The company asserts that the Versus mode goes "above and beyond the initial scope of Resident Evil 5."

 

Yesterday, Capcom revealed that there will be online competitive modes made available for Resident Evil 5. These modes, which pit up to two teams of two against each other, will be priced at $4.99 when they release. Speaking to CVG, Capcom defended the pricing and noted that the DLC is not a simple unlock code for content already on the disc.

 

"Although Versus mode makes use of the assets that exist in the game, the functionality is not currently in the game and is above and beyond the initial scope of Resident Evil 5," said Capcom to CVG. "We have never included a Versus mode in Resident Evil before, and as well as the costs of development of the feature, there's also additional bandwidth costs associated with it."
