Capcom has released a couple videos, showing off the outfits Chris and Sheva can wear in the Mercenaries Reunion DLC for Resident Evil 5.

While Sheva’s “Fairy Tale” outfit resembles a strippers rendition of Little Red Riding Hood, Chris’s outfit, “Warrior,” looks a bit Village People meets Mad Maxx. To us at least.

A boxed copy of Resident Evil 5 (Gold Edition) containing all DLC released, plus Lost in Nightmares, Mercenaries Reunion, costumes and another TBA episode will retail for $49.99 as a single Blu-ray disc for PS3 or as a DVD with a token for the downloadable content for Xbox 360 on March 9.

Lost in Nightmares and Costume Pack 1 will be released on February 17 and 18 for 360 and PS3, respectively.

Another episode (title TBA) along with Costume Pack 2 will hit on March 3 and 4 for 360 and PS3 respectively.

Capcom has revealed that the new Resident Evil 5 DLC will not be released for PC.

At least “at this point”, a representative told G4.

No reason was given, but the representative didn’t say “never”, just that there were no plans at the moment.

Keep hope alive, PC folks.

Lost in Nightmares and Costume Pack 1 will be released on February 17 and 18 for 360 and PS3, respectively.

Capcom has confirmed that it’ll be releasing the all new Resident Evil 5 content that was announced at TGS in September will come to the PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace as DLC.

After a poll run by the publisher, over 1500 people voted for DLC, compared to the 900 who voted for a physical edition of the DLC, as well as the full game. Capcom also promised more content will be coming with the DLC, but refused to disclose what that may be.

DLC will release in spring 2010.

Thanks, That Gaming Site.

This week’s Xbox Live Deal of the Week is Prince of Persia’s Epilogue DLC, and to get you saving up for the rest of the month, here’s a list of future Deals of the Week, courtesy of Joystiq.

October 12

• Hasbro Family Game Night (Battleship, Connect 4, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Boggle and Sorry! Sliders discounted)

October 19

• Resident Evil 5′s Versus mode

October 26

• Fable II Pub Games (half-off)

So far, Pub Games is the only with a price of sorts listed. More will be revealed as the dates get closer, we reckon.

Siliconera has live six new shots of the Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition, showing the extra scenario for the game involving Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Go get them.

It’s also been revealed that the bonus chapter is called “Lost in Nightmares”.

It’s out next year for the PS3, which will support the PlayStation Motion Controller. It’ll be out on Xbox 360 too, but in what way is unknown.

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi’s confirmed to Famitsu that the game’s Director’s Cut content will be coming to 360, as reported by IGN.

The title’s new episode, which features around two hours of play, will be made available to 360 owners in a “different form,” according to that piece. You can “expect details in a future update.”

The Director’s Cut – or “Alternative Edition,” as it was shown at TGS recently – has only been seen thus far working with the Sony motion controller.

There’s been no mention as yet of the new content making its way to the game’s PC version.

A 360 version of the content was rumoured yesterday.

Capcom has not decided on a producer for Resident Evil 6 yet, according to RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi.

“The producer for Resident Evil 6 hasn’t been decided yet,” Takeuchi told Kotaku. “I think, while Resident Evil 4 is a great game, its appeal was limited somewhat to maniac players. With RE5, I wanted to bring the series to a larger audience. I think its important to do the same for the next RE.”

Also, while possible, the gaming house has no plans to port RE5 to Wii due to the hardware.

“With the difference between hardware specs for the Wii and the PS3, porting might be hard,” he said. “We currently have no plans.”

Bummer.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

After the break. You can see very clearly what’s going on here. The game seems to work well with Sony’s wand, although the guy playing does appear to be holding both the motion controller and a standard pad. At the same time.

This is footage taken from yesterday’s Sony TGS press conference. PS3′s motion system is slated for a spring 2010 launch.

Thanks, Syrok.

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Red Faction: Guerrilla are now available on Steam in the US and coming later this week to additional territories.

Also available are Resident Evil 5 and Zuma’s Revenge in certain territories as well.

Loads more info is available on Steam, and through each game link, but Evil Avatar has it all broken down for you.

IGN’s put up the first review of Resident Evil 5′s PC version, and it’s glowing.

“It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode,” said the site.

“While the addition of costumes is somewhat minor, and you may require a few upgrades to your computer to take full advantage of what the game has to offer, you’re exploring a great story and excellent gameplay.”

It’s worth a whopping 9.3/10. You’ll be able to buy it next Friday.

Looks like some more DLC may be heading to Resident Evil 5, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson.

Speaking with VG247 during its latest podcast, Svensson stated that currently the firm is discussing the possibility of releasing more downloadable content for the title, and is looking to the community for ideas and suggestions.

“We’re talking about it. I don’t know if you have seen some of the threads on Capcom Unity, but questions came up on whether we are going to do any more,” he said. “I asked what people would want to see and that spawned a thread that was literally hundreds of posts long and had tens of thousands of views.

“I mentioned that thread to the team and we have discussed it ever since. So I will leave it at that.”

More DLC is always a good thing. Especially when it involves shooting parasite infected enemies out to get you.

The full podcast can be listened to through the link.

Capcom has outlined all the “cool” that it will offer PAX goers who stop by the booth during the event.

Along with the RE5 PC launch party, limited edition items on hand at the Capcom store, there will be games present at the booth.

Here’s the goods:

• A limited number of passes (500 to be exact) for the Resident Evil 5 PC launch party this Saturday will be handed out to the first 250 people on Friday and Saturday to stop by our Resident Evil 5 PC booth. Things on hand at the party can be found here.

• The Capcom store will feature brand new, limited Femme Fatale SFIV TE arcade sticks, giant-sized Poogies from Monster Hunter which are a North American exclusive; Devil May Cry 4 Nero’s Red Queen Sword; Dark Void “Will” statue featuring light-up flames and mask; loads more cool shit.

Te full list of enviable items is through the link. Think of us if you plan to attend.

Resident Evil 5 producer, Masachika Kawata, sat down with PC Games Hardware to talk about the technology and pecs behind the PC version.

During the interview, Kawata talk about Capcom’s MT Framework engine, physics, pipeline rendering, and other techie stuff some of you may like.

“We use our own proud game engine, ‘MT Framework’,” he said. “The current version is compatible to PC (DX9/DX10), Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 formats. It allows the sharing of application source code and resources for each platform that exempts us from the need of individually developing for each platform in case of a multi-platform title such as RE5.

“Also, by continually researching and developing a game engine internally we can maintain high standards of technology and stay up to date. This then means that we can alter the engine as we like, even when we update the hardware. Another benefit is that it allows information sharing between systems and applications so the application could demand a change to the system or vice versa, very speedily.”

Get the rest through here.

Oh dear. Siliconera has a pic of the exclusive Resident Evil 5 costumes that come with the PC version of the game in September, and protagonist Chris Redfield’s cozzy (above)…well…looks a little bit silly.

Sheva, on the other hand, is wearing a charming little secretary’s outfit that’s simply too tight for her. Shame.
