Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition, was one of the best announcements we’ve gotten during TGS 2009. Not only is it a new version of a fantastic title (read the review), but it also supports the PS3 Motion Controller.

    It’s nice to see that the motion controller is really being supported. It does really need game support. If there would be alot of games supporting this, I don’t know what would happen to Wii.

    l’m 100% postive that this motion control will make this game better than it was before

  3. The motion control will make it interesting, but there are still other things that need to be fixed also.

Maybe they’ll put out a special controller [nunchuk...] to remedy that and leave the DS3 as an option for cheap bastards.

    I bet that “DLC” is already on the game disc, just like the multiplayer “DLC”. As the old idiom goes “Fool me onc, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

    Pass, but thanks for the information, Massi. I liked the video, too.
