More DLC might arrive for Resident Evil 5
Enlarge picture
Resident Evil 5 was one of the most highly anticipated games at the beginning of this year. It sold a lot of copies and, even though reviewers didn't praise it a lot in their materials, the game is still quite popular with fans all around the world who eagerly anticipated its release.

In order to profit from this heavy demand, the team at Capcom released the Versus Mode DLC, which provided a full-fledged multiplayer mode to the game. As you recall, a bit of controversy was raised in terms of the small size of the DLC, which was priced at 5 dollars, and as to whether it unlocked just content previously found on the disc.

After much debate, the problem was solved and fans were once again left wanting more. In a recent interview, Capcom's Christian Svennsson talked about the possibility that more DLC might appear in the future, revealing that a lot of fans wanted new things in the game.

“We haven’t ruled out more content for RE5 as DLC,” Svennsson said. “In fact, on Capcom-Unity.com last week, someone asked the same question and I asked fans what they wanted to see if we were to make some more. The result was a thread on our boards that is hundreds of posts long, tens of thousands of views and I’ll be ‘interpreting’ that feedback and making recommendations to Takeuchi-san based on it.” 

So it seems that thanks to the huge amount of fan response, the producer of the game, Jun Takeuchi, will make his team come up with more new things for the game. What do you think should be included in this new DLC? New modes, extra campaign missions or costumes? Let us know by leaving a comment.

I think they should add new maps, and perhaps the ability to run and shoot haha. I'm more into the multiplayer aspect of the game just because it's so much fun to kick butt against other players while zombies are trying to feed off of you! SO NEW MAPS, SPECIAL WEAPONS, AND MORE MODES TO PLAY! Like perhaps 2 against 1, 3 against 3, and so on! :)

I feel that there should be more character varriety in modes like Vs and Mercinaries. I think they should include classic characters such as Barry Burton, Leon, Ada, Carlos, Billy etc. Since all the suits are of the same characters but with different weapons you feel a bit cheated, I mean in Resident Evil 4 you got more choice and characters felt more ballanced but now Wesker is over powered with no down side.

I also feel that new game modes should be included to explain where/what actually happened to people such as Barry Burton, Ada and Rebecca. They should also explain where Josh actually keeps disappearing to and how did he live. I would also like to know how Jill and Josh even meet up and why Jill didn't help in the final fight, I mean she must have wanted revenge after becoming an experiment.

It would also be nice for new maps to be added to multiplayer modes e.g. Vs and new chapters to be added to the main game to give more replay value. Some extra weapons wouldn't hurt either, you can never have too many weapons :p.

What happened to Barry Burton, I want to know!

it wold be cool if you could create your guy and pick the stuff he starts with. alot of custimization would be nice.


Comment #4 by: Sol Razor on 30 May 2009, 21:46 UTC reply to this comment

It will be great an extra level that take place in the spencer state with old enemies like the hunters or chimeras for example maybe a new type of tyrant. another game-type like a survival mode with 4 player in a single team trying to kill as mny enemies without the timer till every player gets kill, more Characters, Maps and costumes for Mercenaries/versus mode .


Comment #5 by: adrian on 30 May 2009, 21:51 UTC reply to this comment

A Jill campaign where you get to play as her ..it should show more of here role in RE5 and more about her story


Comment #6 by: Da101BestBrawler on 31 May 2009, 20:50 UTC reply to this comment

this is one of the best games i've played!
and i will like to see as new DLC
new weapons
Leon from RE4
bigger inventories(in-game and menu one)
costumes
side stories
and more chapters from the original RE5 story


Comment #7 by: Nick on 02 Jun 2009, 01:39 UTC reply to this comment

New weapons, (At Least The Samurai Edge)
Improved Graphics?(Not that it's needed but it's an idea)
Costumes
Solo-Mode (A Choice between partner or not)
Weapon add-ons (silencer,scope, ect.)
And am i the only one who wants a Wesker Campaign Mode


Comment #8 by: Yoiland on 02 Jun 2009, 08:04 UTC reply to this comment

I think they should make new maps,campaign,Costumes maybe and maybe you should be able to upgradethe characters it self to run faster or whatever :p

Cheers


Comment #9 by: D.G. on 03 Jun 2009, 02:16 UTC reply to this comment

I like the idea of more multiplayer modes and costumes.

