Resident Evil 5 was an early co-op hit this year. As you'd expect for a title so popular, quite a bit of extra content is headed your way soon. The PS3-exclusive "Alternative Edition" is coming soon, and will include all the DLC listed below, plus compatibility with Sony's forthcoming motion controlling doohickey. (Pretty sure that won't be the final name.) Xbox 360 owners and those who already own RE5 for PS3 can also download this content.
Co-Op gamers should be familiar with Mr Albert Wesker as he was the main villain in Resident Evil 5. After conquering him in the game you could unlock him as a playable character in Mercenaries mode, and for us, he was a favorite.
So there's good news for those of you looking forward to Lost Planet 2 and its four player co-op mode - Wesker is an exclusive pre-order bonus to Gamestop. Well it's good news if you like Gamestop, and thankfully it's only a skin. That's ok right? Not exactly.
It's time for another monthly Games for Windows Co-Op Night, and this month things have gotten evil. We're taking Capcom's Resident Evil 5 onto the town this Friday night for a date with the dead. Or undead. Or diseased. Anyway, read on to find out how to join.
A few weeks ago Capcom offered the community a choice - Do you want Resident Evil 5: Alternate Edition as DLC or a stand alone disc. The results are in and the decisions was unanimous. I know, you know the result, you read the headline.
RE5: Alternate Edition will be available this spring on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as downloadable content. The two hour co-op content takes Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine on the assault of Ozwell Spencer's horror-filled castle, an event that was three years prior to the game itself. PlayStation 3 owners will get an alternative control scheme as well that supports the upcoming PS3 motion controller.
Did you vote in the poll? Did your choice win?
Survival or Waves modes seem to be all the rage these days with co-op games. And while we all love a good cooperative experience bolstered by solid exposition, it's hard not to love the arcade like nature of survival challenges.
