Interview : Famitsu
interview with Jun Takeuchi and Miho Suzuki (cvxfreak)
- 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.
