What do you want some sort of plot development?

Add a cut scene that tells you they aliens and not from earth, just make it they from other planet, so people don't get confused that there is some sort of relevance between real colonization, Europeans, and Africans, and it's actually a video game in a fictional setting

I am not sure why you think doubling down on a solution that already doesn't make sense is going to remedy the poorly made solution.🥴

@gifford38: Not all but most. All KKK are maga supporters and KKK folks don't believe they are racist. 🤷‍♂️Yes they are a cesspool. Patriots don't push for dictatorship and removal of rights.

hope your being sarcastic lol. KKK lmao. thats right patriots don't push that crap. patriots don't cancel you because they don't want you to tell the truth. fire you from your job because of your beliefs. patriots believe in god still and order.

they believe in freedom of speech and the constitution.

Just watched the video... I sure wish I didn't...

This is the dude trying to tell me what I should be offended by?

"White people can't shoot at waves of black people in a post Black Lives Matter world"... The dude spent the first 4 minutes of the video giving valid reasons why RE5 shouldn't be the next REmake. And then took this wild racism turn, suggesting there needed to be a more empathetic look of the outbreak and a more sensitive take on the continent... I spent more than 6 months in Djibouti... If there was a zombie outbreak there, RE5 is probably what the shit would look like...

I don't know, the whole thing just makes my head hurt. On one hand I wanna say if a black person or an African native came to us with this concern I would take it more seriously. But that would be racist too, right? But white folks really gotta stop telling minorities what they should be offended by.

No! I was stating facts. You actively push crap, don't tell the truth and are part of cancel culture. A little history, cancel culture as you folks refer to as, has been around since the beginning of time. It used to be called boycotting but because you and your folks are always participating in culture wars it because cancel culture. Please refer to the many things your MAGA folks have boycotted. Since you decided to play the victims of beliefs, your folks actively go after people who don't share their beliefs or who live counter your beliefs. This comes in the form of violence, retaliatory practices including firing, imposing religious beliefs on people who don't share said beliefs and burning of books.

So, by your own flawed definition of a patriot, your are exactly the opposite.

But unfortunately, we don't have a black population that sends these journos to f*ck off. If we had a couple of black asmongolds, i think this would change real quick.

Some small streamer calling it out won't create a shitstorm. We need big black streamers that call that shit out. But all the ones that are big, they're so casual that they wouldn't even approach this subject.

Imagine if Far Cry 2 had modding like a Bethesda game.

People would still be playing it now and Ubisoft would have gamers literally, show them how to design a good game.

@Macutchi: It's actually kind of amazing, given stuff like Counterstrike, Team Fortress 2 and DOTA how much publishers wholly underestimate user-generated content.

Esp now because to them, it's basically free DLC and free remasters and they don't want that. Rockstar will lit send lawyers to your door.

Fucking modders basically been holding Bethesda up for decades at this point.

There was controversy even back when the original game first came out. Capcom addressed it by diversifying the zombies to include white and brown zombies. There are two ways they can update it for the remake:

  1. Further diversify the zombies. After all, it's not a real-world location, but a fictional African country. And Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on the planet. However, the majority of zombies should remain black to make the African setting more believable.
  2. Update the storyline to address Western colonialism. Africa has a long history of being subjugated by Western imperial powers. The original game briefly touched on this, but this can be significantly expanded in the remake... Capcom could even touch on China's exploitation of Africa, but a Japanese dev criticizing China might be controversial in itself (China really hates Japan).

3. Change protagonists, Sheva is the main character this time around.

4. Use less tribal imagery and attacks.

No, it is about the portrayal of Africans.

It was an African journalist that called it out in the first place.

And no, the Japanese game industry does have a history of misrepresenting and stereotyping black people, including Capcom.

Do you have references to journalists in African countries calling this game out? This is news to me.

@ghostofgolden: he spend the first part of the video giving racional gaming reasons and only brings up race at the last part because he wants you to watch the entire video.

If the video is watched only partially, it doesn't get promoted as much.

Basically, he is trying to make you angry so that you comment, but right at the end of the video so that you watch It entirely.

