"Epilogue" DLC

[Bebpo]

Ubi 

[WrikaWrek]

You do know the reason why they are going to offer this epilogue DLC, is because the game bombed, and thus, they can't continue the story with a sequel, because there will be no sequel.

[cool breeze]

yeah, I remember someone joking a while back (I think from EA) about selling the end of the game as DLC to combat piracy.  Ubisoft listened.

[dammitmattt]

How much, how much content, and are there achievements?

[Eel O'Brian]

i'm liking it okay so far

i can't comment on the story because i only halfway pay attention to what's being said and i sort of tune out

 i'm just enjoying the pretty scenery and the easy jumping

it's a good game to autopilot through and watch all the cool animations

It's no Assassin's Creed, but it's not a bomb by any stretch (especially when you consider that they reused the AC engine). And where the hell did you get that 2 million figure, Green Man?

Anyway, I'll buy the epilogue if it has new achievements.

500 k across both platforms is not a bomb? This game was a major release for Ubisoft, sales expectations were in the 2/3 million mark. The dev himself said that sequels depended on the success of the installment. It's the worst selling Ubisoft Prince of Persia by far.

It's a bomb. This ain't the Ps1 days. Next Prince of Persia will be very different.

Just beat PoP on the PS3. I loved this game, and am considering picking up the Epilogue DLC. Did anyone play it?

[Bebpo]

Yeah, it's worth the money if you enjoyed the main game at all.

[demi]

game is garbage, dont spend a penny on this crap

[MyNameIsMethodis]

demi craps on a PS3 game, surprising.

It's also on the 360, and he didn't like that version.

[Joe Molotov]

Will this be a 108kb download?

[Mr. Gundam]

It was a 528 MB download.

There were so many awesome games coming out in that period that a lot of games bombed. 

It seems a lot of publishers/developers eventually realised why their sales for some games were low in that period (duh), and if so they may stick to the formula but release at a better time.

Actually, another model I'm waiting to encounter is including a portion of the game as DLC with a one-time unlock code that ships in the game. Maybe stick 20% of the gameplay in there, and it's only accessible to people who purchased the game new. Imagine if Rock Band 2's free 20 tracks were the hard-hitters like The Who and Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica instead of local Boston bands and other up-and-comers. People would have been falling over themselves to buy it new.
