Check Your HUDCast 12: Better Late Than Never
March 18th, 2009
We’re a little late this week, but luckily not pregnant with a baby podcast. Mike, Eric and Jenni fight off a zombie infestation while determining the best strategies against aliens and avoid random battles. (Actually they just talk about Resident Evil 5, Halo Wars and Persona 4.) For an added bonus, listen to the cast stumble awkwardly over issues of racism in Resident Evil 5.
Intro: Future Soon by Jonathan Coulton
Outro: Zombie Me by No More Kings
Break music: Intermission by The Offspring

While I don’t necessarily think that $5 for vs mode is necessarily worth it or a smart move by Capcom… I do disagree with your thoughts that the cost is completely unwarranted. If the vs mode IS on the disc, then there really isn’t a need to charge extra for it, because it was completed prior to the disc going gold.
However, if it is not on the disc, then development on it likely started AFTER the game was finished, meaning it did require extra development time and extra costs. I am perfectly fine with them charging for that. It might seem like something simple, but it’s still going to take months of development and testing time, which is VERY costly for a studio.
