Forums - Sony - L.A Noire to come with PS3 exclusive content

pizzatracker on 12 April 2011

I dont think it will be the gamestop and walmart exclusive cases because there still on the 360 page of L A Noire. I think that Rockstar may be announcing something soon day 1 free downloadable content for the ps3 version if they buy it new, like what 2k did with mafia 2. But yeah this sucks cause I was gonna buy it for 360

Yeah I have to agree, this is a very bad practice which will only lead to worse down the road.

If the game is available on both consoles, then both should get complete versions of the game.

Even though it is the PS3 which is getting the content, lets not forget who started this whole mess;

MICROSOFT!!


agree 100%

i would bet my life you guys wouldn't be complaining if the 360 was getting the content like it does almost all the time =l

That's usually the case with any exclusive content, the fans of the console that doesn't get it does the most complaining. In truth, I have no issue with the distaste for this type of thing, but then again it doesn't usually affect me because I own all 3 current gen systems.


i'm not really going to complain in the cause being the content is exclusive to my platform of choice but i still think it is a stupid practise.

and retailers exclusive content is even more stupid, i'm not going to buy the same game 4 times to get the BB, GS, Amazon, and Walmart exclusive portions.

Buy it four times and return 3 copies! :p 

 

On topic: The use of exclusive DLC is stupid and something I won't support. Not that this game was looking very interesting to begin with, but this just cements my non purchase 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

SONY has been doing this would an while. Instead of buying timed exclusives for 3rd party MS do, they are getting exclusive content for 3rd party games so they can stamp it on the box so that when an gamer looks at the boxes and sees exclusive content. They pick up an ps3 and not an 360. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

God how I hate this , not only are you making launch DLC but you're limiting them by both console AND by retailer? Fuck that shit.


I agree, But its probably some stupid shit that 99% of people wont use, like collectables.

This type of marketing has turn me off game before. You can say that fans will buy the game day one anyways and for many like me that might be sitting on the edge on wether to buy a particular game, there a few crime worse than retail exclusive day 1 dlc which are actual IN GAME CONTENT. some extra constumes, gold weapon or cosmetic thing I don't really mind. Kudos to that. This however, this is actual in game missions, just like what they did with Assassin's Creed II. There are few things that can turn me off purchasing a game I was considering worse than this.

I hate exclusive retailers content.  It's a terrible fashion.

Can't wait for the game though.

I agree. I don't mind when a console gets exclusive content, but it needs to be available on all copies of that version.  This "you must pre-order/purchase it here to get these features" is BS.  Another terrible fashion is DLC.  I understand when it comes months later and brings new life to the game.  But when it comes a mere 2 weeks or worse, launch day, that is complete BS.  You know it's probably already on the disc and they just wanted to make a few extra bucks off of the game.

meh. I'm sure all the DLC will be available to all platforms eventually at some point in the near future. Ususally just after the "Ultimate Edition "releses lol.

Always thought this was going to happen, I mean lets just think about it:

- Funded by SONY for a long time before they dropped it and Rockstar picked it up

- Every single gameplay trailer has been PS3 only

- Exclusive content probably has something to do with Rockstar's little 'agreement' that they made with SONY in exchange for GTA going to the Xbox
