Resident Evil is awesome. When the 2nd one came out, it was the reason I bought a playstation. I really don’t play /like/ or follow alot of games, but series still has me excited.
That’s why when I downloaded the trailer for the new Resident Evil 5 game coming out soon, I was crazy pumped. It takes place in Africa and looks freaking incredible. I can’t even describe how fun this game looks.
The entire time I was watching the trailer I didn’t even think once to myself “Wait… all the enemies he’s shooting are black”.
I didn’t even realize it was such a problem until today when I jumped on the internet and started just poking around for additional info for the game (nerd), when I stumbled upon all this racist B.S.
Alot of people are real upset that the new game takes place in Africa, and the main character, who is white, is fighting black people. Umm… who the F cares?
There has been like 4,000 Resident Evil games. I’m GLAD the new one is in Africa. I’m tired of fighting these things in mansions and in cities. The last game took place in Spain. You spent the ENTIRE game killing Spaniards. What about other video game series? Why didn’t anyone cry when the main character, whose Black, in Grand Theft Auto blew away all those white enemies?
The only people who are going to bitch about this are the ones who don’t like video games, or know the story behind this series. It’s an obvious progression in the series’ story, but people don’t see that. They see a white person shooting black people. Don’t you think it’s a bit racist to see this trailer, and instead of seeing the game for what it is, misconstrue the whole idea in the first place? Some peoples’ kids.
If ANYTHING, it’s racist against zombies.
