Capcom Announce Resi 5 Mercenaries Mode [with Screens & Vids]

Capcom Announce Resi 5 Mercenaries Mode [with Screens & Vids]
Written Thursday, March 05, 2009 by Dan Webb

Capcom today announced that the much loved Mecenaries mode from Resident Evil 4 will make a return in Resident Evil 5, available this coming Friday 13th. Spooky.

The Mercenaries mode pits players against the clock in an attempt to kill as many infected as possible. The videos and 8 new screens below give a good indication of how the mode will work for those unaware, and one of the vids even shows a level we've not really seen much of so far.

 

Check out the full Resident Evil 5 gallery for the rest of the Mercenaries mode screens.

Never played it in RE4. Looks fun unless the timer goes down, I HATE racing the clock.

Anywho, I think I'll be stuck on Halo Wars before this.

Can't wait except I am going to have to get used to the shitty controls again.

Mercenaries Co-op would be great.

Hunk was the only good character for the mercenaries mode and it appears he isn't in it any more. Shame

Mercenaries Co-op would be awesome, espcially if such characters as Wesker are playable, teaming up with Chris would be good to see, oh and btw i hope theres no more 20ft chainsaw monsters, they scared the sh!t out of me.

I wonder what other characters they will use like in RE4.

@4 I have to agree racing a clock is a pain.

Hopefully Hunk and/or Tofu, and Wesker will be playable.

I LOVE RESIDENT EVIL! But I don't love mercenaries! I'm not sure why! I guess I don't like to be rushed, I like to dottle and take my time. I wish they'd do another short story...ala assignment ada.But of course I'll still play it!

Mercenaries IS coop! Just not online coop. Not sure why they decided to do it that way though...

Mercenaries mode was a blast on the PS2 version of RE4 - tbh I don't remember, did the GCN version have Mercenaries mode?

But why no highscore achievements????

Such an awesome mode, better have some good playable characters!

Glad the mode is back & without related achievements with it, Considering how annoying the S.F.4 Training challenges are.

@22 - I'm UK based and so I get my news from the European arm of Capcom and this info was only sent to me today. It showed up in my inbox at 10.11am. I can't post about it if I don't know ... wanna be an asshole, go elsewhere.

Excellent! Was hoping and expecting Mercs mode to return, RE5 will officially get played for around 1 - 3 months now because of this, RE4 was played for a ridiculous amount of time on the Gamecube simply because of my and a whole group of friends competetively trying to oust each others scores for months

@10 -- Keep in mind Hunk was an unlockable character in mercenaries, I seriously doubt it's just these two.

Comment #32 by Gamechamp
Thursday, March 05, 2009 @ 05:59:43 PM

Keep in mind: HUNK is the minigame guy. He's legally required to appear in any and all minigames.

You and your friends clearly need something better to do then.

You guys are surprised to see this? Dude, RE5 without this would've been a crime.

This game is absolute shit.

If i saw a zombie id run in the opposite direction to where it is whilst shooting at it.

In this game you stand still and hope that your shooting is on target (Also hope that no one comes behind you whilst you are standing still.

Resident evil 2 was the best without this mode. Can't wait for them to redo it =)

I loved Mercenaries mode in Resident Evil 4, I played that scenario to death! I am so excited to see this returning, maybe you'll be able to unlock an "elephant gun" that kills everything with one or two hits!

Sweet! I hope HUNK, Wesker and a few other "fan-favorites" return for this game. Mercenaries mode rules!

I wasn't really a fond of mercs mode in RE4. It's possible that I might just have a phobia of clocks.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
