Official Resident Evil 5 Discussion Thread - KEEP IT HERE

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="3picuri3"]

it still exists in ALL parts of the world. i think the uproar was created by gamers tbh. the story wasn't really carried by major new outlets, just bounced around a ton of gaming sites and we keep bringing it up in SW over and over again. my point was that just because you don't think it's racist - or that because things aren't as bad as they were 50-60 years ago - it doesn't excuse discussion or criticism. look at things analytically is an excellent way of making progress.

there's nothing wrong with questioning the sensibility of choosing this sort of setting in this day & age whatsoever. to be honest i think the uproar was more on the defensive end, from people attacking that one bloggers opinion. had people let it lie and respected their view of things instead of rabidly defending the game (as gaming media is so prone to do, see stories re: gaming as addiction. there is so much to support it, yet game blogs like kotaku, etc still just belittle the idea defensively like children that just had their lollies taken from them).

long story short. racism is still everywhere. we should question things. we should be analytical about it. we should always keep it in our minds in an attempt to move past it. marginalizing it, or downplaying just because things are 'better' isn't the way forward imho.

http://www.blacklooks.org/2007/07/resident_evil_5.html There's the link. No and because it was 50-60 years ago, doesnt mean that it isn't bad in any respect. But one Blogger was upset and everyone else just went up in arms. Like I said it's ok in movies but god forbid video games. this is a quote from the blog "This is problematic on so many levels, including the depiction of Black people as inhuman savages, the killing of Black people by a white man in military clothing, and the fact that this video game is marketed to children and young adults. Start them young… fearing, hating, and destroying Black people." So then isn't she being racist, telling everyone who isn't of that skin color is being brain washed to learn to hate and kill Blacks, Hispanics,Chinese, Middle Eastern's so on and so fourth. It's odd, I don't find many blogs about movies on this subject.

the more and more i play the demo, the more and more i HATE sheva and the whole co-op scheme

its seriously annoying

shes always takikng my kills, ammo/items, having to manage her ammo so shes not compltely useless

and always getting in my damn way when in tight, sticky situations, but the absolute worst part about it all is when shes fallin behind and draggin ass when im tryin to run away and gather my self and relaod all my guns she gets caught by the dman axe and chainsaw guy and gets killed, then all the sudden, boom shes dead, GAME OVER!...FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

this is meant to be a single player game dammit, not not some silly co op babysitting nonsense, plus the fact that someone is always with you also kills the potential scares/thrills

anyone else feelin me here?

honestly tho, im fine with everything else such as controls, menu, etc, just cant stand the co op schemekidcool189

I thought this demo sucked.

Dead Space is sooooo much better. The mood, Graphics, Shadows, atmosphere............everything, seemed so much better with Dead Space.

Co-op with Shiva is stupid.

The political corectness of the game has also made the atmosphere a joke.

Controls and switching weapons is not very good.

All in all I am VERY disapointed. I will Play through RE4 again on the Wii.

KillZone and SF4 will keep me going (It was between RE5 and SF4 for me and hands down SF4 is going to be a better game).

If we want to nitpick we could say that the cutscene of the demo is also racist, because when the megaphone guy points to us (Chris and Sheva) the two close-ups are from the only "real black" models of the game.

But the problem is we consider "black and white" instead of just plagas... that alone gives room to the racist problem to exist.

The Japanese considered Americans to be "western barbarians" for a long time. :P

if i walked down my street calling everyone that looked different a foreigner or foreign devil i'd be dead by dawn, or before sunset :P

Are ppl still talking about RE5 being racist? *sigh* Political correctness in society is getting really ridiculous nowadays.

anyways, I played the Demo and i was completely turned off. I really hate the controls and the game really isnt scary at all.

However, the graphics was amazing but i wont be picking up RE5

*sigh* Political correctness in society is getting really ridiculous nowadays EPaul

man, these graphics are godly

Wow, looks like RE5 will be disappointing. Based on the huge amount of negative comments about the demo (I haven't played the demo yet), is it the consensus now that the game shouldn't even be hyped AA?

My hype meter has solidified to a SOLID AAA title. I absolutely enjoyed the demo, and have been playing it almost to the point that I may have poured more hours in it that in a few single-player games of short nature.Brainhunter

Glad you loved it so much. I smell flop. I am going to predict low A. This game is nowhere near as good as Dead Space. Resident Evil 4 is so much better.

Stupid to have computer controlled co-op.

Political correct-ness ruines the atmosphere

lousy weapon switching

lousy run mechanics

This has fallan behind the following in terms of must have purchases for me:

1. KillZone 2

2. StreetFighter 4

3. House of the Dead Overkill

4. Resident Evil 5.

So what the hell is RE5 suppose to be? A Survival Horror game or TPS? Because that demo sure as hell wasn't scary and the controls were too damn clunky to be considered a TPS.

Capcom must be confused as well.

W1NGMAN-

Also didn't we kill enough latin people in RE4? Why the hell do we have to kill more in RE5?!

RACISM I TELL YOU!

*joking, but seriously latins mixed with a bunch of whites and blacks and asians, and who knows what else....the Capcom confusion continues.*

The original RE scared the poop out of me, I really hope this ones scary because I found RE4 to be weaksauce.

A good bit from the latest GS preview:

"But in our personal experience, the quirky controls weren't much of a hindrance. Once you take a moment to get used to them, you'll likely come to appreciate them for the deliberate nature in which you'll face every minor scuffle. You get a good appreciation for the smaller battles, never feeling like you're just slicing through a huge swath of undead humanity."

That quote pretty much sums up the way I feel about RE5's core gameplay.

I don't know why there are so many negative comments. The graphics are very nice. The gameplay is great sans moving and shooting. It is really very fun. If the retail version keeps up this level of fun, it should get AAA.
