It wasn't the main selling point... Alternative Edition= japanese exclusive and it was the only confirmed version to receive Move support.
The Gold Edition was not going to or never confirmed until now.

I think you're confussed. Alternative Edition is just the subtitle for the japanese market afaik, it was never exclusive.
If you wanna save $30 bucks, Sony has confirmed at E3 that you can use a DualShock 3 pad with the Move instead of the navigation controller.
They show how that works here (TGS '09)

P.S. I dunno about how it woks on RE5 and Move, but RE4 with the Wiimote is for me, the only way to play said game. Not going back to analogs with that game, anytime soon.![]()
^ I think it must be roughly the same than RE4 Wii, which is the superior version of that game both controls and conten-wise.
Yeah, I think people are getting confused because it was announced as Alternative Edition in Japan well before they were certain how they'd be releasing the DLC outside of Japan. They never said Gold didn't support Move, they said Move was pushed back so the feature wouldn't be available when the title was released but would support it when Move came out.
If I had a PS3 I'll give it a shot, but I don't so ah.
As if I could predi... nevermind -- it's capcom. shit. I should have known they'd release x amount of ports, before they finally release the 'were-ripping-you-off edition'... so, I guess when/if Resident Evil 6 is released, i'm going wait a year or two before purchase. Or, just not buy it at all.That's kind of your own fault, not Capcom's.I spent 100$ on the initial release, plus all that $ for the DLC, and the PC version
To hell with this crap/franchise.
It's funny you blame a company (whose business is to sell and eventually re-release products) for your own spending. No one but you are the responsible of "ripping yourself off", so to speak.

I brought the Gold Edition out of pure laziness about 2 months after the DLC came out. Still haven't even played the whole thing because my PS3 died and the save went with it, meaning I'll have to replay the whole game again to unlock everything once more. This maybe the incentive for me to do it.
However that said, I think it's fairly shithouse for Capcom to screw over the early DLC adopters by not working on patching the original game to support the Move controllers.
Capcom did announce that the Gold Edition wasn't going to support move.
How can you say that they're the same thing? Alternative Edition= Japan, Gold= US/EU.
Do you really think that so many people would've downloaded the DLC if they knew about this? I can assure you that most would've gotten Gold instead.
But hey, it's perfectly fine.
No one is blaming them for the money we spent, we're blaming them for the lack of information that lead us to spend said money. I don't belive them when they say it's impossible to update the old RE5 to work with Move, they just don't want to.
Huh, it's just a title, it's different based on marketing and what's common in the different countries. Like the 20 or so different titles for the re-release of Silent Hill 2 - Inner Fears, Greatest Hits, Director's Cut, Saigo No Uta (whatever that means), Restless Dreams, or Resident Evil/ Biohazard - they're still the same games despite the different titles.
If Capcom USA said something about RE5 Gold, then they used that title because that's what it's called in USA, they wouldn't specify "this also includes the Japanese Alternative Edition". While differences between Jap and US releases of games happen, I don't think they planned move for Japan, but not US/PAL. That sounds ridiculous, unless you can prove otherwise!![]()
I still haven't opened my Gold Edition copy, I bought all the DLC on release day.
I'm on the edge with buying Move though, I have no PS3 Eye and I would need buy a nunchuck since the though of holding the DS3 in one hand for extended periods doesn't seem appealing, especially for quick reloading.
...but that is like £90 and the other 'hardcore' games that support it are mostly shooters where you can move and shoot at the same time which is where pointer controls suddenly fail competitively.
Gold Edition released about a week after the last of the DLC released. Seven months?

yeah, they also did that to RE4.. (and street fighter franchise too.)
according to wiki, though not sure if it can be trusted, AE has the Move support bundled with it while GE does not have. I read this after I bought GE, so i regreted it. (both GE and AE is sold here.) So it's good to know GE will have the move support as well for free.
You know, 'cause of how patching works on the PS3, it's kinda not just Capcom's fault, it's more of a platform issue![]()
Lol yeah I was wondering that myself. The guy clearly got it in for me now since I got him infraction points. He got something smug to say about anything I post. Carry on though its pathetic and funny. At first I thought he was a mastermind in pissing people off but now I realise I gave him way to much credit. I think he just needs a hug. Big cuddly Stu. Awww bless his cotton socks.
Yeah. Don't. I am deeply tired of this playground bullshit I've been seeing on the forums. I'm too old and far too unpleasant.
In the age of the internet, you could also look it up yourself.
