Possible Alternative Edition Box Art Revealed

[Stu]

I don't think is real, saw this exact mock-box art ages ago.

There's a reason you saw it ages ago probably.

Sorry but wrong.. In Japan they will only release to Ps3
No Alternative Edition For Xbox360 in JPN

As already posted RIGHT BEFORE you.

[Stu]

Jill looks artificial... I'm sure that they could had picked some other image (better), but whatever...
Makes me wonder how will look the american cover...

Jill looks artificial...

There's a reason for this haha

I don't think the name "Alternative Edition" is very fitting. Alternative means something else you can try that is different from the other thing. This Alternative Edition isn't really an alternative. It is basically the same game, but with EXTRA stuff. So, "Director's Cut" would be a more suitable name.

I think I read a quote saying they thought they name "Director's Cut" implied the original release wasn't a full package and they seem to want to keep the image that it is.

About the whole "Jill looks too polished" thing: Pretty sure that's intended. It's like "Hey guys and gals! Check out Biohazard 5: Alternative Edition, NOW WITH 50% MORE JILL GAMEPLAY!" Seriously, the whole Lost in Nightmares scenario is what they're basing this marketing campaign around (well, moreso than Desperate Escape, obviously), and since Jill is such a well known character, they're gonna pretty her up and make her look super noticeable for that very purpose: To get people to buy the game. DOES it look too bright compared to Chris being all shadowed-out and whatnot? Yes. Does it look weird? Yes. Does this mean that it's a bad picture? No.

Hahaha.
You know what I mean, Big Stu. Instead Jill is a fictional character created with 3D graphics, this doesn't mean that she need to look artificial.

About the box art. If you check the Playasia link again you'll see it's been updated.

That cover was probably just a temporary one, they stuck up there (it no longer says "Only on Playstation")

I'm wondering why there's no mention of the new 'motion controls'. Could it be that Sony have dropped the idea? Or maybe just plan to add them latter...

Also, looks like this IS the official box art, Amazon.co.jp even is using it:

I sure there will be a mention of it on the back. Maybe if they sell the game in a combination pack with the wand it will say something about it.
