PS3 patch v. 1.03. Good news.

You can now backup your save data or copy it to multiple screen names. The update was 38MB so there are likely other updates that we don't know of yet.

If you notice any differences, post them here.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

MY PS3 DIED 3 WEEKS AGO AND RE5 WAS THE ONLY GAME SAVE I COULDN'T COPY. I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN MY PS3 GETS HERE IN A FEW HOURS. I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS RIGHT NOW.

On the upside, you can get another save from someone around here. Most if not all of us have the game completed 100%... well, not for VS personally because it's as fun as scraping my teeth with a rusty hook.

Meh. Sorry for tarting out like that, it's just brilliant timing. 3 weeks ago I copied all my saves to a flash drive and RE5 was the only game that didn't allow it. Today, the day my PS3 is due to be delivered from repair, is the day they release a patch that allows the copying of saves. I was a little flustered.

I think I'll just start over. I don't mind. MOAR REPLAYABILITY.

[Umon Daisuke]

No worries, the backup is Team Ninja style.. as in, you can only re-use it for the same profile. Unlike TN saves that basically corrupt existing ones too, you're just forbidden to load it up onto another profile.

I could be wrong, but I noticed that the frame rate in the initial area up to the butcher shop at Kijuju to be improved a bit (it's not sub 20Hz anymore).

WTF, What was the problem?

BAD FUCKING LUCK.

Yep, but that's okay...it's just another excuse to play through RE5 again.

[Umon Daisuke]

Yup, pretty sure the frame rate is improved a bit. We're not talking a steady 30Hz, but every major dip in the past (including the intro) has been tweaked.

[Carnivol]

This is interesting. A new update now?

What could be hiding in the 2mb extra? (1.02 was 36mb)

Engine tweaks? Introduction for potential future DLC? (as hinted to with the alternate costume poll on Unity)

[Umon Daisuke]

Engine tweaks but decent DLC's would be VERY welcome. You really have no idea how incomplete the PS3 version is in comparison to the 360 one. In fact, it's baffling how the press trashed the PS3 LP when RE5 was a sloppier version.

VS seems to be benefiting the most in terms of frame rate consistency and overall stability.
