RE6: Free DLC

I'm curious about who Ada's co-op partner is once the DLC is ready...

How is this seen as positive in any way?


If It's on the disc, a disc I have paid hard earned money for, I should already have access to that content.

I knew people would complain anyway even if it was free. Oh, humanity...

The only DLC on disc are the costumes and the difficulty setting. The difficulty setting, which is free, because it needed something only accessible on disc. The costumes you can unlock through RE.net so technically, those are unlockables and not DLC. Unlockables are, by default, on disc. So, in conclusion, the only on-disc thing we have is the difficulty setting.

Ada's optional partner will be downloadable data only.

When will the unlock able costumes be on RE.net?

Edit: Nevermind just found them there now.

Oh I'm very sorry. How dare I feel the slightest bit of indignation in the face of Capcom's benevolent mercy.


My point is that I've spent money on Resident Evil 6. Money that I really can't afford to be spending on silly things like videogames, I've got rent, food and utility bills to pay out of my meagre paycheck leaving me very little with which to indulge the passions in my life. It annoys me that there are things on disc, a disc that I've been playing in my free time pretty much non-stop since I've got it, that I have to use external means to access that content. I'm not annoyed that there's content that has to be unlocked, that's a staple of both the RE series and videogaming, I'm annoyed that in order to unlock that content I have to do something other than play the game. It's wrong.

Not sure I get the drug addiction references. Lol. Surely we're not THAT hooked on RE.

Personally, I too think it's a sham to make people pay extra money to just have everything that could have been made for unlocking. It's like trading cards: You gotta buy all the expansion packs and stuff, just to get a few extra cards so you feel like your set is complete, until they bring out the next big thing, which obviously means forking out more money. But that's how it is. Lol.

How is it wrong? Do you have any idea wha you have to do in order to get the extra costumes through RE.net? Play the game. You get RE Points through playing the game. Why on earth are you bitching about paying for rent and other expenses if the service is free, the on disc DLC is free, and the word of the day is free?

Exactly what Mercy said. I don't understand what point there is to complain when the said content is free. You have internet access do you not? That means you can unlock the content.

It's not like I didn't have my taxes and bills to pay. That's why I'm happy that we're getting these things for free.

Can't wait to set up the internet for my PS3

I'm annoyed because if the content is already on the disc I shouldn't have to do anything other than complete the game, achieving certain parameters along the way within the game.

I shouldn't have to be jumping through extra hoops to unlock something I already own, which was what I referring to with the comment about rent/food/utilities, I've gone out of my way to give Capcom my money for the disc and the game, I own the videogame, I purchased it at full RRP. I didn't have to buy it, but when I did buy it I expected to receive access to everything that is on the disc. I shouldn't have to sign up to some external website first if it's on the disc that I can use right now. I should be able to get that content regardless of whether I have an Internet connection.


I don't care that it's free.

It's free, the content wasn't included on the disk because it was intended to be part of the DLC, they are giving you it for FREE.
First people complain about paying for DLC now they give it to us direct and people are complaining because you need to go online for it ?
This 2012 not 1998 where the internet was limited.
We all have bills and such to pay, some more than others (I'm a student and paying out the ass because I stay in the heart of Edinburgh in a town house, I'm currently to this day in £2000 of debt due to this)
I know what I'm getting into, I wanted the game so I wont complain.
They are only making you sign up to A FREE WEBSITE which (coming from a web designer) is actually amazing that they are not charging us for it.
People should really get off there high horse and show a little respect or at least put yourself in there shoes, they don't have to give us all these things for free but yet they do to make us happy but it seems people will still cry over something now a days, little ungrateful if you ask me.
Yes the site is a little buggy as of now but that will be due to amount of traffic it is receiving and it probably is the first time Capcom has done anything like this.

I would also like to point out that why are people bitching about going online to obtain DLC ?
Look up the meaning of DLC and tell me how that isn't contradictive

So it's not on the disc? Fine. I was under the impression that the content was already on the disc.

For the record I'm not "bitching" about having to go online to get some DLC. Of course you have to use the Internet to access DLC. I was under the impression that that content was already on disc.

It still sucks for those who can't get the website to work with no actual help or ways of figuring out why it won't work.

My problem is that they relied on something so faulty with such awesome content such as new costumes and eventually levels. With a game as important as RE6, I don't think a crappy website that doesn't work for literally no reason for certain people (me) and is slow and glitchy for those it does work for is something that should be leaned on so much.

Basically, if they're gonna rely on a website for that stuff: make sure it works for everybody. If you get a code from the game and put in that code, it should work. It shouldn't matter what computer I'm using. Otherwise it pretty much means they put a faulty code in my copy of the game and have absolutely no plans of helping me out so that I can get the extra content like everyone else. It's just so frustrating when there isn't a reason for something not working. I know I've been complaining about this left and right but it really bugs the heck out of me that I'm gonna miss out on so much just because they cant put a working code on a disc. I'm probably never gonna be able to play on the other two maps of Mercs or play with the retro skins because of this incompetence.

If only it was just on the marketplace.

If it was on the market place, you won't have the chance to earn it with the events RE.net holds. Like Mcghie said, this is the first time Capcom is doing this and they are working out the kinks. The iOS app is garbage as of now, but I'm expecting it to pick up as time goes by.

One thing I hate about RE.net is that it keeps wanting me to put in age / console verifications each visit. There's no DLC yet either, but the site is still fairly new, so maybe by Christmas we'll have something to download or earn. I'd hope so.

i agree with this 100%,you already pay a good ammount of money
for the game,and then if you want more you have to pay for the dlc,just include it in the game already

it rewinds me of resident evil 5,its like,why didnt they just put lost in nightmares and such in the original game
but no,you have to pay more to get it,like the games arent expensive enough,and mostly when they make it exclusive to
the ps3 and xbox,wheres the love for the pc gamers?

its an annoying habit by capcom thats for shure

Thats funny. We were just talking about how everything that's on disc is free. Check the thread's topic name and read the posts next time.

If you mean the two unlockable maps shown as question marks in the game, those are unlocked through playing the game. You don't have to use RE.net to unlock them.

As for the costumes, I hope they still release them as DLC so people like yourself can get them.

They do have the costume recolors on the site right now.

Not the two pre-order ones. I have the three Campaign-unlocked maps and the Catacombs.

I find it pretty pathetic that some posters feels the need to belittle others in order to prove their point.

It might be best to just end this discussion and agree to disagree.

Think yourself very lucky that Capcom don't go down the Activision route and ACTUALLY sell you things that are in the game already.

That's what started this argument in the first place. Well, not on this thread but internet all together. Capcom had unlockable characters in their fighting games on disc but required you to pay for unlocking them. Propably other games too, since there has been such an outrage. Not that they would've been the only ones doing this but still.

I don't think the RE DLC was ever on disc but don't quote me on that.

It was in the form of insinuated insults. Saying that people were bitching simply because they didn't see the topic from a certain perspective. Maybe I'm overreacting but I find shit like that to be very annoying.

It was a big story when capcom released a key in the form of dlc that unlocked re5 versus. Capcom is finally seeing the error in their ways, which is why they're telling the fans that re6 on disc content is free.

Some companies like Epic Games release DLC for their games because it's the only way for them to make money after a huge release like Gears of War, or in 2K's case, Borderlands. Capcom makes games like Dragon's Dogma and Steel Battalion, and they don't do so well. Why do people whine about DLC in the first place? Resident Evil 6 Gavin DLC is a good move for Capcom, the fact that some DLC is free is a huge plus. No one complains about Gears of War or Borderlands DLC, why is it such a big deal when it's Resident Evil 6?
