Biohazard 5 supports Sony Motion Controller!!!Sweet!!
Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition is currently slated to arrive in Japan on the PlayStation 3 this spring, under the title Biohazard 5: Alternate Edition. Notably, the game will support Sony's new EyeToy-compatible motion controller, which reports indicate will launch in March.
Capcom hinted that an Xbox 360 edition of the game is also planned. "In regards to the Xbox 360, a lot of fans have enjoyed the game on the console. So we are working to release the additional content in another format, as a product." Project lead Miho Suzuki did not mention if the title was one of the Project Natal games which Capcom is currently developing.
As the biggest change from the original Resident Evil 5, Alternative Edition will feature game controls that make use of Sony's recently announced Motion controller. For series fans, another big change is the addition of a new episode featuring Chris and Jill. The episode will be based on the flashback scene from the original RE5, where the two characters infiltrate the Spencer estate in Europe.
"It was a key incident in Resident Evil 5, but it was only there as a flashback scene," Miho said. "In Alternative Edition, you'll actually be able to play through it. We had a lot of requests from fans about it."
Suzuki said that the Alternative Edition is currently only slated for Japan. Capcom's North American representatives had not responded to requests for additional comment as of press time.

Motion controller talk in TGS 2009
TOKYO--With Sony Computer Entertainment head Kaz Hirai delivering a keynote at the opening of the Tokyo Games Show today, many expected some new announcements to be made. But what Hirai delivered instead was a fairly news-less speech, with the only notable fact being that the new Slim PS3 had sold more than a million units within three weeks of launch.
But that's not the end of the Sony news, however. At a press conference held later in the afternoon, Sony confirmed that the new motion controllers for the PS3 would indeed be available in Spring 2010, But more importantly, the company revealed what first-party games would actually be supporting the new technology. Ape Escape, Echochrome 2, Eccentric Slider, Sing and Draw, Champions of Time, Motion Party, The Shoot, and Tower will be new games which will incorporate motion controller use from their release. Other games such as PAIN, Flower, Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling, and Eye Pets will be made compatible via downloadable updates.
Also announced are new accessories for the yet-to-be-released PSP Go. A Bluetooth Stereo headset and a converter cable adaptor will be released on December 24, 2009, in Japan, at a recommended retail price of ¥4,980 ($54.58) and ¥1,980 ($21.70), respectively. Sony has confirmed that these two accessories will eventually make their way to North America, Europe/PAL territories, and Asian countries and regions beginning January 2010.
