Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Eidos Interactive has just released an enchilada of new screenshots for the best Mexican theme-based video game title ever concieved: Chili Con Carnage for (unfortunately to most) the PSP. The images sport crisp character designs, crap background textures, and a variety of very silly hats. The trailer does a much better job of selling the game; it's amazing how far a funny title is carrying this UMD. Don't hate me for being so excited about this game ... I'm just stealing other video game journalist's yobs.

Seriously though, do we have any Mexican readers out there?  I'm curious if the people of taco birthright find this game offensive in any way. ¿Dimelo -- te pica el fondillo on no?

I'm a Mexican Reader...and I could give a crap about it. Offended? Nope...just not my kinda game either haha

I can't wait for other mexicans to get offended by it, you can count on that happening for sure. Fucking idiots.

Just pick up Total Overdose on the PS2 for 10 dollars. It's the same game and aside from being buggy as hell, it's pretty fun.

That looks like a cross between GTA and Max Payne, with the bullet time thing.

Look pretty funny, and over the top! My kind of humor!

Too bad I don't own a PSP and have no plans to.

I'm not Mexican, but I'm mistaken for one sometimes. I'm actually kind of excited about this game too... If for no other reason than the awesome name pun. Also, I don't have a PSP.

this game is a port of some shitty game that came out last year, the name escapes me. oh, yeah, it's total overdose. i'm mexican, and the game skates the line between being offensive and funny as hell. i hope they keep the wresting mask powerup in there, the screaming is hee-larious!!!

I knew that Chili Con Carnage was published by Eidos and that character in the screenshot to the right shown here looks a lot like the main character from Total Overdose. What? Was Eidos lazy and they just ripped artwork from another game?

"Are you a Mexican or a Mexican't?" -Johnny Depp in Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Reminds me of a piece that Nelson and Natalie did last week on the Planet Xbox 360 Podcast. The question was posed to Ubisoft by a listener, why do you hate Mexico so much? G.R.A.W., G.R.A.W.2, and the opening scene in R6 Vegas take place there...

Well, I'm mexican, and some people are just ignorant.
When someone mentions "mexican" a lot of them think about "sombreros, tacos, tequila" problem is that all those people are ignorants, yes, Mexico is a poor country, but a lot of people here live in the same way as a lot of americans and canadians and look the same way as them. , I cant understand why do you think that all mexicans look that way... its stupid, people need to know more about culture

Tres cuartas partes de los gamers del mundo estan esperando un juego donde los malos sean los gringos imperialistas y el héroe un desplazado palestino, o afghano, o mexicano, que les vuela el culo a escopetazos. I will buy that game for sure!.

Mexican 100% here. Pistolaero, you are so dumb you can't even write your nickname correctly, so stfu.

Anyway, I don't care about this game but it's not really offensive. Although I'm pretty sure it won't sell shit.

People offended by this game really need to consider why exactly they find it offensive. This game is an obvious parody, no one is meant to take it seriously, and anyone who takes it as a factual representation of mexico is goddamn moron anyway, so who gives a rats ass what they think? When a person gets offended by something, it's normally because they're worried that something might be partially true. If you know it's bullshit, why sweat it?

I myself am irish. I'd wager the first thing that pops into your head when you read that is copious drinking. It doesn't bother me, I actually regard it as pretty funny. Besides, it's largely true; I'd say 75% of my friends would be classed as alcoholics by some people(they're not, but some people just don't know how to party). Most stereotypes are rooted in fact(ableit often outdated fact). Accept those aspects of your culture exist, and try to have a sense of humour.

Agree, in our case is the "revolucionario" appearance, and well... we do like tacos and tequila =D

I'm mexican and I don't feel offended by it. Also, I never understood people feeling offended by Sony ads. That's just me though.

As mentioned before, mexicans are not really like that. I do enjoy Robert Rodriguez' work (El Mariachi, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico) although lots of people feel offended by it as well. Funny thing, Antonio Banderas is actually spaniard, not mexican.

I did find Mel Gibson's approach of the Mayans in Apocalypto a little bit racist and biased but then again, what can we expect from an alcoholic/crazed christian.

I might be picking this game, I'll wait for the reviews to come in.

P.S. No me pica el fundillo.

There are a few websites in spanish but none with the Dtoid style. I actually worked for a couple of those sites a few years back and I would seriously love to collaborate to bring Destructoid to the spanish speaking masses.

www.meristation.com

And http://www.losultrageeks.com of course. ;)

Shameless plug aside. I've already said this game is a remake of -Total Overdose- not a bad game, sort of GTA meets Max Payne, just a bit mediocre around the edges.

100% Mexican, not offended, we are Mexican machos not Jack Thompson like pantsies, However when offended we wont sue, we just show up in in the middle of the night armed with a machete and a grim.>:)

And yeah aparently every time someone tries to make a Mexican impression they get stucked in Tijuana and never reach the larger cities down south, I wonder why? ...

It shouldn't be Mexico only though. We should share the Destructoid goodness to all Latin America and maybe the spaniards (damn spaniards!)
