Hi,

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22801.html?type=wmv

Cinematic or real time ? Don't know.
The shadows and lighting looks very - very nice cool.gif.

    yes, just saw the HD trailer a little bit ago.

    looks AMAZING.

    id say the first bits are pre-rendered using the in-game stuff with a little post processing but the combat(aiming/firing) is real time i suspect. still impressive graphics and no doubt the game play will match up.

    Chris got BUFF.. wow..
    the masses of 'zombies' with weapons is impressive. looks like RE4 taken to the next level.

    and the girl at the end.. at first i was thinking Alexia.. but no, she was destroyed in Code Veronica. so now im thinking.. Sherry Birkin. if it is.. then O M G..

    I'm not an RE fan, but this has got me excited. Looking great. Nice graphics, like the style, etc...

    Not enough shown on gameplay for my tastes, but from what was shown, looked great.

    Funny i feel more comfortable looking at clips of white people getting shot over the black people in this game :+... all those games with just whites getting killed kinda has me desensitized to white people shooting O_O... this video has a weird psychological effect on me >_<; all those poor Africans don't deserve that >_<

    Nice photoshop EQ, I didn't catch it at first. Also, I'd like to add that the kid in your avatar looks like a black zombie... all you need to do is add a caption of him saying, "brains... BRAAAINS!"

    Have they said that it is Africa? I was assuming it was Haiti since that is where zombies originated from, AFAIK.

    It would be really interesting if they have Umbrella set up like an American prescription drug company, testing their new products on people of African nations. I'd like to see that kind of real world element come into a popular game like this where gamers might become a little more aware.

    Looks really good.

    Yeah I kind of agree... it has a strange vibe to it. Not sure why exactly. And it could hurt sales btw.

    But if it was backed up by a good & reasonable story and maybe some sort of "social commentary" this strange feeling could in fact make the game experience more intense wink.gif

    Wow that screenshot looks amazing, but I grew up in south africa and I can imagine a game that looks like this having a good chance of being banned there. Theres just too much racial politics in some african countries and alot of people are trying to get away from the past or present racial prejudices. I dont know if the legal system would even consider a good story as justification?

    per your logic has no room here. obviously you were not aware that black people are the only ones that are victims to racism.i should know i am one 16th african american, if any of you buy this game i will round up my brothers and go gangsta on your ass.

    looks awesome.

    Funny that a majority of the posts consist of people noting the zombies are black.
    I mean where else would resident evil go next?
    Man, I hope that the zombies trip on the zombies that fall as you shoot them.
    Looks chaotic.
  • indian_boy
    come to india and blow up the sikhs. while ur at it, shoot some cows in front of hindu temples. that'll be the next resident evil. and as long as it doesn't show india as the exaggerated poverty-struck thats usually done, i wouldn't mind it.

    on another note: HOLY DAMN! never been a fan of RE, but the graphics on this make me wanna stare at it for hours! i like the sickles being chucked at the player. that felt nice to look at!

    killing whiteys is ok, but blax is bad? Um, isn't THAT racism? Cmon, whiteboys, hold on the politics ok?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    lol yeah. Unfortunately thats the way it was in south africa, theres still affirmative action being enforced there even today( white males are the last in line to get a job regardless of skill) and affirmative action isnt seen as racism or prejudice, its government controlled, been that way for 13 years now. So a game where you kill loads of black people might not be recieved too well thats all Im saying.

    Apartheid was the norm in South Africa as recently as the 1990s, so I can understand why they may still be a bit sensitive. When you've been racially segregated and relegated to a lower economic, legal and political status in the recent past, seeing a game where the white heroes slaughter the evil black zombie antagonists might rub you the wrong way... even though that isn't the game's message, you might see it in a different light.

    Hmmm, maybe it "rubs the wrong way" because zombies were always a symbol for the "dead" middle class media controlled masses in modern pop culture, which just doesn't translate well to a 3rd world slum like setting and thus those zombies arn't really percived as such but rather as desperate people beeing slaughtered?