A multiplayer survival mode akin to Call of Duty: World at War's Nazi Zombie game would be excellent. Be a good way for more of your friends to join in.

Dylan or Gail and Regina costumes from Dino Crisis would be cool. The Code Veronica costume for Chris would be an excellent addition.


Comment #10 by: FoxyAreku on 03 Jun 2009, 04:31 UTC reply to this comment

Definitely a Separate Ways-like minigame where you play as Jill.


Comment #11 by: ryan on 04 Jun 2009, 06:50 UTC reply to this comment

i think there should be a mode called survivor mode where up to 8 players at a time could play 4 would be fine. but this mode would contain new maps. old enemys such as nemesis also keeping new enemys such as majini reapers. and theres no time limit you see how long u can survive... also personally i would like to see claire as a charecter...


Comment #12 by: ddarkprince on 05 Jun 2009, 16:17 UTC reply to this comment

i looked through hundreds of posts and the ideas that appealled to me the most
is

Horde mode = lots and lots of zombies coming at you, and you have to survive

i dont care if you have to dull down the graphics to fit in more zombies

lol just magine wave 30 = 1000 zombies


Comment #13 by: david on 07 Jun 2009, 20:16 UTC reply to this comment

they need to include a jill seperate ways with chapters in the spencer estate. spencer could have some BOWs from the old re games in there as traps and defences. then they could include her activities as bird lady in different chapters. and then of course chapters after she is freed of weskers control and her meeting with josh. or just as an added bonus have jill playable in the main game. i would pay anything to have that happen. its jill for gods sake. she is one of the most loved capcom characters ever. she needs a fitting tribite in re5.


Comment #14 by: Mando on 20 Jun 2009, 05:06 UTC reply to this comment

they should allow more players in versus mode, like 4 more players being the mini bosses of that map.
they should also add a mode where one person can be wesker with all his powers( a bar telling you how many dodges u have left and getting them back with kills) and 3 other players trying to beat him; they can take turns being wesker.
they should add all the RE4 characters and some from other series as DLC.
More maps wouldnt hurt either.
And my favorite recommended DLC, Show Down mode(like outbreak file 2) with different bosses from different games. it will be the greatest game

Comment #14.1 by: XxzombiefestxX on 20 Oct 2010, 13:02 GMT

i love your idea about fighting wesker. that would be soo much fun i would domainate as wesker lol


Comment #15 by: TN on 28 Jun 2009, 03:06 UTC reply to this comment

I think they should have more like extra stage special and alot of zombies come out of no where in the dark alot! More costume for chris like a tanktop and shiva dress alot!


Comment #16 by: Jared a wiggins on 01 Jul 2009, 16:51 UTC reply to this comment

I got an idea for a new d content for resident evil 5 on the xbox 360 add all of the weapons and characters from all resident evil games .


Comment #17 by: Bry on 02 Jul 2009, 20:57 UTC reply to this comment

should have all characters from the series a horde mode and a game mode when u play as nemesis and the other players have to try and bring him down the person with the most points becomes nemesis next round and it would be cool to get a survivor mode with the original resident evil enemies old school zombies hunters,tyrants etc. actually to survival modes the new zombies versus the old school that would be awesome


Comment #18 by: skinny mcgee on 03 Jul 2009, 22:02 UTC reply to this comment

They should add a option that lets you turn off friendly fire in slayer and team slayers mode. I' wouldn't be hard to do since they already have it in mercaries mode. Thay way everbody is happy, if you don't want to have to worry about the other team shooting you then only look for games that have "friendly fire" turned off. I'd help alot.


Comment #19 by: fan of add on's on 06 Jul 2009, 04:24 UTC reply to this comment

I agree 100%
with the jill/seperate ways ,
her gameplay and interaction is very limited

also the addition of new characters
not classic characters but characters essential to RE5
such as excella and josh they are very important

and maybe one or two new scenerios
the spencer estate sounds awesome


Comment #20 by: enea on 06 Jul 2009, 14:49 UTC reply to this comment

I would like to see Jill missions where Wesker gives her orders over a radio until she gets saved by Chris and when she meets with Josh and they fly together to get Sheva and Chris at the volcano.When you finish all this misions with an S ranking the Grenade Launcher gets infinite ammo.Also the weapons from Mercenaries not availible in story mode should appear as new items(the Px4 Handgun and the Samurai Edge).


