How exciting. Nothing quite as satisfying as buying treasure.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Ahh.. You'll buy it at a high price.

 

[kanjobazooie]

The treasure I assume is for selling to the merchant to get items and make the game easier. So this is basically like the deluxe coins from RE7, but with some extra steps.

 

[lh032]

i mean if its brand new and they want to charge it behind DLC, oh well, i cant say much here.

Yes.

This is not any narrative content. It's like how Capcom straight up sells orbs for DMC.

 

[Puscifer]

Why would you ruin all the great coverage so far this close to launch with something so sleazy?

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I mean I'll play it eventually...but shit like this makes me not want to play it at launch

 

[.Pennywise]

Sounds like microtransactions with extra steps

 

[Mr Hyde]

Was expecting something much worse to be honest, like locking the fucking soundtrack behind a paywall, like they did in RE2. Although there is 2 months left to release for RE4, I'm sure Capcom will find a way to screw us over just to be able to earn a few extra nickels.

 

[SmokedMeat]

This has no affect on me. If people are that foolish, then they can have at it.

 

[mcjmetroid]

Well... I don't like it at all.

But if that's it then it's not the worst. Any more though and I won't be buying.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I am gonna buy all the extra shit for this game
(Also preordered the deluxe edition)

 

[SCB3]

Does this just show the collectables on the Map? If so, whatever, I'm not gonna buy it anyway

 

[Mister Wolf]

Not sweating it. Didn't pay full price for this shit anyway. I give them the same energy they give me.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yay this comes with the DE. I was willing to pay for whatever bonus stuff they released as a package. I’d be more understanding if I had to buy this on top of the DE. That would be overkill. I wonder if they’ll sell the Unlock All DLC like they did with RE2/3:Remakes.

 

[TGO]

As long as the original addition content is not DLC I don't care

 

[Astral Dog]

Is anyone surprised? RE7, RE2, DMC etc all have insane amount of microtransactions its no wonder RE4 REmake is the same way, in a couple years/months the base game is gonna be priced way cheaper, Capcom has this option for suckers like us to recoup their money

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Nothing like pay to win options in non competitive single player games!

 

[Hurahn7]

I don't have to buy it, so I'll allow it. Sucks if you're a completionist.

 

[Knightime_X]

I wonder how much.
Probably something like $5.99

 

[Bartski]

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why not extra death animations DLC while we're at it

 

[Syphon Filter]

lol at the sheep defending this anti consumer move, gamers are so docile which is why these companies can get away with these practices. The game looks awful too, rather play the original.

Awful just awful

And hey, there's a silver lining here. More sheep equals more lamb equals more lamb döner.

Mmmmmmm döner

 

[Facism]

Laughs in cheat engine

 

[22:22:22]

Laughs in cheat engine

Doesn't show emotion through lack of care.

Omg DLC for one of the best games ever made what a surprise.

If defending or buying
dlc is your definition of sheeple..

 

[22:22:22]

Laughs in cheat engine

 

[EDMIX]

Callisto Protocol puts animations behind some dlc paywall, cross gen to get as much money.
RE4 Remake puts treasure collectables behind dlc paywall, cross gen to get as much money..

Dead Space Remake, zero DLC, zero MTX, next gen only.

I think its time to put this myth to rest regarding this publisher and start calling out when this shit is being done.

The irony regarding all of this is just hilarious.

(didn't Capcom have some weird orb MTX type thing with DMC5 or something? lol)

Astral Dog lol noooooo that doesn't fit the narrative, but BIG BAD EA doe!

I've seen more examples of Capcom doing this literally with almost every single game they put out and it seems most of the gaming community only like to point this out when its a publisher they dislike.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Content locked behind DLC

 

[JC 1080P CRT]

This, along with some of the changes to the dialog/character outfits, solidifies my position of "wait and see" instead of "Day One purchase." Won't write the game off entirely though.

 

[adamsapple]

Content locked behind DLC

It's not actual content, just extra in game currency.

Some of y'all are having a needlessly strong reaction to this. This is not any relevant in game content.

 

[Vick]

Dead Space Remake, zero DLC, zero MTX, next gen only.

Thing is, I actually want DLC for Dead Space Remake..

I'd buy an Extraction expansion ala DS2: Severed in a fucking heartbeat.
Even more Suits actually, whatever to keep me playing this game.

 

[dDoc]

No thanks Capcom.

Hope you deliver a good game instead of the truncated Re3make.

Fine with me if idiots buying currency for single player games funds them making more RE.

 

[Vick]

Exactly. Only buy currency for games with expiration dates instead.

 

[rkofan87]

its just like the re2r and re3r dlc cheats just with some fun in game hunting on top.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

True, but I wasn’t really going for a strong reaction. Basically this doesn’t surprise me at all because it’s becoming more common to my knowledge in games. I mean it’s a business and even if some people think it’s silly or unnecessary, they will find some consumers willing to pay money for in game currency and other things.

 

[Signal Rockets]

I actually treasure their decision.

 

[01011001]

every time I see DLCs like these I have to wonder... who is retarded enough to buy these?
like... wtf? they must get bought otherwise they wouldn't bother implementing these... but who in the world actually does this?

 

[SSfox]

As a huge RE fan definitely not buying this at full price then and first time not buying a RE game day one, guess will just wait for sales, like 30$ or simply a full complete gold edition.

 

[Saber]

As long it doesn't interfere with the base game, as well as the content, I don't see much of a problem.
Not that I agree with this attitude either. Worst case they could scalate to something worse, hope they don't get too high of themselves with this game.

And then a couple of yearly later….WHY IS CAPCOM NOT MAKING ANY SINGLEPLAYER RESIDENT EVIL,ANY MORE????

Whatever, I’ll buy this with DLC day one. Whatever helps Capcom fund new Singleplayer Resident Evil games. The sheep are not likely to stop buying trash DLC for trash service games anytime soon, so I gotta do what I gotta do.

 

[Fart Knight]

Ill buy the treasure map for 3 dolaars

 

[kyussman]

Remember when you could just buy a game and get the game......I guess some of you youngsters probably don't,lol.

And people like you that defend this BS are the reasons some devs treats their fanbases as Flock of sheeps

Chicken donor >>> lamb donor.

 

[JimmyRustler]

A small sacrifice for the greater good. At this rate and with this attitude classic SP games (aside from the indie space) will be a dime in dozen within the flood of service games in the coming years - and the only way to perhaps stafe this off is the actually buy SP games day one. If I have to throw them a few bucks with DLC like this here and there to help along the way.... so be it.

Make no mistake, in genereal I do not like this practice in any way and if the future outlook for "bigger" SP games would not be so grimm I would not support it as well. But as how it stands now... If you don't want non bloated, open world SP to disappear, you have to support the few good ones that are being released in any way possible. I like gaming but neither have nor want to invest the time in bloated trash and/or service games, so I don't want games like RE4 to become a thing of the past.
