do you honestly think RE5 is racist??

One of the things that Capcom has said about RE 6 goes along the lines of changing the controls because of the complaints. I love the controls how they are but it's not like changing them would bother me.

Yeah there have been so many complaints that it seems like Capcom might give in, I hope not though...

You may not mind, but I would certainly not like any 'new' controls, it can really make or break a game, something like Gaiden on the Gameboy Color, it has Leon and Barry and a really cool story as well as location and fair music for a Gameboy, but the controls are so terrible and not fun that I haven't even beat it yet....

gaming companies like to do what is best for the gamer but changing the controls is not the way to go...being able to pick up the controller and play right away is a key element to a game

Gaming companies like to do what gets them the almighty dollar, nothing more.

Yeah that is what they want most, and like you said Regenerator, picking up the controller and being able to play and have fun is definately a key element, and as we all know REs camera system was a bit difficult at first, and it probably turns some people away....

There's no escaping it, really. Greed is human nature, just like war, cruelty, etc..

The racism debate was so dumb it was just something someone found they could complain about. People are always looking for something to make a issue out of whether its there or not.

Also I looked on youtube and found a lot of videos on it and there is a lot of black people saying its dumb that people are calling the game racist and they made a lot of good points like...

People would still be yelling racist if it was in africa and black people werent in the game and you shot white people because they would say: "Where are the black people!!!"

Exactly. If you put black people in it, you're racist. If you leave them out, you're racist. They need to stop pulling the race card. It's bull.

I have found that for the most part, the people calling this game racist probably have only seen photographs and are making their assumptions based on a couple of screen shots. While yes, the image of a white man killing a number of black men might appear to be racist, it is important to look at the context of the situation before jumping to conclusions. RE 5 takes place in Africa- so we can't expect that the majority of people there would be white. Like the above posters have stated, it's kind of a lose-lose situation. Personally, I am blown away by the fact that this stirred up such a controversy, yet killing Spanish people in RE 4 was perfectly fine.

Ironically, the majority of the people calling the game racist are white...

Anyone who says RE5 is racist is obviously racist themselves because they're so ignorant to say a game is racist without playing it, they're just seeing a White man (Chris) killing Black people (Majini) without knowing the cause. But I am pissed that Capcom did change some things in the game after the complains of racism... adding some White enemies, Arabic, and some more... plus I think the fact that they added Sheva was to cancel the racism because she is black.

Sheva is more mixed I would say and some people were trying to say that only made things worse by having her in there because shes lighter skinned.

The whole thing is just dumb.

The real story...

Some guy on youtube removed original speech from RE 5 trailer and said something on his own... And it was

CHRIS: I am racist and Ill keep going on...

Anyway, he was joking around with the whole thing about RE being in Africa, cos it was usually in either small places, or cities like Raccoon...
