EVERYONE receives the Apocalypse Edition upgrade!

[WBacon]

Hi everyone,

Per today's announcement, DR3 is now Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition. The regular edition will no longer exist.

Everyone, including those who've already pre-purchased or will purchase in the future via Steam or elsewhere, will automatically be upgraded to the Apocalypse Edition. Price remains unchanged.

Apocalypse Edition now includes Dead Rising 3 plus the 'Untold Stories of Los Perdidos" episodic content consisting of the following four DLCs each with their own set of challenges and Achievements:

• DLC#1: “Operation Broken Eagle”
  
• DLC#2: “Fallen Angel”
  
• DLC#3: “Chaos Rising”
  
• DLC#4: “The Last Agent”

Each add-on chapter focuses on a different protagonist that ties into the main DR3 storyline and gives players access to crazy new weapons and vehicles that carry over to the main game.

So... in short you are ripping us off and scamming your buyers with no intention of true compensation.

Multiple locations are selling both copies. There are those who paid extra for the Apocalypse Edition. How do you intend to cover the difference between the costs? There are numerous online retailers selling both versions. Example: Original price before discount exceeds $60 USD. They are intentionally labeling it as a premium version because Capcom allowed this issue to occur.

Wait, what? It's the same price for Apocalypse Edition as it was in the beginning for standard DR3. There only exist one version of DR3 on PC, namely Apocalypse Ed, that's with all the DLC. It's not Capcoms fault.

Nope. Here is a location where the original price is $64.71 USD being treated as a premium item but marked down on a sale value at $35.99. This is partially due to the fact that Capcom hasn't made it widely known about the basic version getting the DLC for free. In fact, the only place, that appears to list this info is the stickied thread on the Steam forums. Their own site has little to no information and doesn't even say this. http://www.unlimitedgamestore.com/dead-rising-3-apocalypse-edition-steam-cd-key-pre-order.html?keyword=dead

I could have purchased the basic version which is still being sold by a lot of retailers for $10 cheaper had I known that the basic version gets a free upgrade. Both the basic version and AE version are being sold online, not just the AE version. Keys are actively available for BOTH. This should not be the case and is entirely Capcom's fault and this can be further verified by the fact that those with the basic edition's key are having issues getting the free dlc atm.

Thing is, there is only one set of keys. There is no standard DR3 retail box for PC. Also, that's a non-authorized key store which is why they wanna make it look like a good price.

No, once again I shall make it clear. The post at the top, by a developer, specifically states that all pre-purchased and other copies sold in the future of the base version will automatically be upgraded to AE version. From this point on any new keys released by Capcom will be for AE only, that is the only difference. Keys already sold to retailers and online venders prior to this may be either version. This is one of the reasons why so many people are having issues with upgrading to their free DLC from the base version while those with AE get it automatically without any upgrade.

I have no idea why you simply assumed that is a non-authorized key store based off no evidence showing such. Steam isn't the only digital retailer for PC titles. Are you familiar with Green Man Gaming which is another well known digital vendor? Same thing. Here is a site that provides a list of several and their current prices so you can find the best deal: http://www.dlcompare.com/games/buy-dead-rising-3-677#pc
That site includes the one I am refering too in previous posts.

Capcom is at fault as they haven't properly provided info on a wide enough visible scale to avoid this issue. As stated earlier, Steam is the only place that even states that AE is being treated as the only version now and the basic version being discontinued and any with the basic version get a free upgrade. However, thats only stated on Steam in a stickied thread on their forums and no where else. Double checking this it appears Capcom pulled the EXACT same stunt with the Tribute pack DLC free upgrade at physical retailers and still charged extra for the Day One edition on the Xbox One version while offering the DLC for free to those who got the standard.

