As it was predictable, after the announcement of the Versus Mode launch in Japan for a reduced price compared to the Western markets, the polemics about the price of the additional contents of Resident Evil 5 are still boiling.

Christian Svensson, one of the big guys from Capcom has replied in a rather vehement manner to the players’ criticism through the official Capcom forum, actually calling BS on the polemics. Here’s the full version of Svensson’s post:

“I’m sorry guys, but this is the part where I have to call ‘BS’. RE5 is well worth every penny of $60. A huge game, with tons of replay value, loads of unlockables, new weapons, co-op, mercenaries mode, etc. If any game warrants its price point, it’s RE5.

“And again, for those people looking at this anew, the DLC in question is not an unlock on the disc.”

After a few announcements and images, EA Sports has finally released the first game video for Fight Night Round 4.

The video shows how the differences in height and lenght of the fighter’s arms result in radical changes in the playability, forcing players to choose different strategies. It’s worth reminding that Fight Night Round 4 will be launched on June 30th for PlayStation 3 and XBox 360.

Capcom has announced that 4 million copies of Resident Evil 5, launched last Friday (March 13th) were distributed to stores worldwide.

The number seems to match the number of downloads that the demo version of the game reached on the XBox Live and PlayStation Store.

Now it remains to be seen whether all those copies will be indeed sold as fast as other games have.

Bethesda has released the debut trailer of Fallout 3’s next expansion, The Pitt, to be launched next March 24th. The scenario chosen for this second expansion is the city of Pittsburgh, completely in ruins, which will take Vault 101’s adventurer into a completely different experience. Besidfes the new story that will connect itself to the main game’s story, there will also be new weapons, new armors and new enemies to face.

Epic Games have finally announced the launch date for the mega-update that should fix most of the problems found on the online component of Gears of War 2. Not only that, but they also announced the launch date of a new multiplayer map pack.

The update, according to information found on the official forums, will start fixing a series of bugs that slow down or block the multiplayer sessions, changing many playability parametersi n order to try and capture some of the fans that were too disappointed with the bugs to continue playing.

The additional map pack that will be launched a few days later is, on the other hand, an attempt to put Gears of War 2 on the top-list of most played games on the XBox Live. It will be called “Snowblind Map Pack” and the maps featured will be called Grindyard, Under Hill and Courtyard.

The launch dates established for both the update and the map pack are respectively March 24th and March 31st.

With the release date of the first additional content for Call of Duty: World at War approaching, the Treyarch people have released a video showing the enhancements that will come with the Nazi Zombie mode.

The new map Verrückt (Zombie Asylum) is the main feature on the trailer and it allows players to discover interesting details about the first additional pack, such as the automatic drink vendors that are available throughout the map: the beer that enhances the fire capacity on the weapon, the Cola that speeds up the recharging times for the weapon and the soda that can be used to help friends. It seems that the Nazi Zombie mode is aiming to raise the quality of the game in order to try and reach the player’s expectations.

Before we leave you to the video, it’s worth reminding that the launch date for Nazi Zombies is scheduled for March 19th and it can only be obtained through digital delivery for PC, PlayStation Network and XBox Live.

Resident Evil 5 will have new game modes released through additional contents: that’s what was officially announced by Capcom. The company has also announced the Versus Mode, which will allow up to 4 players to fight against one another.

The Versus Mode will be divided into two different games: Slayer’s Rule, whose main objective is to kill the Majini, and Survivor’s Rule, which will bring each player against each other in a “survival” competition. Each of the modes will support one versus one and two versus two modes.

The price for the Versus Mode additional content should be 400 Microsoft Points for the XBox 360 version and $4.99 for the PlayStation 3 version and its launch should happen a few weeks after the game’s official launch.

After Capcom announced the the arrival of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles on the Nintendo Wii, the title’s now back with a new trailer released by the developers.

However, no further details have been released, except that the Darkside Chronicles will be a Wii-exclusive and it will fully support the light-gun. In the meantime, we can enjoy the Japanese debut trailer, of course.

On the lights of the post we’ve made from last night, we’ve received a comment from Dayne M., Monolith’s Community Manager, confirming that the upcoming additional contents for F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin - which was launched and then removed from the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3’s servers two days ago - will be indeed free. The comment from Dayne M. can be found here.

So fans can now rejoice! The post confirming the news can be found at F.E.A.R 2’s Community Website. The post also confirms a release date scheduled for mid-April, although no specific dates have been announced yet. We will be tuned.

Thanks Dayne M. for letting us know!
