Dang, so a 20 hours game, yet DLC is pretty much ready for release before the game, not a fan of this, clearly seems like locking content behind to double dip on customer's wallets. I bet it will be a fantastic game but this leaves a sour taste.
Oh CDPR how I miss you.

Ugh. One is a company known for milking its customers and the other is Insomniac.
I wish the press release didn't spoil that Black Cat doesn't even show up in the base game.
I mean, I guess it saves me the effort of spending a dozen hours swinging over New York scooping up Cat drops, but I'd rather have this integrated into the base game instead of add on episodes.
DLC to me implies the game isn't exactly what you wanted if you feel the need to add to it later. That's just me. The only reason I'll own this DLC is because the console comes with it I believe.
The game is 20 hours of story content, what does the DLC have to do with that number. We dont know how long it is with side content
The pricing is a bit weird. The normal digital edition in the US costs only $60, here in Germany it costs 70€. However, both price the deluxe edition at 80. So a $20 increase vs 10€. Perhaps this means the pass in the EU will be 15€? If the pass costs 25€ then the deluxe edition would definitely be the way to go.
Does the game release two and a half weeks later where you live?
Why?
Teams get done working on the main game while others are finishing it up so they start on post-release content.
It's fine.
That's an extremely silly and short-sighted view of DLC, but you do you. /shrug
Agreed. I hope it costs around £14.99, but i'm not too fussed really. I'm just tired of being fucked over by prices sometimes.
If the game's as good as I believe it to be, I'll dip obviously. I'm definitely curious as to how long each one will be. Is this something you can disclose, jstevenson? :o
Silver Lining, huh? Is Silver Sable that important to Spidey overall? It feels like someone is pushing her super hard these days.
Would much prefer a Mysterio DLC...ah well.

Yup people who already have something against the game already. It is sad we turned into full-blown gamefaqs.
It's a valid question? Some developers include post release modes, quests and cosmetics for free and only charge for huge chunks of content that they make post release instead of before releasing the game?

Here's what all devs should do to appease the skeptics. Just leave your finished DLC sitting on the shelf for 3 months and don't say anything about it. They'll think you were working on it the entire time and will be happy!
There is a ton of stuff you never even know about that is cut during development for time constraints, lack of manpower, not enough in the budget, or maybe it just didn't work as planned. Are people supposed to freak out at From Software after seeing all the cut content from Bloodborne that is only now being revealed because the game is getting datamined to Hell and back? No game is ever what the develoeprs exactly wanted to be just like any movie production, TV show production and so on.
That's almost a year away. Seems smarter to release additional paid content as close to the original release, when the game is still fresh in people's minds, as possible to maximize visibility, and prevent people from flooding GameStop with used copies.
That's somehow the craziest take I've seen on this site, hat's off to you.
Silver Sable featured pretty prominently in Ultimate Spider-Man, and it was pretty cool. :P
How no? are you saying they started to work on this content after they finished with the game?
I just never really think of her as a key member of Spidey's supporting cast. Felicia, sure, but Sable?
I'm just gonna stay salty over Mysterio for a while.

I know personally, if I really like a game I'd prefer extra content as soon as possible, as opposed to months and months down the line when I will like I have moved on to something else.
No but if it's not free, I wouldn't announce it before releasing the main game. I wouldn't release the DLC after 1 month.
I'm excited for Spider-Man and think it's going to be a very good game. But as I said, I'm not a fan of early DLCs.
Finally more informations about the DLCs / the season pass. Can't wait! September 7th baby!
I wanna know what I will get for my season pass and would rather not wait months and months until some news drop.
Have a hard time believing anybody saying otherwise it's right there on the store, you trynna pre order from amazon,Best Buy, GameStop etc it's right there as an option deluxe edition. It's been know for so damn long. We've even know the first was black cat for awhile. Most of the ppl in here are regular posters idk how u couldn't know
Spoiler alert: Almost all games with DLC know when it's coming out. Just because they don't publicly announce it doesn't change anything.
Horizon Zero Dawn came out in February 2017, and the first trailer for the Frozen Wilds was just a couple months later at E3. They almost certainly knew at launch that the DLC would be coming out in October. They just didn't tell us.
I don't understand the statement, it's 3 new suits for the DLC The Heist or 1 new suit per DLC ?
Not a fan of this, I'll wait to pick this up i woulf have rather they included this in the main game and built a massive expansion instead of releasing unfinished content a month after
Why not? What is wrong with it other than the dated perceptions of a small vocal minority?
TW3's free DLC for the most part is just minor. A couple quests and then costumes, hairstyles and New Game+. They're certainly nice, but the meaty story content for TW3 was sold separately as DLC.
I would announce it before the main game since this is a time when most people are paying attention to the game and making the decision on purchasing.
Like me.
This pushed me closer to getting the Deluxe edition.
Even If another team was developing along side, in the past the developers would make more content inside the game then when the game is done, start the DLC.
When you have this developed along side with the game It feels like cut content, or that the developers on that team could have made extra stuff in the main game, but instead they were making dlc when the main game was being developed.
I have a pre-order on the game, and that Will not Change, but i don't like this even If i like insomniac games.

Nice, sounds good.
Some hilarious posts in here. I honestly can't tell if some of them are serious or not.

So, because they already "told us that DLC exist long ago" means that I can't be against this practice?
Look I like the game and probably gonna follow up after seeing the reviews and gameplays(trying to hold my hype is hard but anyway). It doesn't mean I have to support this lol
Dude no offense, but I don't care. I'm not a fan of this practice.
Yeah, I get you. Mysterio is one of the best Spidey villains, for sure. I think Sable's less well-known, perhaps for the reason you stated. She's great though, imo.
This is the right attitude. All I wanna know is the price for the UK. I'm already getting the standard edition cheaply. :)
The main game went gold a few weeks ago. And they've probably been setting aside a little time to work on DLC and probably had the voice work done. But what do you think the bulk of their work in August, September, and October will be?
This reaction is why devs and publishers NDA the industry to hell and we never get real good early looks. Like I think the basic concepts of time are even foreign to some people in here. Is it such a shocking development that they could have one team working on the main game and it's ready at one time and they have another team working on another thing and, WHAT!!, it's ready at a different time, holy shit, the revelations never end. Just the most basic concepts around projects are like eldritch truths.
