The complete RE5 experience is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3

By Jeremy Azevedo

New DLC for Resident Evil 5 has been announced, the first of which will be available for download on February 17th, and will be titled “Lost in Nightmares”. This new story mission will follow Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine through the secret hideaway of Umbrella co-founder Ozwell E. Spencer.

It’s probably a pretty sure bet that this “hideaway” contains at least a few hungry zombies somewhere within its walls. A costume pack for Chris and Sheva will also be made available that same day, neither of which will be as awesome as the panda bear secret costume from Onimusha.

Following on March 3^rd are one more story mission (title TBA) and another character costume pack. Additionally, each of these four pieces of DLC will include two new characters and weapon load outs for the “Mercanaries” mode. Of the eight new characters planned, one can only hope that classic favorites like Hunk, Tofu, Ada Wong and Barry Burton will be included. Leon Kennedy is another likely candidate. Rebecca Chambers? Not so much.

For those of you who (like me) have yet to pick up a copy of Resident Evil 5 this year, Capcom is prepared to award your reluctance with Resident Evil: Gold Edition. Resident Evil: Gold Edition for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will collect all of the planned DLC in one package, along with the original game, and will retail for a reduced price of $49.99. Sounds like a pretty square deal to me!

New RE5 enemy pics, too!

The last new trailer and pics from Resident Evil 5 before the big launch day are in! RE4 was one of the greatest games ever made, and the sequel is looking to not only equal but to smash expectations. Both Wesker fans and gamers who enjoy “jiggle technology” will be pleasantly surprised by the following trailer, which reveals new plot elements and characters:

We also have some new enemy pics from the game… They didn’t come with backgrounds though, so we slapped some together real quick to give you a sense of where some of them might pop up in the game:

Chris and Sheva mow down an entire village, meet Baghead!

If you are reading this, you probably already know that Resident Evil 5 is looking like it’s going to be one of the best games of the year, or ever. Having played the game myself, I can tell you that these images are no joke, the game really looks like this in action.

In fact, RE5 almost looks better in action than it does in the cut scenes, which is a weird reversal of roles if ever there was one. Check out these new screens from the playable demo at E3 to see for yourself…
