For those of you who like Resident Evil, the first part of the RE5 golden edition DLC is out!
In the first part you have a new campaign chapter called Lost in Nightmares. It sets you in the flash back that you saw
in the marshlands, a few years prior to game when Chris and Jill were on a mission for the BSAA, investigating O.E. Spencer.
It leads to the scene where Jill dies along with Wesker.
The scenario sets you up in a VERY similar mansion to the one in the original RE, and sacrifices combat for a more classic-
creepy-puzzle theme - even the fixed cameras are back as a cameo, if you want to use them for nostalgia's sake! I know I did!
The chapter isn't that long, between an hour and an hour fifteen , but it's a very enjoyable hour.
Along with that comes a new version of the mercenaries called reunion. Basically the same levels, altered with more enemies
and variety, and overall more difficult. Totally new roster from the ground up. The pack comes with two characters on eight, with
two more that you can buy separately for a little more than a buck - though just costumes for chris and sheva, nothing cool.
The two ones that come with the pack though are:
Excella Gionne, from RE5
For the loudmouth spoiled brat that she is, she's surprisingly fun to play, with one of the best inventories so far, and pretty
wicked moves, like injecting uroboros into people to create bombs that blow up a few seconds later... creeeepy xD
And my personal favorite!
Barry Burton from RE / RE3, was really a surprise to see him there! And his moveset is freaking awesome - melee attacks
roughly resume into this : i take my .44 and blow your brains out at point blank, without consuming ammo! Yay!
...and he has an attack called the Barry Sandwich.. fans of the series will catch the joke xD.
...Oh yeah... His headbutt blows up enemies heads... >.>
ANYWAY, to summarize, for 5 bucks it's a really good deal, and it'll keep RE5 fresh for another while =P
Part two is out on the third of march, IIRC. New chapter called Desperate Escape, this time during the main timeline of
the game, but begins right after Jill is set free by Chris, and she is helped by BSAA Captain Josh Stone to escape the Tricell facility
and later meet up with Redfield and Alomar.
It will be a lot more action paced than part I, similar to the final scenes of RE5. Apparently extremely tough on professional,
I'll have to recuit Clep to help me again =P
Reunion newcomers in part 2 are Josh Stone - obviously - and Rebecca Chambers from RE0 / RE.
Another one I'm happy to see, she seemed to just disappear after Resident Evil! Her moveset involves lots of first aid sprays
turned into flame throwers... no shit >.>
Should be pretty fun to play! Add HUNK, Leon and Claire eventually, and we've got the full roster!
Keep an eye out!
