The only reason I haven't picked up RE5 PC was the lack of the Gold Edition features. I'm guessing this also means RE.net integration as well?

Would depend. RE4 ultimate didn't add integration.

Please, please, please let this be true. A dream come true.
RE5 DLC is some of my favorite DLC of all time, and it being on PC... oh, god. YES.

They said a while ago we'd get the Steamwork version of RE5 this year. Hopefully this is a sign it'll be soon.
Started at the bottom (original RE4 PC lol) and now we here.
Bonus would be giving it to previous/GfWL owners.
Fantabulous move if you did that Capcom. I'd be Barry Sandwhiching people all day.
We don't know yet. If it's like how a number of games (though certainly not all) have handled the GFWL->Steamworks transition, it may be offered for free to everyone who already owns RE5 on Steam.
Good, Lost in Nightmare is something everyone need to experience if they like RE5, it's awesome. Now port Dragon's Dogma, please Capcom for god's sake! D:
Not that I'm port begging because I can't play, I have a it on PS3, being on PC could make the experience so, so, so much better. Is this kind of port begging kinda legit?

Do you guys think they will bother with Case Zero/West alongside DR2? Would be nice.

Aw yeah. Been hoping for RE5 DLC on PC for a long time. Don't fail me now, Capcom.

That would be the right thing to do but I have my doubts because it's Capcom that we're talking about here.
They will not hesitate to cash-in on old content that should have been released years ago.
Yeah, a lot of publishers had a "be grateful you're getting it on PC at all" attitude. Late ports and late (or absent) DLC were pretty much par for the course.
This is all if the game even got a PC version in the first place.
I am literally close to crying tears of joy!!! I have been campaigning for the Gold Edition to come to PC for fucking AGES!!!!!!!!(see my activity on th Capcom forums). If this is true then God help me, because I already have over 900hrs of playtime in regular RE5 PC Mercenaries, and fear I may end up pumping 10x that amount into Mercs Reunion!
Oh shit this is just BONKERS NEWS!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you're referring to mods then no, it did not. The deathmatch/survivors stuff was part of the Reunion DLC.
What I'm excited for is this will make it easier to integrate the already existing 4-player Mercs mod into the Reuinion stuff, giving everyone more of a seamless, less glitchy experience.
Oh and WHERE THE FUCK IS SECTUS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Well, they announced last year that it would be dropping GFWL and going Steamworks, so they must be planning to add this alongside it.
This is great news. When they announced a Steamworks patch last year, the extra content was on the table again and thankfully you guys mentioned it a lot over on the Capcom forums.

Fuck yes.
Could be comparable to a Bioshock 2 situation, where current owners get the Gold Edition automatically, new players have to purchase it separately.
Though, when I think about the situation, Minerva's Den was already available on the GFWL store and 2K was unable to verify who owned the content. Allowing all owners access to the DLC covered all of the bases.
Already confirmed Steamworks.
I've heard RE.net integration is pretty sloppy.
Huh, was remembering a mod i guess.
Either way that mode will be dead in a week again anyway.
No problems for me on Remake, RE6 and Revelations, although in Remake it doesn't really communicate how to connect to your Re.net account well, but once you've done that it all seems to work fine.

Fantastic news, the gold content of RE5 is my favorite part of RE5. Mercenaries Reunion is the best version of Mercenaries in RE5, the new alt costumes are the best alt costumes, and Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape are my two favorite chapters in RE5 personally, with some fun randomization elements to make them replayable.
You guys talk the talk but will you walk the walk? I am personally and sincerely asking each and every one of you to PLEASE buy RE5 PC this time around if you already don't own it. Yes the game is old as hell but trust me when I tell you it's worth buying for The Mercenaries.
The PC version of the game as it is now is a straight up ghost town online. Finding a Mercs game is like pulling teeth, and the ones that *are* left playing either A)Don't understand how the game works B)Are elitist assholes who don't want to play with anyone they aren't friends with or C)Guys with absolutely horrendous internet connection.
Anyway I'm seriously hoping the inclusion of the Gold edition will bring tons of new players into the world of The Mercenaries. That game mode is without question the best modern "Beat 'Em Up" ever made.

I thought digital games don't need a rating?
And the only difference is the DLC anyway, why would they show it to PEGI again?

maybe itll get a retail release in europe
They don't, but most games do it anyway. Hence why PEGI rating is how Valkyria Chronicles got leaked. I imagine a lot of bigger companies probably have an internal rule regarding it.
It may have taken them 5 years, but we finally got it. I guess RE5 being GFWL was a blessing in disguise as I don't think they would have added GE content if they weren't doing the Steamworks transition to begin with.
With Gold Edition out of the way, Capcom better port over Dragon's Dogma 1 as well. Maybe in 2 years time?
Hello! I'm actually not surprised by the news as someone from Capcom was hinting this would be a thing last year. And while I'm glad this is finally happening, I wish it hadn't taken 5 years. 3-4 years ago I probably would have gone crazy with modding this, but I don't really have the time and motivation to do so now.
And a must buy for being able to use Barry and Rebecca in all modes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH1AACVbzlE
Capcom was really weird about PC support back then. On one side they made some extremely good ports (mostly thanks to MT Framework engine), but there were some really obvious omissions (like RE5 Gold and Dragon's Dogma), some key Capcom figures kept saying piracy didn't make PC worthwhile (actually, I think large parts of the industry was really worried about the topic back then, hence ubisoft going crazy with always-online drm), and PC ports were always released much later than the console counterparts.

Only if they make it available to territories that couldn't buy it for GFWL. DS is on steamworks now but you still can't buy it in places that couldn't buy it when it was GFWL.

Worth it for Lost in Nightmares. One of the best DLC story expansions ever imo.
DEsperate Escape is decent.

Awesome! I would love to get a "remastered" version on ps4/xbox one, RE5 is still one of the best looking games imo except for a few textures here and there.
The game is pretty choppy when playing split screen though. :/

That's happened with other GFWL -> Steamworks conversions because the DLC was available on GFWL, but RE5 is different insofar that its DLC was never released on the PC at all.
Yes pls :C
DkS is still in transition. I have to imagine that once the Steamworks branch becomes the default public branch, that restriction goes away. That's supposed to happen soonish, I think they said that migration period would end in February.
