this is already an issue only after 2 TRAILERS!! and it was also discussed in the 1up podcast. Resident evil 5 will face a ton problems from the media due to racism (?!) i know the devs had no intentions in doing this and it probably has to do something with the story and has nothing to do with racism, but, as the 1up shows Shane Bettenhousen puts it, " IN THE END,IT IS a white man shooting black people.......,the media will take this out of context "

imo, this is a bombshell wating to explode, THE SEC someone like jack thompson sees the videos, you know mainstream media will jump all over it and itll be the top news in FOX news. it hasnt been an issue in past games, but the graphic nature of the Resident evil series will pull in some unwanted attention....

Graw had to go through the same thing, this is really sad. just hope it doesnt turn into the manhunt thing and the game gets canned, cause im really excited about this game

people make a big deal out of it just because they can. Nothing will come of it and the developers should take the criticism in stride

in before the lock. I think that RE5 is racist, not because it has a white guy killing black people but because they chose a white guy as the lead character rather than....ummm... lets say...a Mexican... no WAIT... a South Korean. RACISTS, why can't South Koreans or Tazmanians be lead characters and shoot up a whole town of black zombies?

whats funny is we've seen little in the way of anything more gruesome than typical games. Its not like people havent shot at black people in games before

I mean no offence by this but is this a country issue? I've never heard anyone where I live (outside US) talk like if a white guy does something to a black guy it's automatically racism. Because it simply isn't.

Do you get a heavier punishment in the US for beating up a black dude if you are white then if you would beat up a black person if you yourself were black? Because, I don't understand the issue. Don't people over there know what racism exactly is? Because it sure sounds like you don't.

I need explanations please because I can't follow it.

If you get offended by it, don't play it. Simple.
