The trailer looks great. Let's the game is just as good.


When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

This is my most anticipated game right now. I wish it could have the sweet Wii control scheme from RE4, but even the original control scheme will be fun.

I'm not letting myself get too excited, because it'll probably get banned over here. Because black person in computer game = racist.

Hey buddy, you should be a Russian Cosmonaut, and here's why.

"Welcome to Africa", huh? Which part of Africa? Or is the same vague type of location as RE4's "Somewhere in Europe"? :P Someone ought to tell them that Africa and Europe are continents, not countries.

It's certainly looking pretty - if I wasn't so helplessly bad at games like this, I might give it a try.

It's kind of like a guy in Wales putting up a sign that says 'welcome to Europe'.

Also, I failed at not getting excited. HOLYSHITITLOOKSGREAT

I'm really hoping people stop blowing that out of proportion. Even now they've got some white zombies for good measure, but you know people are still going to want to rock the boat and raise a stink about it.

It's a shame too, because it's likely a very good game and I'd hate to see it kept out of certain regions because of "perceived racism".

For all of those problemed people who believe that RE5 is racist (though I don't think I'll find anyone on this site with such a disposition), this man wrote an article which I found valid in many points.

It's kind of long, but it talks about the obvious, yet disconsidered fact that the game came out in Japan, where racism against black people has never been a problem or controversy and it compares this game to the previous release where you slaughter spaniards, yet that had no such hype for its racist content. It has much, much more and mentions some of Capcom's faults, too, but the above was some of what stuck out to me.

shifting in the wind... is a baby.

But this portrays Africa as a land of violence! We all know that's not true!

...

Besides in Rwanda.

...And Ethiopia.

...And Uganda.

...And, well, quite a few other countries.

But we all know that Africa is just like Europe and America! They're totally the same in terms of politics and technology! There is no violence in Africa, and anyone who says otherwise is Racist!
