Resident Evil 5 DLC Not Planned for PC

Capcom has "no plans for PC at this point" for the recently-announced Resident Evil 5 downloadable content or DLC-bundling 'Gold Edition,' a representative has told G4tv.

Scheduled for release on March 9, the Gold Edition of Capcom's action horror includes a prequel mission, a new episode and two costume packs--all of which will receive seperate releases as downloadable content. The Xbox 360's Gold Edition contains a download code for new content, while the PlayStation 3 version packs it onto a disc.

However, it would not be uncharacteristic for Capcom to release a PC edition later. Street Fighter 4 arrived on PC five months after its console release, as did Devil May Cry 4, and Resident Evil 5 was not announced for PC until two months after it hit consoles.

Kind of amusing news considering Capcom's recent promises to create better PC versions of their games. To some extent, RE5 was pretty great that way (admittedly even better than its console versions) but this news is rather disappointing in that regard. Kind of a mixed message from Capcom here. :(

I'd like to see this option on the PC, but I really have no plans to buy DLC content for RE5 PC, if GFWL is my only avenue. I was the same way with Fallout 3, so I was quite happy when Bethesda offered their DLC content retail.

That really is the key information here, because they do it all the freaking time, so I'm not going to hold my breath or be dissapointed about this until a year down the line and someone asks them again :|

Hopefully they'll release it eventually. Resident Evil 5 was definitely worse than 4 but mouselook made it still pretty enjoyable for me to play, so I'll play the DLC if they end up releasing it for the PC.

Not a big deal. After all, RE5 was the least enjoyable game in the series for me.

Well when they released the PC-version half a year after it had already been out on the PS3 and 360, and at full price, did they expect it to sell through through in high volume?
