Resident Evil 5 Available on Impulse

Published on September 15, 2009 By Island Dog In PC Gaming

The much anticipated Resident Evil 5 from Capcom has arrived and is available for purchase on Impulse.

The biohazard threat has not ended: Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. He is joined by a new partner, Sheva Alomar, who lends her strength, intelligence and sharp-shooting skills to the mission. In order to survive, Chris and Sheva must work together to take on the challenges of discovering the truth behind this evil plot. Utilizing a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, players will be able to assume control of either Chris or Sheva and experience Resident Evil in new ways. In Resident Evil 5, Capcom will have players fearing the daylight as much as they have feared shadow in previous games.

Resident Evil 5 is available today for the Americas and Asia (excluding Japan and Korea). World-wide release (excluding Japan/Korea) will be on September 18th.

Grab it now!

Just a heads up for people getting the game: Capcom apparently didn't test DX10 mode very well and it causes major problems for ATI card users (black cutscenes, poor performance in certain areas). Running it DX9 mode elimates these problems with no drop in quality. That's right, none; Capcom said themselves they used no DX10 enhanced features. It's there soley for those silly NVIDIA 3D glasses. So unless you're using said glasses, do NOT bother running it in DX10 mode. I can confirm the problems myself (thanks survey 2009 coupon), and have not had said problems since using DX9 mode.

Disappointing blunder by Capcom considering DMC4 and SF4 had zero problems.
