God of War III DLC plans revealed News
PlayStation 3 News by Ellie Gibson
The producer of God of War III has hinted at what we can expect in terms of downloadable content for the game.
Speaking to GamePro, Stig Asmussen said it would "make a lot of sense" to offer downloadable challenge rooms after release.
"So, maybe you'll see the game ship with a certain amount of challenges on it, then later on, we might put a download pack out with new challenges. It's a good way to keep the series going," he said. "We have different enemy types to work with, and the enemies do a lot of different things. Challenges are usually based off mechanics that are built in the game, so all the new mechanics will allow us to do different challenges.
"For example, now that you have creatures you can ride, maybe we'll put in a challenge where in a certain amount of time you have to get on a Cyclops and kill a certain number of enemies in a certain amount of time. Or, maybe you have to use the Cyclops to get through a certain type of hazard or area or something like that."
Elsewhere in the interview Asmussen said it will take "between 10 or 20 hours" to complete God of War III, depending on how good/rubbish you are.
He also revealed the design team is still considering putting Sixaxis functionality into the game. "We're not currently using it, but that doesn't mean we won't get something in there by the time it ships," said Asmussen. "I can see a lot of different uses for it."
Best get a move on as there's not that long to go - God of War III will be released in March 2010. But you can play it before that, next week in fact, if you go to the Eurogamer Expo. Get your tickets now, six quid per day. That includes all the games you can eat plus free and unlimited use of the toilets.

What is this Expo thing? Never heard of it before. :P
Looking forward to the game but not really interested in challenge rooms DLC. |

So you've still got time to implement an entire control scheme before going gold, but not to put in the (already planned) challenge rooms?

So, challenge rooms which were a given in both previous games are going to become DLC for the third one?
Gotta love DLC. Milk it away, boys! So basically its the Arkham Asylum approach to DLC. Free DLC? We should be so lucky.

Paid for DLC will put gow3 off my list too. LoL, i hate it so much it feels like buying only part of a game for 60 $ and having the rest left out for later. Another retarded thing is that dlc posses restrictions on you money. Where you take it etc so having it actually cost something instead of being available anywhere just knocks off some value.
I probably wont buy it depending on how i feel about the dlc they offer |

"Paid for DLC will put gow3 off my list too" As long as the existence of DLC (either paid-for or free) does not take away anything from the original game, I don't mind it. However, if having DLC means devs are just going to charge for something they should have been including in the original game (especially if there's precedent that they have been including it previously), then it does sour my, well, attitude towards the developers (but not the game, GOW3 looks kick-ass, from what I saw of the E3 demo). |

@ Lemming81:
You seem to be forgetting the intent of the post, it's not a serious opinion. |

They'd better make sure the game ships with more than adequate content, especially challenge rooms if the story mode is lacking (which I assume it will be; 10-20 hours from a developer translates to around 6 hours to most of us). Batman: Arkham Asylum almost demands that Sony don't try and rip us off here, since that game came with plenty of challenge rooms and free download content to boot.
If I see a glimmer of held-back content for premium release I will not be best pleased. |
