On March 9, Capcom will release Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. This collector's version
-
of last year's hit zombie killer comes with everything from the original game, all the
-
DLC released so far, plus two new story new story episodes, some costumes, and an expanded
-
mercenaries mode. We got to play one of the new episodes, which Capcom calls Lost in Nightmares.
-
This hour and a half to two hour expansion tells the story of Chris Redfield and Jill
-
Valentine leading up to the fight scene with Albert Wesker that presumably left Jill Valentine
-
very dead at the bottom of a very tall cliff.
-
Lost in Nightmares is sort of a throwback to older Resident Evil games. It takes place
-
in Spencer Mansion, so the environments feel a lot like the first game in the series. Players
-
take control of Chris and Jill as they maneuver through dank corridors and dimly lit rooms.
-
Enemies are few and far between, but the ones there are quite powerful, which should make
-
for a very tense experience as you cautiously move through the mansion solving puzzles.
-
Combine this vintage Resident Evil feeling with the co-op mechanics of RE5 and you've
-
got what should make for an interesting experience.
-
You've got two options for getting Lost in Nightmares. You can either buy it February
-
17 for $5 or 400 Microsoft points, or wait until Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition arrives
-
on March 9 for $50. Get that one, and you'll also be able to grab the other new episode,
-
Desperate Escape. Keep an eye out for more coverage over the next few weeks.
