due to gamers waiting on an enhanced copy. I agree wholeheartedly that they will still release DLC and coin it as something else if not release a knew edition with a play on words in that title.
They have been advertising it early. It was advertised during the opening NFL kickoff game (Saints vs Packers) as well as during the Subway $5 foot long commercials with Drake in the background showing 5 before leaping off a ledge. Advertising is going to pick up more before release I bet.
And it supports 3D!
Yessssss! Finally!
Regardless of whether Harada will keep is word about never charging for DLC content, one thing is for certain that Capcom is taking note that their competition is also weighing in on their dirty business practices. I'm hoping this forces Capcom's hand in making some sort of resolution to gamers concerning the on-disc content.
