Wiki tells us

"Resident Evil 5, known in Japan as Biohazard 5 (バイオハザード5 Baiohazādo Faibu?), is the seventh installment in the survival horror computer and video game series Resident Evil. It was developed and published by Capcom and released on March 5, 2009 in Japan and on March 13, 2009[3][4] in North America and Europe for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[5] Polish games publisher CD Projekt stated in an interview that they expect a PC version of the game in the "second half [of] 2009".

Resident Evil 5 features similar gameplay to Resident Evil 4, with context-sensitive controls and dynamic cut scenes also making a return.[6]"

Dynamic Cut scenes means QTEs!

DLC!

"Shortly before the release of the game, it was announced that a Versus multiplayer mode will be available for download in the coming weeks.[38] It was announced that the content would cost less in Japan than in the rest of the world, but that the release date for Japan had been pushed back to April 9, 2009.[39]

On April 6th 2009, Capcom announced that the Versus DLC would be available to download in Europe and North America on April 7th 2009 on both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.[40]

The Versus DLC contains two different online game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majini, while in Survivor’s Rule players must hunt each other. In Slayers, players can gain points for killing both Majini and each other. In Survivors, Majini are present, but do not reward points when killed.[41]"

Bundles!

Sexy Red Bundle for 360 elite!

PS3 Bundle!

    Yeah that other thread has been up for a good while hasnt it? Too long...too long...

    On topic I hope they make more DLC for this game but I doubt it. I mean the multiplayer only JUST came out, but I mean in the future cause I know there wont be a new Resident Evil for a long while now. I hope they keep this one updated.

    RE 5 just isn't as good as RE 4. HOWEVER...
    The second to last boss fight, ala Wesker on the deck of the ship is probably the best fight in the entire series. A fantastic surprise considering how lame most of the previous boss fights were.

    I mean come on. Running around speechifying, throwing and catching missiles. Plus counterattacking him feels so good.

    Oh man, I bought the vs DLC tonight and I have to say that it's fantastic. I wasn't planning on enjoying it nearly as much as I did. I guess maybe I just expected the community to be worse than what it was. Most people seemed pretty willing to put up w/ my noobness.

    To be fair I was only playing on Player Matches instead of ranked.

    Then do the same for RE2, RE3 and Code Veronica themed levels with appropriate characters packs for each.

    I don’t understand how you guys are having issues with this. My controls work just like any other 3rd/1st person FPS. Also, every Resident Evil in the history of ever the guy moves like a damn tank. Hell, even Milia Jovavich had to stop to turn in the movie (this is a complete fabrication). It's like a damn law or something. RE5 has actually improved the controls ever so slightly, but what the hell else would one expect from a Resident Evil game?



    So, my experience: A friend and I are playing through this together for our first play through. Having a good time, enjoying the experience and whatnot. Then while waiting for him to join a game, I discover something potentially fun/game breaking: There is a ridiculous way to get as much gold, handgun, and machine gun ammo as you could possibly want. Once I found it I was a little disappointed; I mean I am usually not the type that will find these things out on my own, but this was just too damn easy considering the persistent inventory. So I didn’t bother telling my buddy about it, and I'm going to refrain from using it at least until I finish the game the first time through.



    EDIT: As an added bonus, the area that makes this possible is very early in the game.....

    There are soooo many areas ripe for abuse. However, the unlocks later in the game, combined with the sheer amount of gold you will be weighed down with after completing the game, and getting s-ranks on every level (if you enjoy the game enough to do that) mean that getting a bunch of extra ammo and gold don't mean much in the long-term.

    Of course, I definitely recommend not doing any abuse on your first playthrough.

    how do you end up with masses of money with out abusing? i barely had any on my first run on vet, after upgrading and buying first aid, i still have nothing after fully upgrading everything and finding all treasures, there was never a single point where i had sheer amount of weighed down gold to swim in, even after s-ranking, to which you wont get any money for anyway, points yeah but not money.

    OK, so I'm a bit late answering this, but never mind...

    I didn't quite word it properly, I meant after finishing it on all difficulties, and getting s ranks on everything, you will have enough cash to upgrade/buy everything, and never need to worry about grinding levels for cash. I know s-ranks don't give you extra cash, but if you redo a level once or twice to get an s on it, you'll have more cash than if you just finished it and moved on.

    Oh goody. New thread. I left the other one when it became a bitchfest about Capcom being crooked for charging for versus.
    I love this game. Getting all the weapons upgraded isn't too difficult, as long as you keep playing. Get the cheevments for beating every difficulty, and you should have more then enough cash. Getting points for unlocks is another matter. You'll probably have to grind for those. I have over a million dollars in cash, now, but still haven't unlocked infinite ammo for half the weapons.

    So far I have infinite ammo for the hydra , Ithaca, M9 and rocket launcher. Saving up for the Gatling gun right now. I just gone done with the egg achievements and looking at all the stuff im missing im sure it will keep me busy for awhile.

    Sometimes yes but in levels like the missile area we're nowhere near each other and we're walking around and then we just run out. Nothing will spawn for 2 minutes and then finally we get one enemy. We'll be going everywhere on the map trying to make something spawn and it just won't do it. This happens to us pretty much every time we hit 140 enemies. The last 10 are just assholes.
