Resident Evil 5: AE Bonus Mission Coming to 360 Written Wednesday, September 30, 2009 by Dan Webb Capcom and Sony announced a new edition of Resident Evil 5 at this year's Tokyo Games Show, the Alternate Edition, which will take advantage of Sony's new motion controller. The Alternate Edition features the original Resident Evil 5 package with controls made to fit with Sony's motion controller, and a bonus episode. The bonus episode is said to feature Chris and Jill in a scenario that takes places 3 years prior to the events that unfolded in RE5. The episode will be co-op like the original - replacing Sheva with Jill, will offer around 2 hours of gameplay, and players can expect more horror than anything on show in RE5. What does this mean for us 360 owners? Well Famitsu is reporting (via IGN) that the bonus episode will be made available for 360 owners in a different form. How they plan to deliver it remains to be seen though... DLC, disc? We just don't know yet, but at least you'll get the chance to experience it one way or the other. More details when it breaks. | |

 | Comment #1 by XvMav3rick007vX Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:26:02 AM its a shame i already got rid of this game |
 | Comment #2 by oXStarKillerXo Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:29:38 AM It's a shame this game sucked ass |
 | Comment #3 by StrikeFear14 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:29:50 AM @1 Yes, yes it is. *hugs his copy* |
 | Comment #4 by KingSigy Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:29:51 AM At least they are providing the content to 360 owners. This also supports my idea that you will be able to play the Alternative Edition with standard controls if you would like. There was talk of that version working with the original, so it really is a no brainer that his content will be on 360. |
 | Comment #5 by Jamerz101 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:30:02 AM Like most people, wasn't much point holding on, so i got rid of it too |
| Comment #6 by StrikeFear14 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:30:11 AM @2 No, no it didn't. *continues hugging* |
 | Comment #7 by darksidecow Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:30:54 AM cool i was telling my friend when we beat it that thought they should make a lvl about the point when they storm the castle and Wesker kicks there ass, good to hear some other people where thinking the way i was. |
 | Comment #8 by its delicious Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:36:36 AM To all those who got rid of the game, this should be a lesson. If you are prone to get rid of a game, don't buy it until it's been out for a couple years... Damn you, nickel-and-dime DLC! |
 | Comment #9 by DaChiefOfOwnage Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:39:18 AM Yay, Chris and Jill. "more horror than anything on show in RE5." You know what that means ;-) 18+ |
| Comment #10 by BounTyHunteR ZX Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:45:11 AM This is no a DLC its going to be a Whole new game its to big for DLC |
 | Comment #11 by Boyd H Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:50:43 AM @ #10 Yeah, two hours of gameplay really IS to big for DLC, isn't it? |
 | Comment #12 by Gentleman Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:50:47 AM Too big like Broken Steel, Point Lookout, The Pitt, Mothership Zeta and Operation Anchorage. Eh, #10? |
 | Comment #13 by Floodclaw Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 10:51:02 AM Hmm. I'm going to wait to see if this episode is actually any good. It better include Wesker in more than just an ending cutscene. |
 | Comment #14 by Tim1601 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:10:32 AM @ 10 Yeah it's about as long as the full game is, S-nap. But yeah I'd love to get a 2 hour episode as dlc as long as the price isn't too bad and it comes with some delicious achievements. |
 | Comment #15 by Markatansky Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:16:28 AM I wish companies would announce their DLC plans at the same time they release the game. I'm sick and tired of getting rid of games when I still haven't played all it has to offer because at the time of purchase, all it has to offer isn't all it has to offer. ¬.¬ |
 | Comment #16 by Jabbawocky Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:22:35 AM @10 Yeah cause GTA IV Lost and Damned was way too big for a download. lol. |
 | Comment #17 by Dude Rain Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:25:30 AM @10 They've upped the limit on DLC to 2GB. http://uk.xbox360.gamespy.com/articles/102/1028347p1.html |
 | Comment #18 by Di4L x MoTioNz Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:25:52 AM olol. I don't sell games so I get brownie points for being able to get this. Please make PS3 owners pay more for it (controller), and make it extra juicy with horror, as I haven't played anything that has made me turn away/puke/piss myself/lol. |
 | Comment #19 by danny hampson Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:32:30 AM i wish this would be natal compatable...if it works with the ps3 motion control then they should do it for the xbox360 |
 | Comment #20 by McKaystyles Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:33:39 AM they should have included it in the original, would have made it better than it was, it was pretty bad in my opinion, even though i got it 1st day. |
 | Comment #21 by ScuzzyBunny FTN Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:34:17 AM DLC is pretty much lose/ lose as far as when it is announced...certain games have DLC announced early, like Mass Effect, only to have it take forever, so you hold onto a game you beat, waiting, and waiting. Other games, Like Too Human, have DLC "hints" in the game itself (a frickin DLC store), yet it never shows up (as far as I know...I waited and finally got rid of it). Some games just drop stuff on you out of the blue, which angers you because you didn't know it was coming! No matter what, if it's added content for a good game, I am all for it. |
