Biohazard 5 Versus Mode DLC

Capcom defends Resi 5 DLC charges
Doesn't just unlock disc content, says Capcom

QUOTE
Capcom has defended itself after a backlash over the announcement of three new multiplayer modes for Resident Evil 5, to be introduced via paid DLC.

The patch, costing $4.99 on PSN, or 400 MS points on 360, will introduce new Versus modes - Slayer and Survivor (read the full details here).

But there's confusion over what the patch actually does, because it doesn't add any characters or weapons - just the Versus mode. Capcom has told CVG it's not just an unlock patch for content already in the game.

"Although Versus mode makes use of the assets that exist in the game, the functionality is not currently in the game and is above and beyond the initial scope of Resident Evil 5," Capcom told us.

"We have never included a Versus mode in Resident Evil before, and as well as the costs of development of the feature, there's also additional bandwidth costs associated with it," it added.
