New Resident Evil 5 content may also come to Xbox 360

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...
RKN @ Sep 30th 2009 11:27AM
Hope this extra content comes to the PC as well, the PC just got the game in September!
Sonic_13 @ Sep 30th 2009 11:29AM
Great, now bring it to Wii.
Fluorescent Octopus @ Sep 30th 2009 11:39AM
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.
FNG @ Sep 30th 2009 11:39AM
WTF is a Wii?
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 30th 2009 11:45AM
Resident Evil 5 don't work on Wiis unless you got POWER
eNrique @ Sep 30th 2009 12:09PM
The wii can't even render the menu screen, nuff said.

Nice BTTF II reference, Captain Planet.
Mics @ Sep 30th 2009 12:27PM
@Captain Planet
Nice BTTF2 reference! It's pretty subtle but still awesome. I wonder how many other people got that.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 30th 2009 12:39PM
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!!
HeXeN {KevinConroyDefeatsBatman} @ Sep 30th 2009 2:08PM
@Cody
Yeah the Wii couldn't possibly afford to have any sucky games in it's line up *rolls one eye*
Cody @ Sep 30th 2009 2:33PM
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.
Sly (Now equipped with DS!) @ Sep 30th 2009 6:20PM
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.
Sonic_13 @ Sep 30th 2009 7:38PM
@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.
BloodiedWraith @ Sep 30th 2009 11:29AM
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.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 30th 2009 12:05PM
You know, you could always rent the game to play the "extra" content.
RKN @ Sep 30th 2009 11:31AM
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
BloodiedWraith @ Sep 30th 2009 11:38AM
I'm pretty sure I'm cancelling my preorder because I want to wait for Super Turbo Hyper Lost Planet 2 HD Colonies Edition.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 30th 2009 11:41AM
LODST Planet?
Solace @ Sep 30th 2009 11:33AM
Why couldnt they just patch the controls in and put the rest up as DLC?

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

"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.

But I can't move that riged. How am I supposed to play? With a board tied to my back?
Hydrophobicfish (PSN: HydrophobicFish) @ Sep 30th 2009 11:59AM
And arms and legs.
Slam Vanderhuge @ Sep 30th 2009 11:40AM
Sweet...because I probably would have bought it again otherwise. Damn completionism.
Cj @ Sep 30th 2009 11:46AM
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.
Deegan @ Sep 30th 2009 4:41PM
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.
Ghaleon @ Sep 30th 2009 11:57AM
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.
mywhitenoise @ Sep 30th 2009 12:20PM
either that, or an RE2 remake.
fohf @ Sep 30th 2009 1:53PM
I agreed with you all the way up to your last sentence.
Ben @ Sep 30th 2009 2:31PM
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.....
Deegan @ Sep 30th 2009 6:00PM
I think the team is interested in trying new things, not just rehashing the glory days over and over.
ColorblindMonk @ Sep 30th 2009 12:10PM
Hm, I hope it'll definitely be worth the $10.
Adeese @ Sep 30th 2009 12:23PM
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.
TRACE @ Sep 30th 2009 2:12PM
"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.
Douche Bigalow @ Sep 30th 2009 2:23PM
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?
Ben @ Sep 30th 2009 2:24PM
How will you walk without a joystick on the controller?
bm @ Sep 30th 2009 3:09PM
Jill in the spencer mansion huh... will that mean we'll get a snippet of real RE gameplay again?
jaaaaaaaaaaames @ Sep 30th 2009 4:54PM
if they made RE4 on iPhone they can make RE5 on the wii :)
JACK @ Oct 1st 2009 6:26AM
lol ..Yeah RE4 pwnz.
of topic try Mgs for Iphone not bad at all.
HeroOfTime32 @ Oct 1st 2009 12:06PM
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
