Pre-Order Campaign For Dead To Rights : Retribution Announced
Ooooooohhhhhh what do we get???
Published: January 28, 2010
Remember when pre-ordering was left just to the HUGE games out there? Now EVERYONE has to have a pre-order bonus for whatever run of the mill game is getting released. AND we have to have a different bonus depending on where you order from. AND a lot fo the time the pre-order stuff was stuff that was free in Japan and Europe. But more video game swag is good, right? Hell, I still wear the sweet T-Shirt I got for pre-ordering Metal Gear Solid back in 1998. Snake just standing there all badass with Acquire - Assess - Respond written underneath him. Man that thing is awesome.
Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today a pre-order campaign for Dead to Rights®: Retribution for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Customers who pre-order the game from GameStop or Amazon.com will have access to a downloadable pack that provides bonus content to enhance their experience with the final retail game. Each downloadable pack will offer players an opportunity to play as modified versions of one of the game’s main characters, and feature an additional bonus mode that alters the gameplay experience.
The “Jack Pack,” exclusive to GameStop in-store or online pre-order customers, features special Grant City Anti-Crime (GAC) armor for Jack Slate, which provides an increased health boost as he battles for justice amidst a city in chaos. In addition, a guns-blazing “action mode” switches up the gameplay with explosive rounds, increasing the damage and impact of all shots fired. Token cards with redeemable codes will accompany in-store retail copies of the game, while an electronic code will be issued for online orders.
Available for pre-orders at Amazon.com, the “Shadow Pack” allows canine companion Shadow to use camouflage which reduces detection when stalking enemies with his stealth move. This pack also offers the visually striking “noir mode” where all on-screen graphics are displayed in black, white and dramatic blood red, further immersing players in the deep noir themes of the game. Customers will receive a redeemable code electronically when their game copy is shipped.
Dead to Rights®: Retribution is a ground-up reinvention of the multi-million unit selling crime action series. Thrusting players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, the game introduces an innovative new hybrid combat system that seamlessly blends third-person shooting with hand-to-hand brawling and AI partner. Deadly on their own, Jack and Shadow are even more formidable as they team up to defeat the threats they uncover in Grant City.
