Resident Evil fans with access to the PlayStation Network have had plenty to smile about over the last few weeks. To celebrate the series’ 15th anniversary, Capcom and Sony recently made the first three games in the franchise free to PS Plus members, and also offered them 50% off the HD versions of RE4 and Code Veronica X.
Capcom has announced that the update to make Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition for the PS3 compatible with the PlayStation Move is now available.
Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, which includes the episodes Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape, is scheduled to hit shelves on the 3rd of March. Today Capcom revealed the box art for the game, along with a new trailer that explains the chronology of the episodes.
The Gold Edition of the game will include the original game plus additional content: two new episodes as well as all new playable characters for the Mercenaries Reunion and even new costumes. Gamers will be able to purchase the Gold Edition for $49.99 as a single Blu-ray disc for the PS3 while Xbox 360 players will be able to buy it as a DVD with a token for the downloadable content for the Xbox 360.
A new version of Resident Evil 5 is set to show up at retailers early next year that will include the original game, as well as all new content, such as new episodes and costumes, in the Alternative Edition that was announced at Tokyo Game Show earlier this year.
The Alternative Edition of Resident Evil 5 will be available as downloadable content (DLC), and not only includes a new gameplay episode (entitled Lost in Nightmares) featuring the adventures of Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, and another unannounced episode, but alternative costumes for all protagonists, including Sheva.
This content will be available as separate downloads, with the first episode and the first costume pack becoming available on February 17th and 18th on the Xbox 360 and PS3 respectively, while a second costume pack and the second gameplay episode will be available on March 3rd.
