New Resident Evil 5 content may also come to Xbox 360

by Justin McElroy on Sep 30th 2009 11:20AM

When Jun Takeuchi surprised Tokyo Game Show attendees with a motion-controlled version of Resident Evil 5 (subtitled "Alternative Edition"), he also revealed some new included content, reportedly a flashback scene set in the Spencer Mansion featuring Jill Valentine.

According to an IGN translation of a Dengeki Online article, the new scene (and whatever else Alternative Edition includes) may not be constrained to Sony's platform. Dengeki says that the new content may come to 360, but in a "different format," possibly implying a DLC release on Xbox Live Marketplace.

It's great news, but keep in mind: there will only be motion control–support on one platform.

Glad to hear it coming to the 360.

Now about the PC...

Hope this extra content comes to the PC as well, the PC just got the game in September!

Great, now bring it to Wii.

I'm pretty sure the PS3 + Motion means they wont be doing a Wii version. PS3 gives them the same controls as the Wii but with more power, so you get the fuill game.

WTF is a Wii?

Resident Evil 5 don't work on Wiis unless you got POWER

Nice BTTF II reference, Captain Planet.

@Captain Planet

Nice BTTF2 reference! It's pretty subtle but still awesome. I wonder how many other people got that.

The Wii needs a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity needed to run Resident Evil 5.

I'm here all week.

RE5 is filled with too much suck for Wii. RE4:Wii Edition wouldn't allow it to share the same shelf space.

Can't wait for Darkside Chronicles!!

@Cody

Yeah the Wii couldn't possibly afford to have any sucky games in it's line up *rolls one eye*

lol very true when considering all the shovelware. Seriously, Wii is almost up to PS2 levels of shovelware by now.

By my original point being RE5 in comparison to RE4 in regards to all that it encapsulates. Hell, Darkside Chronicles is looking like RE2 compared to RE5.

cody, do you know what the difference with the PS2 was? it had more than 5 good games. much more. and graphics on the same level as the wii, which is pitiful if you think about it.

@Sly

Guess what?

Wii has way more than 5 good games. Much more. You're just being ignorant if you think otherwise.

Also, Wii may not have HD graphics, but PS2 can't come anywhere near the graphical level of Wii.

You judge a system by its best games, not its worst.

I really hope they release all the additional content as DLC for the PlayStation 3 as well. I don't want the motion controls and I don't really feel like spending an additional $59.99 for the same game, even though I want to play through the new scenario(s). Why does CAPCOM insist on punishing those that purchase their games on Day 1?

I'm so glad I don't like Street Fighter, or else I'd be mad about that, too.

You know, you could always rent the game to play the "extra" content.

Be mindful for those that purchase Lost Planet 2, there'll be a release 6 months later called Lost Planet 2: Waggle My Colonies Edition

I'm pretty sure I'm cancelling my preorder because I want to wait for Super Turbo Hyper Lost Planet 2 HD Colonies Edition.

LODST Planet?

Why couldnt they just patch the controls in and put the rest up as DLC?

2 words: Money Hungry

3 words:

Impossible To Patch

then care to explain How other games like LBP, Flower will get Motion Controller patched in?

4 words: Capcom is a business

4 more words: Businesses are for-profit

5 Words: Why are we counting words?

2 words: suck it!

...oh wait

"then care to explain How other games like LBP, Flower will get Motion Controller patched in?"

How the hell would I know?

I didn't know why I was downvoted, in fact I didn't say I disagree with what Kombat said. I just gave another possible explanation. Maybe some games can't be patched.

One word: Thundercougarfalconbird.

But I can't move that riged. How am I supposed to play? With a board tied to my back?

And arms and legs.

Sweet...because I probably would have bought it again otherwise. Damn completionism.

Ill certainly be buying this. A remade mansion from RE1? Yes please. If there are normal zombies I will explode. Please make RE scary again Capcom.

I think they are referring to the flashback sequences in the game involving Chris, Jill and Wesker, when Wesker captures Jill, not the 1998 events. Too bad though.

They should rerelease RE4 again with better textures or something and a new "flashback" on the next-gens, people would buy it ;) RE5 wasn't very good or fun.

either that, or an RE2 remake.

I agreed with you all the way up to your last sentence.

They should stop production of RE6 and remake RE0-3 and Code Veronica with next gen graphics, and include the option of playing through in fixed camera mode or over the shoulder mode as well as an unlockable version of the original version of each game. And redo 4 with better textures and higher resolution.

Yeah, that would be cool.....

I think the team is interested in trying new things, not just rehashing the glory days over and over.

Hm, I hope it'll definitely be worth the $10.

And here I was thinking about selling RE5. Not sure if I want to hold off on that just to see if this DLC (if it even is DLC) ends up being worth it or not.

"It's great news, but keep in mind: there will only be motion control–support on one platform.".....OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously- I think I can deal.

There were people who LIKED Resident Evil 5?

Easily the worst of the series, including the Outbreak fiasco. Zombies riding motorcycles, big fat zombies shooting chain guns, dog spawners in crates, anonymous locations, forced co-op ... ugh. Can't we have our Survival Horror back?

How will you walk without a joystick on the controller?

Jill in the spencer mansion huh... will that mean we'll get a snippet of real RE gameplay again?

if they made RE4 on iPhone they can make RE5 on the wii :)

lol ..Yeah RE4 pwnz.

of topic try Mgs for Iphone not bad at all.

Well, what I would actually like to see is something similar to what Retro Studios did with their Metroid Prime franchise in creating Metroid Prime Trilogy. If Capcom could or would release a "trilogy" of some sorts (whatever number required) with updated controls, and possibly updated graphics, then I do believe EVERY RE fan or survival horror fan for that matter would be in heaven! :0
