He kind of reminds me of the merchant from RE4 for some reason.

So awesome! They truly are going back to old school Resident Evil! <3

 

[riceandbeans]

Man, and I sold my RE5 not too long ago... sucks. There still might be a chance they'll release it with the Games on Demand PC, but even that's slim. Would've been nice if they released the DLC without the need for the disc like Liberty City Stories and Gay Tony. Has it been confirmed how long the new pieces of DLC are?

I've heard the mansion is only an hour but don't have a link to that source but I've heard that from alot of people in the know. That sounds fine as (going by the Japan pricing) it will be $5. So $5 for an hour of play plus trophies (?) sounds good to me. Have NO clue how long the other mission is though.

Fixed.

The second downloadable chapter will be 5 as well, so expect that both will add two to three hours of gameplay depending on your skills. They should also add new costumes, mercenaries content and whatnot, in addition to the costume packs.

That's not the old school RE I remember.

Not that I care, because the only old school RE worth remembering is REmake and RE2. :O

What old school Resident Evil was you playing :/

Im guessing he means the whole mansion scenario lol

And RE and RE:CV. So, most of them.

 

[Diablohead]

Unallowed to say old school until we see slow zombies who have hunger for brains by biting you.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So awesome! They truly are going back to old school Resident Evil! <3

There's nothing old school there, until we have fully explorable escenarios,block puzzles and zombies jumping from closets, and that's highly unlikely.

Classic RE is sooo dead.

Yeah. That dude looks like a generic monster. Nothing old-school about it.

 

[cvxfreak]

Indeed, that creature looks lame.

Gotta love the environments though. <3

FOr a creature design? 4 and 5 are mere shadows of the RE franchise.

 

[Rekki-Maru]

What's the official explanation? Did he eat a T-virus infected steak?

the official explanattion is that he redoubled his efforts when jill went missing.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Resi's creatures should look like theyve came out of a lab, not from the 1800's.

 

[How About No]

The monster looks like something out of DMC imo

 

[Erebus]

The monster looks like something out of DMC imo

First thing that came to my mind actually. The new creature bears a resemblance to the DMC puppets or whatever they're called.

i like the monster designs in 4.

 

[Replicant]

Thank God, it's DLC. I don't want to have to pay another full-priced game just to get the extra content.

 

[tass0]

Hell yeah. When is this due to come out?

I dont wanna buy RE5 again, is it coming as DLC?

 

[Philanthropist]

All content DLC coming late February, game rerelease early March.

 

[Draft]

Yeah, WTF. Regenerator by itself is a top 3 RE series monster.

Hunter
Licker
Regenerator

That's your top 3.

And for bosses, it's not even a contest. RE4's bosses buttfuck every other RE boss, repeatedly.

 

[gamergirly]

4 and (especially)5 are becoming more Silent Hill design and less Resident Evil. RE needs weird but worthy opponents, SH is the one that is supposed to have "teh truly freaky"

In terms of gameplay, absolutely, but visually I think William Birkin's gradual G-Type evolution is probably the best. Having his face slowly get absorbed into the body while another head grew out of his shoulder was delightfully creepy.

 

[Nemesis_]

Hell yeah. When is this due to come out?

 

[Teknoman]

Wait Episode 2? So there are supposed to be two additional senarios?

 

[Brazil]

Wait Episode 2? So there are supposed to be two additional senarios?

Yes.

I thought it was already settled that its name is "Desperate Escape".

Edit: Oh yeah. Here's my source.

 

[Notorious_Roy]

Do we know the price of the DLC? I guess it's going to be 800 MS Points

 

[Sinatar]

Any word on how big the packs are? If it's 10 bucks for an hour, forget that.

 

[-Winnie-]

Oh wow. I wonder if we can expect the PS3 motion controller around the same time...

 

[Luigiv]

No PC release?

 

[kuYuri]

No PC release?

No plans for release on PC.

 

[Luigiv]

No plans for release on PC.

That's a shame. Well no patronage from me then. I'm not double dipping for a little extra content (I didn't with RE4, and I have less reason to do so with RE5).

 

[Wark]

Yeah, WTF. Regenerator by itself is a top 3 RE series monster.

Hunter
Licker
Regenerator

That's your top 3.

The Regenerator is my favorite monster of the newer Resident Evil games. They're definitely up there on my top monster lists in Resident Evil -- or maybe any horror game for that matter. They're is just something so creepy about them.

[/url]

Also, it'd be nice if Jill gets her RE1 or RE3 hair / outfit as an alternate outfit. I'd love it.

 

[Philanthropist]

4.99 each downloadable episode, as posted earlier in this thread. They should add about two hours of gameplay each.

Hmm. Sold RE5 on the PS3 a few months ago after completing it to death.

But the new expansion packs are definitely tempting. I think I'll have to rebuy.

 

[WickedCobra03]

Hell yeah, 3/9 with the PS3 version for me! I can't wait. I actually held off on picking up RE5 cause I played a bit with a friend, then heard about DLC stuff and I kind of figured we would be getting a GotY edition or whatever...

 

[DeadGzuz]

"download token"? HTF are you supposed to trade or re-sell your game? They should include a second disc, DVD FTL...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

The trailer for the flashback episode looks a lot like RE4, which pretty much means I'm sold.

As for the other one... eh. We'll see. I'm not really craving any more action in the RE5 setting.

 

[Diablohead]

"download token"? HTF are you supposed to trade or re-sell your game? They should include a second disc, DVD FTL...

Problem with 2nd disc is that you can lend it to a friend to install, oblivion and fallout 3 are prime examples here.

This is one of those times where I hate having dvd for the 360 game media, and a 20gig hdd :/

Still waiting for Capcom to surprise us and say it's coming to pc as DLC also, then I will buy RE5 again.

I miss the Regenerator....and that creepy music that goes along with it
