Anyway just to try and get some feedback for DLC with Far Cry 3 I wondered what your thoughts are on this subject.
There are already different Bonus Packs available for FC3 that have different content.
Some have different weapons for single or multiplayer parts of the game.
There is the Warrior pack with the tattoo editor that will surely be unlocked at some point anyway, and a mention of 4 new animals in single player with the Predator bonus pack.
Lost Expeditions has 2 new single player missions that take approx 40 mins to complete.
Would any of you guys pay to get any of that stuff separately to suit your needs if the price was right.
And what about this.
Say that the FC3 Editor is upgradable and they can give us new Items, (or maybe they are already on the disc but have to be unlocked with a purchase) I stopped right here when I saw this, I can kind of see how it would work but i don't think DLC should be something that makes the core game feel "limited", but rather act as an "addition" to the game which doesn't make the game you buy at retail any less complete. I believe that the editor should not have "paid for" additions simply because it would seperate people from the people who have these extra items to those who don't. This could also cause additional seperation when people decide to play the maps.
Should Massive make 4 new multiplayer maps which all have different themes using different sets from the editor - These 4 new maps are playable in ranked multiplayer which would keep the clans happy, purchasing the DLC Pack would give you 4 new maps by the developers and 4 new whole sets of buildings / items / paint and stuff for the editor. Again I think the best way to go about releasing DLC for the game would be picking the best: played, rated and favourited maps that are out there in the community to bring into ranked play as people would clearly love these maps and would enjoy playing them in ranked matches. This pleases the community and means less work for the developer! I think "whether or not people should pay simply to put user created maps into ranked pay" is a lucrative talking point because the developer has essentially done no work, so perhaps there should be 2 user-created maps (or more) and 2 developer created maps? The only problem with this is the developer maps in the community's opinion may not be considered as good as another "user-created" map which would cause complaint.
Plus a new weapon or new ways to humiliate your opponent at the end of the match and a new game mode, would you pay for that if the price was good? This is a genuine point which I feel that users would pay for, as long as it is not overpowered and as long as it is included among other things, such as new maps. This idea could maybe only be used in the SINGLEPLAYER seeing as if the weapons are better than many of the other standard weapons then people may feel disheartened.
Game Modes
People keep talking about Predator mode, would you pay for it if it came with a pack and had other stuff with it.
Vehicles - I hope they change their mind and find a way in giving us them even if it is without guns just as transportation purposes but say vehicles came later as DLC with other things thrown into the pack would you pay? Here it is again, I believe the community would be very upset by the fact that they are being asked (if this was to come true) to pay for something (vehicles) that they considered already needed to be in the game at launch.
I am just interested to know what peoples opinions are.
DLC on LittleBigPlanet was really big business, I am sure it could be with Far Cry 3 if they marketed it correctly.
Have your say.
