Japan-only movie?

[maplesyrupghost]

seriously.

https://steamdb.info/sub/66881/

WHY? Even if it's not english, subtitle it. Stupid to make it Japan only. What's in the movie?

It's probably all the cutscenes threaded together a la the Final Fantasy XIII movie on Youtube.

Correct - it's simply a digest movie stitching together key cutscenes from the main game.

Can we get it released for the rest of the world?

But how do we add it in Japan? There's no purchase or add to cart button. Does it come pre-included in the Japanese version of the game? If so, why is there a store page and no mention of this on that page?

Edit:

I see, there's now a notice (in Japanese) on the main product page. So again, why not on the movie page? And why even have that page - it's just confusing things? But I guess this helps justify the higher price.

It's part of the Japanese SKU, so there's no separate DLC to download. The package file for the movie is already associated with the Japanese purchase sub. The final installation size for the Japanese SKU is approx. 32GB due to the Japanese voiceover and the 'digest' movie while the ROW version weighs in at ~27GB.

Yeah, I just noticed that message about that on the actual product page. It should probably also be on the movie page, or the movie page removed.

Thanks for clarifying though. I'm now more tempted to buy this (on my gaming account).

wbacon, why is this piece of DLC not available outside of Japan?
This practice of doing content, or a number of extras, and then having them only available in Japan, doesn't seem very fair at all. Recently, it was the new version of the Wesker's Report, which was excluded from the remastered version of Resident Evil released outside of Japan, while gamers in Japan got it for free. Now this?

I would like to have this option, since I enjoy the cutscenes you do for your games, and would gladly pay for this content. Like I would pay in order to have Wesker's Report subtitled.

Can you please let us know if there's plans to release this outside of Japan? And maybe you can consider releasing Wesker's Report as well?
thanks

I agree.

Seeing Japan exclusive content makes me not want the base game at all. And I own DMC4 non-special edition, seems you don't care about the rest of the world and the rest of the world is going to stop caring about your game if you keep up this regional content BS. Subtitle it at least! Americans like watching Japanese stuff! This is why we are here! Locking it out makes NO SENSE and it just pissing people off for no reason.

It's probably a money thing.

They probably see no money in bringing it to ROW.

but it's already been created. it's in the ROW game, as cut-scenes in the game itself, so there's no production required.

it's also free for japanese, correct? so they aren't even making any money from it.

You need to remember we're also paying more for the game than ROW. It's $25 or equivalent ROW, and $40 odd here. So the additional content isn't exactly free.

well that makes even less sense, they should make the pricing equal, and release the video in both countries and have english version subtitled. everyone wins! i see no logic in this game being $40. but i hear that games are generally pricier over there.

however if you look on steamdb https://steamdb.info/

last item changed was the DMC4:SE movie being removed from steam. I hope I didn't influence that decision and I could be misinterpereting it, but it was awfully odd that it even existed and then vanished in teh same day.

I'm not even upset or anything about not having it, I just wanted to voice my opinion on how much it bothered me in general that a certain country would have exclusive access to anything.

wbacon, can you please comment on this?

It is still included in the game's sub, all they did was remove the store page.

As mentioned earlier in another thread, it's similar to the Japanese voice acting situation. Those were value-adds to offset the much higher retail price in Japan (again $25 vs. $37 ~$40 depending on FX rate).

The movie, however, I think is a much more benign issue. Honestly you aren't missing much. They're pre-recorded video footages of various in-game cutscenes stitched together in sequence, and they're unskippable. It's either watch the whole thing end-to-end or you exit out completely.

As you progress through or beat the game, you can already view these in real-time rendered mode that looks so much better. On top of that, you can even skip individual cutscenes or watch them piece meal.

We simply turned off visibility on the store page since it made no sense have it's own 'store page.' The movie file is already built into the Japanese subscription and will be downloaded automatically unless you untick the check box in your DLC menu. Leaving store page visible only confuses users since it's technically not purchasable as a standalone.