| Comment #22 by ScuzzyBunny FTN Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:36:31 AM ...oh, and one thing I absolutely HATE about current DLC practices, is updating a games achvs too early! Halo 3 had 1750 almost a year before it was possible to get it, and Star Wars TFU was about 2 months before the last content. Update XBL a week or so before, not months in advance! |
 | Comment #23 by Greg0fTheDead Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:41:29 AM if you think this game sucked ass you are a ****ing moron. |
 | Comment #24 by A Satyr Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:45:05 AM oh bitchin, i knew it was a good idea to hold on to this game |
 | Comment #25 by Chaosflare Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:48:14 AM Well, it's another item to add to collection. Gonna pick up a PS3 soon, so I'll more than likely buy both versions. |
 | Comment #26 by conel33 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 11:52:05 AM Hopefully it'l be disc so I can get it free off lovefilm but if it's dlc i'll still buy it. |
 | Comment #27 by Fakan Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 12:06:19 PM Still glad I only rented this game, even though I own almost every other RE game out there. |
 | Comment #28 by Jimbo76 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 12:11:45 PM Im glad i kept hold of resi. plus they should of gave us extra missions in the first instead of the god awful versus mode. |
 | Comment #29 by STONE DEVIL Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 12:13:25 PM @23 - i agree. How could anyone think this game sucked? Aside from Sheeva's AI, and the stupid extra achievements for a horrible online experience,it was great. |
 | Comment #30 by Bramwell420 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 12:17:25 PM RE5 wasn't a bad game, but if you've played every Resident Evil game and thought that RE5 lived up to it's potential...I don't know what to tell you. They've been setting up a Chris vrs. Wesker game since RE1 and you can breeze through the conflict in less than 4 hours. The game was way too short and not nearly scary enough. This game has needed an extra 2 hours of gameplay since the day it was released. Oh, and the multiplayer sucks. |
 | Comment #31 by MC Kazoo Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 12:31:24 PM I'm excited to see this. I would love anything they add to the series. Especially, RE5. |
 | Comment #32 by orange20 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 01:14:54 PM RE5 was not a bad game it just wasnt a good RE game. add that to the fact that sheeva was a pain in the ass when cpu controlled, and it made it a mediocre game at best. i couldnt stand to play this alone so once my friend got rid of it so did i. |
 | Comment #33 by SuperWoody64 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 01:23:41 PM I'd rather play with the controller anyhow. The only reason I preferred the wiimote for 4 was because the cube doesn't have dual analogs. (for that game) |
 | Comment #34 by muffinmastergw2 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 01:35:18 PM @1 im glad i traded it in 2 weeks after i got it and got about 40 bucks for it. PASS |
 | Comment #35 by silentbob0 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 01:57:07 PM This sounds awesome. Let's hope we get 2 hours of classic Resident Evil scares and atmosphere. It can't be any worse than what the main game turned out to be like. And #30, I agree with you 100%. The game was a real kick in the teeth of old Resident Evil fans. |
 | Comment #36 by CheesyToast111 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 01:59:42 PM Meh, might pick it up if its ever on that deal of the week thing. |
 | Comment #37 by TheFragileArmy Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 02:24:58 PM I would get this... if it was a single player mission. Forced co-op RUINED this game. |
 | Comment #38 by EverybodysRival Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 02:28:59 PM I agree with #14 |
 | Comment #39 by snake2895 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 02:59:00 PM Free content for the recently released PC version Capcom you tools lol. |
 | Comment #40 by pittsburqe Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 03:02:37 PM #10 so I guess gta 4 TLAD was to long as well as fallout 3 DLC as well ? |
 | Comment #41 by The Bum-Mobile Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 03:11:26 PM Really enjoyed RE5, sounds like the new level is going back to it's roots with "more horror". I'll surely download if it's made downloadable. If I have to buy a disc? We shall see... |
 | Comment #42 by FuriousAli007 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 03:18:54 PM It better be a DLC I am not buying a disc for 2 hours of gameplay. Unless it's like a directors cut special edition with more multiplayer content. |
 | Comment #43 by Imperium 36CF Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 03:24:56 PM Resident Evil games are ever so slowly creeping away from it's core ideas and gameplay. I miss backtracking when you find different items and unlocking new areas. They're just making this game more action orientated so more people buy it. Don't get me wrong I loved Resident Evil 4 and this one was ok, but i'd love to see the new one be more like Resident Evil 2 and the previous installments. |
 | Comment #44 by toonsage Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 03:51:32 PM ps3 is having a new controller o.o woahs what have i missed -.- |
 | Comment #45 by True Marvellous Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:14:21 PM 2 hours claim the devs in reality that will = 30 minutes they always grossley over estimate. |
 | Comment #46 by tpb Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:16:03 PM DLC please... - not gonna rebuy the game just for an extra 2 hrs of play.... which as #45 says - wont be 2hrs at all! |
