Experience the thrill and terror of the infamous Resident Evil franchise
like never before with the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition. Featuring Chris
Redfield of the original Resident Evil and new partner Sheva Alomar, a
West African agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), this
sci-fi action/survival game is packed with hordes of fast-moving, quick-thinking
enemies that represent a whole new breed of unimaginable undead evil. The Gold
Edition features every exciting play option found in the initial releases of the
game, including two-player co-op, powerful new weapons and real-time inventory
management between players, but also includes all RE5 console version
download content released to date. This includes new episodes and costumes, an
improved Mercenaries Mode, and online versus mode.
Story
From the ashes of old conflicts, a new terror arises. The Umbrella Corporation
and its crop of lethal viruses have been destroyed and contained, but a new,
more dangerous threat has emerged. Years after surviving the events in Raccoon
City, Chris Redfield has been fighting the scourge of bio-organic weapons all
over the world. Now a member of the Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance
(B.S.A.A.), Chris is sent to Africa to investigate a biological agent that is
transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by
local BSSA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth
behind the disturbing turn of events.
Exciting Two-Player Co-op Mode
The new cooperative gameplay element focuses on the realities of a dual-agent
mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and Alomar must work together
to survive the unexpected, while still allowing them to split up and work alone.
To help you maximize the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline
co-op modes ensure that you have options when aligning yourself with a partner.
New Episodes Episodes and Costumes
In addition to all the campaign gameplay content included in the initial
standard console release, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition also includes two
all-new episodes. These include "Lost in Nightmares" in which Chris Redfield and
Jill Valentine journey back to the Spencer Mansion from the original Resident
Evil to solve its puzzles, and uncover the secrets of the Umbrella
Corporation; and "Desperate Escape", featuring Jill Valentine and BSAA agent
Josh Stone fighting to escape the Tricell facility, and the unrelenting waves of
enemies at their heels. The Gold Edition also adds two new costume packs
containing a total of four new costumes. These new costumes feature full
playability both in-game and in cutscenes, ensuring that Gold Edition players
always fight evil in style.
Online Versus Mode now Included
Originally available only as an additional digital content download, the
Resident Evil 5 online versus mode comes packaged along with the Gold
Edition. In it players with Xbox LIVE Gold memberships take control of Chris,
Sheva and other RE5 favorites in online battles of up to four players
where the choice is yours whether to fight alone or with a team in two game
variations which include "Slayers", where you compete for points by defeating
the zombie Majini, and "Survivors", where you fight against human competition.
Mercenaries Reunion
Mercenary Mode, was an unlockable mode available at the end of the single player
campaign in the original releases of the game that hearkened back to the
franchises roots in the Horror genre. Mercenaries Reunion is an updated version
of that mode included in the Gold Edition. It is an all-out, arcade style zombie
fest in which players must eliminate as many enemies as they can in a limited
amount of time, using only the weapons and ammo that is found in the play
environment, and a curtailed number of inventory slots. Available both offline
and online, Mercenaries Reunion features eight new playable characters and
weapon load outs, providing players with additional opportunities and
challenges.
