Well said, well said. Not sure if it is fact, but well said. 400 Points is not much at all. It is a MODE that could have been included, but was possibly worked on AFTER RE5 was complete.

RE5 multiplayer VS in 1996? NEVER EVER crossed our minds, but I did always want a 4 Player co-op with people in the ORIGINAL game in a HUGE map all over the house with ‘communicators’ that literally ‘went out’ and came bakc online (outside of Party Chat) for that realistic play.

Now as for VERSUS, it is an awesome extra at 400 points. RE5 is not perfect, but with the right co-op partner the co-op part is awesome to play over and over and over again.

@Shonk
Hmm, that bites, you’re missing out on a great experience – not exactly like Crackdown or Halo 3 co-op, but a Resident Evil (a tad, quite a tad watered down from RE4) experience you really should rent or gamefly it and play it through AT LEAST once co-op with your friend. At least up to level 3-1. Most of my friends who rented it said exactly what you said until the played 3-1 and they all went and bought it. I have one friend who thinks IGN is the freaking bible of game reviews, he bought it and is scared to open it (wants max trade-in value and didn’t like the less than 9 reviews – all the while playing Wheelman). IF DLC was not in place, this blog would not exist. Give RE5 a fair chance – forget about the DLC for a moment as The Mercenaries Mode will keep you busy long after you’ve completed the game – well AFTER you unlock it.

Since it seems that the RE5 fanboys and people who say that its only $5 will by this without question, I’m sure this will end up selling really well. its obvious that Capcom and other developers don’t care about the complaints

I have a feeling that this is probably going to be something that is done by more companies in the future. The next Gears or Call of Duty will require you to pay 400 to 800 points in order to unlock the multiplayer modes that are all ready on the disk.

I’ve seen some videos of the slayers game type. I have to say it doesnt look very fun at all. Also, I hear the different characters are very unbalanced. Pass.

I was gonna get it, but now that I am done with the game I think I will pass. The price is not a problem, just the timing.

I hope this doesn’t sell well, not well at all. This sort of thing needs to be looked down upon. And don’t give me that crap about ‘5 dollars isnt that much, get a job blah blah’. With that logic I could be like ‘Wanna buy this rock for a dollar? It’s only a dollar.”

Don’t support capcom and their ridiculous DLC.

1.86MB Download… Paying for what you already paid… What a sad future for gaming. Let’s shell out our money for partially complete games!

I was going to pick RE5 up this weekend but after finding out that the DLC is actually on the disk, and we are paying to unlock it, I think I will show my disapproval and not buy the game at all.

Just read on Kotaku that this content was already on the goddamned disc. 400 Points for something already in the game? The file is 1.9 MB IN SIZE. Don’t BS me and say it’s not on the disc already.

@ Vasilii Zaytsev: That Kotaku article is just as much rumor as the IGN article. While we’ll never really know the definitive answer unless someone with Capcom comes out with it, it’s pretty safe to say that if the download was just an unlock key, the download would have been a LOT smaller.

I’ll wait until a official reply from Capcom (In which they will say it wasn’t on the disc), until I make a judgment, but this does look extremely sketchy.

Well, I rented RE5 and beat it, then I returned it and don’t have any desire to play it again, so it doesn’t matter much to me.

However, if this is in fact on the disc and that is determined as fact, I seriously doubt I will be playing any Capcom games anymore.
