Official TGS 2010 Website

It's already September, which means the Tokyo Game Show is right around the corner. For those unfamiliar with this annual event, TGS is a venue where new game products are announced and known games demoed to the press and general audience. Virtually every major gaming company except for Nintendo will be in attendance, including Capcom. In recent years, TGS has been the venue for people in Japan to try out Biohazard titles before release. TGS 2007 featured Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles. TGS 2008 featured Biohazard 5. TGS 2009 featured Biohazard Darkside Chronicles and a trailer for Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition.

What will TGS 2010 have in store for Biohazard fans? Capcom has yet to announce their TGS booth content. Biohazard Revelations for the 3DS will probably not be playable, but a trailer is certainly possible. Biohazard 5 Alternative Edition with PlayStation Move compatibility might be at the show since the Japanese release of that update is in October. We also heard recently of the chance Biohazard 6 might be shown at TGS 2010. We also never heard anything about Biohazard Portable, after it was announced for the PSP at E3 2009, so if that still exists, this would be a good time to tell people.

Whatever ends up being announced at TGS 2010, Biohaze will be there to report it live! As with last year's TGS, we have set up a Biohaze @ TGS Twitter account in order for updates to be reported on the spot. Once again, I (cvxfreak) will be the Biohaze correspondent. For your reference, I will report non-Biohazard or non-Capcom news on my personal Twitter account. So be sure to follow us on Twitter during TGS and hopefully there will be many new announcements for Biohazard fans.

During a Dead Rising 2 promotional trip to Spain, Keiji Inafune talked to "3DJuegos" about the two upcoming games on the series: Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil: Revelations:

"Given the great success that Resident Evil 5 supposed for us, we want Resident Evil 6 to be released to the market as soon as possible. In fact, you will shortly have news from Capcom about this…"

As for RE: Revelations, he commented that Capcom is very fond on the Nintendo 3DS becuase they think it's a platform that will offer many possibilities both for the developers and gamers:

"We want this title to keep the essence of the series, and at the same time, have the highest quality to impress the fans. Personally, I'm very excited about this project."

More details about both titles are expected to be revealed during TGS 2010 (September 16-19).

Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition Re-release [PS3]

Jul 29, 2010 1:53 - 11 comments - Mr. Rod

The official PlayStation blog announced today that all new copies of Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition after September 19th in NA, will come with Move support on disc. A free patch will be released for current RE5 Gold Edition users close to the Move launch date.

Capcom explained why the free patch can't be applied to the original version of the game:

A representative from Capcom explained [...] that PlayStation Move controls require a memory resource. When Capcom developed the original version of Resident Evil 5 the team didn’t know about Move and used the memory resource for another feature. After Capcom saw PlayStation Move, they freed up a memory slot for PlayStation Move controls.
