Resident Evil 4 Remake will Feature In-Game Purchases, Possibly Multiplayer

The upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4 will have in-game purchases, which has made some people believe the game may feature a multiplayer mode.

gamerant.com

According to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, or ESRB, the title will have in-game purchases, particularly on PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. No further details are given as to what exactly these purchases will be. However, seeing as RE3 Remake also came with a similar feature, which incidentally also has multiplayer in the guise of Resident Evil Resistance, it could mean RE4 will get multiplayer as well. However, this hasn't been confirmed, so it's best to take the information with a grain of salt.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Expected.

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

I'm still gonna get this game who am I kidding but this news is

I'm still gonna get this game who am I kidding but this news is

I think every RE in the last 10 years has had in game purchases.

 

[Knightime_X]

I wonder what kind of content they'll offer.

 

[Apocryphon]

Guessing stuff for the Mercenaries mode.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Merc chars, specialized Albert Wesker whatever type Guns, a Las Plagas Keychain for the rifle, three new costume sets for Ashley, Ada, and Leon, package to instantly acquire all the in game unlockables, maybe an OST swap patch with the OG music or something.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Cant wait to smack a them/they baseball cap on Leon.

 

[Filben]

They had this since RE5, I think.

 

[Deerock71]

What're you buying, stranger?

 

[DonJimbo]

I hate microtranactions

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

What're you buying, stranger?

Having the Merchant's voice go "Heh heh... thank you!" when you buy some MTX would be some masterful trolling.

Link to Resident Evil games on ESRB site

Resident Evil 2, 3 and Village all have the same tag. Not something to get worried about unless you had a problem with it in those games.

Edit: also not worth thinking it's multiplayer since none of those games had it either. If you want to point to the extra game that came with purchase: Re:verse is a separate entry from Village but Resistance seems to not have it's own page. RE2 had nothing of the sort though.

Best DLC I bought in my life was the original RE2 soundtrack swap to use in RE2 Remake. No idea why they didn’t do the same with RE3.

 

[Soodanim]

The out of context fact is disappointing, but when you look at what RE games have had for years it's going to be along the lines of a paid shortcut to unlock content. I'm sure people out there buy it, otherwise they wouldn't offer it.

It's actually sad that every time see it typed out in a forum, or even hear it in game, the first thing I think is the librarian from Symphony of the Night way back in 97.

Now that music is in my head

"I'm interested in this."

and I read it all in their voices.

I bought the pack that include all costumes and classic OST, not something i can always says about Capcom but in this case yes it was very worth for the price.

 

[kapshin]

How much for brains?

 

[Saber]

Very dissapointing.

I hope its not cancerous or spoils the game.

 

[Shakka43]

Probably enhancement coins or outfits like pretty much every RE title release in the last decade.

 

[adamsapple]

All the recent RE engine games have had in-game purchases to unlock all the things you can also get by beating the game on various difficulties.

This is not surprising at all.

 

[stn]

If its stuff like skins and the like, I'm good with that. All I want is for them to make this game truly amazing and I'll be able to live with any DLC bullshit.

 

[Kabelly]

couldn't you buy skins for RE2 remake? I got like one of those deals that came with the dlc.

 

[adamsapple]

Yes, RE2, RE3 had skins and 'keys' which unlock things you can normally get by beating the game on higher difficulties (unlimited ammo guns etc).

 

[lh032]

probably the unlock all weapon dlc for the babies.

 

[Nautilus]

Every RE ever since 7 had those microtransactions. It sucks, but it seems really an after thought, and the game's balance isn't affected.

Having said that, I'll never be ok with microtransactions, and I hope people always point out and piss on it, until publishers get sick of it and take them out.

 

[Swift_Star]

Probably will have some Leon skins for sale

 

[Nautilus]

Should have been included in the game, not nick and dimed out of us. Unless its an actual expansion, like the games of old does, I'll never buy microtransactions.

 

[FUBARx89]

Just be stuff like unlock everything in shop, OST swap, costumes.

Imagine if it was a resource like it was in DMC 4 & 5.

 

[Diddy X]

Don't ruin it Crapcom

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

Expected.

What? Why?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Can't wait to use a trainner to unlock all.

 

[diffusionx]

Remakes today are like 90% monkey paw, dont know why gamers still clamor for them.

[fart town usa]

It'll probably just be the master key type thing for all upgrades or costumes.

I wouldn't panic.

 

[FoxMcChief]

What? Why?

Have you played a Resident Evil in the last 10-15 years?

 

[adamsapple]

I wouldn't panic.

Yes. Most of the negative replies in this thread have probably not played any of the recent RE games since 7 onward.

 

[Eimran]

$69,69 to look under Ashley's skirt

 

[Captain Toad]

Sorry guys. If you want to play the game with Leon dressed as a Telletubbie, you'll have to pay extra.

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

Have you played a Resident Evil in the last 10-15 years?

Yes.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yes.

Then you should know it’s expected.
