Resident Evil 6

On-Disc Resident Evil 6 Content Will Be Free
Written Thursday, October 11, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

Resident Evil 6's recently discovered on-disc content will be made available free of charge.

Arriving with an upcoming title update, players will be able to enjoy (or endure) the ultra-tough No Hope difficulty setting, plus co-op for Ada Wong’s campaign allowing you to play along with a friend.

Currently you can only unlock Ada’s section of the game by completing all three of the other campaigns. Following the update you’ll be able to play it whenever you want.

Clarifying the presence of the on-disc content, Capcom said, “Some data of this update is on the disc, but said data is incomplete and requires the actual download to access.” 

The publisher also added that other on-disc content, including The Mercenaries costumes, are free ResidentEvil.net unlocks.

“Future paid DLC – like the multiplayer modes we revealed a while ago – is not on the disc,” said Capcom, getting a little testy. “We said as much a month ago, but that point may have been lost in the shuffle.”

Capcom’s use of on-disc DLC continues to be controversial. Street Fighter x Tekken’s premium on-disc content lead to an angry fan reaction that prompted the publisher to rethink its methods.

Resident Evil 6 was released earlier this month. It received a lukewarm critical response, but has performed strongly in its native Japan selling an impressive 676,585 copies at launch.

In the UK meanwhile, Resident Evil 6 was beaten to the top spot by FIFA 13 on its first week on sale.

I think it trivialises Ada's campaign a bit to have it available from the beginning when it's supposed to be played after the other three, but it's nice to have some free DLC from Capcom for a change.

I dont understand what the point is? If they did always plan of making it free, then why lock it out if its already on the disc. Makes me think they were going to charge until it got 'found' on the disc.

Remember when things were locked until you beat the game or met some kind of conditions? Like costumes or modes? Yeah, that's probably why they were quiet about it. But, you know what, we should hate on Capcom anyway. For no reason, right, guys? Seriously...

It's impossible if possible at whose blind word?
So clear but so unheard. Free? Saving face I guess.

So... who will you play as in Ada's Co-Op campaign? I can't really see who else you could fit in, not for the life of me, unless Capcom retcons some character.

@12 Ok, but why put some of it on there if you still then have to download another bit of it.

I dont see what the point is in having it locked if its free. If the intention was to always have it free, then include of all it on the disc from day one. Or have it all as DLC.
They are only making problems for themselves, because people think they are being dishonest about it, and holding content back to then charge for it, but obviously in this case its free. But is that because people found out about it? We wont know.

@7 - see #12.

@13:

Its not Capcoms fault that people jump to conclusions and get angry. The content on the disc is incomplete. We have to download a little bit more data to complete it. Its likely we wouldnt have had an Ada campaign at all If Capcom kept that off the disc. And in the long run, its much easier and less costly to put partial(read: incomplete) content on the disc.

You "still dont understand why its locked if its free?"

Regardles of the fact that its free:
It is locked because it is incomplete.
It is incomplete, therefore it is locked.
Because the content is incomplete, its locked.

How many different ways do you want to read it?

Either that, or Capcom is talking out its ass and it was all originally paid DLC, but im inclined to believe the former.

Time constraints. Every game is released unfinished. There were probably bugs in them so they were locked until actually finished.

paying for multiplayer modes, paying for extra costumes, PAYING for a game that isn't even finished by the looks of it (disc locked content that's free or not finished whatever)

capcom should reorganize, rethink and then start to make games again.

@15 I get that they are saying its not finished, and if thats all true then fine.

But did Capcom also not say they wouldnt do on disc DLC? I could be completely wrong, and it could have been someone else.

If it were me, I would have upfront said that there was content on the game that was locked that would become available at a later for free once the rest of it was finished... if that was always there intention! Its saves the confusion. It saves the speculation, and it clears it all up for everyone.

I agree with your origional post, all capcom mean by "incomplete" is that a key is required to access the contect. There is footage on youtube already of hackers playing the extra content already. It didn't look incomplete to me, worked just fine. So i agree with what you said and don't think the on disc content was half done. If it was they wouldn't have even bothered putting it on the disc to begin with.

We will find out soon enough anyway, if the download is in KB or a few MB's we know it was complete. But if its more than that it was incomplete. A key doesn't require much memory but extra content being added to the incomplete DLC will. Time will tell =)

For those who haven't researched, Ada's campaign partner will be a generic Agent soldier. He resembles Chris' soldiers, that is. Also, he will not have any dialogue and will likely not be in the cutscenes.

I find this funny because everyone was jumping to conclusions.

The costumes were almost obviously going to be RE.net stuff and the taunts/melee moves were *not* listed as DLC from the guy who posted the videos. 360a is who decided to say that.

As for No Hope Difficulty, there were people, and the guides, that mentioned the difficulty as being in the game, so that was fully intended to be there at one point and then got removed along the way. And Ada's co-op was confirmed via the first demo, so these are all things initially intended.

They probably did have intent on selling the Ada thing and No Hope, but considering they didn't give out the discovered SF x TK stuff for free (any of it), I feel like they must have planned at the last second, before being found out, to give it out free so people didn't complain.

Regardless, not sure why people are still mad. It's free. Regardless of WHY it is free and whether it makes sense or not that it was locked and needs an update is irrelevant. You're still getting it.

Am i the only one thinking that it's a bit crap that they're unlocking the campaign that was something to work towards? Seems like a cheap short cut to get people playing that particular campaign to me tbh. :/

To the rest of it, I'm glad that it's free, though them mentioning paying for multiplayer modes... the only way that's justified is if ALOT of works needed to re-imagin things for that mode, not just slayer or objective things, other wise the content wouldnt be worth paying for at all most likely.
I can never being myself to pay for a multiplayer mode, unless its something like CoD zombies is to WaW, that sort of thing I understand paying for, but meh.

