This is good. I actually enjoyed Resident Evil 5 quite a bit. I've never played Dead Rising 2 - I was tempted to buy it during the last Steam Christmas sale, but held off because of GFWL.

My street fighter save was still good, sans achievements.

Finally! RE5 dlc please!
Looking forward to finally grabbing Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record. I hope Lost Planet games get sorted out. Also would be nice to see Rockstar sort out GTAIV; that said they are doing work on San Andreas of all things, and before it's beta got password protected, seems they finally got triggers to work, so who knows what the future holds!

Yes! Fucking Yes! Please add the Gold Edition content aswell! I'll buy it five times if it's necessary.
Hurray, at long last. That scrap stutter bug renders the game intolerable. Hopefully it's not too far off.
Might as well, they can charge for it to pay for the patches.

They would have to be dumb to not take the opportunity to put in the Gold Edition DLC, right?

Lots of people wanted nothing to do with GFWL. It was pretty rubbish and a huge pain in the butt to use for online play, at least in my experience.
Reminder that this is Capcpcom.
It means that I will actually put money down for Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. Full price. I don't want to deal with GFWL any more.
Either way, a PC version of Dragon's Dogma would be lovely.

I don't think you got what they announced here. Not rereleases. They said that their released games wouldn't be tied to a dying software platform any longer and would be future-proofed by this steamworks transfer. This is not some random rerelease.
So this. Some of the DLC was better than the main game.

Great news. If only I could get the RE5 Gold Edition DLC on PC too.

Crazy hate for GFWL. I didn't like it either.
This also means there might me a chance they add the Gold DLC to RE5.
I take both. They can keep supporting their existing titles and bring new ones aswell.
Boo. Get out.

I would be happy about this, but Codemasters said they'd do this to Dirt 3 back in January and that shit is still there. Not gonna count my chickens.

Amazing News. It kind of makes sense for them to do it for Resident Evil 5, since every other Resident Evil game on Steam uses Steamworks.
I'm very pleased that Dead Rising 2 is also making the jump. I've always been worried that we'd lose the cooperative mode when GFWL died. And cooperative Dead Rising 2 is a billion times more fun...and Dead Rising 2 is pretty goddamn fun on its own.

At least Capcom's had some experience in converting from GFWL to Steamworks with Ultra SFIV. Hopefully things will go smoother as a result.
The fact that it took Capcom this long to make a statement about it gives me hope.

I'll pick up Off the Record probably. I like games that have photography in them.
Thanks Capcom.

Nice. Gotta remember to transfer my RE5/OTR saves.

They could just patch the game for that.
Edit: What I meant to say was they could have just patched the game ages ago for that. Same with whoever developed RE4's horrendous initial release.

Currently you cannot use any of the online features in these games. As of about two or three months ago when GFWL's servers were shut down. So a sizable chunk of these games aren't working at all right now.

i don't think that's correct, gfwl servers should still be up
people were just waiting for GFWL to be removed from the games

I don't have any GFWL games installed right now so I cannot check but I'm pretty sure GFWL is still accessible. A couple of months ago there was an announcement that they would keep the servers online for the time being and I haven't heard of them shutting it down since.
I really really really hope they port over Gold Edition content alongside this, but I'm guessing that might be hoping for too much.
GFWL servers are still working. I booted up RE5 some days ago and it worked fine.

I'm hoping RE5 is gold edition.
I'd rather remain optimistic because of the Resi 4 HD treatment. If they can revamp that game to Ultimate status, then 2 DLC chapters shouldn't be too much of a hassle for them. It'd really be the perfect icing on an already tasty cake.
I doubt they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart.
Been waiting to play RE5 and OTR after the GFWL removal!
Dark Souls still on top of the hit list.
Lost Planet EC- Steamworks
Lost Planet EC Colonies- GFWL
I'd imagine Capcom will just remove Colonies from the store at one point.

Awesome, now give us Dead Rising 1 for PC (still probably my favourite in the series, at the least its tied with OTR)

I already have dead rising 2 on steam. So I am assuming when I install I won't have to deal with gfwl right?
Post-patch, yes.

My immediate thought lol.
I honestly have lost hope on the Gold Edition stuff. Maybe if they ever announce a port to the new consoles.
I actually played through all of RE5 recently using GFWL. Some Mercenaries too, but people don't want to deal with my scruby ass lol.
How does this work?

If they release the Gold Edition content as purchasable DLC I would be totally fine with it.
Now that makes me wonder: How does Capcom make money of the Steamworks transition? Porting the missing DLC and doing a "Yay, GFWL dead"-Sale would be a way I imagine.

You know what would be nice? If they got off their asses and ported the Gold content to RE5 PC.

Hopefully it won't be necessary.
My SSF4 Arcade save-date transferred over from GFWL to Steam and I didn't have to do anything.
