Hope for WET DLC Gets Washed Away
It’s pretty uncommon in games these days to see little to no DLC, as game developers are privvy on maximizing both profit and playtime for their loyal fanbase. In an upcoming review conducted by GamerLimit, Avi Winkler, Senior Game Designer for Artificial Mind and Movement, talks about his team’s stance on DLC for their upcoming game, WET.
Though only a small sample of what Avi Winkler said was included, his answer was quite clear.
“There’s no DLC planned at this stage, all the content is already in the box. You unlock new play modes by finishing the storyline on any difficulty level.”
Though it’s possible we could see downloadable content in the future for the title, it’s obvious that it’s not on the developer’s checklist just yet. Make sure to stick with PlayStation LifeStyle for all incoming details on WET.

No DLC doesnt make the game more/less interesting to me. I hate paying for DLC, never bought one. I would prefer everything to be put in one package.
I’d buy a game regardless of DLC. I’d even buy a game regardless of whether it had any online modes or not – as long as the game was good enough.
WET isn’t.
Having played the demo, in my personal opinion,it’s derivative and decidedly average, and I’ll be giving it a wide berth.
I’ve only seen about 3 developers get dlc right, and that’s Burnout Paradise, RockBand, and GTA IV.
@Mitch Cumstein:
What about LBP?
BTW, is that your real name?
I agree with Mitch’s point of people who had DLC right…and yes LBP has it going right too. But as for games that definitely don’t need DLC:
-BlazBlue
-Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars
Those 2 games are a lot of what I’m playing right now as well..Solid games that shipped well (though SARPBC is a PSN Title, and has been updated w/ free content…and BlazBlue has stupid DLC, but it doesn’t need it anyway)
wow really? GTA4 got their DLC right? l never tried it but it’s has to be better than the over all game since GTA4 is terrible

There are a lot more games that did DLC right than that.
Games like Disgaea 3 let you play with characters that you’re familiar with and has a few that enhance the game experience. On top of that it brings new modes with unlockable characters and even extends the post game with a new story mode with new character, weapons, and special attacks for some of the characters. While Cross edge and Dynasty Warriors games have tons of free content. At least 20 for each game. Cross edge does have premium content as well but of course it’s less than the free content and it’s all optional.
Buzz Quiz T.V., Rock Band, burnout paradise and Warhawk all have content that really helps extend the play time and expand their audience.
I mean there are a lot of companies doing DLC right. Ya know what though? Wet is on the right track for doing DLC right because they’re not taking stuff out of the game so that you can pay to unlock it.

Two thing:
1) For those that haven’t played the demo, WET plays utterly below average. I’d find it hard to believe that DLC would do anything to help it.
2) @wtGp – You are perfectly entitled to your opinion, but what exactly made GTAIV terrible? I thought it was a close second only to GTA:SA. Being even a distant second to GTA:SA is quite an accomplishment.
Othello:
i’m not speaking for wtGp oviously, but i thought gta4 was kinda bad. I thought driving was kinda shitty unless you had a sports car, i wasn’t able to go on a rampage like you can in oter gta’s, when i got in a game online it was laggy, and i didn’t care for the character much. it is definitely not as good as vice city, which i find to be a close second to san andreas. GTA4 at least had the best detail of the city, which is pretty amazing, they just didn’t make a good enough game on top of it in my eyes
This game isn’t even released yet, and we’re worried about DLC?
exactly JackC8, I mean this game has not even shipped yet and people are complaining about possible DLC or lack of DLC? How about we all see how the game is and what comes shipped in the box first before we worry about DLC.
and Plenty of developers are doing DLC right
Who cares. DLC is only good for really good games. If a game is Average or bad ( and the demo makes me say this will be average) DLC does nothing to the overall feel
Not buying this game anyway.
good, this game sucks balls anyways. the music is good though lol.
