"Versus" Brings New Online Gameplay Excitement To Resident EvilTM 5 Via Digital Download

Additional Mode Adds A New, Deadly Twist To RE5 Multiplayer Gameplay

Tired of working together with other players in Resident Evil™ 5? Ready to show your co-op partner exactly what you think of their gaming abilities? Capcom is pleased to announce that a new multiplayer mode for the soon-to-be blockbuster, Resident Evil 5, will be released post-launch as paid digital content via Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network. The new mode, called ‘Versus,’ adds a deadly twist to Resident Evil 5’s multiplayer, pitting players against each other in a contest of survival, a marked departure from the central co-operative nature of the game.

Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor’s Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles.

Versus will be available on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network a few weeks after Resident Evil 5 is available. Versus will be available for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or $3.99 on the PlayStation Network. Versus mode requires the Resident Evil game software in order to be played. A broadband internet connection is required.

Yeah, even if it's not on the disc they should not be charging for this content. That or maybe include a code for it in the Collector's Edition of the game.
 
fuck Off Capcom, so now we're paying extra for the multiplayer, if you're going to release the game in bits at least have the decency not to charge $60 for it.

Well I won't be touching this game till it's $20 pre-owned at GS.
 
I am a big fan of Capcom games, but this is the kind of slap to the face that bugs me about DLC. I realize the game goes gold before release, but seeing as how you can't buy a new game without an update downloading as soon as you put it in, you KNOW they are working on it after. If it's a feature the team wanted but ran out of time for, why not patch it in like Criterion did? This just reminds me of the MM9 DLC all over.

Don't get me wrong, I've bought DLC for Warhawk and Burnout (maybe others) but it's easy to tell when it's a cash in rather than something the developers believe will rekindle the game and improve it.
 
Well what can I say? GJ Capcom. It was just too hard for them to resist putting a price tag on something like this...
 
Well since I'm getting the game for $40 at Best Buy (Price Match Toys R Us), I don't really care since it's only $4. That just means I paid $44 for it.
 
Its ironic a game takes years to make, and a DLC pack is released only weeks after.

So they want us to think they made this stuff after finishing the game? Im no fool thats for sure. But people will buy it anyway "because its cheap."
