Capcom have released some more info about the upcoming DLC Multiplayer pack for Resident Evil 5, which is released on Xbox Live and the PS Store a ‘few weeks’ after the game is out. They said:

“Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor’s Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles.”

New Zombie shooter for the PSN!

The Playstation Network will be getting a Zombie shooter on March 26th titled ‘Burn Zombie Burn!’.

The game is described as a “a top-down, arena-based third-person shoot ‘em-up in the classic coin-op tradition…” and as you guessed, has you shooting swarms of zombies.

The game will be released in the UK and US on the same day, and will cost £6.99.

PS3 update by the end of the month?

Apparently a firmware update is due to be released by the end of this month. According to some members of the Psyonix Studios team anyway (developers of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle-Cars).

Regarding a bug in their game, they let this out: “Sony mentioned a bug they fixed with the next system software update (2.7.0) that might resolve these issues, but we have to narrow it down and verify it’s the same problem to be sure it’s that and not something we need to fix on our end.”

Another member shortly after revealed: “IIRC it will drop later this month. And contain lots of fun new fixes. I’m excited about this one, lots of new stuff.”

However, all content relating to the update has since been removed but chances are that this could well be true.

Updates are rumoured to include the following:

Friends List:
- Voice Messaging is now available as an alternative to text after selecting a user on the friends list. Voice message recordings are capped at 30 seconds.
- Home Integration: Saved PlayStation Home avatar photos can be selected as photo ID for Gamer Card/Friends List.
- Trophy number and Gamer Level are listed under Friend names for quick reference.

Gamer Card & Trophies:
- Gamer Card layout has been changed to more closely resemble the PlayStation Store aesthetic.
- Past Trophy information can be viewed in detail by selecting “Recent Trophy History” option.
- Newly acquired trophies auto-sync in the background
- Server infrastructure for Trophies has been optimized. Resulting in faster retrieval time for Gamer Card and Trophy information.

In-Game XMB:
- Loading time for In-Game XMB has been drastically reduced, resulting in a more seamless in-game experience.
- “Theme settings” options while in-game is now available, allowing custom themes to be applied to the In-Game XMB.
- Internet Browser can now be accessed while in-game.
- Voice messaging and voice chat options can be used while in-game.
- Options that cannot be used in the XMB during game sessions are grayed out (but still selectable) to eliminate user accessibility confusion.

Hopefully this is more than just a rumour, with these updates being much needed!
