The latest issue of Famitsu reveals (via IGN) that two of the series' classic characters are coming to Mercenaries Reunion in Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition: Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers. Both characters made their first appearance in the original Resident Evil game, but haven't exactly been strangers to the series ever since.
Rebecca co-starred in Resident Evil Zero, while Barry enjoyed an extended role in REmake and was Leon's sidekick in Resident Evil Gaiden, the Game Boy Color game. Barry also played a pivotal role in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
Frankly, we're all for bringing these two back, but only if we get oddly apologetic Rebecca and soft-spoken Barry.

no sh*t sherlock
of course ff13 will outsell re5 gold
because re5 is already out and only the people who waited till the goty/gold edition will pick it up (along with the hardcor re fan's)
while no one in NA and europe have brought ff13 yet have they so of course ff13 will outsell any game in march
just like splinter cell conviction will probably outsell most game's in april

The original Resident Evil still my fav.
The dining room of the mansion had never look better. Just so many memories, check the the scan below to see for yourself. Even though RE 4 and 5 didn't turn out to what I was hoping for, but I'll get the RE5 Gold Edition because I'm a RE fan/collector.

They should have done this first instead of adding a lot of costumes for Chris and Sheva in the Mercenaries Reunion, now i can call it a reunion for real, but still they can add more fan favorite characters.

You know, one great thing about Resident Evil(the original), it started the survival horror series with laughter
Gotta love the acting/voice acting in it.
The DLC is looking nice though.

Nice to See Barry Back.
I would take him over Hunk any day.
Don't care much for Rebecca though, they could have put a better character there.
They need to make a Mercs Game either a download or Retail game that has like every single RE character and such. Which multiple levels and game modes as well as MP.
That shit would be killer especially if it was at a reduced price to if it was Disc only

They're making the 360 Gold Edition come with a token for the DLC when PS3 has it all on a disc. That's bullshit- at least do what Bethesda did with Fallout 3 GOTY edition and have all 5 DLCs on a separate disc. Just because of that, I'm not buying it.

I like seeing old people coming back, but I hate Mercenaries. I wasn't gonna buy Gold edition anyway, tho. I might get the 2 DLC packs, depending on their length.
