    Haha, you'd see Curt Schilling giggling in the corner.

    I've never seen someone so excited to announce a game. I'm really not even interested in his game so far, but I wanna get it just because he seems SO into it.

    @thewolf619 They explained that a few minutes ago. It's under embargo until its world premiere on Thursday.

    That was awkward with that Bas Rutten guy.

    Also, boxing games are painfully boring to me.

    it bothers me that two games i hold in high reguard are associated with ea. burnout paradise is my favorite driving game, mirror's edge is a great platformer. coincedently, these two games have below avg dlc for ea.

    the fact that this company releases dlc on release of a new game regularly is proof enough that it needs to be put down. DLC profits is not a business plan when designing a new game, they need to be ended for making it a standard.

    By below average you mean the quality of the DLC, or the lack of? Because Burnout definately isn't lacking in DLC.


    As far as the list goes, the only games of interest to me is RB3 & Fight Night Championships. RB3 we already know the drill for, so I'm more curious for how they'll take Fight Night further given they pretty much used the entire controller for #4. Hopefully they won't take the gimmicky motion-controller route and ruin the series. ;/

    Almost every new game released from EA has day one DLC to reward new adopters of their titles, and its free for those people. This is a tool they have been using to combat the sales of used games. Also it is a VERY smart business model when releasing new games, because well developers and publishers dont make money off of used game sales.

    Burnout has had a fuckton of DLC, which for the most part has been free and Mirrors Edge pretty much flopped, which is why its DLC was lacking. You're not going to support a title that didnt sell well, its not very smart from a money standpoint.

    Despite popular belief it costs money to develop DLC, and doubly no one makes you purchase it, cue the self entitlement speech.

    Over the past few years EA has become significantly less evil, now the only company it's cool to hate is Activision

    The problem I'm seeing is that it'll eventually turn from being 'DLC', to actual content removed from the core game just to deter used sales entirely, rather than giving new-owners extra goodies and being treated like kings. Well, we already have some of that now with online functionality being stripped partially, or completely for used owners.

    I'm honestly awaiting the day a publisher releases a game, where the actual ending portion of the game is 'DLC', requiring people who buy the game used to actual pay up for it if they wish to complete the game. I'm betting that Ubisoft will be the first to test that though.
    (technically Ubisoft already did that with Prince of Persia '08, but everyone had to buy the DLC, not just used owners. The base game's cliffhanger 'ending' was such a slap in the face, and they released an 'epilogue' dlc a couple months later that finished the game)

    Well I can understand that being an issue and there is a good chance that could happen when you have companies like Ubisoft and 2k with their current DLC models, but that has nothing to do with what he's bitching about.
