It looks like the only way to get your hands on the motion controlled version of Resident Evil 5 will be to repurchase the game when it's released as the Alternative Edition next year. Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi explained that the size of the new content would be 'too big to be DLC'. The Alternative Edition also contains a new 2 hour scenario surrounding Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. There will also be a new game mode, teased Takeuchi.

360 - Resident Evil 5 - Bring Back Outbreak Campaign

HellDescent writes: "Members of Capcom-Unity have created a campaign to bring Resident Evil: Outbreak to modern consoles. The fans either want a port/remake or a completely new sequel to the Outbreak series. There's a multitude of links to petitions and even avatar and signature images to help promote the cause further. Resident Evil 5 was all about partners and teamwork but a modern Outbreak would be fantastic. Something along the lines of a more serious and scary Left 4 Dead would be great. So check out the thread and give them your support."

Resident Evil: Afterlife Date Changed

360 - Resident Evil 5 - Resident Evil: Afterlife Date Changed

Hell Descent writes:
Paul W.S. Anderson's next Resident Evil film will not be releasing in September as previously stated, but a little earlier on August 27th. Apparently Anderson who is both the writer and director has been researching nearly every 3D film to hit the big screen to be ready for his first foray into the 3rd dimension of cinema. Our guess is that he needs to find some ways to incorporate 3D scenes without forcing them. Since Afterlife is supposed to be a reboot, we'll just pretend Extinction never happen and pray this film stays at least a mile from the source material.

EEDAR: Marketing Key to Resident Evil 5 Success

360 News from N4G | Resident Evil 5

360 - Resident Evil 5 - EEDAR: Marketing Key to Resident Evil 5 Success

IndustryGamers recently reported on new findings from the folks at EEDAR. The firm's latest report, revealed this week during the [a]list Summit by Ayzenberg Group, showed that the top 10 selling games this year through June have been mostly dominated by older titles like Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii. There were a few exceptions, and Capcom's blockbuster Resident Evil 5 was one of the big ones. The game is second in sales this year so far, only to Wii Fit. In fact, it's sold close to 2 million in the U.S. and around 5 million globally, making it the most successful entry in the franchise yet.

So what did Capcom do differently this time? Besides the fact that they made a very good game, the marketing team really kicked it up a notch prior to launch, and this was critical to the title's success, EEDAR points out.
