Resi 5 Multiplayer DLC Only 1.86MB News

Small download size suggests that players are paying to unlock content that's already on the disc...

Resident Evil 5's first portion of downloadable content, which promises to bring some much needed multiplayer action to the title, is reportedly only 1.86MB in size, confirming suspicions that gamers are paying to unlock content on the game disc.

This is according to MSXbox World, which is reporting that the Versus Mode DLC has now been made available on Xbox Live, although attempts to download the 1.86MB package have seemingly resulted in an error code so far.

Given the small size of the DLC, we're as good as certain that gamers aren't actually downloading content for their 400 Microsoft Points or £3.99 on PSN, but a code to unlock content that's already present on the game disc instead.

I'll agree they are a trademark charatceristic of the series, but if Resident Evil is headed further down a Gears of War route, then it needs to be looked at. Personally I'd rather they kept the controls and toned down the action in place of some added significance on the puzzle count...

As are the menus. I for one as a die hard fan would be seriously pissed off if the controls and menus were changed. fair point about the puzzles tho, im guessing they were removed to allow for coop play.
