  • This is ridiculous. 100$ for a new car model? Really?

    That is just...too expensive. 20 bucks would be fine, even then, still not cheap. But 100$? That's like paying for the game TWICE, and the game is free. Ridiculous.

    My point being that Generals 2 apparently will have DLC in the form of Factions, Units, Campaigns, and what not. I would hate to see them cost this much.

      Wait until you see the Generals 2 USA faction DLC for $120. But don't worry, they'll release it during Christmas when it'll only be $105.

            Yeah, I should've made it more obvious this was targeted at DLC for Generals 2.

              I see.
              The main problem I'm having with the DLC is that it might become a reason for EA to not release any mapping or modding tools, so that we can't create additional content for free... I hope this doesn't happen.

                Yeah, I reckon that's another possibility. It would be a shame.

                But then again, I wouldn't expect Generals 2 to have any kind of modding capability. The engine is not easy for modders, and developing unlicensed third-party tools takes time.

                MAYBE some kind of map editor would be possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath my over it, either.

                  100 bucks is too much for DLC, only if they also gave you a high quality scale-model of the car I am feel somehow justified the price.

                    *sarcasm* Pfft..$100 for a car model is cheap, you should check turbo squid, where 3D car models can cost as much as a car!

                    Such is the idea when you are hitting the F2P market. Given that Generals 2 is a full-priced game +DLC, you're not going to see $100 for a single dlc. You might top the $100 total mark if there's enough DLC that it adds up to that ammount.

                      Now thats just a ripoff, but yeah, there are things that are more expensive out there.

                        I think EA will get the message when they see no body buys it.

                          If someone can gloat about it, it will be bought. It's kind of like that "I'm rich" app for iOS.

                              I agree, and i hope EA at least releases a worldbuilder to create new skirmishmaps, missions and scripts.
                              Most important is making new skirmish scripts because the scripts from Generals-1 were predictable and i really hope that isn't the case in Generals-2.
                              I think it will be a big mistake from EA if they don't release map and mod tools.
