It's about time. Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode is available now on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The new mode is called "Survivors" where players are fighting other players online and score points for successful strikes against each other. Being attacked by another player reduces your own score, to a minimum of zero. Read more . . .

Follow up:

After a successful attack, the score for the move will be displayed in the top right of the attacker's screen and added to that player's running total. Correspondingly, the victim of the strike loses 50 points for any and all attacks suffered. Whoever inflicts fatal damage on another player will earn a bonus 3,000 points. Deaths by Proximity Bomb or exploding oil drum will also be attributed for score purposes. If a player dies (for any reason, either in a monster attack or by another player's hand) then they lose 1,000 points.

So I'm really pumped about this. I recently finished the story mode and with it being multiplayer (which is a plus) I found myself wanting more. I didn't have to wait long for this. (I about wet myself when one of those alligators jumped out at me LOL)
