Capcom will today release the new Resi 5 online multiplayer Versus mode for both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. You'll still have to pay for it, mind...

"For 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live, or €4.99/£3.99 on the PlayStation Network, Resident Evil fans will be able to go up against each other for the most terrifying Versus mode to date," says Capcom.

Here's the official word on what your cash gets you:


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.

Players 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.

Let us know if you think it's worth it.
