About Resident Evil™ 5 - Gold Edition

About this game

The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player’s spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilising a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, players will be able to assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will have players fearing the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.

Co-producers and series veterans Jun Takeuchi (Lost Planet) and Masachicka Kawata (Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles) unleash an unprecedented level of fear for the next generation in Resident Evil 5, the sequel to one of the highest-rated videogames in history, according to Metacritic.com and Gamerankings.com. Promising to revolutionise the series by delivering an unbelievable level of detail, realism and control, Resident Evil 5 is certain to bring new fans to the series. New technology developed specifically for the game, as well as incredible changes to both the gameplay and world of Resident Evil will make this a must-have game for gamers across the globe.

Content Description

  • Resident Evil 5
  • Lost in Nightmares - What happened that night? That night when Chris thought he lost his partner… Now you can find out what happened during that mission when Chris and Jill visited the infamous Spencer mansion. Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go, just mystery…the story that wasn’t included in Resident Evil 5 reborn, the nightmare you cannot forget…
  • Desperate Escape – Safe but exhausted, Jill has collapsed. Awoken by BSAA agent Josh Stone, play through their desperate escape from the Tricell facility, fighting off unrelenting waves of enemies in heart-pumping blockbuster action as they race to assist Chris and Sheva in their final showdown with Albert Wesker.
  • The Mercenaries Reunion – this new mode brings 8 new playable characters and weapon load outs into the fray, providing players with additional challenges as they aim to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Play as one of the unsung heroes of the original RESIDENT EVIL, Barry Burton, take control of one of the stars of RESIDENT EVIL 0, Rebecca Chambers, step into the designer-made high heels of one of villains, Excella Gionne, or take on the role of Delta Team's commander, Josh Stone.

Honestly, it's a romance game.

People argue about action and horror, but I think foremost this is a game about love and how far you're willing to go for it -- both on the side of Jill and on Chris. If you keep that in mind while playing the game, there's different nuances and levels of dumb actions that just begin to make more sense when you factor in desperation and love. Honestly, it's also the best-looking Capcom game and the best iteration (voice, mocap, and appearance) of Chris and Jill. Just remove the swamp filter and you'll see something stunning; it's a pity that Capcom didn't release a filter to remove their filter for the 25th anniversary. I feel like that would've actually been a real good move and something that would've shown the actually cared about the series vs here's a character in another game! We care! Look! Instagram models and stuff! Idk. Wrasslin, the depth of the eye expression and microexpressions (especially on Chris thanks to Roger Craig Smith's fantastic performance and on Jill thanks to the fantastic Patricia Ja Lee, both of whom Capcom treats like fodder because they're unionized -- gross of them, right?), fun weapons, and cheesy dialogue mingled with serious sentiments really do make this a stunning and beautiful game.
