Resident Evil 5 DLC adds new online multiplayer modes

is that Angels singing a godly verse I hear? That must be! This is sent straight from heaven!

wow if this is free im def buying the game slayers and versus sounds so fun if not just gonna be a rental

A possible reason why it's DLC (hopefully free) is that it couldn't fit onto a certain DVD-9 that one of the consoles supports...

Outside of the money-grubbing aspect of it all. I'm just saying, it's a possibility.

Awesome, who can reach someone first, stand still the longest and shoot someone the most!

How does this work with 2 people? hmm unless this means they will add more??? atleast 8 people would work...

Peanut's voice:Me don't like MP mode in my Survival Horror game.

Oh please let the MP mode be something like Left 4 Dead or Gears of War Horde mode.I couldn't stand the Wingman matches in Gw2.

man im sick of hearing people complain about the controls.the controls are just fine and there aint nothing awrong with the way he cant move while shooting.resident evils always been like that.this is a game.part of playing a game is adapting to the controls.you dont just get into a car and drive it away.first you have to learn to drive.

this dlc seems cool.its good to know theyll be working on this even after release.it would be nice to be free but lets put it this way,all capcom have to give us is a single player campaign for that 60 euroes we pay.they didnt have to include merceneries but they did.this dlc is welcome with a price tag on it

The controls ARE fine but how would the game work as multiplayer agaisnt real players?? The outbreak series worked but of course it did, it was just the same resident evil game with more players.

Team killing on Resident Evil erm...the only way i can think it would work is by incoporating the cover system from the latter parts of the game and well isnt it then just a very slow gears. im suprised if it can even work

Found this post in gamefaq boards, someone has the official guide they say has details on the new content ( which seems odd thing to put into a guide)



Slayer: Plays very similar to Mercenaries, but with players competing against each other to get the highest score from kill infected souls and B.O.Ws. A handicap system helps the player with the lowest points by doubling the amount of points they are awarded (though this doesn't apply to combo bonuses). Time Bonus and Combo Bonus rules apply as before, with enemy types and item locations remaining the same (as in Mercenaries).

If any player dies during a game, they lose points and will reappear elsewhere on the map to carry on playing (note: you may sometimes spawn in the heat of a battle, or next to a boss). There is no limit to the amount of times you can die, though you shouldn't expect much of a score if you do too often. Most players will encounter enemies on difficulty grade level 6 (Normal/Veteran), but the leading player must battle enemies on Grade level 10 (Pro level).

There is a lot more, but it's involving statistics, and bonuses. Essentially, a Versus Mercenary mode.

Survivors:

This game variant is all about Player VS Player action. There are still aggressive creatures present, making the arenas more challenging, but their frequency has been reduced. Combos no longer play a role, as the points you score are directly received from dealing damage to other players. There are no points for killing monsters. You must also strive from taking any damage from the monsters yourself.

Each player starts with just a basic firearm, with powerful weapons littered about the arena. Every map has different combinations of weapons, and you may wish to acquire weapons from bosses by killing them.

Rest is statistics. Essentially a versus Mercenary mode, but with points coming from directly harming other players themselves.

There are team versions of these modes, pitting 2V2 action. So, obvious what they are.

Mother

"Let's Get This Party Started!"
"Unlock all selectable characters in Versus."

Hmm, wonder who would be selectable apart from Chris and Sheva.

Can't wait for this game ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I'm excited, can't imagine what exactly what they are up to. How would Versus be different than Slayer? How would a deathmatch even work, both people just stand in the open, whoever gets headshots first wins...

Survival I'm sure will be fun.

I love L4D to death, so if they can bring that kind of tension to the game, I'm all for it.

Will be playing this game through many times, I'm sure.

Dude thats pretty cool .. I Hope they do a patch for the controls as well

Player a stands still and shoots player b, b shoots c, c shoots d, d shoots e, e shoots f, f shoots g, player a respawns and shoots f, player b respawns and shoots player a, player c respawns ...

Awesome.

there is no patch for the controls because there is nothing broken with the controls.....

i cant wait for this DLC, i read yesterday about what the modes were but i cant remember, its not completely out in the open yet but its not what you think.

im up to chapter 3-1 and so far this is everything ive come to expect in a RE game, i love it.

Sweet!

omg omg omg!!!!!!!!!!! lol caint wait o and gamestop is holding this thing were if u trade in 2 ps3 or wii or Xbox 360 games u can get RE5 for 20 bucks!!!! i got the email so its no lie. o and the online play i really hope the DLC will alow up to 4 players ya know lol That would b the EPICNESS XD

this is gonna be awesome i hope its FDC

So what they're saying is that they could have included this on the disc, but would rather charge you for it?

SWEET

yeahh free online

If this isn't free, my respect for Capcom may be down by quite a stretch.

Fact is if they will charge, they know it will work, because although a lot of people here are now wise to the fact that DLC is diminishing the quality of modern gaming, there are a lot who will not be wise, and after a play through of Resident Evil 5, will say "I wish there were some multiplayer modes". Then with the DLC they'll think it's like a message from the heavens and buy it, not taking into account how much money they've wasted.

For me, personally, I shall be renting the game for now, and if they release the DLC for free, I may end up buying myself a copy, however if they don't, then I guess Capcom shall just have to hope that Resident Evil 5 will have nostalgia values so that I'll eventually end up buying it anyway.

This DLC will make RE5 my all-time favorite game. It would make the game last forever for me.

I just had the 1.02 patch forcibly installed when I loaded RE5 (no option to skip). That is what adds the extra trophies. What a load of shit. I just hope you get the Platinum trophy for getting the trophies that it shipped with. If it's truly paid DLC then the trophies should have been added then. Seriously, I had one more freakin trophy (from the original 50) to get and then I was done. Now I have to fuck around online to get the rest?

Mercenaries Achievements and Trophies, please and thank you.

i'm sure that most of those trophies we're on the list before the update and why not add a few extras to the download like more maps for mercenaries and diffrent maps to the ones we already have in mercenarie mode because it does look like someone just thought i know of an extra way to make a bit of money ? add a section of multiplayer as downloadable content and no one will suspect. they could have also added extra characters to add a bit of variety but hey prehaps that will be like another way to get some more money ?. hey and why not add the shooting gallery mode i liked that you could charge for that as well .

I just verified that as long as you get the original 50 something trophies, you will get the Platinum. I'm not sure if that will be true if you only started the game after the 1.02 update or once the actual DLC content is out. But whatever. I got my Platinum trophy and that's all that matters to me :)

if its collectors addition... does it have that card thing with Chris and Sheva on it?
or is it just the Black disk?....Idk just help me out here O.-

some of those damn extra trophies are take some time

I just bought the RE5 Versus DLC and must say that it was less than 2mb in size. This is obviously a total ripoff and should have been included in the full game. Just another way to pump more money out of us.

i'll buy my own trophies at www.crownawards.com before i give capcom my hard earned money for this
