Versus Mode Comes To Resident Evil 5

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-always-thought-you-looked-a-little-pale dept.

Resident Evil 5 will be getting a new multiplayer mode later today that allows players to square off against each other. It will be available on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live for a fee of $5. Two different game types will be available, according to Capcom. In one, Slayer's Rule, you'll compete against other players to kill the most enemies. The other mode, Survivor's Rule, pits you directly against other players, either one-on-one or two-on-two.

    RE5 is a cool game, but versus mode is just going to consist of players stationary seeing who can press the shoot button fastest (or less lagiest)

  2. $5 for a feature? by incognito84 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A feature that should've been included in the initial release? This is highway robbery. The micro-payment system is worthless if a game worth $40 ends up costing $65 in $5 denominations.

    We finally get a game where we can kill humans!

    I liked Resident Evil more when it was... Resident Evil. RE5 is more like Halo, UT, Quake, CoD, or (500 other games) by the second.

    The retarded thing is, in 5 more years when people are *only* making FPS... somebody is going to release a Survival Horror game that sells like hot cakes, and we'll see all the CEOs start chasing that pot o' gold...
