[QUOTE="-wii60-"]RE5 will own.BlackIsle_rip

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.



Your post is little bit offensive :|

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.

So its ok to kill White Farmers just not black ones? Oh shut up you racist good god take a look at yourself fool go kill more White people on Re4 why dont you or anyother game! Oh no you cant because its racist but oh no its ok to be racist to white people! Arghh get a life

How similar was Resi 1 to Alone in the Dark?

skrat_01

Both games had:

  • A mansion full of zombies (and assorted creatures).
  • A basement catacomb-like area where you fought the final boss.
  • Two playable characters - male and female.
  • Limited ammo and healing items.
  • Dog-like creatures jumping through windows.
  • Bizarre puzzles involving pushing statues around, placing crests in things, etc.
  • Most of the storytelling was told in books/files.
  • Set camera angles.


The main difference was that AitD was inspired by HP Lovecraft, while RE1 was inspired by cheesy horror-action movies.
Oh, and Alone in the Dark came out four years before Resident Evil.

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!?

lhughey

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?

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.

Yes, im quite aware of the civil rights movement, however as far as a set constitutional date in which slavory was abolished, i used the emancipation proclimation, pardons, but it only makes sense in the context of legalized slavery. We could have the same arguement about illigalization of drugs, and id give the same legal referance as an answer, despite the millions that have died since that date, and the countless addition of laws.

Steakdinner

There's no real coherent story to the series, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Basically, the main protagonist is Edward Carnby, a paranormal investigator in the 1920's.
Each game is based around a different 'case', but Alone in the Dark 5 doesn't really have anything to do with the other games - Carnby somehow finds himself in modern-day New York...and there's not much more that we know about this game. :P

Very interesting, I thought the design of each was similar, but not THAT similar. Wonder how many people are aware of this.

Looks alot like what Ken Levine used to show off with Bioshock. Will anybody play that way though? Probably not, unless they seriously lower the ammunition amount in the game. I mean you would have to be forced to use your gun to want to use it. You can't have ammo out the ass like Bioshock did and then give players the option of throwing sticky tape bombs/flares at enemies. They just won't do it.

It's a bad storyline to cover up a bad game. That's right I said it, Resident Evil 5 has aweful taste.

BlackIsle_rip

And what exactly was the solution for ALL the previous resident evil games? Oh..thats right..with the guns. No, your right, lets have it take place in africa, except only have white people there, im sure NO ONE would be offended by that.

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.

I can see it now...

In the face of a full-scale zombie holocaust........

"I think we should be a lot more sensitive to the needs of black zombies, they arent just white zombies with black skin, they have their own specific cultural needs and traditions and should be treatead accordingly." :roll:

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?"

Steakdinner

Fight the power my bruthah.

Seriously, Resident Evil 5 is just fine, who cares if it has black people in it. We've been killing caucasians for far too long.

Yea but its ridiculous, like there's a locked door, what do you do?

Of course! drop your wine by the door step to lure your enemies out, I admit, I kind of liked it years ago but it's always been rather dumb.

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

BlackIsle_rip

Well, it sure will, I mean there always will be some morons with double standarts :)

Personaly I'm looking forward to slaughtering tons of black people in RE5 as well as Far Cry2. All games have us slaughtering white or Asian people, time for more variety :)

So I guess the ending to the movie Training Day was a racist allegory for Slavery too? I'm reasonably sure you're just saying all this garbage for the thrill of riling people up.

Slavery has hurt and has been inflicted by people of all colors. Americans didn't invent it, and they certainly weren't the last to practice it.

I highly doubt a Japanese company would take a long running franchise and then use it as a vehicle to promote white superiority.

The new Alone in the Dark looks awesome. I see it still stars Carnby though. I hope I don't need to have played the others to appreciate it; I only ever played a little of the New Nightmare.

The funny thing is that Africans were involved in slavery LONG before the Portugese made contact with 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 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.

There has been more white slaves than black ones in history.

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.

Are you naive, like race isn't an issue naive or are you just talking about RE5.

They were thought of as less thats why they were treated diffierently, 100 million coloured people, thats 70 million black killed and 30 million Indians were left to starve to death (weren't allowed to get on with it and provide for them selves) in the last 200 years because they were considered unimportant.

I think they used a combination of the bible (misinterpreting of certain sections) and Darwins theorys (I think) for this as justification, he specifically tried to prove scientifically that people of colour weren't even the same animals.

Are you really trying to say that there has been no race issue since slavary was abolished? Like people of colour were just playing the race card all this time.

Im not really going to touch on RE5 though because i've already posted about it in the past. I said the games not racist, just certain individuals that may play it.

KungFuKitten I respect you through your past posts and opinions, but I like other people of colour know race is still an issue.

In the UK the BNP grow bigger than ever, Europe, the US... well its definitely an issue. Racism still continues to this day.

I apologise if I misunderstand you, please elaborate on what you mean if I have.

Either way I still respect you.

