I sense a race card being pulled on this game. Lol.

did anybody else get excited when they were introducing this game thinking it was going to be mgs? a little part of me died when it ended up being re5. don't get me wrong i'm happy that this game is coming, but i was expecting more.

Dese niggas been zombified!

it's AIDS, not the T-Virus

And another thing I felt the same as XeroxMe when this game was being presented.

I also thought it was MGS4 when the trailer first started. Ah well, being the huge RE4 fan that I am, it was equally exciting to see some more footage.

Maybe it's just latent racism, but this setting seems to make it all the more scary. This looks like it could potentially be fucking terrifying. Here's to fear.

i thought i was the only person afeared of black people.

@ Oni

You too?

Yea..it was Definitely Chris Redfield..

The logo on the shoulder of his shirt says it all.

I meant to say "skinny African man with a burlap bag on his head".

If this game reveals there is something about the Las Plagas that makes some of their infected love to wear burlap bags on their heads, then this will the greatest game in history.

Another thing I'm hoping for is that there is a some period of time (a few hours spread through out the game) where you wander around the villiage with out being attacked. The one thing about RE4 that could be considered a flaw is that there is too much action. It gets over stimulating. Some sneaking around or GTA like interaction with villiagers would be great, especially as a build up to them unexpectedly turning on you.

It is official...with this and Left 4 Dead coming out on 360, I am glad I have a 360.

I'm really interested/excited to see where they go with this:

racially.

OH SNAP NO HEDIDN"T! TUBATIC PULLED THE RACE CARD!!!!! AAAAAHHH RACE CARD HAS PLUS 5 to STFUAJPG!!!!! SO STRONGER THAN BLUE EYEZ!!! EEEEK!

But yes. I think, depending on how the publisher/developer works this, could be a great addition to the "are games art?" discussion.

And so you all understand, I'm not saying ban this game, stop this game from coming out, censor this game, shame on them for making this game. Fuck that. Bring the damn game out and say something, or say nothing. Whatever. seriously.

Its going to come up all over, and with good reason. Its got a setting slathered in all sorts of real world topics, which in themselves are the source of many discussions. Hell, the imagery of black (zombified) people encroaching on other black (non-zombified people) is fodder enough to spark a discussion of racial images in entertainment media. Let alone being part of an industry marketed to white male consumers age 18-30.

I'm just saying. This isn't Pong. The sprites have eyes here.

What, you guys want white-only zombies? Racists.

So... are these like Genados, or zombies, or something new?

I WANT IT.

Yay, now everybody's covered:

Wanna kill a bunch of white people? Play any WWII FPS
Asians? Dynasty warriors
Hispanics? GRAW 2
and now Blacks? RE5

San Andreas doesn't count because you killed everyone in that game.

If people keep referring to any discussion of race as "The Race Card" (My Visa is good, but my Race Card has better APR . . . ), I swear I'll . . .

;p

@ remz
re6 will include zombie jews.

and i though it was also comin out for the wii. am i wrong? will this be the first re not comin out for a nintendo system?

Also, why pull the race card? Earlier Resident Evil games have white people in it. In Resident Evil 5, they are black because they are in an area where people have that skin color. What, you want purple-skinned people so the race card won't be pulled?