Paying for Multiplayer is terrible. They need to adopt Mass Effect 3's "Free to Play" microtransaction scheme. That'd make them more money in the long run.

lol, it's remarkable. Hackers discover on-disc content: "wtf Capcom, you said no on-disc content?" Capcom announces that the on-disc content will be free: "Yeah, well, that's probably only because you got caught." Capcom will give you a free blowjob if you'd stop complaining: "It was pretty messy. A lot of slobber."

Game developers could pull the moon out of the sky for some of these kids and they'll still find something to complain about. Yeah, there was on-disc content. Who cares why they made it free, the point is, it's free now. You can go to sleep with a smile on your face knowing that you won't be paying for this content.

There's no positive reinforcement in this industry. People don't understand that there will never be any such thing as "the perfect game," so they can take a game that's amazing (not this one in particular; I haven't played it), and pick out every little thing that's wrong with it until they hate it. Then, they blame the developer for every bit of it, and when they correct it all, the consumer will find more to complain about. Just stop; you struck a winning blow. This hacker found the on-disc content, and as a DIRECT result of that, this content, which may or may not have ever seen the light of day, will be made available to everyone, and for free. That's all there is to it. Quit with the entitlement bullshit, just be happy that you're getting something for free which you could, potentially, have paid for.

I'm sorry but when did an extra difficulty and adding co-op to a campaign already available count as DLC anyway? The reason they're giving early access to Ada's campaign is probably because so few people can be bothered to trudge through all 3 of the other campaigns anyway...

@54 and others: Stop complaining about people that are complaining! These comment sections are to voice your opinion and it don't always have to be positive about everything. If you can't deal with different opinions stay away from comment sections. Capcom is as well as as few others very well known for shady business practices and customer scams, so doubt is very well justified. On the other hand I wonder why people should be thankful. I just can't see how cutting content from a game and later giving it back for free is in some way generous. If the content really is not complete, I don't see why they should get praise for not finishing their work in time.
Its not like you can't satisfy people. Just give them a complete game on a disc and you'll hear close to no complains. Its just when a game comes out and there is a shitton to be delivered later, we may accept that but not particularly like that, especially when we have to pay for it. Most people expect a complete, fixed and working product when they pay top dollar for it.

I agree with #2 about the Ada's campaign being available from the start. Her story ties together far too many plot points from all 3 other campaigns, so I agree that it should only come after the other 3. Did I like having to beat all the other campaigns before playing my favorite character's? God no, I hated Chris' through and through. But I don't agree less that it's stupid to play hers from the start.

Given Capcom's past, this bit of news is a bit fishy. Yeah, they DID publicly state that they were going to review their then-current policies of having locked on-disc content, but that's about all we heard about it. I personally don't remember hearing them coming to any sort of final conclusion about them stopping the practice.

So... AFTER the locked on-disc and incomplete content was discovered on the disc, they decide to announce that it will be released for free via an update of some sort. I can't help but raise an eyebrow...

The reality, however, is that it doesn't matter too much in the end because they aren't screwing the fans who bought the game by hiding away goodies on the disc and having them pay for it later in the name of "DLC".

@ 26 + 28
Professional is easy, wish 5 had a no hope mode, they should add it in :p

Who cares about what your characters look like? it's not like the costume makes an impact on your game

If Ada's campaign should be played after the other 3 story wise then they should not unlock it for the whims of a load of bitches who didn't even know it was there. Those that earned it got a sense of gratitude for it, now you can play it any when it takes all that away, and I bet you all start moaning that it's too hard.

As for Capcom and this whole fiasco, they are cheeky bastards but you all still bought the game. If you want them to change then don't buy the games, profit margins will speak louder than any of you.

Such a shame what Capcom have turned rezi into, a shadow of its former self and lapped up just because it says resident evil on the case. Survival horror people, remember that? playing 2 and 3 in the dark shitting yourself as kids? Now it's a second rate action game without even having any zombies in it.

Bring on the down votes.

@57 I would like to see you release a AAA game on the projected date you gave it 100% free of bugs, fully functional content, everything you wanted to put into the game on the disc and playable on Day 1. Because you act like it's unjustifiable that something would have to be cut to meet a release date, or maybe you want to add something new to the game late into the process but it's too late to add it to the disc or make it functional by your release date. So rather than break your game you hold it back and push it out later when you are not under a strenuous release schedule.

I'm not saying Capcom is 100% free of blame. Planned DLC in Season Passes are a begrudging addition to the practice (in general terms), and their prior practices of held content for extra money are inexcusable. But that doesn't mean we have to go for their throats every time a feature doesn't make the Day 1 cut. This has happened for YEARS, even before console gaming on the PCs.

Jurassic Park: Trespasser was a terrible, released-half-broken game, but it could have been a great game; the team was just too ambitious for computers at the time and ran out of budget and production time. They tried to patch a lot of that after the fact, but in their case it was just too fargone.

And maybe that doesn't count for you. Maybe that's more glitches than features. But I guarantee you this isn't the first time this situation has happened, and it won't be the last. That's why we have Release patches, as they try to fix things and add back in features that didn't make it to the disc. You can be mad all you want but that's the way production goes.

@65 "Now it's a second rate action game without even having any zombies in it."

By your definition of zombies. There are indeed generally recognized principles about zombies but people buck the trend all the time in their own fictions and universes, which I'm sure you can find recorded in numerous places online, likely and most notably wikis and Wikias.
