Grungy Punk 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 This was one of the headlines in the news on yahoo this past week that Resident Evil 5 which isn't released yet is causing racial controversy. I guess the game revolves around black zombies because of the location and this has upset some people. They are saying this is in poor taste however it was reported that nobody seemed to have complained about Resident Evil 4 revolving about Spanish zombies. Resident Evil 5 is available for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Finally, a resident evil game for the Xbox 360 and the video clips for it look excellent. Anyone who love horror games and/or have enjoyed any resident evil games in the pas should check this game out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubq 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 This reminds me of the "Kill all the Haitans" in GTA Vice City. Good times. People really need to get over this shit. It's not like Redfield is wearing a white robe and calls himself the Grand Wizard or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Yahoo this week apparently was lazy and decided to throw up a story from over a year ago, then. I remember that crap, too. BTW, when discussing a news story, it helps to link to it. Capcom is just running out of people to zombify and have you chop up. Also, zombies. are. not. humans!!! http://chicagoist.com/2005/12/07/chicago_g..._it_aint_so.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grungy Punk 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 BTW, when discussing a news story, it helps to link to it. I wanted to but Yahoo changes their headlines everyday and I don't know where they put that headline from Sunday. If they were discussing this that long ago then geez this game should've already been released by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 I'm surprised how few of the articles pick up on, ironically, how long it took to have a zombie-themed game using Africa as a setting, when I'd think it would be one of the first candidates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grungy Punk 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Its not like their were no black people in previous Resident Evil games going back to the beginning of the Resident Evil games. If their were no blacks in any of the Resident Evil games people would still say thats racist. I think any location being used outside the U.S for a Resident Evil game sounds interesting.

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 I don't see what the deal is with killing zombies, regardless of color. Are we only supposed to kill the white ones or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Didn't they add a bunch of new multi-ethnic zombies in the latest build so that gamers could enjoy politically correct undead slaughter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
