What’s New / Different Compared to the Standard Edition
- You get multiple gameplay modes (especially the Third Person Mode) that are not available in standard edition without buying DLC. residentevil.com+2residentevil.com+2
- More replayability: additional modes, new story (“Shadows of Rose”) give more content beyond the main campaign. residentevil.com+1
- Value‑bundle: instead of buying DLC separately, Gold Edition packages them together. Xbox.com+1
Things to Know / Possible Drawbacks
- In some cases, especially pre‑release, users noted that although they purchased the Gold Edition, parts of the content (or even the base game) might only unlock on a certain date (e.g. when DLC releases). Reddit+1
- The Third Person Mode is a nice bonus, but not all players prefer it — since the game was originally designed around first‑person, some mechanics feel different.
- If you aren’t interested in the extra story or mercenary modes, or prefer just to experience the base story, it may be more economical to get standard version + only the DLCs you want.
