Payday 2 DLC

DLcentral.co.uk finds out: Five packs planned, updates will include free content

Developer Overkill Software has pledged its on-going support for the recently released mask-wearing money-grabber, Payday 2. The studio’s Game Director, David Goldfarb, told Joystiq there are “Five DLCs planned together with [publisher] 505 Games for the coming year,” and that updates would be a mix of paid and free content.

One possible update for Payday 2 could be the addition of a non-male crew member, with Goldfarb telling OXM in an interview that “one of the first things I have on my list, is to make sure we get a female character. I’m hoping – I don’t know if we’ll get it as our first DLC, because we’d have to redo all the animations so it doesn’t look like a dude walking around with a female body… But I’d like to do that.”

The previous game, Payday: The Heist, received a couple of DLC packs, and offered new …

Injustice: Gods Among Us – Exclusive Q&A with NetherRealm Studios

Developer talks DLC, Scorpion complaints, and how extra content is driven by the fans

Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC is always surrounded by lively speculation, fevered anticipation, and consistently divides opinion amongst its players and fan-base. To find out a little more about the work that goes into creating the extra content, how much planning is behind its DLC schedule, and if managing fan disappointment is a headache, we fired some questions to Adam Urbano, senior producer at Injustice developer NetherRealm Studios. And he replied with answers…

DLCentral: Is a second Injustice DLC Season Pass a possibility?

Adam Urbano: Probably not. Additional DLC content after the four included in the Season Pass is driven entirely by our fans – for instance, we decided to add Martian Manhunter only after there was such a huge number of requests to see him added. Similarly, the DLC S.T.A.R. Labs missions were never envisioned when we created the season pass, so we had to …

In addition, buying the Champions Bundle will also give

Forza Horizon: Rally Pack DLC Review

Arcade racer takes a hard right into uncharted territory

The open-world freedom of the excellent Forza Horizon takes a more linear route with this rally expansion. Instead of screeching through traffic in one of the many hot rides across a beautiful Colorado, you’re funneled down dirt tracks with a co-driver barking out instructions.

There’s a whiff of the Colin McRae’s about it, which is unsurprising seeing as a few of the developers worked on the series before heading to Playground Games. The arcade smooth controls are fully intact, but the difference between topping the podium and watching on with tears in your eyes will require excellent reflexes. Or, y’know, an overuse of the rewind function.

Your mission is straightforward enough – gain enough points from the individual rally events to grab your place in the final. There are five new cars to bomb about in that will keep rally purists happy including the 1992 Ford Escort Cosworth and the ‘Group …

UPDATE #2: All nine of the new customization packs are now available on Xbox Live – check the download links below.

Injustice: Gods Among Us new DLC skin reveal is Blackest Night Aquaman

Smells fishy

Here it is – the penultimate new Injustice: Gods Among Us skin to be revealed this week… and it’s Aquaman sporting a look based on the Blackest Night comic crossover. The slightly off-colour King of Atlantis will be available as part of Blackest Night Pack 2, which will be released next week, 2 July, alongside new character General Zod, and Superman’s ‘Man of Steel’ costume. If the Blackest Night Pack 2 is priced in line with previous skin packs, then it’ll cost 240MSP (£2.06/€2.88/$3.00) on Xbox Live, and £2.39/$2.99 on PlayStation Network.

We don’t know who will be joining Aquaman in the Blackest Night Pack 2, but we wouldn’t be at all surprised if Green Lantern was to put in an appearance. The first Blackest Night Pack, which arrived alongside Scorpion, contained Superman, Doomsday, and The Flash.

Tomorrow will see the final reveal of the four new skins teased earlier in the week – previous two have been …