Comment #21 by: Garbohan on 07 Jul 2009, 14:24 UTC reply to this comment

I think you should add some 2 or 3 chapters with leon, what happened to him or somthing like that, and i think you should make sillencer or scope, or more knifes to buy!


Comment #22 by: Jason on 13 Jul 2009, 13:00 UTC reply to this comment

I would want to see more costumes for all playable characters,and I would like to see offline multiplayer or reugular multiplayer. I would like to have more playable characters. For example weskers attire at the end of the game when he tranforms into a beast and brainwashed jill as a playable character. Put josh and excella ricardo Irving as playable charaters or put Irvings transformation put reguler vs mode offline and online and add music patch so to listen to your own music while playing.


Comment #23 by: andrew clarke on 14 Jul 2009, 08:18 UTC reply to this comment

maybe a new charcter where you play the whole game as chris and jill that would be awesome all though it would mess with the storyline


Comment #24 by: Patrick on 21 Jul 2009, 23:06 UTC reply to this comment

separate ways is on Re 4(Ada Wong)... Separete ways must be in Re 5 (Jill Valentine) think about it Capcom! all the fans in the world want this new DLC!!!!!


Comment #25 by: davis17 on 24 Jul 2009, 17:02 UTC reply to this comment

I would like to play in new maps a lot of new maps. also the idea of seperate ways as jill is another good idea i enjoyed playing in mecenaries with my bro it was great fun but we want more maps.


Comment #26 by: Daniel on 01 Aug 2009, 09:54 UTC reply to this comment

I agree with everyone on the jill separate ways although i thought about it and it could be hard to find some enemies for jill since she has control over all majinis.
And why is it so hard to give that grenade launcher infinite ammo?!I wanna be able to shoot without the feeling that im wasting ammo and money.Wesker's pistol from the mercenaries.................I WANT IT..........PLEAAAASE!!!


Comment #27 by: Zavita on 08 Aug 2009, 22:25 UTC reply to this comment

Definently should a jill's seperate ways and add an option to play single player without an a.i. Running around with u


Comment #28 by: sam on 09 Aug 2009, 03:37 UTC reply to this comment

i think that they should put in a new full campaign of what capcom originally planed for the game Chris alone and original enemy design and weapon and i think the Jill sepwarte way thing is a good idea


Comment #29 by: sam on 09 Aug 2009, 03:55 UTC reply to this comment

they should make like like metal solid 4 online play it would also to choose your own weapons one of type i mean all mags or shotguns


Comment #30 by: KK on 10 Aug 2009, 03:39 UTC reply to this comment

A few things I'd personally like to see is a new campaign with the old zombies and enemies, more characters added to versus, such as Josh, Excella, and other RE5 characters. A new campaign that stars Jill and Chris, getting to Ozwell and Wesker. Also, a boss mode, where you fight each boss in RE5 in succession with limited healing and ammo. Lastly, better costumes for the versus characters. Half of the ones we have now suck.

And, why do people have such bad grammar and spelling on the internet? You make yourself seem stupid by saying things like:

make jll hvea a level ofher onw


Comment #31 by: enea on 10 Aug 2009, 10:37 UTC reply to this comment

Clearly,no DLC is comming because capcom is launching RE5 on the PC and all the new stuff will be there.But if there is a chance of new DLC's on the PS3 and XBOX then i would like to see a SINGLE PLAYER MODE.No A.I whatsoever,just some place where you could play on your own,possibly new areas like a jungle or a desert.I was really hoping for a jungle on RE5 when the game came out because there are plenty of those in Africa.


Comment #32 by: Jeff R on 27 Aug 2009, 05:34 UTC reply to this comment

I am all for new DLC for RE5. New characters such as Leon, Ada and Barry would be great new additional characters to the game. Perhaps a new type of game mode involving the coroporation of two, or more, characters of choice. Maybe an optional character choice for storymode(ex: play the game as Wesker or Jill). Finally new map locations to play on for mercanaries and versus; like a new town, jungle or swamp arena.

Comment #34 by: enea on 30 Aug 2009, 22:47 UTC reply to this comment

hey,i got a great idea...in one of the files about Jill Valentine it says that ''Chris and Jill arrested terrorists all over the world and stoped black market deals''So you could do some chapters about them.Jill could also have her own chapter where she fights Wesker because she goes out of control(Maybe that device on her chest malfunctioned)but then she gets restrained again.And last but not least...Jill meets Josh and together they find a chopper while fighting enemies in a co-op experience!!!Wouldn't that be awesome to see?!


