A community for fans of the Capcom series, Resident Evil, (aka Biohazard in Japan).
Title.
People that already have the mode due to their time zone are streaming it on youtube, unless they are unlockable, which it doesn't look like it, Ada and Wesker are missing.
Was never the biggest fan of mercenaries but i bet this will piss a lot of people off, and i was kind of looking forward to seeing them in there to be honest.
the fact that it's those 2 though... I'm sure they will sell them as part of Separate Ways dlc like they did in Village, or maybe add them for free when the dlc drops.
Hopefully i am wrong and they are unlockables, but the game definitely doesn't hint at it.

Ada, Wesker, alt Ada and alt Leon as well as Water World are in the files, you can even mod in stuff like Weskers melee moves. Dataminers have said that they have a Separate Ways tag so yeah it will probably release with or around the Separate Ways
Which is still dumb cause it's gonna take at LEAST 3 months for dlc to come out, otherwise it might aswell be in the game already.
Also wasn't the 2 week delay to avoid the spoilers about Wesker's new RE engine model? Why not add him and Ada for mercenaries like why?
The model thatโs already in the game?
As in, waiting 2 weeks for the people who didn't finish the game to not get spoiled by wesker being in mercenaries already but still, it was just a guess
In the original Mercs was unlocked after finishing the game. So if they just redid that thereโd be no issue.
atleast it wont be as long as a wait for re8 dlc, hopefully
8 dlc took so long because they had no plan for it. Its after everyone is asking for a dlc that they started working on it.
They should have just dropped Ada and Wesker aswell and later on drop new characters like characters from other games (like Chris) or characters from the game like the Merchant and give him terrible mobility and melee skills but he has access to all base weapons in the game with infinite ammo or something.
But the bigges bummmer is the fact that there's NOTHING to unlock in mercenaries aside from Krauser and Hunk which is a travesty, this game is seriously lacking in costumes and bonus weapons so mercenaries was the golden opportunity, especially since we waited 2 weeks for this.
Love Luis and Krauser's gameplay but meh... they really dropped the ball hard with mercenaries compared to the main campaign.
This pretty much confirms to me there probably wonโt be any additional or new characters if they couldโve even add Ada and Wesker to base.
Jesus Christ, three months? There is no way
we dont know if its 3 months, it could be whenever, though I doubt we will have to wait nearly as long as re8's dlc
Well there was no dlc planned for village at first
Hoping we get news about it soon
3 months is copium.
Mercenaries not adding any new unlockables is super disappointing ngl.
I do like the fact itโs an easier way to get the handcannon. Although Iโm never gonna use it lmao
Yeah I agree, but it sucks for people who already unlocked the handcannon. They just get nothing lol.
Opposite feelings. I'm not actually mad people will have it easier than me, I just wanted new unlockable weapons even if it was just Samurai Edge, that datamined flamethrower or some cosmetic to get extra movement speed.
Ada and Wesker were my fav characters in the og mode, well I guess now I'll play Luis till these 2 drop in 5 months ๐ญ
Wouldโve been cool if you could play as Ashley.
Idk if im being overdramatic, but it seems to me like they been avoiding Ada like the plague and tiptoeing around her, not including her on mercenaries is a huge OOF to me, idk what the hell they were thinking when they decided to drip feed characters, especially since this mode has already been delayed by 2 weeks.
Most likely paid DLC
I swear to god if they monetize this shit later on Iโll lose my shit lmao
Was legit looking forward to it purely for wesker but looks like Iโm gonna be disappointedโฆ
Resident evil 4 had mercenaries, separate ways and assignment ada in the base game and for free, the remake has only the base game, mercenaries has two characters and one stage less, separate will be a paid dlc (probably ada and wesker in mercenaries will be too) and assignment ada will not be a thing. I love this remake but i hate how every single game nowadays must have at least one paid dlc
Yeah, because separate ways and Assignment Ada where there from launch
They where in all of the version except for the original one
supply and demand. If you run a business wouldn't you monetize it as well? i always see people bashes company for it, as if with the role reverse they wouldn't do the same. Let's face it dude it's all about profit, that is the sole purpose of any company.
