Capcom plans to release a new game mode for Resident Evil 5 called Versus mode in a few weeks on Xbox Live Marketplace (400 points) and Playstation Network ($3.99). Here is a short description of the game mode from the press release:
"Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer's Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor's Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles."
Sounds like fun and an interesting change of pace when it comes to downloadable content. Check out some screens from the Versus mode below.
