Sorry if this gameplay trailer is a little old (probebly is) but it blew me away! the graphics breathtaking, the amount of new features the game will pack... i really have no idea where to start but trust me you wathch the vid and you will understand why i am soo pumped for this game. I'm a RE fan yet this looks way better then anything i have seen in RE5 yet :D

The hard part is knowing which version to get. I'll see how it goes with the Wii controls but if there not used well i'll be getting the PC version of this. this game will score high no doubt!

Share some love for this awsome game ^ ^

Alone in the Dark was awesome back in the day. I never played anything following the first game though. What happened to the series?

edit: Yeah that looks very impressive. Good new ideas implemented there.

I really hope so. RE4 was one of the best games I've ever played. Please make RE5 better Capcom.

Pretty please.

Black people will be OWNED hard when Resident Evil 5 is released. Stupid black farmers, BANG BANG! You think you can defend yourself with a pitchfork black farmer? BANG BANG!

Oh that's right, I'm the one breaking the forum rules. Maybe what I need is a General Custer signature to be accepted.

It's the truth though. Resident Evil 5 is a game where your a white guy with a gun and you kill black farmers. You just know it will be on every KKK members shopping list. RE5 is offensive and people need to realise that it's a step too far.

I've always thought that the concept of "owning" someone had bad rhetoric. But linking it to a game where you play a white guy with a gun killing "spooky black farmers" triggered my better nature. If Casey disagree's then I damn well don't care.

Resident Evil 5 has appalling taste.

You really don't think that Resident Evil 5 will disturb some people? You do realize that white people used to treat black people as inhumane beasts before don't you? Why should a game dig all of that up again?

I'm just saying. It's going to disturb a lot of people and it need not exist.

We're aware of that kind of propaganda and it never helped the american image. I don't think that's their reason to do things this way, or if it is i still wouldn't worry about it.
The whole skin colour thing is meaningless these days. Wow they're black. Hurray? We've seen evil beings in all colours and shapes, it just doesn't matter anymore. If they are trying to set a bad image or want us to care, they are a bit late.

The difference is that this is the first time that Resident Evil 5 brings back ghosts of the past. White people enslaved black people. Why go back there except to cause controversy and bring back a lot of hurt and hatred?

It doesn't matter. I'm certain that somebody is systematically reporting all of my posts because they are more interested in a videogame than the ghosts that it will unearth. Even if I am removed from this forum for talking badly about a videogame, how are you going to stop the controversy that will insue once it hits the store shelves?

I'll stop now. But expect RE5 to be banned in Africa and most other countries.

The problem is that the game is made in Japan.

I'd say the Japanese wouldn't understand just how bad the racist issue is in America and other places around the world. I'm all for the game because I love the series and understand that it is not trying to be racist. Anyway the KKK and other Racists wouldn't be able to play it anyway, because lets face it, they wouldn't be smart enough to pass the first level.8)

As opposed to being a white guy killing white guys, or a black guy killing white guys, or a black guy killing black guys.

Oh, and what about the ganados? That was okay with you?

Your just reassuring my point. You have to learn from the past and move on. Slavery in the UK was abolished in 1807 and the trade was abolished in 1833, almost 30 years before the states.

There is arguably more multiculturalism in Briton even than America, especially in places like London. There is no way people will be allowed to move on while media items such as Resident Evil 5 unearths the evils commited in the past.

That's fine when zombies are green and decayed. You are extremely naive to think that black communities are going to embrace Resident Evil 5 with open arms.

I never said they would. We'll just have to see. If the same people who played RE4 won't play RE5, it's hypocritical.

Edit: based on teh skin color. If you just decided RE4 sucks, more power to you. :P

It's not hypocritical because Spaniards never faced the reality of white aggression and cruelty.

Hey, their loss.
What happened in the past was slavery between very poor people and very vile people. Not between this skin colour and that. That's what the very vile people made of it. It should have zippo to do with this game. But yes i can see it may cause some uproar. If it does, then apparently this issue hasn't been given a proper place yet. Maybe that will finally happen then.

And thats exactly my point, if we dont move on from the mistakes of the past we'll never have true multiculturalism, i.e "africa without any africans because its racist to kill africans." As I said, africa is a continent in this world of all cultures, and this game takes place in the same world, with the same people. To remove them would be racist, to include them is racist, there is no winning unless we move on. I do agree with you though, as the game will probably recieve a lot of backlash, but backlash for what? Being relalistic to the world around us? Including africans in our "white ethnocentric video games?"

Was The old RE's racist against white people? was 4 Racist against Spainards?

Where to draw the line?

I'm sure there are going to black characters in the game that help you, and arn't evil!?

The difference is that this is the first time that Resident Evil 5 brings back ghosts of the past. White people enslaved black people. Why go back there except to cause controversy and bring back a lot of hurt and hatred?

Resident Evil 5 is bad news.

Slavery has been over (in the americas) since 1862, maybe everyone else besides you is trying to move on?

Your just reassuring my point. You have to learn from the past and move on. Slavery in the UK was abolished in 1807 and the trade was abolished in 1833, almost 30 years before the states.

There is arguably more multiculturalism in Briton even than America, especially in places like London. There is no way people will be allowed to move on while media items such as Resident Evil 5 unearths the evils commited in the past.

You seem to making a few too many judgements on a game that hasent even been released.

All we have seen is a single trailer and a few screens and all of a sudden Resi 5 has to do with slavery? :|

And thats exactly my point, if we dont move on from the mistakes of the past we'll never have true multiculturalism, i.e "africa without any africans because its racist to kill africans." As I said, africa is a continent in this world of all cultures, and this game takes place in the same world, with the same people. To remove them would be racist, to include them is racist, there is no winning unless we move on. I do agree with you though, as the game will probably recieve a lot of backlash, but backlash for what? Being relalistic to the world around us? Including africans in our "white ethnocentric video games?"

It will receive backlash for glorifying the killing of Black farmers by a white man with a gun.

You don't enslave the zombies, you kill them.

That's fine when zombies are green and decayed. You are extremely naive to think that black communities are going to embrace Resident Evil 5 with open arms.

I have plenty of black friends from different cultures who are exited about the game, one of which is desperate for it to be on the Wii......

Alone in the Dark was awesome back in the day. I never played anything following the first game though. What happened to the series?BlackIsle_rip

The first one was great (which is probably why RE1 completely ripped it off), but the later games became too focused on the combat and ended up sucking (from what I've played - I never bothered to finish any of the other games).

I've lost all faith in atari published games ='[

Bah! The Witcher and NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer kicked a huge amount of arse last year.

Back on topic, now that RE5 looks to be even more of an action game than RE4 was, it looks like Alone in the Dark 5 will probably be a more satisfying game for fans of the survival horror genre.

Or what about glorifying the killing of a white man with a gun by Black Farmers :|

If that were the case then the only action would be to remove all black people from video games in which they can be killed, as any one occurance is bound to upset someone. However that in and of itself is inherantly racist as it segregates the two cultures even more, is that really what you want? Would this game be ok if it was a black man killing black farmers? Heck, we dont know much abou tthe charactor, maybe hes brazillian, does that change things?

You are correct, slavery was abolished in the 1860s, but it was still legal to bar blacks from public places, discourage them from voting and legislate against them until the 60's. YES 1960s. Furthermore, lynchings were still being performed in the 1960s in the south. So to say that slavery was abolished in the 1860s is only telling part of the story.

How similar was Resi 1 to Alone in the Dark? All I ever played was a bit of the second and 'A new Nightmare'- including the GBA version.

Oh and I bet Atari has alot riding on the sucess of Alone in the Dark 5