Comment #35 by: Lacy on 08 Sep 2009, 20:26 UTC reply to this comment

Suvival mode of 4 against the t-virus zombies would be awesome
just lots n lots of them, and do real 1 hit to the head kills, and only hs kills :o that would be awesome and then use the old slow zombies instead of the new progeniter/majini zombies who are quite fast, and ofc limit ammo and new maps for that


Comment #36 by: dorian45 on 29 Sep 2009, 21:48 UTC reply to this comment

what i want is very simple. new versus maps, the option of playing as wesker & jill in story mode(or seperate campaign), and most of all MAKE PRISON A LEVEL IN STORY MODE!!!


Comment #37 by: Mykhaell on 29 Sep 2009, 23:01 UTC reply to this comment

wesker & jill's own playable story mode
add both jill's & wesker's handgun to story mode
add josh to versus & story mode as a playable character
add prison as a story mode level
add a executioner (blue-ICE) 3 king prong spikes on back, little faster & taller than the (red), spawns at last 45 secs, (1 rocket wont kill) 1st axe attack freezes next one put you on dying. grab attk freezes you, only using ALL MELEE attks kill no guns, burning him makes him kneel instantly in frenzy which is a non-stop 15 sec spin attk. if you are behind him while he admires the sky he will pick you up with his ice pick axe, hook you on his 3 prong spikes on his back, then he will fall on you put you on instant death. if he runs he gains on you. if he is ambushed he stomps the ground & freezes everybody. & HE SPEAKS(Ong-Bok English) or the African language. 2nd frenzy is if he is laying on the ground like chainsaw majini he gets up instantly after a certain amount of time & stays in run mode also since he is ice have fog come off


Comment #38 by: Juicy on 15 May 2010, 02:19 UTC reply to this comment

i think that every character listed should have their own story to play, with costumes and new weapons. and add more characters in the versus mode. and i the only one who thinks that claire, leon, ada, and krauser deserve a part???? and this time make the dlc super longer.


Comment #39 by: MrsWesker on 30 Jul 2010, 23:39 UTC reply to this comment

Add more characters from resident evil to merceranies and versus(Claire,Ada,Hunk,andLeon)
Make another adventure with Jill and Chris
Make the animals have viruses(that'll be cool, especially lions)
Wesker's Thrust Punch
Chris's Story Mode(Him Only)
BrainwashedJill and Wesker working together
More Costumes


Comment #40 by: matt on 13 Sep 2010, 07:41 UTC reply to this comment

ok i am a hugeeeee re fan...played and beat every game, seen every movie, and shit read all the books. i CAN NOT WAIT for re6, but i am seriouslyyyy hopin they go bak to the zombies, scary setting/music, and puzzles. go back to the surprise attacks and unexpected scares.. i hope they go back to the re 1,2,3 style. veronica was amazing make it like that...how about this...make barry burton the main character or billy he was dirty as hell lol...raccoon city settings were the best game imop...any1 agree? as far as downloadable content...i agree with a horde mode and custimizable characture...


Comment #41 by: XxzombiefestxX on 20 Oct 2010, 13:07 UTC reply to this comment

I deffenetly think there should be a survival mode with up to 4 or 8 players and with all characters from the old games to choose from. Also I think you should make it to where you can play as any character for story mode even if it doesnt make since for the storyline wesker against wesker lol of course this is after you've finished the game so ppl get the storyline. Cause i would love to play as wesker and jill for story mode. please make it happen :D


Comment #42 by: Petoux on 22 Nov 2010, 12:06 UTC reply to this comment

Incorporate "No Mercy Mode" on the PS3 and XBOX360 ... where you have 400 enemies (I prefer more) with an insane spawn rate (lookup youtube videos of this ... it's on the PC version). You incorporate that on console, now we're talking! :D On top of that, incorporate the reunion characters for versus.


Comment #43 by: chris on 11 Jun 2011, 09:18 UTC reply to this comment

Ok mega re fan and I think they should definitely have Jill have her own storyline to know what happened to her and more campaigns to find out what happened to everyone else like Billy and Steve from code veronica.i love Claire too so where is she?i agree they need to stay true to the heart of re which means more zombies and less controlling people like hello the t-virus started it all!!!
