RE5 goes versus mode... for $5! :(

http://www.capcom-unity.com/s-kill/blog/2009/03/12/resident_evil_goes_versus_

"Versus Mode" is bringing a whole new flavor of Resident Evil to RE5 via DLC.

It's got two gametypes--"Slayer's Rule" (and Majini drool?), and "Survivor's Rule." "Slayer's Rule" is a shooting gallery of Majini killification, where the most ruthlessly efficient killing machine racks up the top score to win. "Survivor's Rule" involves the phsyical challenge of not getting capped by another live human. You can play one-on-one or two-vs-two, using a variety of characters from the game.

Versus mode will be available a few weeks after tomorrow's launch for 400 MS Points on XBL, and $4.99 for PSN. That means just as you've had a chance toget your fill of RE5 co-op with friends, Versus arrives to remind you what friends are really for: shooting at.

*sigh* Now companies are going to charge players for multiplayer? Is anyone else sickened by this? It's not just that they're charging for multiplayer, but to announce something like this coming out just "a few weeks"of the game beingreleased... it's just shady.

Most DLC is fine. Charging for a completely new component to a game so close to launch is kinda obvious they're milking.

Yeah DLC has become a new means of ripping people off, well I wont be getting it. Its a shame that among actual worthwhile DLC comes cash ins like this and the alternate costumes in SFIV. Funny both from Capcom. Sepewrath

I wont buy it because it's an obvious way they've gone about intentionally leaving it out so they could charge extra for it. That's BS! This is one of the reasons I hate 360 because MS charges for everything. I wont buy into this kind of money milking business practices.

multiplayer vs is part of a game and to make it seperate is obvious $$$ milking of gamers.

LOL, who they hell is going to want to play a deathmatch game that you can't move in?? Capcom, you are funny!

pretty soon we will have to start paying for the final episode/level in a game. Want to know how this ends?!?! Buy the last level for only 5 more dollars. This is a bad sign and I will be boycotting that for sure.shawtty024

I remember some game company saying they want to include a special key that comes with a game to allow you to play all the way through. You can only use the code once and then its dead. Meaning if you buy the game used you won't get the full game and will have to pay to buy the key on xbl and psn.

It's sad to see companies releasing $$$ DLC within weeks of launching the title. At this rate, the PS4 is going to have a coin/dollar slot and you'll have to pay $1 per hour of use.

that is dumb...that isn't dlc, thats supposed to be part of the game that ships day one

that realy sucks, im not getting re5 anyway (not soon) but hearing this makes me mad, its a cheap way to earn more money, but still people will buy this addition to there game once they finished the single player

I wouldnt go praising Epic.

The Gears of War 2 "free maps" were essentially the same thing. A way of making the resale value lowered and a way of sticking it to your customers. You know those maps were included on the original dvd. You had to punch in a code to unlock them.

Im tired of these companies.

I for one wont be buying RE5 now. I'll rent it. Beat it. And thats it.

It's Capcom, what do you expect?

The sad part is, there's some naive people out in the gaming world that will actually buy this.

This Really sucks, I for one have been looking fowards to a RE5 as soon as I finished playing RE4 a few years ago. Now they come up with this CRAP. of charging for content that should be free.

I think at the most Il lprobably just rent this game, or worse yet just borrow it from a friend....

capcom, could go to hell now if their thinking of milking me.

It's completely asinine. Obviously Capcom has had this planned from the beginning.

Why should we pay to stand there and shoot someone when we can get fast-paced online play like in Killzone 2 for no extra charge?

WHAT? itll just be draw all the time.. i mean, you cant move.. if you ever shoot as someone theyll instantly turn to you and shoot at you, too. so its whoever starts shooting first or aims for the head, i guess.. escapeoftheape

That's exactly what i was thinking. You can't move when shooting, so when you come across somebody, it all comes down to who has the better weapon/quickest aim turning it into a quickdraw game. Thiskind ofversus wouldn;t work too well imo.

On the other hand, the target practice mode would work fine. They should have just put in a survival mode where each player has to survive against waves of enemies until the lastman standing.

RE5 is like putting a fresh coat of paint on a rotten old house anyway.

Capcom can stuff their overcharging fro everything right up their you-know-what.

while this a complete ripoff, and it makes me mad, i will probably buy it, but just because it's only $5. If it was more than that i would definitely not buy it!

Wow Capcom is offically the worst company when it comes to DLC. They are laughably bad at this point. There is zero chance in hell that I'll be getting this BS.

Whats next charging for harder gameplay modes? Oh wait...

wow... its only 5 bucks.Sk8ter_213

I've got an idea .. don't buy it ..

:lol: What?

It's DLC .. you still get to play the actual game .. stop being a baby ..

New proposal from game developers:

They're gonna start charging you $5 to use the start button to pause the game pretty soon if people don't act out. Yeah, most gamers don't pause the game anyways right? Give me a break.

DLC is progress? Not when you use it like that!

isn't ubisoft already doing this with Prince of Persia. you have to pay for the add-on content to find out the "real" ending? i hear the conent is supposed to be really good and you can actually die now...but still