This is the dude trying to tell me what I should be offended by?

"White people can't shoot at waves of black people in a post Black Lives Matter world"... The dude spent the first 4 minutes of the video giving valid reasons why RE5 shouldn't be the next REmake. And then took this wild racism turn, suggesting there needed to be a more empathetic look of the outbreak and a more sensitive take on the continent... I spent more than 6 months in Djibouti... If there was a zombie outbreak there, RE5 is probably what the shit would look like...

I don't know, the whole thing just makes my head hurt. On one hand I wanna say if a black person or an African native came to us with this concern I would take it more seriously. But that would be racist too, right? But white folks really gotta stop telling minorities what they should be offended by.

And that is all what's happening. If you look at the author of all these articles, its always a while dude or a white women. And i wish that the minorities told those journos to shut the **** up, because if a white journo is bitching about racism, and you have a bunch of black gamers telling them that its not racist to kill black ZOMBIES in a video game, i don't think they could pump these mentally deranged articles. But unfortunately, we don't have a black population that sends these journos to f*ck off. If we had a couple of black asmongolds, i think this would change real quick.

But it was black journalists who pointed out the racism in the first place, well before the game was released. It has nothing to do with "white people".

@texasgoldrush: The large majority of articles written about racism in games (or sexism for that matter), are written by white millennials. That also happen to live 17h a day on twatter.

There was controversy even back when the original game first came out. Capcom addressed it by diversifying the zombies to include white and brown zombies. There are two ways they can update it for the remake:

  1. Further diversify the zombies. After all, it's not a real-world location, but a fictional African country. And Africa is the most genetically diverse continent on the planet. However, the majority of zombies should remain black to make the African setting more believable.
  2. Update the storyline to address Western colonialism. Africa has a long history of being subjugated by Western imperial powers. The original game briefly touched on this, but this can be significantly expanded in the remake... Capcom could even touch on China's exploitation of Africa, but a Japanese dev criticizing China might be controversial in itself (China really hates Japan).

3. Change protagonists, Sheva is the main character this time around.

4. Use less tribal imagery and attacks.

More diversity with the zombies? Really?? The fictional zombie game needs to focus more on colonialism and exploitation?? Why?? Why does a RE game need to have anything about that in it at all?

What does making Sheva main character do??

Less tribal attacks?? Lol

Definitely sounds like a remaster done by the whiny libruls for sure

Wrong

In fact, many of the criticisms with something like Bioshock Infinite were from non gaming journalists of color.

And once again, it was a black journalist that struck out against RE5's depictions well before release.

If you found one example of a black journo, congrats to you. But generally speaking, its always the white folks that are bitchin, be it journo or otherwise.

Social cowardice.

Paradoxical. On one side, many gaming boards forbid any political discussion, but injecting games with political agenda and propaganda is A-OK. Hypocrisy truly has become paramount.

RE5 racist? Looked at through a lense it most propably was to some.

Some time ago i watched a Twiligth episode on youtube. The Paladin of the Lost Hour. Had a older white guy and a middle aged black man as protagonists. I read the comments at one point. And one said "racist trash".

Dude creates a Steam Curator page showing the games SBI worked on, was subsequently harrassed by employees of SBI, Valve told them to kick rocks and wouldn't shut down the Curator page, and the Streisand effect of SBI trying to negate the damage blew it up. Hell, even the GDC footage is hilarious, and she tried to immediately pass off as a joke about intimidating developers.

The fact that GS don't want to cover it isn't all that surprising.

As for the topic of RE5 being racist, I can see people construing it as such. Nothing wrong with that, but at this point, everything is offensive to someone. Gaming journalists being in the upper echelon.

No, not really. In fact gaming journalists do not handle race in general well.

It doesn't matter if they handle it well or not, they sure do it, and for some time now.

Yet gaming journalists in general are ignorant about race. That is how things like Bioshock Infinite get praised.

Basically an absolute disaster, and Wikpedia are even trying to portray another scenario. Instead of gaslighting, just take the damn heat.
