Injustice: Gods Among Us, Season Pass Announced

[HGTV DrFlash44]

I really hope it's a teen titans dlc pack with something like beast boy, starfire, Tara, and Red X

 

[RYX]

yeah they have to have 1-2 done by now, you can't create from scratch, play test, and debug four new characters in a cost effective manner in such a short time.

I'm pretty sure you get the characters when they release w/ season pass. Not all releasing all at once, lol

 

[Zoidberg747]

How do you know?

How do you know they have?

Like someone else said, we are about 30 days away. There is no changes, no new characters. The game is being mass produced and going through the motions. The problem is people assume that they are releasing all of the DLC on day 1. They can make the season pass available without the characters being ready(A la how Gearbox has been doing it with borderlands 2).

So I may not have undeniable proof, but I have a sure as hell better argument then "They just want money". And I want to also mention: No one is making pay for the fucking characters. So either buy them or shut up.

None of this is directed at you personally btw, just tired of reading BS about DLC.

Didn't say they have.

All of this is speculation.

You mean that the game is gold already? If it isnt they are SERIOUSLY behind, you know long all the mass production and red tape stuff takes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development#Post-production

See 'Code Freeze" aka no code is added to the game 3 or four months before release. It is probably now in code release aka releasing the game for mass production 3-4 weeks before the game drops.

And yes, they may not follow that schedule, but if they are still adding code and characters then they are screwed(I doubt they are).

I don't even know what your talking about and how it relates to DLC, lol.

 

[Amazon]

He's saying the basic game is finished months before release. and nothing new is added for the last 4 months or so. once the game goes gold, they can start on plans for DLC which wasnt scheduled or achievelable in the first game project cost/window.

 

[Zoidberg747]

...

They stopped adding code about 3-4 months ago.

Anything after that is NOT content on the disk.

I thought the main gripe was selling us content on already on disc, I explained how that likely wasnt the case. If people have a problem with paying 15 bucks for four characters then they can spend their money elsewhere. Not rocket science.

 

[Vilén]

Yeah I know, but I'd just much prefer the original and I don't think the fact that he's dead really matters when it comes to DLC. Would probably be more marketable too.

You're missing the goldmine underneath the shitpile, though.

It would be NRS writing a V for Vendetta fanfic starring a woman wearing a mask of manface.

 

[Mothmonsterman0]

lol, The amount of money I'm throwing a NRS keeps getting larger, and larger, and larger.

 

[EGGXI]

Potentially, I mean lots of people have asked for them I guess...

But I very much doubt, and would go so far as to say never, for Red X. Simply because it would be TT cartoon fan service only, at least the others appeal to two fanbases.

 

[injusticefan14]

Colt are these the only DLC we will be getting? I remember Hector Sanchez or maybe it was Ed Boon saying they were going to go more wild with the DLC than they did with MK9. Anyways i think these will be the characters:

1. Martian Manhunter
2. Lobo
3. Black Canary
4. Zatanna

and if they release another:

5. Power Girl
6. Blue Beetle
7. Black Manta
8. Guest Character

They could have at least waited until the game had been out for a few weeks before announcing DLC. I guess they're trying to catch people that may not have had their favourite character released yet to keep their interest.

They did the same thing with MK9, and nobody really complained. It was received really well, and sold really well. So it'll all be good.

I'll be getting it either way, but I find it a little hypocritical for someone like Hector to take a stab at Capcom practices and then essentially do the same thing.

It's not though. There's a big difference between announcing DLC, around the time the game goes gold(when it's compelete, usually a month before release), and then starting to work on it. Than having it on the disc and selling it a week after the game comes out. Capcom sells stuff that's on the disc, MK's characters weren't on the disc, because they aren't worked on until after the game is done. That's the difference.

Having 14 complete characters locked on the disk and having a promotion to prepay DLC and get it the day it comes out is not the same thing.

 

[BenGmanUk]

Its not the same thing no, but its still an additional payment for content that was finished prior to release and was always planned to be.

The fact that Capcom place it on the disk has no effect on me and they do it this way to save money on server and bandwidth costs. You still have to front up the cash however they do it.

It hasn't been finished...

Paulo said they JUST started working on the first character. Sheesh.

People act like NRS has a poor track record. They announced the MK Season Pass at the exact same time they did for Injustice.

 

[Living Corpse]

As far as DLC goes NRS has been pretty good about it (so far), making the fighters cheap so anyone can buy them, making the skins free, waiting till months later instead of just a few weeks so the everything has been done and people want something new to breath new life into the game.

You can bitch about how "greedy" they are all you want but as a businies NRS knows the best way to make money is to have a happy costumer cause a happy costumer is a returning costumer which means more $. There are companies out there that have been far worse and don't even care about trying to keep the costumers happy. Capcom charging 20 bucks for a stupid skin each, anyone?

DLC was originally made to make a game have a longer life then it normally would and maybe even throw in stuff that they couldn't finish in time. So far NRS has been the first one the right way.

 

[AcCooper20]

Having four shadowy placeholders on a poster in no way indicates that they are "done" with DLC. So I dont get what all the fuss is about. They have said from the beginning that we would be getting dlc. The only thing new we have learned is the number (or the initial number at least)

 

[Bi-on-iC]

I don't want guest characters!!

I wouldn't say they are the first ones to do it right(I can think of other games that do DLC well such as Halo etc.), or the only ones either, but other than that I agree.

 

[AcCooper20]

I hope they plan on releasing some new arenas for dlc. With all the focus that has been put on the environments and transitions I think it would be nice to have some more thrown in at some point to keep the game fresh.

 

[GodsLonelyman]

Hilarious and ironic that people praise how NRS handles DLC. Did you all forget how they shammed us with Mortal Kombat DLC? It was a fiasco. First, they were so sloppy and amateurish that they completely fucked up the season pass and people were getting the characters for free (Myself included) and then, the icing on the cake. Even though you PAID for DLC you can't even use it online if the asshole you're playing against doesn't have the compatibility pack. I'm aware the compatibility issue was resolved for injustice but don't go praising the way they handle DLC, It's hypocritical and delusional, and reeks of fanboyism, especially all these "new" accounts that aren't even a year old. You new people don't know all the BS we have had to endure from NRS with Mortal Kombat. It's acceptable that some people have become jaded.
