£10 then? I will wait for a sale.

[Mr. Spencer]

Seems like a reasonable price.

[Dracarys]

Seems like a reasonable price.

I'm expecting similar amount content to BCR1, I'll burn through it too fast. Retail games here drop silly low prices so for a tenner I could buy a new copy of God of War III or Final Fantasy XIII or something like that, it skews the opinion on PSN/XBLA games value.

[Carnivol]

Going by the new challenge room designs and how the world map look like what I seem to recall being drawn on a whiteboard in some of the old photos from the GRIN office... I'd say there's a possibility that content-wise, BC:R2 will be richer than its prequel.

And, true, games drop in prices, but so far this generation, I think I've found most bang for the buck from stuff I've picked up on XBLA (though, there have been a few exceptions here and there where I felt that a retail release was worth every single coin poured into it and more)

[Mr. Spencer]

I think Steam has always offered some decent sales.

[Carnivol]

Yup. There's usually a good few Deal(s) of the Week or other promotions on Xbox LIVE too, but that still doesn't stop me from getting a bit annoyed every time people moan about prices not being low enough on launch (That generally seems to be the deal now, just as it was before; buy a game or any other product on launch - pay premium for it.)

Of course, I do belong in the camp that believes that there are quite a good few games that are horribly overpriced on launch... (to the point where it affects sales/profit)

[Mr. Spencer]

Can I also add, I hope that Groeder makes an appearance in Rearmed 2.

[Carnivol]

Like my fellow moderator on the old BC boards, I have to wonder if its coincidence that the game's bad guy is called Sabio.

Generalissimo Killt's original name in the Japanese version of BC was Wiseman, Sabio is basically the Spanish equivalent of Wiseman.

Loving the sound effects.

Final Fight all over again.

[Zombie Fred]

I'm glad that I am getting this on XBLA than on PSN. That DRM method sucks.

[Dracarys]

£10 then? I will wait for a sale.

It is £12, haha. I cannot justify this remotely, especially with the DRM. Even if it gets a sale I think it'll be full price of what BCR1 was when released, base on other £12 game sales.

[Mr. Spencer]

Do you go to NeoGAF, KylieDog?
