New Resident Evil 5 Content via DLC or Re-release? Capcom Wants Your Take
by Chris Faylor, Oct 06, 2009 3:50pm PDTWith an enhanced "Alternative Edition" of Resident Evil 5 coming soon to Japan, maker Capcom has opened a poll to help determine if the new content should instead hit North America as downloadable content for those that already own the game.
"[The physical re-release] makes absolutely perfect sense for the Japanese gaming market, where the uptake of digital content is a bit behind the western markets," Capcom's Chris Kramer explained in a blog post accompanying the poll.
For votes to be counted, users must have registered and logged into Capcom Unity.
"However, based on the success of the RE5 'Versus' downloadable content, as well as digital-only titles like Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Marvel VS Capcom 2, we know that the demand for DLC in the west is huge...We're gonna let the poll run for a few weeks, then present the team with the results and our recommendations."
Due in Japan on PlayStation 3 next spring, RE5: Alternative Edition packs a new mission and PlayStation Motion Controller support. The new content is also due on Xbox 360 in some form, though it had been reported as being too large to be downloadable.
The company has yet to specify if the new content will arrive on PC as well.

If it's DLC, I will probably get it.
If it's a whole new box of the game, I definitely won't.

I guess all I care about is price. If it means I have to pay a lot of money to buy the game I already have again then I'll skip it. Ditto if it's DLC and overpriced.
But I don't see why they can't release it as DLC as well as shipping a new bundled disc to retail for people who don't already have the game (or don't have Internet or something).
before the current console gen:
-patch: fixing bugs and sometime adding content
-dlc : some type of sandwich
-expansion: adding a LOT of content to a game, same engine more content
-whatevergame 2: sequel to a game with a new engine
current console gen:
-patch: bug fix
-dlc: adding more content not enough to be an expansion but since ppl are willing to pay for what used to be in patches.. why not uh?
-expansion: RIP
-whatevergame 2: what used to be expansion
