Jun Takeuchi and Miho Suzuki on Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition:
Quote:
- Capcom came up with the name "Alternative Edition" because the term "Complete Edition" didn't seem appropriate when considering the adequacy of the original package.
- Capcom wanted to place the new content in the original release, but felt that the game was adequate already, and wanted to get it released soon.
- When the original game was released, players expressed their desire to play as Jill.
- Capcom originally proposed to make the new content downloadable, but there was too much content for that.
- The game begins at the entrance of the Spencer Mansion featured in the flashback of the original game, but fans of the original Biohazard will certainly love the new content.
- The Spencer mansions in Biohazard and Biohazard 5 are indeed separate.
- The game is intended for the PS3 Motion Controller. The series' combat system warranted the addition of the motion controls. The game uses the Dual Shock 3 to move the characters, while the Motion Controller is used for attacking and other functions.
- All the DLC content for the original release can be enjoyed on the Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition disc. Players can play with or against players of the original Biohazard 5.
- Owners of the original can transfer their game saves, trophies, etc. to Alternative Edition.
- Capcom is thinking about adding new costumes and game modes as well.
- The blood in the main hall of the mansion symbolizes that an incident has occurred, and gamers will understand as soon as they step in what that incident was.
- The original Biohazard was a game that did not have a cooperative aspect to it, though Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition will have it in spite of their similar environments.
- The behind-the-shoulder camera will be used, although if you noticed from the screenshots, there are no enemies present…
- When asked whether the enemies with be majinis or zombies, with regards to this chapter, Capcom is making preparations for the type of enemies to be included, especially since the setting is Spencer's mansion, with him actually living there.
- Capcom believes the game will have the types of rooms and locations fans are expecting.
- Takeuchi finished just Jill's episode in 1 hour and 40 minutes, but that is because he is an experienced player. New players should take around 2 hours the first time. Of course, this isn't the only new content being included…
- Capcom understands that there are varying tastes for the Biohazard series up to this point.
- Players who both played through Biohazard 5 and have yet to try it will enjoyed Alternative Edition. Capcom would like buyers of the new PS3 Slim to try the game out, as well.
- Capcom is preparing the Xbox 360 version in a different form, and asks gamers to wait for more information on that in the future.

It's great because we're going to play in a REmake-like mansion with the RE5 style. Also, with the same characters.
