Forums - Gaming - Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition Well Be Released As DLC

Remember when Capcom conducted a poll asking how we wanted to receive the additional content being offered in Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition -- in a boxed version of the game or as a DLC expansion to the original? Turns out the questionnaire wasn't a pointless exercise. A majority of the participants answered that they'd rather receive the new features (including motion-control functionality) as a downloadable pack. After deliberating with the RE5 team in Osaka, Capcom has announced that the new content will come to the U.S., Europe and Australia as DLC for the core game.

Considering Alternative Edition is going to Japan in a retail box, this move is fairly surprising. Perhaps even a little upsetting, if you've gone ahead and traded your copy of the game in towards the cost of Horse Life Adventures. Even more upsetting if you did that today. Like, right before writing this post. Gah!

 

yeah didnt really like re5 that much just liked the last half of the game with the lickers but ill be gettin this only for the prequel mission and not for the motion, good to hear i dont have to pay 40-60$ for a retail game, the mission with chris and jill looks to be good as it takes us to past environments like a mansion

although i wouldnt of minded the new box art with the new ps3 slim logo on it so i wouldnt have that many games with the old logos to clash with my new games with the new logos

The DLC looks like it will be better than the actual game...
Capcom taking hints from Rockstar?

If it's 10$ or less, I'll buy it.
