I'll most likely just keep the versions of the games I have now when I get SSFIV and RE5: DC. I used to trade in my games before but I've become sort of a collector now keeping the games I buy.

If I kept the old old versions I would glare at them with resentment everyday and clench my fist.

So there will be a 360 version? That's all I care about. Don't care if it's a stand alone disc or DLC, although DLC probably would've been better. But oh well.

I dont see how the controls would work with Natal so the only benefit would be this 2 hour mode. And even in the PS3 version you can play with a standard controller. So when Taekuchi says it will hit the 360 in "some form" I assume he means as as a download on XBL.

So Capcom has come out with the news that they are offering upgraded versions of two very recentely released games.

Thanks to Leo on SUPER SFIV:

Before we dive in, we should explain what Super Street Fighter IV is, and more importantly, what it isn't. This is not a downloadable add-on for Street Fighter IV. You may be wondering, as we did, why Capcom didn't simply release Super Street Fighter IV's additions as downloadable content in the same way that Fallout and Grand Theft Auto IV received massive updates by way of DLC. However, Capcom has decided that the new game will come on a separate disc. Ono explained that when Street Fighter IV was originally being developed, certain aspects of the game code weren't laid out in such a way as to support the features that are being added in Super Street Fighter IV. While Capcom had initially considered making SSFIV's content a download pack of some kind, it became clear that just tacking the new content onto the old game wasn't going to be possible. As a result, SSFIV will be released as a standalone disc that won't be sold at full price. But, the producer explained, before you get rid of your SFIV disc, be advised that SSFIV will offer current SFIV owners a bonus that Capcom isn't revealing at this time.

And I just updated today on RE5 Alternate edition:

Famitsu:

Famitsu has new information to Capcoms resident Evil 5: Alternative edition (jap. ' Biohazard 5: Alternative Edition') announced. Producer June Takeuchi says that there is a new episode with Jill, which is about two hours long in the play. These additional elements were planned already since the development normal resident of the Evil 5. However Capcom could not offer it as download, because the innovations and additions are much too large. With the Motion CONTROLLER can be steered not only the pistol, but also swung the knife. In the alternative edition is contained the normal original version of the game, equally is possible for co op play. Additionally it is to contain also a whole row at new costumes and of outfit.

Release: Spring 2010 (Japan)

Taekuchi confirmed RE5 alternate edition for 360. No word on the controls though.

So come on Capcom two recentely released games, two recentely revealed upgraded editions and two identical reasons for not having this as DLC.

"Capcom could not offer it as download, because the innovations and additions are much too large"

So this is a company that can port RE4 to the iPhone and mobiles. A company that ported Okami and RE4 to Wii as well as GC games that you could already play on the system like RE0 and REmake. A company that can triple pack DMC games. A company that can put out a million versions of Streetfighter 2 and put RE2 on PS1, DC and even.... an N64.

This is a company that will most likely port the Umbrella Chronicles games to the new motion controllers on PS3 and Natal.

Am I suppossed to believe that a few new costumes for RE5 couldn't be done as DLC? If this new content is only 2 hrs long then put it up seperately as a download RE on PSN. Sony have already said that games can be patched to include motion, Capcom couldn't do this for RE5? Nope, they saw how gamers lapped up RE4 Wii Edition and now want a second cash cow.

A few new characters for SF IV and a bit more? Come on, as IF this wasn't planned from the start. SFIV ships missing key characters like Dee Jay and T Hawk? And the title just so perfectly fits for the upgrade edition?

Do I think that the new versions are a good idea? Do I think they make commercial sense? Do I think people will enjoy them? Yes, yes and yes.

But please Capcom, don't BS us on the reasons why. I've read enough of their excuses on the ASK capcom boards to last a lifetime.

It's bullshit. Pure and simple. It doesn't matter that they've been pulling this for years, it's still bullshit.
