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.
