According to IGN, the game can be played either with the PlayStation Motion Controller or the motion controls of the standard Dual Shock 3 controller. The new episode was reportedly considered for the primarily release, but put off, and eventually deemed too large to be released as a downloadable add-on for the original game. As in Resident Evil 5, players can tackle the episode alone or in online/local co-op mode with each player guiding one of the two playable characters.

well okay at least you don't have to buy the new controller, but I take it you STILL have to buy the game again right?

[RDANIEL47]

well i think so girl but we have to wait for more info there talking about selling a seperate disc whit the dlc inside

[tristkiss]

i think they have to, they can't really expect everyone to buy the game twice, for one extra bit. if they threw in a ton of new stuff, okay. but i don't think they will. and after already spending over 100 cause i bought the collectors ed. with express ship, i do not see me spending 60 more! no matter how much i love this game!

"Jill fans always wanted to play as Jill." LMAO! Well, you know my opinion on this, Miss tristkiss. <3

This edition gives off that old original classic RE feel.

But gah, that new controller looks hard to work with! DX

Heh, well, I was hoping more Sheva and Chris scenarios, looks like not going to happen ;___;

Hope to hear more info from you or other sources on this. Most likely I won't be getting it. .__.

[tristkiss]

yup that controller is major bs! notice that you still have to use the reg. controller to play....talk about superfluous!! and it looks like a glow in the dark kids microphone! LOL

@MiraGhulag yea, you should have seen PROJECT NATAL. Tthat's the REAL motion control ;)

[abcborgess]

Is this the full game plus the additional chapter or only the additional chapter?

[young7yang]

hello everyone

DEAD SPACE

[MiraGhulag]

why people are shitting their plants when they see the motion control for the ps3? its not even a New concept!

they laughed at nintendo because of their motion control but now its ps3 they shit their pants

Hi tristkiss

According to Wikipedia, they will release Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition on a full retail disc for PS3 and Xbox 360 in February 2010 then they will release it as DLC for PS3 and Xbox360 in March 2010

I hope it helps clarify the matter

u sound drunk :D

[hehabomba]

i think the thing is last time they separated the vs mode and the game and we have to buy vs mode, then updated the trophy even if u didnt buy it, plus-vs mode sucks! then they want u to buy a completely new game, and it seems like there's not much content. to be honest, i am waiting for my friend to test it out first :P

[KazamaFan3]

It's been confirmed as DLC in Europe and America now. Plus they are releasing a new unanounced scenario as well as new characters for the mercenaries apparently.

They should've put this in the game as an unlockable location. I mean WTF? The game itself had so little content that it's over before you know it and it was retailed at full price. Now we have to pay separately for an "expansion" pack? I know it's busyness, but still. Anyways, it seems to be more puzzle solving oriented than the original RE5. I hope we get to see some zombies instead of parasites and stuff.
