Resident Evil 5 Directors Cut Detailed : Extra Episode Confirmed + 360 Version.

[xfactor]

I believe that's because for the PS3 version they have to implement the wand control scheme for the entire game, something which cannot be added simply as a DLC?

[Stu]

Of course it's something that could be patched in, there's not really anything they couldn't just patch in easily.

Retail releases, and DLC packages for both. It's obvious.

Basically, this Stu. I can't imagine the extra episode being any larger than a couple of hundred megs, it can very easily be done as a DLC on the 360 version, and god bless their greedy little asses if they decide to re release that as an entire new disc on the 360 too. Where as the PS3 version is being primed as a new product to go along the launch of the wand thing.

The prospect of playing through an eerie mansion with Chris and Jill gets my interest...but just how long could this scenario actually be?

Going on a limb, I would guess not longer than a standard full chapter in the regular game. They can always flesh it out a bit more, have an insertion scene, a couple of cave area's on the way to Spencer's estate. Maybe some set piece encounters with armed guards etc.

Well, it'll have new cutscenes and all (according to Patricia Ja Lee), so I don't think it'll be too light on size, but I'm positive they will release both a retail and DLC versions.

I'll get a retail version for the 360 if there's one. My RE5 copy is the metal cover version. I didn't get the normal RE5 as I find it hard to justify the purchase for an exact same game with just different cover, but its fine for Alternate Version.

Capcom should also add in the PC exclusives (the new costumes etc) and the Mercenaries DLC into the Alternate Version.

[Carnivol]

I'm going to be pretty damn annoyed if 360 ppl got this as DLC and the PS3 is only disc based because of the new "motion controls."

The PS3 DLC/Patching System Strikes Again!

I wish there would be a program to get a coupon like $20 off the new version if you already own Re5. Won't happen though.

Well, most game stores accept trade-ins for store discounts and such, right?

[Mr. Rod]

I read later today, though I could be wrong. Gonna check it again...

Yep, IGN at least said so:

Details on the extra content will be shown in a teaser movie at the Capcom booth later today.

[Yzak]

They didn't specifically say 360 was getting DLC, though. I admit, despite planning to get the game either way for PS3, I will be sad if we don't get a DLC for this either way. Especially since they not only hinted at people what they wanted as DLC, but hinted that they'd deliver it.

Mr. Rod: but in Tokio is 4:03 AM right now....

I wonder what they mean by "Alternative" Edition...is something gonna change? A certain character's fate?

But I hope it starts off with Chris & Jill somewhere outside of the estate, so that the game will at least be a little long. It wouldn't make much sense for the enemies to be ganados/majini since Chris first encounters them in Africa, so just maybe we might get some zombies? I think they created some animations for them from scrapped versions of RE5.

It just occurred to me, and I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned this, but didn't D.C. Douglas mention in his interview with UnwiredTV that he had recently done some voicework for a prequel that was separate from The Darkside Chronicles? I guess this is it.

Yep, pointed out before but a very valid point none the less. I don't expect them to keep the overlapping scenes from RE5's flashbacks EXACTLY the same, there's probably gonna be a whole lot of dialogue from each character now.

Would be awesome if we get the full Wesker/Spencer conversation, starting with them showing Wesker wrecking some shit on Spencer's guards and entering his chambers and whatnot. (If you've seen Underworld 2, I'm thinking something like when Marcus goes to visit the vampire historian).

I probably wouldn't put too much thought into that. Japan + English = Failure.

Resident Evil 5 - Wesker May Cry
(You know, I actually really do miss games which feature levels/characters with entirely different gameplay)

It's funny you mention that. I always thought it would be kind of cool to see a Devil May Cry-styled action game starring Wesker, especially when you consider Devil May Cry pretty much started out that way, except with Dante instead of Wesker.

I almost wonder if they'll flesh out the reunion between Chris, Jill, and Wesker at the Spencer Estate. It wouldn't necessarily be a contradiction, either, since what we saw in RE5 was just a brief flashback, and we don't know just how much Chris was willing to actually tell Sheva about it at the time. He could have simply given her a CliffNotes version.

With any luck 2 hours .

Oh well, hopefully this is a barrage of fanservice vis a vis the monsters. Unless Spencer has soldier sentries, which would make a hell of a lot more sense.
