Capcom also announced that a new multiplayer mode for
Resident Evil 5 will be released on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network a few weeks after the game is available. Called "Versus", the new mode will be pitting players against each other in a contest of survival, a marked departure from the central co-operative nature of the game. Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer's Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor's Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other - they can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles. Versus will be available for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or €4.99/£3.99 on the PlayStation Network - a broadband internet connection is required. Six new screenshots found their way in our
