Dead to Rights: Retribution GAC Pack trailer needs more dog armor
Namco Bandai has dropped a new trailer for the"GAC Pack" DLC coming to Dead to Rights: Retribution on June 1st. As you can see above, the pack offers several new Grant City Anti-Crime body armor suits to play with (Copperhead is a sniper, Kodiak brawls, and Tank is, well, a tank) in the Assault on the 87th Precinct mode, and a Riot Control mode, which pits Jack and Shadow up against waves of oncoming forces for points. So all in all, a pretty significant update for the game our own Justin McElroy called "not half bad." The download also contains the "Jack Pack" and "Shadow Pack" DLC, just in case you haven't gotten those yet, and will be available for 400 on Xbox Live or $4.99 on PSN in just under a week.
Dead to Rights: Retribution 'GAC Pack' DLC coming May 26 [update: June 1 in North America]
Click image to dance into our gallery Grant City officers looking to extend their Turner and Hooch-like experience in Dead to Rights: Retribution will soon get a new DLC pack. The "GAC Pack" (400 on Xbox Live / $4.99 on PSN) drops on May 26 in PAL territories [update: June 1 for North America] for Xbox 360 and PS3 and adds two new gameplay modes: Assault on the 87th Precinct and Riot Control. In Assault on the 87th Precinct, players take up the role of the enemy -- Grant City Anti-Crime. Playing as a Sniper, Brawler and Tank, players must perform the titular assault on the Grant City Police Department and secure the building, a twist on one of the game's campaign missions. Then there's Riot Control, which is essentially Dead to Rights' version of Horde mode: Jack and Shadow face off against waves of GAC forces, earning points "based on speed and style." Riot Control will support international leaderboards. As an added incentive for downloading the "GAC Pack," two previously pre-order exclusive DLC items will be included: the "Jack Pack" and the "Shadow Pack." These add a new set of armor for Jack and some camouflage for Shadow, as well as an "action mode" which turns every bullet into a tiny, exploding grenade. Finally, there's a noir graphic filter included if staring at all of those colors upsets your delicate retinas. %Gallery-91977%
Dead to Rights Retribution pre-order campaigns detailed
Were you sitting there reading Joystiq, thinking about how much you want to pre-order upcoming reboot Dead to Rights: Retribution? Namco has announced the pre-order campaign for the third game in two years to offer up a fighting dog, but here's the catch: There are separate pre-order bonuses should you choose to go with GameStop versus Amazon. We know, we know, but life is tough. GameStop customers will get their hands on the "Jack Pack," which includes "Grant City Anti-Crime armor" for the game's main character and a "guns-blazing action mode," which apparently turns your regular ol' bullets into exploding bullets. Madness! The folks who drop their bucks early at Amazon are granted the "Shadow Pack," which turns the aforementioned dog into a stealth ninja dog with camouflage and also adds a "noir mode" to the game, said to flip the black-and-white switch (in addition to making the blood a more intense red). Now do you have enough reasons to go out and pre-order it? Do ya? %Gallery-45220%
