Sorry PC gamers: No word on Resident Evil 5 DLC for us

Last week Capcom made some announcements concerning future downloadable content for their hit action game Resident Evil 5. The extra content will consist of two extra episodes for the game as well as new costumes and a new Mercenaries Reborn gameplay mode. There will also be a Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition that will ship in 2010 with the original game and all of the DLC in one package.

Sounds pretty awesome, right? However, the DLC and Gold Edition announcements were for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. So what does that mean for the PC version that was just released last September? G4TV put that question to Capcom and got back the sobering response, "No plans for PC at this point." That doesn't entirely shut the door on the subject but at the moment it looks like PC owners of Resident Evil 5 might have to do without all those cool console extras.

::sigh::

This is why I always wait so long to buy games now. First they release the game, but you don't know what platform to buy it on. Then comes the DLC. You know if you wait long enough, and it's a popular game, they'll re-release it for the same price with some/all of the DLC, or some platform will get exclusivity, or.... nobody can just treat the platforms equally anymore.Posted at 10:59PM on Nov 24th 2009 by James
