Scaring Up Some News About Resident Evil Gold Edition
I don't think this is the same as alternative edition...
Published: November 24, 2009
When we last left Resident Evil 5, it was making me angry at the complete lack of a mansion of any sort, and also a little peeved at it's kinda cruddy way of adding multiplayer modes for pay right after release. Also, I am the first to admit that the series shift from survival horror to action shooter sort of turned me off.
That being said, the slew of upcoming DLC MIGHT go a ways toward redeeming the franchise in my eyes... but we shall see. Capcom has announced not one but TWO new episodes coming out in February and March, as well as a slew of new costumes (yawn) around the same time. These will all be available as DLC, or you can wait until mid-march and buy the whole game plus DLC on a disk for $49.99.
Previously only seen during cut scenes of the original RESIDENT EVIL 5, the first new episode titled “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, finds BSAA agent, Chris Redfield, working with his partner, Jill Valentine, as they investigate Ozwell E. Spencer’s hideaway. Spencer, the evil mastermind and co-founder of Umbrella Corporation, has been hiding a new evil deep within the basement of his mansion. Chris and Jill discover this grotesque evil standing in their way as the two enter deeper into the catacombs beneath the mansion.
Simultaneous with the release of “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, new costumes for Chris and Sheva will be made available, allowing the player to experience RESIDENT EVIL 5 with a fresh new look and feel through both game play and cut-scene playback. A new refresh of Mercenaries Mode, “ THE MERCENARIES REUNION”, gives players new playable characters and weapon load outs which provide players additional challenges as they aim to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Each piece of downloadable content will contain two new playable characters. The GOLD EDITION will feature all eight.
More information on the second episode as it comes in... I am still a little leery of being in the "basement" of the mansion, but maybe we will get to put some medallions in their proper slots to unlock the blue gem in the tigers eye that will reveal the magnum!
