The RE5 VERSUS Thread

[Vector]

Oh yes. The Versus Mode DLC hath been released. And it is awesome.




Much like the Mercenaries thread, this thread is to discuss everything about the Versus Mode, post your scores, set up matches, create teams, and talk trash to people that you've pwned. Let the games begin!

Yeah, I've bought some MS points but I have to wait to recive them... sometimes I would like to live in US, then I remember brazilian football. *____*
.
I would like to ask if we can perform melee attacks on other players, all of them. Am I going to be able to head grab someone with Jill? That would be a dream.

I only played a couple rounds of Slayers. I mutilated this person with BSAA Chris using just the shotgun. He was preoccupied with the majini around him, so I blasted him with the shotgun a few times and he went into dying mode, where you have to press the O or B button to resuscitate yourself. While in dying mode, you're susceptible to a melee attack. I haymakered him twice and he died.

Other than that, I'm not sure. I'm waiting for my partner until I play any more.

Still waiting on mine but How awsome it really is Chrisredfield29? Is it true that there are new weapons? Any change of the characters? Please tell me everything!! =)

[Gradon]

All characters have different equipment.
And no, no new weapons AFAIK.

[Mesker]

I don't have any MS points at the moment so i won't be getting this yet. And even if i had, i wouldn't buy it just yet. I'll wait and see what people think about it and then i might get it.

[Gradon]

Clarification:
Slayers & Team Slayers use Mercinaries weapons.
Survivors & Team Survivors have their own weapon set.

[Henry Spencer]

When is the PS3 edition getting this?

[Spiderpope]

It should be today afaik.
So far ive found Versus a tad underwhelming with the caveat that its likely because ive yet to actually finish a game. As soon as i move into the lead, people start disconnecting. Grrr.

[Mr. Spencer]

Anyone else having connection issues?

[hellrizer]

Anyone else having connection issues?

Shit i know i will!

[DeadArtist]

damn , i still can't play it .... 10 more minutes...

[nemesiswontdie]

i cant buy it atm, i no i will by tonight or tomorrow though.

[Gradon]

So me, Mr. Spencer, Chris' Boob and a randomer were playing Team Slayers on Prison.

Epic, beautifully epic. The music, since when did Capcom go techno trance?
It's amazing, and it was insanely fun and funny, screaming down the mic to each other and trying to kill each other while a red Executioner follows us around...

We went through every level on Team Survivors and three/four levels on Team Slayers.
Chris' Boob and Mr. Spencer are awesome partners, aswell as son of a bitch enemies.
I don't know what to say, I'm eaten away at words, it's deffinitly worth that measely £4, heck, maybe even worth more.

It was just overall epic, amazingly awesome.

I really think Versus Mode would have worked better if they had done something a little unorthodox (well, I suppose the inability to move and shoot at the same time could be considered unorthodox, but I mean in addition to that). For example, instead of having weapons do damage to human opponents, have them only stun the human opponents, and then have melee attacks do the actual damage. Or make it so that human players can't be hurt by other human players unless they're being held by a Majini.

As it stands right now, I can't really see this catching on with the online community at large. I imagine it'll be pretty popular for the first few weeks, maybe even months, but then it'll start to die off. It certainly doesn't have the legs of, say, Halo or Gears of War online. It's an interesting idea, but I think it just demonstrates that the fundamental RE gameplay isn't meant for multiplayer.
