Resident Evil 5 DLC adds new online multiplayer modes

by Andrew Yoon on Mar 10th 2009 11:22PM

PS3 owners of Resident Evil 5 will find a special surprise waiting for them when comparing their Trophy info with friends. Capcom has (accidentally?) revealed information about the game's upcoming DLC through newly uploaded Trophies. The DLC appears to introduce a number of new online modes: Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, Team Survivors and Versus. It's not exactly clear what these modes entail, but they appear to be competitive modes. "Team Survivors" gives us hope that Capcom is working on a co-operative mode inspired by ~~Resident Evil Outbreak~~ Left 4 Dead.

See the new Trophies after the break.

Silver Trophies
	The Team That Slays Together... Win 30 matches in Team Slayers.
	We Will Survive Win 30 matches in Team Survivors.
	Bringing the Pain Defeat 100 players using physical attacks in Versus.
Bronze Trophies
	Army of One Win 30 matches in Slayers.
	Eye of the Tiger Win 30 matches in Survivors.
	Keep the Good Times Rolling Chain a 20-defeated combo in Slayers.
	It Takes Two to Tango Chain a 40-defeated combo in Team Slayers.
	It's All About the Points Score at least 40,000 points in Survivors.
	There's no "I" in Team Score at least 80,000 points in Team Survivors.
	Let's Get This Party Started! Unlock all selectable characters in Versus.

Is this free DLC?

Does this mean there's going to be *gasp*

...a PATCH for controls?! HOLY SHIT!!!

The names of these modes don't make any sense with the control control scheme, that's all I'm saying.

*snort* This is Capcom, are you kidding me?
You'll be paying out your ass for this shit.

that' what i wanna know

It sucks, but $5 is hardly paying out the ass. Back in the day, Capcom would update your catridge and charge you another $60 for it (Street Fighter II). Hell, Final Fight Guy didn't even make Final Fight arcade perfect.

THIS BETTER BE FOR THE 360 AS WELL!!!!!!

It will be, I read it somewhere earlier this morning.

i dont see why he was downvoted im a huge ps3 fan and only play ps3 but seriously he just wants it for 360 who cares why downvote him

I think his Caps Lock button is stuck

@DiggyStyle: Its okay he just needs some training.

You'd think that if they were working on something like this they might want to, you know, promote it some. I've been on the fence to buy this game for a while now and added multiplayer outside just campaign co-op is really appealing.

Also: Would team slayer imply more than just two players at once (you'd have to have at least two teams of two, right?)

Hey shouldn't these online multiplayer modes been shipped with the games?!?!?!?!?!?! Capcom....I'm starting to dislike you now...

Only now?
What about all those costumes that are available for ridiculous amounts of money for the fighting games, those things were free and unlockable ingame a year or two ago.

But having multiplayer modes ripped out of the game and sold seperately is a step too fucking far! A pox on you Capcom, you wallet-raping facists.

Capcom is raping my wallet even if I'm not buying this, I'm not even interested in it, and I feel like I got my $60 worth.

Online MP? With those controls? Scary...

BTW Im still gonna rent this so I was just wondering what were the best control options out there for it? Default?

Yes default and inverted

Not inverted, you fool.

Wait, doesn't Chris play shooters inverted?

heh, Chris.

heh.

Holy crap that's cool.

Heck yeahhhh. This seems like it will be greatest game of all time for me.

This...is...huge.

This better be free DLC. I mean, the game hasn't even dropped yet for North America and they're already near 'announcing' the content.

So why wouldn't said content be on the disc I already paid full price for? The online component for Mercenaries has already been active through an update with no additional charge so why should these updates be any different?

Uh maybe because announcing is slightly different to having the said announced content finished or even started on.

If their is a corresponding Trophy for the DLC game types listed under the Trophies tab, doesn't that imply that the content is already finished?

Maybe I'm wrong but you need to have the content completed before you code for the Trophies. Otherwise it would be kind of inefficient?

It wont be free because then they wouldnt make as much money, you silly goose!!
And lets face it, most of us will whine and say "why am I paying for this when I already spent $70.00 on this game!" ,but we will be buy it because we cant resist

I hope this is ONLY for the PS3. I really hope it's a free DLC as well. PLEASE CAPCOM PLEASE!!!!

no need to be greedy. there is absolutely no point to wishing that DLC is ps3 only. It helps you NONE.

grow up. quit being a fanboy.

disclaimer: yes i own a 360, but my roommate has a ps3 that i play daily, i love both systems.

Why only for the PS3? What's the benefit to you? The ability to point and laugh at Xbox 360 users? Really? Isn't that it?

With all due respect, shut up. They're video games for crying out loud.

Agreed, it's not like it being on PS3 only is gonna do something for you... I hope this is true as I have just decided to get RE4 at launch seeing as Sacred 2 keeps gettin delayed.

