Crash Commando - New Add-On Content and Free PS3 Patch

[PS3 News]

SCEA Producer Daimion Pinnock has announced that some new Crash Commando add-on content and a free PS3 patch will arrive this week.

To quote: This week we're launching a bunch of new stuff for Crash Commando including a patch, new characters and a new map pack. Here to talk about it is John McLaughlin from Xdev Studio Europe. Keep an eye out for the patch and DLC, launching this Thursday with the PlayStation Store update.

I'm pleased to announce that on August 27 we will be releasing a new patch and some new content that I'm sure you will all love.

We are always looking for feedback and listening to what you guys are saying about Crash Commando. We've been taking your comments on board and will be releasing a patch with the following improvements:

- Rebalanced primary weapons
- Portraits of the characters on the standing screen
- Access to the online store within the game
- Specific invert axis option for the turret gun
- Improved sound output levels
- Taunt animation when standing still added for original characters
- Improved BOT AI

As well as that we have a bunch of cool new downloadable add-ons for you.

First of all there are the New Recruits, 6 new characters for you to choose from. Each package comes with 2 characters that have a ton of attitude and plenty to say for themselves.

Colonel Chaos & Army Chick

Get to der choppaaaa with these two characters. The Colonel is a beefy guy so you best watch out for his lederhosen, and Army Chick may look cute but she packs a mean array of weaponry.

Nukem Ninja & Maid Mayhem

Who'd have thought Ninjas would be so good with Rocket Launchers?? Well the Ninjas in Crash Commando are....As for our resident French maid.....all I will say if you have a moustache then you may be in line for a date ;o)

Gangster Rapper & Reggae Rasta

Which is best - Rap or Reggae? Well these two guys like to argue with big guns rather than clever lyrics. Why don't you help them win their argument!!!

We will also be releasing the Heist Map Pack. This contains 2 new large maps for you to wreak destruction on and the all new Heist game mode will test your crash Commando skills to the limit!!

Grab the bag of cash and get to the safe to deposit it. But beware, the bag is heavy and you won't be able to use any weapons. You have to rely on your team mates for covering fire to keep your opponents away and see you win the day. If you buy this pack you also get to play Heist mode on all the standard maps too. And don't forget, this pack will add a new bunch of Trophies for you to collect!!

That's all from me. Remember, keep firing and keep feeding back - we love to read your comments on the game. Oh and do me a favour....next time I'm online, go easy on me :o)

The full game is out now for $9.99, and there is a demo to try it out before you buy. The new map pack will be available this Thursday for $2.99 (trailer below), and each of the three character packs will be available for $1.99. Or, you can pick up the maps and all of the new characters for a steal at $4.99.

I have crash but I wont be interested in this. Not looking to scrounge together the online funds to buy a map pack for a game thats out of the spotlight already. Good luck to them getting people to buy it in the face of other purchases (not gonna help them build the game AT ALL)

Its like valve said, you sell the game not try to milk those who already bought it

i gotta pay for this its a downloadable game the only thing i want would be the rapper lol but if he doesn't talk like in pain then its not worth the money.

Checked just a while ago to see whats up with the game online. Say something like 10 games with very few ppl in it... dont know what exactly they are aiming for with this dlc because there are very few ppl who will be still interested and add to that a cost. Best they repackage the game with it and make that known to old commandos gamers and new ones
