Earlier tonight during Sony's TGS 2009 press conference, Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition was revealed. This version will make extensive use of Sony's Motion Wand controller that is still currently in development.
Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition is slated for release in Spring of 2010 in Japan, right around the time the Motion Wand is slated for release. With Microsoft also working on a motion control system, it is unknown as to whether or not Alternative Edition is a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
The new edition makes use of Sony's latest Motion Wand controller. Graphically it looks the same as the original Resident Evil 5, except for an added cursor on screen reflecting your motion control movements. You play with one hand holding the Wand and the other a Dual Shock 3.
Besides motion controls, the game has additional content as requested by fans, Takeuchi said.
