These new Resident Evil 5 costumes are not a win-win

by Justin McElroy on Jul 21st 2009 3:20PM

No, that's not a screen from Joystiq Publishing's upcoming actioner, Vanessa and The Bear ("Half Accounts Receivable Temp, Half Sadomasochist, All Hero!") It's actually a pair of the new costumes you'll able to get if you pick up the upcoming Resident Evil 5 PC release.

We've just got one question: Who, exactly, did Chris piss off so bad that they're dressing him like the lovechild of Don Johnson and The Gimp?

Why does this screen remind me of Fallout 3?

There are so many reasons, it feels like they did it on purpose:

Chris's costume looks like a raider. The barren floor with makeshift architecture. A sickly greenish tint to the whole image. Blood in the air is like VATS. Sheva's costume is out of place and formal, like the pre-war clothing.

I whole heartily agree!

I thought Chris was dressed like the random hoodlums from Fist of the North Star.

fallout 3 raider costume?

Try using VATS on him.

For the PC? As if they won't mod better costumes anyways

In 3-D? In 3-D??!???

Btw, old news is old, Justin...

The bad thing is you need to purchase a 120hz 3D Compatible monitor as well as the Nvidia 3D glasses. There's a setup at my local Microcenter but it doesn't work, I want to see if its really cool or not.

Still nice of Capcom to give PC gamers this option, I love how the PC is such a flexible platform!

NVIDIA has a 3D Vision Discover system that lets you play in 3D with regular 3D glasses. Obviously the effect won't be as good, but it'll probably cost you next to nothing.

WTF!?!

Great, now I have to see Chris' arms WITHOUT any damn clothes!!

WTF MAN!!

No mere cloth can contain the ultimate power that is Chris Redfield's biceps.

It's almost like they are suggesting all PC gamers are either gay or pedophiles.

That was so dumb...

Nah, we're still just a bunch of elitist, prick, pirating assholes not worth the time and trouble for developers. : /

How is a bear and a schoolgirl outfit not indicative of what I said?

that's not a schoolgirl outfit, not by a long shot.

Not a schoolgirl outfit. More like a business woman's suit.

That's very much a private school-girl type outfit.

It's also not even close to being a bear outfit. For one thing, Chris isn't nearly hairy enough, and bears don't really need outfits to be bears.

Leather not close to being a bear outfit? really?

Bears tend to be hairy, that is why they are called Bears. Chris is not one.

Also, this thread is really stupid.

I'm slightly turned on right now.

I really hope you are talking about Sheva.....

Is that office costume for Sheva in the console versions? Hell, I'll just wait for the bikini mods like in the PC version of RE4. : P

@ Nerdy Desi

Sheva already has a bikini costume... unless you're waiting for a bikini for Chris, in which case, you're on your own...

that's to back up what letters said.

sheva looks nice, but chris is terrible. wish they would give him a pinstripe gangster suit with fedora.

Chris looks hot !!

Rather see him in clothes though...

That's just bad on too many levels.

Sheva is looking good, as usual... I figured the new costumes would be the ones Capcom asked for ideas on a few months back, most of which included ideas based on Capcom franchises. Never did I see "Slave Master" or "Office Girl" suggested. Wonder if we'll see these released as DLC on the consoles- alnog with whatever suggestions they actually used from that thread. I'd love to hear something on that front- I keep wanting to pop RE5 in again, but then I think I'd better wait for the new costumes... where are they, Capcom?