Comparing what we used to get in the old game is moot because there is a thing call inflation for every economy.
If a game costs 75โฌ already (at least where i live), i don't want to pay 20โฌ more for something that was free in the original
Don't see how inflation matters here other than "prices have risen". Just like how people try to excuse CoDs inability to replicate the content of a bunch of 100 devs with 3000 devs and huge budgets, same applies here: CAPCOM has a bigger budget than the original and the base was already there from RE2, the lack of bosses is understandable... but they could have literally just added ballroom, pool room, cabin and ruin and given Samurai Edge or some other gimmick weapon at no extra cost, and it'd probably wouldn't have taken too much time.
You're just trying to excuse lazy modern schemes to leech people off lol
I'm sure Capcom did its research with other paid DLCs and collect enough data points to know the trend and that is the majority are willing to pay for it.
Of course the decision to charge for anything will definitely upset people, but that is what the data suggests. It's the pro outweigh the cons type of situation.
Not that i am defending anything but that is just the reality and how business works lol.
I'm sure if one day you were to run a business you would have also pounced on any potential money making opportunity to capitalize the demand as much as possible.
You just don't fall into the category that is willing to pay. It's fair game here you can always wait it out for discounts anyway. Nobody is forcing you to purchase.
They're going to be added later
I was counting the seconds after the game released for The Mercenaries.
I wanted it mostly to play as my fav RE character which is Wesker.
Seriously, who was the idiot who had this brilliant idea of not adding him and Ada (which turns to be my fav RE female character) to the game now?!
At least we had a time frame to look up for Mercenaries when the game released, but now what? How long until they are added to the mode?!
Pretty pissed off is not near as accurate to describe how furious I am right now.
You need to get laid.
Got his ass
Calm down and wait.
Was looking forward to play as Wesker in re engine. Then i learned it's 2 weeks after launch. And now i learn he will probably locked behind a paid dlc(which was free in the og).
Definitely not gonna pay another 20$ bucks for something i should've gotten when i bought the game. Time to wait for empress when the dlc comes out
Just because it was free with the original doesnโt mean itโll be free now. Games are way more expensive and time consuming to make now, youโre not entitled to extra content at all, let alone free content. Honestly, Iโm surprised we got mercenaries at all.
And that's why companies will always try to squeeze as much as money as they can. They know there are dick riders who will buy anything like you
Iโm a dick rider for thinking that youโre not entitled to the free enjoyment of several hundred talented game developersโ hard work?
They are getting my 60 bucks for their hard work. It is more than enough, why do you think they should get more. This is not charity work, you are buying a product. Be demanding. I don't know how guys like you manage to survive economically irl
i mean, seperate ways wasn't free with the original, it wasn't on gamecube originally. you had to buy a whole new version just for that stuff.
Though I like that SW might take a bit longer, lets them fully work on it.
It was free in every single version after it released on the PS2, which is the version most people played.
Oh i know. Im not really liking the fact SW might be 30 bucks or something, but technically it wasnโt exactly free.
Though id gladly pay the 30 if its higher quality then seperate ways. Always liked it but it always was a bit of an after thought imo.
You can also get the handcannon from it
Not really a big fan of mercenaries either and just 100% the game last night so Iโm not too let down, its kinda disappointing content wise that thereโs no bonuses to unlock but glad I can take a break and just wait for more stuff to come later and play it as a more complete package I suppose.
Donโt usually get hopes up for bonus modes and main game was fucking superb so canโt really be let down in retrospect (for myself, I know people love this mode and was cool with all bonus items in OG).
Oh well
Considering that there is nothing to unlock with Mercenaries I doubt I need even to bother myself with it, better to concentrate on couple more challenging playthrough (normal S+, hardcore S+, handguns and knives only).
You get the handcannon for S ranking all the stages with each character, shame they took out the PRL. Wouldโve helped out tremendously in the remake since they throw an entire country at you with each enemy encounter
