Namco also pulled it with Tales of Vesperia and Beautiful Katamari bullshit.

Just wanted to add that commands for the combos should be.

For Chris
From the Front: Hook ---> (Sheva) Knee ---> Haymaker
From the Back: Kick ---> (Sheva) Twist Kick ---> Backhand

From the Front: Twist Kick ---> (Chris) Kick ---> Skull Crusher
From the Back: Knee ---> (Chris) Hook ---> Spinning Back Kick

Basically, one player's gotta face the front of the majini and the other its back.

It's kinda neat how some of the melee moves were influences from Street Fighter; such as Sheva's Somersault, Wesker's Tigger Uppercut, Chris' Backhand, and

I've yet to get the 3 hit combo yet...oh welly. That said

Wesker also does 'Tiger Knee' if you have him attack while doing that fast run of his.

Long time since anyone showed Resident Evil some love around here, I guess the game was short and once people got through it once it was forgotten.

YouTube - Resident Evil 5 - Alternative Edition - with Jill Valentine! - HQ - Penpas TV

New version coming in March, kind of like a directors cut. Will feature the PS3 motion sensing control in addition to a bonus scenario with Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Basically capcoms way of saying "Yeah ok you were right, Sheva sucked we should of went with Jill".

A little disappointed its not going to be DLC but rather a release in itself. But it looks reminscent of old school RE and will most certainly be better then any POS on rails shooter Wii game.

Hopefully that extra chapter eventually comes out for PC, which is what I'm playing RE5 on. I'm a huge straight for Jill, so this interests me. The dildo controls I couldn't care less for, however.

The whole idea of holding the dildo in one hand and a Dual Shock in the other doesn't sound like it'll work. Just how many buttons are on the dildo anyway? Certainly not the 6 + start and analogue stick click that are on the remaining unattended side of the controller.

The screens look so good, they really should just redo Resident Evil 1 with RE4 viewpoint. That, or finally redo Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica with REmake engine. For the Wii.

I agree with Qwarky, A port for other consoles would be a good idea, Resident Evil 5 was okay, It was a good game.

But anything with Jill or Claire gets an instant win (And yes Even Degeneration) the screens looks so good, It kind of Looks like REmake but with the Resident Evil 4 gameplay.

And yes Resident Evil 2, and 3 remake =D

Edit: So is that gonna be like the Survivors Mini Game? Or like Ada's Sidestory? I'm sure they know that people will complain if they release the game on full price.

I think they said it will be slightly lower in price but still would be at least 39.99 but around 49.99. They havent said what else comes with it, but the entire RE5 game itself is included. Kinda sucks for people that bought it already, but oh well.

The game itself is based on the flashback sequence you saw in chapter 3-1 when Chris/Jill go after Spencer at his mansion/hideout. I am curious to see what kind of enemies they use since using BoW's wouldn't make sense in this situation.

Chances are they will still probably still use BoWs, like a modified but weaker version of Mr X, I'm speculating here but that would be awesome =D

Hmm, I wonder whether this will be DLC for the 360. I hope so since that's the version I bought. It not then I guess I'll dipping again for this (good thing I didn't buy the first version for the PS3).

Heh, and I always wondered what it would have been like to have played that flashback, when first playing RE5. Did they mention if the flashback was going to be integrated into the main story (something they should have done the first time around)? Or will it be accessed from the main menu (the most likely event)? And down with blond Jill!

And yes to a RE2 remake.

I believe I read that it will be separately accessed from the main menu, so that people with the Alternative Edition can still play the main story mode with people who only have the regular game.

Just as long as it doesn't require you to finish the game yet again, Then I'll purchase it

Well some news on the new "edition". I am not sure what they are calling it, I think its "Gold" but that could change for the NA release.

I don't feel like getting official links, but it seems they are including two chapters now. One previously mentioned mansion incident with Jill/Chirs(Pre re5). And Desperate Escape, which will feature Jill and Josh Stone escaping and eventually securing a helicopter to help Chris/Sheva.

On one hand it sounds kind of blah, but after looking at screens that show different areas not previously seen instead of reguritated places we already saw in 5. Theres some decent screen caps out there somewhere, it looks to me like Capcom is going to try to capitilize on Jill Valentine's popularity (wasnt even aware she was that popular). I'll pick it up, hopefully they include stuff for Mercenaries so I am not bored with it within a day.

It's Alternative Edition in Japan, and Gold Edition in NA (and I think Europe as well). And there is more Mercenaries content (called The Mercenaries Reunion, I believe), but so far all we know about it is that it just gives you new costumes/characters to use (some of which you have to buy in separate packs if you're going the DLC route). I imagine that's all the content it's going to be, since most of the other details have already been announced/leaked.

While it's just a bit more RE5, I'm still pretty excited for these two new episodes. RE5 was one of my favorite games from this year, so I'm glad that I'll be able to go back to the game (since I've already done everything the game has to offer currently). As long as the prices are cheap (they're only about $5 apiece in Japan, the only place where a price has been announced so far), I'll definitely jump on these day one.

I was thinking of picking this up, especially since it's been getting some very positive preview and review type comments (and because RE5 was great fun and more Jill is no bad thing), but since a lot of the fun was playing it co-op I was wondering if anyone else was doing so. If other people are grabbing this I might well do so and blast through it with someone.

I bought it last night, so that's one person.

I'm not going to speak for him, but Tritoch did mention he was considering it as well.

downloaded the new episode and patch but the new save patch 2.0 overlooks old saves and it's like i have to start all over! Anyone else having this problem because it's bullshit.

If you press yes, it should update your old file. Try deleting the patch into and redownloading, there was a fix for this on Capcom-Unity.

My copy of the Alternate Edition arrived yesterday, its like the developers purposely made each epidode as homage to the two types of RE games. LiN was a throwback to the original game, even has an easter egg to play briefly using the fixed camera angles. The Jill/Josh epidode reminds me alot of RE4...the intensity is much bigger then anything in the original RE 5 game.