    Zombies is zombies! Point and shoot mother fucker! Why be playin' the race card bitches?
    Probably won't get a chance to play this game on release, for I don't see myself getting a PS3 any time too soon. Though there are a few games coming out that is almost making it worth picking up.

    I could be wrong, but I always assumed Resident Evil was a Sony exclusive game. But considering Resident Evil 4 was also on the GameCube, I most likely am wrong. Will have to check it out and keep my fingers crossed that it will be on the 360.

    Who do we write to about Left 4 Dead where you can be a black guy and shoot white people?

    Or a rich girl and shoot poor people.

    Or an old guy and shoot young people.

    Or a biker dude and shoot...people in general.

    Well in RE4 the zombies were of European ethnicity... Being of European origin, I had no problem with this at all. I enjoyed slaying hordes of Euro zombies! Reminds me of the sketchy ass villages most of my family live in. Most of the people there actually look like zombies from all the post-war conflict, harsh working environments and overconsumption of strong ass home made alcohol and cigarettes.

    to be honest they don't appear to be as zombie like as the other games. Slow groaning living dead they are not.

    We have entered the dawn of the dead zombie era, where zombies seem to run and wield tools intuitively.

    In a few of those cuts it does just look like he's shooting some black dudes, and thats not going to go down well.

    It seems to only be racism when it's anything geared towards black people. Asians don't seem to complain when Van Damme comes into our countries and kicks the shit out of us in his movies.
    Goths didn't throw a fit when Wesley Snipes cut them up in Blade.

    Jesus H. FUCKING-Christ. Grow up.

    Buuuuuuuut. It seems like they're building ontop of the concept they took from RE4. Where you weren't really shooting zombies... just crazed villagers infested by a parasite. Same thing here basically, except with black people.

    I seriously doubt any racist intent, but games are evil and any reason to beat down on them can and will be used against us. Which is sad.
    To be honest I think we need more nipples in games. I think its retarded that its ok to shoot people but I'm not allowed to see a nipple in my game........

    What a fucking joke. Its racism when you treat people different because of there race/skin color, but they are arguing black people are off limits and should be treated different. So inclusion is racist? Of course there is no racist intent, like they would risk hurting sales by intentionally offending people. If they wanted racism they'd just drop the N-bomb. Rediculous

    i liked this one :

    "Where was this bitching when in the prior Resident Evil games when you were killing zombified white people or zombie Spaniards? Sorry, but equality means taking the bad with the good."

    aaha i guess the most racist are the ones that are offended by everything...

    And another note, what about Land of the Dead? The lead zombie was black, and hunting a bunch of rich white people. Was that racist?

  • Mark Dygert
    It's kind of ironic anyone would expect zombies to never be black. Sure sprinkle a few in a crowd just make sure they're in the back and don't get shot? Its a sad day when you zombie cast must look like the header pic on a corporate HR website. Especially deep in the heart of an area where white people have to be air dropped in. How did the suit wearing, middle class Asian zombie get into that mob of zombies in central Africa?

    Considering where the whole zombie thing got its start, you would think people wouldn't care as much. The first zombie pioneers where black. Should we deny zombies their roots in the name of being PC?

    About the angry black women blog: I'm glad her blog is filled with comments that hopefully shed some light on her condition. It's always dangerous when people speak about things they know nothing about. I'm glad the majority of people reading her blog have enough common sense to see thru her BS.

    The point people keep bringing up is that the zombies don't look zombie enough. The hallmarks of zombies are blood stains. It has to be hard to paint blood that will be easily recognized at at a distance on such a dark canvas. It doesn't take a preschool art teacher to figure out when you add dark to dark you get more dark. You would think they would choose lighter colored less patterned clothing so they could play up the blood stains.

    If this game is racist then black hawk down is racist. This isn't about the color of the skin of the villagers, it's about the fact that the storyline was set up in this place. Anyone with a few seconds to at least read a short summary of the storyline would realize that it is not racist. Furthermore, if you look at the screenshots or video clips, Chris Redfield isn't gunning down innocent folks, he's defending himself from a mob of infected villagers trying to kill him with blades. Even the genre sums it up, SURVIVAL HORROR, not HATE CRIME SIMULATOR.
