Flee Malformed Clodder!



Shill for the forthcoming Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. The expansion component offers two new Separate Ways scenarios. The first a move model update of the GameCube Resident Evil remake, offering more torture trap Victoriana, and bullet sponge tracker enemies; the second a concurrent escape plan for a pair of main quest straddler characters. Of the two, the mansion flashback looks the most promising. Funnel halls and brutal co-op traps should inject some queasy claustrophobia, a quality the action-led 5 has previously lacked. Expect wildly incongruous costume changes too. Chris gets a leather daddy Road Warrior ensemble, and Sheva a couple of sex-play dress-up options. Capcom recently polled consumers on how they wanted this made available, and as such the expansion will be sold as DLC as well as retail added value. Hopefully the studio won't get greedy and split the two new chapters into separate currency prompters. That'd be a bit of a dick kick.
