So when's the release. So confusing.
Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition listed on PEGI for PC/Steam

Pretty sure you needed a mod, but still. It doesn't require much work and they've already added DLC...
Probably for the same reason they didn't bother initially with REvelations 2, it would be another thing to test. It might be in there in some rough form.

I bet they're going to wait for the RE5 sale to end before they push out the DLC.
Nah, the Gold Edition should also be on sale according to Steam facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Steam/posts/10152763682162339
Yeah, I mean I'd love splitscreen as much as the next person, but it wasn't promised beforehand like in REV2. It's disappointing, but not unsurprising.

What's the final price for previous owners? I had $50 set aside for MGSV but now that that got pushed back I'll probably grab this, Hotline 2 and Besiege.
We don't know, it seems Capcom announced the launch and sales to steam but didn't make the game available to the public. Capcom is pretty bad with PC gaming haha,
66% off in US.

Have the game installed. Still no steamworks patch. Maybe later today?

It probably hasn't been published on Steam yet. We know from the Steam DB that you can buy DLC separately. Notice that there's also no Gold Edition available yet.

I think someone hasn't pulled the switch yet on the pages and content.
Still GFWL and no DLC page. Also it is looking like Original owners will still get Steam Works just not DLC.

Its getting there but not yet.
Just booted it up and it's still GFWL and I wasn't prompted for a update.

I want to upgrade but I'm not sure what to do. Guess I'll just keep an eye on this thread and see.

It better be since that's supposed to be the reason were having this sale in the first place.
Someone royally messed up. Either steam put a midweek before it should have.
Or capcom didn't have their affairs in order by the time their midweek came up.
Though the Steam Page does make it sound like this was going to be more of a surprise announcement thing.
Sort of like when Ace Combat got Steam Works. Which was much the same way. Namco said it awhile back and then BOOM sale with game and patch later on.

It was possible with Arkham Asylum which used the same DRM as RE5. So I'm sure things will be ok.

The Steam page refers to the Windows version as being the previous release, so it must be coming very soon. Also lol at the mulitplayer warning, looks like they learned from the Rev 2 debacle.
Edit: Interesting, I failed ot noticed this in my original post, haha. If you buy the Untold Stories Bundle here on Steam, it will be the same as upgrading to Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition. So it looks the DLC is packaged separately in addition to the Gold version, so Games for Windows people probably won't get an upgraded to Gold automagically?

Ahh ok.
Man this seems like quite the mess regardless since the other content isn't there.
Also is odd they're selling the GFWL version to people still. If the other version is supposed to replace it.

Hope somebody gets the split screen mod working.

They didn't say anything about no Split Screen for Campaign though.
Yeah loss of VS split screen is kinda sad but it's not really that amazing of a mode that lends itself well to just split screen.
Don't recall if you could have guests online but I don't think you could. Only guests with system link on 360.

Tried it and it saves fine.

It will, that's why it's irrelevant.
This, they probably just jumped the gun by a day or so.
By the way I noticed Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off The Record also have steam achievements now.
Yeah, the GFWL version is just going to update automatically at some point soon anyway.

Nice! What other games of theirs are still locked to GFWL besides Lost Planet?
Don't buy until the gold edition is available is what I would do if I didn't own it yet.
IronBrigade, another GFWL, has achievements for months.
I'm talking about the Gold edition, not the vanilla one that we're currently seeing. Former is 33 % according to their FB page, the latter is 66%.
On steam forum people are saying it's got pulled at the last minute because of certification problem with MS.
Dark Samus is a mod there btw

For now it still requires GFWL.
Had a chat to wbacon about what is going on...
DarkSamus: www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=Resident+Evil+5+Gold+Edition[www.pegi.info]
DarkSamus: ^Pegi website says that RE5 releases on steam today, is this true?
wbacon [capcom]: not today
wbacon [capcom]: it's unfortunately still in Microsoft cert
wbacon [capcom]: There was a last minute surprise that prevented the game from being released today
DarkSamus: M$ is slow as ♥♥♥, my bet is they will take weeks to approve the patch
DarkSamus: May I know what that last minute surprise is?
wbacon [capcom]: it's somewhat technical, and it's MS confidential so I can't share
DarkSamus: thats fair
wbacon [capcom]: regardless, we're working on a resolution to get us unblocked
DarkSamus: cool
wbacon [capcom]: Game itself has been ready and all is good functionality wise - just getting it through some of the technicalities that resulted in a slight hold-up
DarkSamus: Why can't some people access the store page mate?
DarkSamus: Is there going to be a region lock on RE5?
wbacon [capcom]: oh, I think it's still restricted to GFWL-supported countries at this time. It'll open up WW once the Steamworks version goes live
Hope that helps clear up some things

Uh why would they need to certify with MS at all if they are dropping GFWL.
Regardless sounds like who knows when it will go up.
Hopefully regardless they throw the game on sale longer to make up for it.
Good question.