I mean RE5 :P

As someone who only owns a PS3 (and gaming PC), if you think only the PS3 should get it you'#re an ass.

Share the love.

people say share now but when we're reminded that ms worked out something with capcom for something exclusive the tone will revert

Aw man... I want to get the 360 one because I prefer the graphics in that one over the PS3's. But, if this DLC costs money like it probably will, then it will be 80% cheaper to buy that DLC on the PS3 due to PSN letting you share DLC with 4 other people (see cheapassgamer.com forums).

Quite a conundrum...

Not only that but the PSN uses real money instead of mickey mouse points so you don't over-purchase points to buy something cheaper.

It better be free. I hate when companies whip up DLC before the official release and then sell it at or near launch. Should be illegal.

If you were to go to a car dealership and they sold you a car but then after the purchase you realized that you could only get the engine from that location for an additional fee, wouldn't you stop/cancel future purchases at that dealership?

The problem is that we gamers only have two options: Stop supporting this kind of behavior by withholding our money or buy it anyway. There really isn't any alternative to try and stop the practice of 'immoral' DLC.

Companies know that there are plenty of people that WILL pay for the content regardless (due to the fact that a large percentage of current consumers are from the age of 12-17, who also could care less).

Wow, that may be the worst analogy ever. They're not holding back a key that prevents the game from spinning in your disc tray or anything like withholding the engine from a car would be.

A more apt analogy would be if a car dealership told you the price of the car and then at the last minute told you you had the option to buy a bunch of "extra" stuff like floor mats, aluminum kick plates, extended warranties, cargo nets, etc. Which of course, is exactly what they do.

Not that I'm in any way trying to condone the action here, but I'm near positive this DLC for RE5 will be free. Pay DLC is typically costumes, weapons, extra missions, etc. Entire multiplayer modes are typically released as free patches.

I thought they were just announcing it, to be sold when they'd actually finished... not that you would be able to buy the content on release.

If the above Trophies are already found under the Trophy tab in the XMB then that implies the content has already been completed (maybe waiting for NA release date or finalization).

Depends on the developer.

Fallout DLC is actually neat or when is just for the kicks like in Dead Space.I would like to mention Fable II but the story mode was too short by the end and being extremly skeptical I'll blame the DLC for that.

Stuff like Crackdown DLC that is stuff already inside the game certainly is not neat.Or stuff like map packs with only 3 friggin maps,I'm looking at you Bungie / Epic (More Bungie than Epic,at least some maps were free in Gears of War).

If SF4 is anything to go by, this won't be free.

If this stuff ends up having a price tag on it, I implore you guys to try your hardest not to invest in it.

Hold on a second. They've already developed (or some of) the DLC for RE5 and it isn't coming with the game that we are purchasing? They better hope it's free, because if I recall correctly, many developers said DLC wouldn't be taking substance away from games on release, i.e. stripped from the retail copy, only to be charged separately thereafter.

I'm with you but here's your mistake:

"Many developers" isn't every single developer. Also, they haven't contractually agreed to anything so they can say whatever they want and change their mind down the road if they so desire.

I tell you now if this DLC has a price, I'm not supporting it, especially when this crap is going to make my Trophy profile look like I haven't achieved 100% for the game.

DLC can be the worst or best thing that's happened to gaming. It's all up to the developers and it looks like Criterion has done it right as well as a handful of other studios. However, whore developers like Rockstar and Bethesda (level 20 cap removed with future DLC expansions and exclusive DLC, wtf) are giving DLC a bad name.

Yeah...Bethesda. I really like Fallout 3 but the DLC, including the one that effectively changes the fundamental ending for the game, it's inexcusable.

Somebody should be stringing up Todd Howard or whoever's responsible for making the game that way to be hung by their balls. That's not a game. That's opportunism.

If this has a price tag, I would not even buy the game (if I was planning on it). I mean US $65 (+-tax) is a large amount to throw down for a game that they are going to end up charging $5-10 to make it complete... especially only a week after the game launches.
Not to mention playing the demo was like a chore to me more than fun...

I really cannot see what is so great about this game.

I dont get it...are companies holding back content now? The game isn't even out yet...

See Crackdown and Fable II.

At least this should be free for the guys with Collectors edition.

I don't know about this content specifically, but the idea that all DLC is stuff held back from the game is silly.

Games have to be done and put on shelves sometime. A developer probably doesn't finish a game, not touch it for months, then come back and say, "Okay, time to make some DLC." They have to be working on some of the DLC during development of the actual game. And they have to put a limit to what they'll put on the disc so they can actually make whatever deadlines they have. If you had them hold the game until all extra content was done, the game would never come out.

"And they have to put a limit to what they'll put on the disc"

Unless you're talking about MGS4 or Killzone 2, space really isn't an issue. At least for the PS3. Maybe the 360 games have (or will have) trouble with this.
