The Mercenaries DLC is out now. They also patched in microtransactions with it, because Capcom was clearly trying to sidestep having them impact review scores.

Finally got to play a little more, got to … Chapter six, I think. Beat the lake boss and the giant boss. Rescued Ashley, and just now met Ada.
I’m enjoying it well enough, but I think RE2 remains the best REMake.

Gotten around to playing Mercenaries a bit ago, since been laid up in bed for the past week in a different room from where I keep the PS5 so couldn't really do it right away. Definitely easier than the original but still a lot of fun, got the Handcannon pretty easily.

They've added placeholder data for more achievements on Steam, so we're probably getting news on Separate Ways soonish. There was a 2-3 month gap between when the same happened with Village and its DLC released.

Turns out they not only announced Separate Ways yesterday but it's out next week. Language warning. Apparently only going to be $10 which is a lot better than I expected.

I am definitely inclined to think they're not putting in U-3 with the way they're dancing around actually showing it, though really as much as people've been up in arms about it I don't mind if they don't since it's a pretty widely forgettable boss fight that served no real function anyway.
Am rather surprised they put the laser hallway back in.
Edit: Nevermind, I was kind of skimming so didn't initially pick up on the fact they show U-3's arena at one point.

I saw this coming. U3 was heavily teased, the cable cars were shown in game, and I guessed that the raided research room meant Ada found another less ideal way in giving the possibility of the laser room.
I'm wondering what's left that wasn't in the base game. The lava room, more of the sewer prison, the spike ceiling, the turret part in the castle, the wooden drill, maybe the bulldozer part but that was replaced with the wrecking ball.

Honestly using a bunch of the ideas from the vanilla game that didn't really logistically fit into the remake to make Separate Ways not suck ass this time was a very good idea.

Separate Ways is already out in some markets, someone streamed it. I didn't watch myself and kind of want to avoid much in the way of specifics, but I did pick up some things that might be nice to know going into it. Going to spoiler this just in case but not any really big giveaways exactly. {Spoiler}- U3 fight is apparently a lot better but design's heavily tweaked, lot closer to Verdugo than before.
- You can unlock Ada's RE2 and OG RE4 outfits.
- It has a heavier stealth focus than the main game.
- The length is about 5-7 hours, the speedrun achievement is for 2.
- Krauser's been cut out of it entirely.

Played for a while and it's alright so far. Nothing special but still more of an already great game. For a $10 DLC it's pretty meaty. I've played probably around two hours and I'm maybe 40% through. Some notes: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} It's got a decent chunk of fan service: I already mentioned the "complete saturation" line, Ada's RE2 theme plays during each chapter break, and a nice callback to RE1 with Wesker saving Ada after she passes out.
I'm also loving how much screen time Wesker is getting. I love the newer baddies of RE7&8 but this is really making me hope we get more remakes with him because great in this.

Some one might help me, ive started playing 2/3 and 4 during the last year or so (loved the last of us games and was looking for similar) did they ever remaster the first game or is it the Origins set as the remaster....i find the camera on it awful and was wondering why did they remaster 2 and not 1.

The version of 1 available on modern consoles is the Gamecube version. I'm assuming they skipped to 2 out of a mix of that remake generally still being held in high regard and being available on current consoles already, though given the rate they churn the remakes out I could see them doing 1 again after they get around to 5 and possibly Code Veronica and 0.

Played about two more hours and I'm about to reach the island. Again, it's crazy how big this is for just $10. A lot of it is recycled parts from the base game but a lot of it isn't. This is probably roughly the same size as the RE3 Remake. For fun, I'll list the original games parts that weren't in the remake that made their way here (so far): {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} The villages second El Gigante fight, it's in a different area though.
The Drill part in the castle
The underground Water Way
The U3 boss fight

So finished it last night I loved it. Capcom did a good job. Of course it showed how RE 3 Remake deserved better. But if you liked RE 4 remake its well worth the $10

But if you liked RE 4 remake its well worth the $10 Honestly, REmake 3 could have been a REmake 2 DLC. I know the original game was a lot smaller but they could have easily fleshed it out. There's five or six spinoff games that all take place during the Racoon City outbreak, they couldn't repurpose anything from those games?
