Capcom has recently issued a statement regarding the fact that they will be charging for the Resident Evil 5 Versus mode that we learned about earlier today:

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,” the publisher said. “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.

So basically they are saying that since it’d never been in the game before, and it wasn’t originally on the drawing board it’s ok to charge for it. I guess it makes sense…

But, if Resident Evil 5‘s matchmaking is going to be anything like Street Fighter IV‘s, I’ll save my 5 bucks.

We just learned today that both Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson would appear on the cover of Fight Night Round 4 and already more information regarding the game has been uncovered.

Buried within the official press release announcing the duos cover appearence is the announcement that GameStop is yet again offering pre-orderers the chance to play the game’s demo before everyone else.

This isn’t the first time GameStop has done this, another example being them offering early access to the Killzone 2 demo. Oh well, at least they finally have some competition in the used games market.
