Today may be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Day, but that doesn't mean there isn't news on other franchises popping up. A while ago, Capcom asked you, the gaming public, how you wanted Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition. The people have spoken, and the new motion-controlled variant on Resident Evil 5 will be released as DLC. Here's the
word from Capcom's Chris Kramer:
And here's an example of Capcom Unity in action: based on your
feedback, in North American, European and Australia territories, Capcom
will be making the new RE5 content for both Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 available as downloadable content. You will not be asked
to purchase a new copy of the game just to get at the new stuff, just
make sure to hold on to your RE5 disc and you'll be ready to roll in Spring 2010 when we make available new Resident Evil adventures (and some other things we haven't told you about yet) for you. Keep that in mind when thinking about selling RE5 back or handing it off to a friend ;)
Alternative Edition was initially announced as a PS3 project, but Kramer mentions 360 as well, which is the first I've seen of any news on a 360 version. It's not a surprise at all, but interesting nonetheless.
