Now, the clarification: some data of this update is on the disc, but said data is incomplete and requires the actual download to access. But again, free. Mercenaries costumes are residentevil.net unlocks. Simply register for the site and start earning RE points for those goodies.

Well at least they told the truth about their new practices with DLC. :) No release dates though.
I can honestly say if they keep this up and bring Megaman back (not a smartphone) I'll be 100% square with them.

That's certainly nice of them, but considering the game's reception, it might not be enough to win the fans over.

I don't see why anyone would have any problem with on disk FREE DLC.
It's only when it's paid that it's a bad thing. There could be multiple reasons they have the data on the disk already and unlock it at a later date, including a strategic release or it simply wasn't 100% finished/tested at time of launch.
As long as it's free, there's nothing to bitch about.

People with offline consoles become second class consumers.

In this day and age I honestly have absolutely no sympathy for this.
If, for some reason, a person doesn't have internet, they could always just go to a buddies house.
If the person has neither internet nor friends, well...sucks to be them.

the only reason they released this dlc for "free" is because someone hacked it and uploaded it to youtube, also capcom lied about on disc dlc they said they will stop it but it's obvious that they haven't stopped it.

I doubt they would charge for increased difficulty mode anyway. I would gladly pay for a new 'Jill' campaign or a new multiplayer mode.

Capcom is one of the worst companies with on disc DLC except for maybe, Namco Bandai(Tekken, Soul Calibur and others), Tecmo-Koei(Warriors you know what most Japanese companies that localize a game have on disc dlc, Activision(CoD, Transformers and others), EA and many more.

Your just going to have to a boycott the DLC since if you boycott the game they will think the game just doesn't sell well or send a lot of letters and signatures to said company about said practice.

Reminder: Pokémon has had stuff like that since Gold/Silver, and people weren't complaining.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