 | Comment #47 by Pearson Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:28:23 PM Hopefully this new mission will take on the persona of an RE or RE2 and a thrill to play. I liked RE5 and 4 as they weren't too bad, but I prefer a much slower game like the other games in the series. I will be getting this if it comes to the 360. I'm not sure what is on the horizon for RE6, but if what Jun Takeuchi is true, then 6 will be going back to its roots. |
| Comment #48 by ispoody 1243 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:31:05 PM RE isnt even a survival horror anymore, RE4 RE5 lost everything that made me love RE1,RE2,RE3 |
 | Comment #49 by TristanValendro Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:49:02 PM I agree #48, it's more action movie now rather than survival horror. Gone are the days of soft piano music and holding a pistol with only a few rounds left with the fear of something lurking behind the next door. |
 | Comment #50 by Dredgon Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 04:57:10 PM Hopefully DLC, because I'm not buying another disc for "2 hours"!!!!! |
 | Comment #51 by Dave of Canada Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 05:10:35 PM Hopefully it features real zombies, instead of angry black people spouting things. |
 | Comment #52 by Thrall51906 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 05:12:03 PM @ 10 your stupid. |
 | Comment #53 by MongolianSlayer Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 05:19:25 PM I'm sorry but this series has fallen way too far from its roots for me to get excited about it anymore. It is not remotely like what it used to be. While 4&5 were great games in their own right, they should have been a totally different franchise and kept the original formula for Resident Evil titles IMHO. |
 | Comment #54 by VladimirK Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 05:55:04 PM Gonna be looking forward to this. Really liked RE5. |
 | Comment #55 by elephantd Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 06:00:03 PM If it has achievements i will play other then that pass. |
 | Comment #56 by braddelo Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 06:25:19 PM @55 Good attitude! |
 | Comment #57 by Schism Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 07:19:05 PM i hated this game. they killed the story in this one and i hated the "forced" co-op. the game had potential but to me they ruined RE with this game. the story made NO DAMN SENSE! did anyone like the multiplayer? and dont say "for the achievements"...did anyone actually Enjoy the multiplayer? sorry for writing alot :P |
| Comment #58 by SuperWoody64 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 07:28:01 PM #48, I agree. I liked 1-3 where you pretty much are in a static environment. The level system and removal of puzzles pretty much turned it into just another 3rd person shooter. The story is what I like and will keep me coming back but the 1st game is what hooked me. I'd love to see them re-release 1-3 with the 3rd person perspectives instead of fixed cameras. I guess 0 also but I never played that one. |
 | Comment #59 by Arcade R0b0t Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 07:35:17 PM such an amazing game. i'm thinking about selling this game. buts its such a classic. you know what. i am not. i really hope when they say "and players can expect more horror than anything on show in RE5." they really mean it because i did not get scared in RE5. so come on capcom. make it scary! the only games that have made me jump were bioshock, and fear2. oohh and the suffering for ps2. |
 | Comment #60 by DrZMvP554 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 07:51:06 PM thank god, i hope its scares the pants of people, thats the RE ive been hopeing for, cuz RE5 wus just not scary at all, gears of war 1 was scarier than RE5 |
 | Comment #61 by bossvegeta1 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 07:56:25 PM I guess I get it. |
 | Comment #62 by samjustsam Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 08:05:40 PM hopefully we'll get it as dlc. some additional chievos would be nice as well. i got 920 gs for this and would like to break 1,000 for it. btw- @2 epic fail. its a great game. |
| Comment #63 by samjustsam Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 08:18:25 PM @43 loved resident evil 2. would buy it again for the arcade if they inproved the graphics and added achievements to it. dont have my dreamcast version anymore and would love to play RE2 again. |
 | Comment #64 by Veteran Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 08:39:20 PM @62 just get the 1200 it's easy. |
 | Comment #65 by em0 pie Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 08:45:07 PM @48 ah spoken like a true resi fan i miss the old days of terror now im lucky if i get a little jump the original should be remade for 360 lol although its been remade like 70,000,000 times already... |
| Comment #66 by EvilPuggy Wednesday, September 30, 2009 @ 08:54:04 PM that's good news. I still want this game. :] |
 | Comment #67 by Santaslave Thursday, October 01, 2009 @ 12:30:53 PM Here's the deal: RE5 = a bad RE game, but a good non-horror action game. |
 | Comment #68 by Acid Mother Thursday, October 01, 2009 @ 01:43:30 PM Anyone who thinks this is a good RE game is delusional and needs to experience the original games to realize it. Figures we finally get RE on the 360 and it's crap. |
| Comment #70 by wardie_phil Friday, October 02, 2009 @ 09:33:14 AM i heard the rumour there be more multiplayer maps and characters as well months ago i hope that comes true. |
 | Comment #71 by pined5551 Thursday, November 19, 2009 @ 04:54:26 PM I'll laugh if its another 2MB DLC download, haha, again, they sell us something that we alreay own. |
 | Comment #72 by Iv AJay vI Friday, November 20, 2009 @ 02:54:13 PM Yeah, whoever said this game sucks, I hope you get H1N1. Anyway, as long as this has new achievements, I can't wait. |