I don't know I found making the transition from the old RE games hard. I can see why people like RE4 but im not too sure. I should give it more of a chance though. Im a bit weired about it as im playing through the old ones on the GC first.

Edit: yeah what happened Alone in the Dark looks good from the tech demo, but I heard it was canned.

So it's offensive when a white dude is shooting black dudes but when he's shooting other white people it's perfectly acceptable?

I can have a bit awkward ways of thinking because i don't make certain usual connections and tend to make many unusual connections in my mind. Just so You know, if that's the case, that's something i can't help.
Ok, what i wanted to say is that race isn't the issue at all. That's a mentality i just can't agree with. Sure there are people being abused, discriminated all over the place, but not because of a difference in race but because of the people who turn race into an issue.

I don't really know how to explain it, but i'll give it a shot.
It's like someone poor makes plush puppies for a living. Puppies with big noses, but never small noses because he thinks less of them.
Now one day a group of people pass by his store and say: "Good sir, You're doing wrong. Plush puppies are of equal value, big noses or small. They have equal rights to be, so don't discriminate between their noses and sell them regardless. The size of their nose shouldn't matter." The plush puppy creator nods in agreement, as he comes to see his idea to limit his store to big nosed puppies is silly. He tells the crowd to come back tomorrow, and the people move on.
He closes his shop and spends his night creating a beautiful plush puppy with a smaller nose, using his finest materials, and places both puppies on a table near the window for all to see. Since the small nosed puppy cost him more to make, he raises its pricetag by just a tad.
Then the next day the same people come across the same store and they notice a table with two puppies on it, one with a big nose and one with a small nose. The sight of it all infuriates them, and they shout in choir: "How can You sell a small nosed puppy for more than a big nosed puppy? This insinuates a difference between the value of a big and small nosed puppy!".
The shopkeeper goes emo in frustration.

It's very hard for me to explain but maybe You can understand the frustration that i feel as well. It wasn't something discriminating if the people didn't care about their nose. But they did, in an attempt to stop people to care about their nose. That's just silly. I really think it would have been for the best if people didn't make a fuss about what races appear in RE5. Maybe i'm wrong in that.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="BlackIsle_rip"]Your just reassuring my point. You have to learn from the past and move on. KungfuKitten

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.


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.

Are you naive, like race isn't an issue naive or are you just talking about RE5.

They were thought of as less thats why they were treated diffierently, 100 million coloured people, thats 70 million black killed and 30 million Indians were left to starve to death (weren't allowed to get on with it and provide for them selves) in the last 200 years because they were considered unimportant.

I think they used a combination of the bible (misinterpreting of certain sections) and Darwins theorys (I think) for this as justification, he specifically tried to prove scientifically that people of colour weren't even the same animals.

Are you really trying to say that there has been no race issue since slavary was abolished? Like people of colour were just playing the race card all this time.

Im not really going to touch on RE5 though because i've already posted about it in the past. I said the games not racist, just certain individuals that may play it.

KungFuKitten I respect you through your past posts and opinions, but I like other people of colour know race is still an issue.

In the UK the BNP grow bigger than ever, Europe, the US... well its definitely an issue. Racism still continues to this day.

I apologise if I misunderstand you, please elaborate on what you mean if I have.

Either way I still respect you.

Oh no I understand, like this is only a thing because people have turned it into a thing a bit like video game violence. Sorry I get you now :)

[QUOTE="-wii60-"]RE5 will own.BlackIsle_rip

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.



Your post is little bit offensive :|

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.

Oh, god.... here we go again.

Resident Evil really depicts America's plight against the the Gay Agenda.

You know I'm right.

:lol: I see nothing wrong with RE5, there's something wrong with anyone that does in my honest opinion.

Just because the zombie epidemic takes place in africa?? OMG its racist now, because only white people can become zombies!

Onoz teh African zombie epidemic! Lets forget researching a cure from the safety of America but go ovar there with GUNZ and shoot them!

:roll:

It's a bad storyline to cover up a bad game. That's right I said it, Resident Evil 5 has aweful taste.

Yet no-one complained about the Spaniards Resi Evil 4? And as far as I recall you shoot white people and black people in the first 3 Resi Evil games and the spin offs.

EDIT: And the Resi Evil series was never exactly known for it's outstanding storylines (master of unlocking and the like).

I doubt it turns out to be a bad game, and about being racist or offensive, it wouldnt be the first time, games like: "Lets go to Venezuela and kill those guys", "Lets kill the mexicans", "Lets kill the japanese in WW2 games", but this is a game that doesnt have to do with this, since other RE have had nothing to do with this, and it has a storyline which is not political.

What exactly have you seen from RE5? Pics?

Na i've seen the vids too. I'm well informed for RE5 as i'm looking forward to that too. I just was much more impressed with what i have seen in AITD and i played it on the playstation one and it was a mad game. RE5 will be good but soo far looks waaay to similar to RE4 with not much changes.
