Hell yes. I'm rebuying on PS5 to replay and get the DLC. Although I will miss the nude mod for the big lady :(
 
Still haven't played this shit yet lol

I'm thinking I'll hold off to get my first playthrough on PSVR2 but these updates make me really wanna open the copy that's been sitting sealed on my shelf for the past 6+ months haha

Just actually got to watch the whole trailer and holy shit that Rose trailer looks so good. The music too? *chef's kiss* Man now I wish they added 3rd person mode to RE7, that would completely change the dynamic of that game. I definitely got to play in 3rd person mode and on PSVR2.
 
VR aside, I hate that 7 and 8 are first person. It's a cheap way to add jump scares to horror games that is even more restrictive and prohibitive to natural movement in an environment than tank controls. Cannot wait to reply this game again now!

Resident Evil Village Gold Edition ‘The Mercenaries Additional Orders’ trailer, details, and screenshots

Capcom has released a new trailer, information, and screenshots for Resident Evil Village downloadable content “Winters’ Expansion” focused on “The Mercenaries Additional Or…
www.gematsu.com www.gematsu.com

Joining Ethan Winters as playable characters in "The Mercenaries Additional Orders" are Lady Dimitrescu, Lord Karl Heisenberg, and Chris Redfield. Here is an overview of each character, via Capcom:

  • Lady Dimitrescu looms large over enemies in this action-packed mode, where she brings her nine-foot stature to bear against any Lycans or other foes unfortunate enough to cross her path. In combat, Lady Dimitrescu builds a Thrill meter by slicing adversaries to ribbons with her razor-sharp talons. This allows her to perform special actions like slamming down hostiles or summoning her daughters.
  • Lord Karl Heisenberg possesses his own electrifying powers. Equipped with a massive hammer and the ability to manipulate magnetic currents, Heisenberg can really put a charge into his attacks. The terrifying creations from Heisenberg's factory, Soldat Jets, also join him in the fray – but be mindful not to get caught in the crossfire of their self-destructive assaults. Heisenberg can also trade off movement speed to see what enemies are made of by pulling them in with his magnetic field or put on a show everyone can enjoy by slinging scrap metal, like saw blades, their way.
  • Chris Redfield also S.T.A.R.S. in "The Mercenaries Additional Orders." The legendary BSAA agent packs a serious straight punch that can not only get him out of situations where he's stuck between a rock and a hard place, but it also builds up his Onslaught gauge in a hurry as well. When Onslaught is active, Chris moves and reloads with lightning speed. Chris can also request support from the Hound Wolf Squad by using his target locator to pinpoint enemy positions and call in support strikes.

Man, third person just works so much better in horror games, where you can get a decent sense of where your character is in an environment, and have proper peripheral vision, instead of the constrained, blinkered first person view, that's like you're peeping out through a periscope or helmet's visor.

Will be buying this on the PS4 and SD, so my wife can play it through beside me, since she's also not a fan of first person games, but usually loved Resi.
