PS3

360

think amazon will PM this? ive been waiting for this to hit 20 bucks to pick it up. I wanted to do system link with it with some friends. Newegg has sales tax for me =(

by the way; is the ps3 or 360 version better for this? I seem to recall hearing the 360 version performed better but cant find the head 2 head now

Can anybody give me an opinion of how well this works w/ Move+Sharpshooter?

I think the 360 version may have slightly better performance/graphics but the PS3 version has superior controls if you have PS move. I have the PS3 version and it's one of my favorite games to use with the Move.

Not sure if this helps, might be outdated?

Not well. You need to hit some of the buttons on the Move during gameplay, so the Sharpshooter makes it almost impossible.

hmm i'll flip through that head 2 head. lens of truth is iffy though. This works with the move? wtf? really? Didn't this come out WAY before the move?

RE5 originally didn't have move support, but the Gold Edition added it. For me, move support > whatever performance advantages the 360 version has. I didn't notice any graphical issues or slowdown with my game but then again I didn't have a 360 copy to compare it to.

reading the comparison at eurogamer and a few others it seems the 360 version runs and looks a bit better. Considering i find the move a gimicky waste of time i think i'll go with the 360 version. Thanks for the info though.

The only question now is do i get it now or wait for amazon to PM. Everyone submit the prce! maybe i'll get one from newegg and one from amazon later if they PM

Thanks, how does Move vs. DS3 fair then? Not a big fan of standard RE controls. RE4 on the Wii was the last time I had fun playing RE.

I said this in another thread, but it applies here as well.. If you liked the Wii controls for RE4, chances are you'll probably enjoy the Move controls for RE5. They're pretty much the same except the aim cursor only appears on screen when you're aiming in RE5, so it resets every time you aim. I don't think there are camera controls for the Move like the Wii had for RE4, but I didn't use the d-pad enough to care. Was in a weird position for the Wii anyway. Also, if you use the dualshock controller you can sidestep, but with the Move controller you can't.

The most significant difference for Move vs. DualShock is the sidestepping I think. So either you get much more accurate/easier aiming or sidestepping lol.

The 360 version has the extra content on a token for the DLC. Whereas the PS3 version has all the extra content on one Blu-ray disc. So it's a toss up really. I want the PS3 version just because of the extra content on one disc. But I don't have a PS3 yet so...yea!

Dangit I just bought this for 23 something from amazon two days ago. WTF. I wish amazon would price adjust /pricematch. Damn oh well, its better than what i paid for it when i bought it from Best Buy for 39.99 plus tax then returned it bought a kindle card and boom bought two games for the almost price of one. just waiting for spiderman SD to drop to about 20 and killzone 3 to maybe 25 and im good.

I appreciate the thorough answer. And I'm convinced, definitely in for one.

Thanks for the heads-up! I was waiting for it to hit $20.

whoa, whoa. You sure about that? i HATE DLC bonus content. If I buy something with bonus stuff it should be included on the damn disc..it being just DLC may make me want the ps3 version instead. Blea maybe i'll wait until the morning to decide and hope its still up. DLC would be espeically weak here since i was planning on installing it on my main system and the backup one i have in the bedroom for system link play. That wont work if its a stupid code, unless i want to waste it on a made up Xbox live account >_<

Yeah, from what I remember RE5 Gold Edition for 360 comes with the original/regular RE5 disc with a DLC token. The PS3 comes with all of the DLC on the disc. There's a required install of about 5.8 GB for the PS3.

Under Features in the Overview tab for the version on Newegg it reads:

"all additional content released for Resident Evil 5 on a single Blu-ray disk for PS3 or as a DVD with a token to download all content from XBOX Live. Episodes: Lost in Nightmares"

Yes on 360 it's a token you have to redeem. Extra contents are all on the disc in the PS3 version. There is NO real different between both version. I played both and to be honest I enjoyed it on the PS3 more (i'm talking about using the regular controller) in term of manuverability. The xbox controller just doesn't feel right for a RE game xD I've played RE since PS1 days so I prefer to use a Dual shock controller anyday haha. For me the game seems to look better on the ps3 then xbox but that's just me. But to be honest there is no noticable difference between the 2 systems. You will have the same experience no matter what system you choose to play it on. Unless you want to be @nal about every details and do frame by frame comparision.
