the fact that anyone gets offended that this might be something racist is pathetic

Unless they get Michael Richards to play the voice of Chris Redfield, I agree

lets not pretend that the japanese are the most racially sensative group out there, particularly as it relates to black people.

why do you guys feel that everyone should feel the same way as you? think about it if you were walkin down the street and someone leaned out the window and called you a slur that had nothing to do with you back ground or ethnicity i.e."YOU WET BACK DIKE!" you'd be like 'haha that guy is crazy'. NOW let's flip this and say they did the same thing to a female of latin decent should she be expected to feel like you and shrug the comment off as some guy being crazy?

not saying that there should never be game in which you kill people of different races etc. but don't think that just because you're not offended that there isn't a group of people out their who have different soft spots. I love the RE games but this was just asking for trouble. i mean a white military guy is going to africa and exterminating these "savage" africans who've been infected with a deadly virus. Apartied, aids, black stereo types? theres no denying that this game hits extremely close to some serious social issues and expect that no one gets offended is redonkulus.

How much does konami pay the media to give their games good reviews?

The graphics in RE4 are laughable. Not being able to run and shoot, are you serious?

8/1/2007 6:39:53 PM

RE4 is from Capcom

also we already covered this in the Wii topic

[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 6:43 PM. Reason : .]

this game from January 2005 has bad graphics. it makes me laugh. you know what other game's graphics are laughable. pong. i mean fuck, could they not have done any better than two rectangles and a circle. yeah...that'll move software.

8/1/2007 7:23:36 PM

just like Black Hawk Down was a racist movie

8/1/2007 7:45:37 PM

I actually thought of that movie when I saw the trailer.

8/1/2007 7:49:56 PM

Quinn, get the fuck out of the thread you simple troll. RE4 kicked your ass, you're just pissed b/c you couldnt take out zombies from the very beginning of the game because you're no good. The game controls fine, amazing, sublime...

but dude - you gotta not suck.

8/1/2007 8:02:10 PM

that by far has to be the worst put-down to anyone who calls themselves a gamer

8/1/2007 8:08:43 PM

On the subject of insensitive Japanese entertainment....



WTF

u just proved my point.while i had no problem with the first 4 re games i could understand that it may have offended some people. this 1 doesn't really offend me(though i am black) but i can most certainly understand people getting offended by it.

8/1/2007 8:46:57 PM

This will be the most terrifying Resident Evil yet. Black zombies run faster and jump higher.

8/1/2007 9:41:22 PM

lets hope they only continue to throw knives/axes. if they throw spears we'll never hear the end of this racism shit.

So if the protagonist were black, then this would be ok?

Or is it now only ok for white people to kill white people in games?

Just trying to figure out why when Japanese to make a game of white people killing zombies who happen to be white that's "alright", but the second they move the game to Africa where the zombies happen to be black that's now a "race issue".

8/1/2007 11:11:34 PM

i don't think anyone going to give a shit over time

it just has to be said because it's obviously there

but no ones going to dwell on it

8/1/2007 11:13:59 PM

A better game idea would be killing hoards of zombie jews in a huge bank abutted by a concentration camp.

Is that supposed to make sense or be relevant to the conversation?

8/1/2007 11:34:10 PM

It'd be much more challenging because not only could the zombies eat your brains, they could also screw you on a home loan

[Edited on August 1, 2007 at 11:47 PM. Reason : sdf]

8/1/2007 11:47:22 PM

Unlike these who could only beat you at a game of 1-on-1 or HORSE, right?

8/1/2007 11:48:44 PM

In this case, killing jews is just more fun than killing blacks. Africans can barely keep themselves alive as it is. To beat the game, you just have to wait for them to infect each other with AIDS

That's exactly my point. Japs are equal oppurtunity haters. Black racism isn't a big deal there because unlike here, they don't have a 200 year history of primarily shitting on a single race (hehe, except the Chinese). It's not something that registers to them and makes them go "hey, maybe we shouldn't do this", like it does here. Which is why they can focus on making what will undoubtedly be one of the best survival horror games ever rather than worry about how the public will react to a white guy shooting black zombies.

It's ok to admit you wasted money on a game ( i mean it was a gamecube game for shits sake, they go hand in hand).

Except the largest market for the game (the US), will likely have a negative reaction.

8/2/2007 8:23:56 AM

^ and the largest market would be our age and Caucasian, majority of the black folks I know only play madden so they'll never see this

I hope this doesn't become an issue, but it fucking will we all know it

8/2/2007 8:42:24 AM

Why the hate for RE4? That is considered by many to be one of the best single player games ever made. It definitely is at the top of my list. Graphics are great, gameplay is awesome, so what if you can't run and shoot at the same time, it isn't supposed to be an FPS.

8/2/2007 8:51:34 AM

re4 is the best game ever to me, and it has earned my highest recommendation and advocacy, with gta-sa following right on its tail. it offers everything that any sp could want, and then the unlockables, omg... anyone who says re4 is not good, or has ANYTHING bad to say about it automatically nulls and voids anything that they EVER have to saying about gaming on any front.

i mean is the govt supposed to say "you know you really cant base any games in africa because some blacks might get offended...while you're at it, if you decide to create some type of military shooter game, you cant do it in the middle east because some brown people might be offended...and latin america is off limits because it might offend some different brown people...i'd also advise you stay out of europe as some whites might be offended...also Tekken 5? Nope you can't have any Asian fighters even though lots of the boards are set in Asia...yep you really should stick to a story set in the United States where a multi-racial multi-ethnic hero runs around the city murdering and causing havoc on thousands of multi-racial multi-ethnic enemies...although we still run the risk of offending some mixed race people"

ETC ETC

8/2/2007 9:46:11 AM

except not really.

8/2/2007 11:15:06 AM

LET'S JUST BASE EVERY FUCKING GAME IN NEW YORK CITY SO THAT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF WHITE PEOPLE DYING

THEY ARE IN FUCKING AFRICA, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE ZOMBIES TO BE? LATIN? ASIAN?

there was an uproar when they released the ethnic cleansing game in which you were able to kill not only blacks but "white" jews , etc. there's was also an uproar when that guy made the georgia tech game in which you killed WHITE GEORIGA TECH students. there was an uproar when one of the flight sims let u crash into the twin towers. so it's not just an issue of "ohhh why can't black people get over it?!?!" Plain and simple the game touches close to sensitive subjects that ARE/have been REAL ISSUES, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET OFFENDED.


* btw i'm not offended easily and i'd still play the shit out of it, i loved re4. i'm just saying that just because it doesn't offend u doesn't mean people shouldn't be offended.
