Capcom’s revealed that the DLC included with its Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5 was originally to be included with the game when it was released last March.

Producer Yasuhiro Anpo confirmed on his blog that both Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape could have appeared as an in-game extra.

The reason for the omission was due to the production budget.  In fact, instead of using live scenes with the game, Capcom considered using comic style cut-scenes, but in the end decided against it.

Instead, proper cinematics are being used for both pieces of DLC.

The Gold Edition of RE5 releases on March 9 for PS3 and 360 in the US.

As for when the announced DLC will see release on PSN and Live separately, find more info here.

Why would they reveal this?

capcom be trollin'

^ So they can laugh at all the people that already bought the game ^_^

Shouldn't they have waited til some time after the release of RE5 Gold Edition to say this?

Why?

a bit stupid move in term of PR

but, at least, it is honest ...

Actually i dont know, nvm lol.  I just felt it made RE5 Gold Edition seem less appealing.

So.. when are we supposed to blame the 360 for this?? :P
