Resident Evil 5 To Be Compatible With Sony's Motion Controller

The newly announced Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition will be compatible with Sony's motion controller.

At Sony's Tokyo Game Show Press Conference, they revealed that Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition will be compatible with Sony's motion controller. Both are scheduled for a spring 2010 release.

The new controller will also be made compatible with existing games such as LittleBigPlanet, Flower, and more.

Resident Evil 4 was also remade with motion controls as Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, which sold more than a million copies.

I'm all about pointer controls for RE5, but the setup they were using to demo that was all sorts of weird. So I have to hold a PS3 controller in my left hand and the wand in my right? Though I'd have to shell out some more cash, I'm hoping Sony releases a Nunchuk-like peripheral that can also be used to make the setup less cumbersome.

I might actually play RE5 now...

Controllers do seem awkward, though.

In my Honest Opinion.. I need more then this to get me to buy this Game again. Just seems so little. Now unless this gets a Price worthy say $30-$40 I may think about it but Full price will turn me off.

I just think they need more content, but hey RE4 on Wii did Fine so what do I know

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