You know what they did? Nothing at all, for real. The subscription name is still only "Dead Rising 3" There still only exist 3 types of keys. One set for Japan, one set for Russia and the rest RoW. They only added all of the DLC to these subscriptions, which are the only ones sold. There exist no specific Apocalypse Edition sub. Literally the only thing that says "Apocalypse Edition" is the only retail box and the storepage. Also, they hadn't given out any keys to any retailer at that time when they annouced it.

The site you linked is not an authorized reseller. They even give help on VPN activations. Most of those sites that tells you that they sell CD-keys for cheap prices are not autorized. They've should have an MSRP to follow, and these sites do not follow them. That comparison site only links to unauthorized sellers. Use Cheapshark instead if you want deals on sites that are authorized.

Would it be also great to.... relase a game without the engine being broken causing the game to crash for 8/10 players, so they could actually play the game... and those DLCs? I mean, if there is no paper it doesn't matters the toilet even has HDMI port on it for some reason.

Ok let me make this very clear. Even the first post by the developer covers the fact that there are still, technically, two different versions for keys hence you get the upgrade vs getting the content per standard. The exact issues playing out where people are not getting the DLC are where those upgrading from the basic are having issues. This isn't a discussion, this is a fact that you continue to ignore despite even the developer stating it. The original price was marked as $64 for pre-orders at Gamestop/Steam/etc. for the AE prior to release.

The sites I pointed at ARE authorized retailers. So far you have not given an explanation as why you believe it is unauthorized. None of the sites you listed from that link have an MSRP posted on them, either. MSRP is not required by law but an established concept where if retailers do not sell at the price requested by a developer that developer is likely to no longer allow any of their games to be sold there which can have wide spread negative effects for a company, especially if done to an umbrella company. The ones on the site you listed are well known western sites. The ones from the site I listed are primarily european sites which is why you are unfamiliar with them and simply assume they are unathorized. Helping with VPN activation. The keys are acquired from industry suppliers and the VPN is for Russian/Poland keys. Of course, they are much smaller company then one like Gamestop hence an online only format. Even Green Man Gaming is relatively small and is growing hefty over the past 2 years.

Look at this[steamdb.info]. There is no different versions. What wbacon meant is that all of the pre-orders of Dead Rising 3 before Apocalypse Edition was annouced are upgraded to AE (by name), because there will be no other version. Steam has always had the same price for DR3 both pre AE announcment and after.
Also, trust me on this, those sites are not authorized. Green Man Gaming is, but not for example Kinguin isn't. OKS isn't either and neither is GameKeys4All. Most of them are based in Asia where they get the keys cheap to resell. Do you really think publishers would be okay with supplying stores with RU keys that sells for less?

That is a website specifically for Steam and Steam is only offering the AE version making it null as proof of any sort. That site only shows the lowest price on Steam and the current price not the highest or a history of the pricing.
No, those sites are mostly European based and their currency choices are USD, Euro, Pound. You have no evidence to support your statements of them being unauthorized and haven't made any effort to provide any such proof other then you say it is. They don't intend for them to sell Russian keys at such low prices, that said, they are acquiring the keys throuhg industry vendors. Doesn't mean that a company may or may not practice shady business, even major names such as Intel, AMD, Walmart, etc. have their own bad history. You don't make a solid case. At least you aren't throwing around bleep this and bleep that comments though. I originally put off buying it from Steam, pre-order, even though I loved the original Dead Rising and less so the second one because of the larger price tag that has since dropped and thats including that I had been hyped for a PC release since it was shown for the XBox One.

What about the Tribute packs? The Nick Ramos, Chuck Green and Frank west weapons and clothes?

[MJ]

Yes! Free DLC for a game that for some users won't even start or load. Great marketing!

[zamirt]

RECEIVED BUT I CAN NOT PLAY

[____Q____]

Hilarious, free DLC but no way for loads of people to play this game.... LOL

[BridgetFisher]

I've seen one person mod the game already and unlocked the Frank West outift... So the files are already in the game... I don't know why Wbacon or Capcom couldn't mention this themselves...
