    For many people the trailer for resident evil 5 was seen as an exciting new direction for the definitive survival horror franchise. For others, it's racist hate mongering at its worst. Kym Platt at Black Looks, a blog dedicated to exploring issues concerning African women, expresses her concerns over the trailer which depicts Chris Redfield in what appears to be an African setting, struggling against a horde of black zombies.

    I mean seriously. Hes in africa, Black is the dominate colour there. Who cares.
    I bet money if there was a movie where will smith was in europe being over run by white zombies no one would say anything.

    Your opinions? ( use proper english please)​

    I've said this before. The only ones who find this racist have had a upbringing which has been influenced by racism.
    The world cannot work if you are afraid to insult people. Game looks scary by the way. I hate jumpy games...

    P.S - Video Link wasn't working so I edited.

    I find this sort of thing rather rediculous. People look at hundreds of racist images, and even more language, and accept it. Put it if a video game, and the world goes into an uproar.

    Its just like blaming you actions in a murder case on a game you'd been playing, and say you wanted to try out killing somone. Giving you a reason to plead insanity. Its just pathetic really.

    I can't see the movie.lol

    I agree with the post though. It's ridiculous the amount of attacking video games get.

    My opinion: If you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT. People put time and effort into their shit for video games. It's ridiculous.

    That is... completely stupid. If he went to asia and fought chinese zombies would that be racist? Anything is racist now so im just giving up on making the argument.

    Eh. I'll give it about a month before Jack Thompson gets on the case, fails miserably, and brings the two of them down.

    It's not racist. It's just in Africa. RE4 was in Mexico (I believe) and that wasn't racist against Mexicans.

    Exaclty. No matter which way you put it. Its just someone wanting to get some extra dough somehow.

    And you're right, I forgot about RE 4. I think it was in Mexico, and the zombies spoke some Spanish, and no one was complaining there. Its the fact that its blacks now. That's the difference.

    Don't get me wrong, I hate racism, but this isn't it.
     
  8. Ok I say nay to but, isn't it questionable that a WHITE dude is going around shooting up BLACKS that are zombies. that all i'm saying. I feel torn between it (But at least the zombies are smart).
    Nope no way Luke, man they would definitly do something if it was Will

    "Yo yo, why ain't that Chris cracka a black guy?"

    So only whites can be zombies...good to know.

    P.S. They would say something about Will Smith being overrun by white zombies: The zombies would be committing a hate crime.

    i agree there is absolutly nothing racist about this video game. if it were a black person killing white zombies this thread would never had been started but since its a white guy killing black zombies the world has to stop and look into the subject. i cant stand when this sort of thing pops up. its just a F**king video game.

    Actually RE4 was in a northern part of Europe. But I agree. They say it is racist yet they have said nothing before now. I believe that there was no racism involved in the movie I Am Legend.

    Yes RE4 was in Spain.And I don't see how it is racist.There zombies,they don't care!Guy goes to a black zombie rally saying this game is racist,then gets eaten.That would shut them up.Spanish people didn't think RE4 was racist.And zombies "originated" in Africa,right?So it's historically accurate,take that!If i'm right atleast.Anyway,i like the games,but they have have raised my paranoidness (is that a word?) by about,oh i dont know,alot.still want this game though,and it wont be brought down by this so-called racism.It's actually a pretty weak call,havn't seen it in the news yet
