Resident Evil 5 Has Downloadable Content?

siliconera.com Writes..........

What kind? Don't know yet, but the product page on Xbox Japan confirms Resident Evil 5 will have some kind of downloadable content. Perhaps, downloadable tanks or Jeeps for the zombies not riding dirtbikes.

The product page also sprinkles a few other details such as system link only works with 2 players, not 2-16 like some proposed box art claims. Resident Evil 5 also has online rankings and supports custom soundtracks just in case you want to blast zombies while listening to Hannah Montana. We're not judging or anything, the contrast might even be a riot.

oh boy. here comes the articles claiming exclusivity of DLC.

I refuse to buy DLC, except when it is really good. I would most likely for developers to move on. The only thing they can add are Multiplayer things, and nothing to the single player. So that's Why. Also RE is not a multiplayer game imo generally speaking.

Powertesties6358d ago

...can mean anything. Themes and wallpapers are considered downloadable content. To think there won't be any would be silly.

If we all use our commonsense then we wouldn't need stories like this.

I_LOVE_MYSELF6357d ago

DLC screw it... Halo is a prime example of how DLC sucks... LBP is another with its latest rip off MGS pack... This gen the dev's are like relentless spider monkeys!

RebornSpy6357d ago

DLC is not always multiplayer stuff. Many games like Oblivion, Fable 2, and Mass Effect have single player dlc. My guess is that RE5 dlc will be secret missions or something.

Mwaan6357d ago

It would probably be extra costumes or some ridiculous weapons. There's nothing wrong with that.

Cerberus_Hunter6357d ago

They already in the game.

"Resident Evil 5 is literally packed with unlockables: additional costumes, secret weapons, Xbox 360 achievements & PS3 trophies, infinite ammo bonuses, dozens of virtual action figures to collect, an addictive “Mercenaries” mini-game, and even a hidden Professional difficulty level – and this is just a brief overview of what you can expect."

Depending on which version has downloadable content will determine which version I get. I've used this line of thinking since becoming a multi-console owner. The reasoning is that I like to get as much out of my games as possible even if its trivial. And yes, I did buy Oblivion horse armor and felt very bad about it; then again I put 150+ hours into the game...

RebornSpy6357d ago

I definitely don't mind. Whether it's extra multiplayer maps or new missions and story, I love adding new life to the games I already have as opposed to buying new ones.

This gen it's not a matter of whether or not a game will have dlc, but how good the dlc will be.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker151d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92151d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr151d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992151d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani151d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730151d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave151d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde151d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88150d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb150d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh151d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
