Resident Evil 5 PC dated and extras detailed

Capcom has finally announced that Resident Evil 5 will be released on PC in September. Those of you in North America will get it on September 15th while Europe will have to wait a few more days until September 18th.

The game will have been out for a number of months on PS3 and Xbox 360 by the time the PC version arrives. So Capcom has included some additional features to tempt you to either buy it again, or give PC players some ammunition when arguing why it was worth the wait.

First up, the game will be playable in 3D if you have the right setup to play with the Nvidia 3D Vision Kit (Nvidia goggles, 120Hz display, compatible GeForce graphics card, Windows 7 or Vista). Work has been done on the game to give it depth and make objects leap out of the screen at you if you choose to play in this mode.

Alongside offering additional costumes for both Chris and Sheva, and online matchmaking, those of you with a powerful rig are going to be most interested with the updated Mercenaries mode. Mercenaries is a mini-game which sets you a challenge that is usually done under pressure e.g. timed. Capcom are claiming the PC version of this mode can cope with three-times the enemies seen on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
