Have you played Resident Evil 4?

 

No, 4, the good one. Not the the one with the blatant racism and where Chris' muscles own a private island in the pacific and starred in the Terminator films. The game came out over half a decade ago and still one of the most satisfying and greatest games ever made, simply due to the gameplay and now you can play it all over again when Capcom releases the game on PSN this year.

 

I remember back in 07 when I bought the Wii version and that was the first time I played a Resident Evil game properly. Up until that point, I'd watched friends played it and it'd been a heady mix of screaming at the screen to "SHOOT HIM, WHY ARE YOU NOT SHOOTING HIM?!" , "JESUS CHRIST, WHY DO SPIDERS EXIST?", "WHAT THE HELL IS A HEXAGON?!", and some pretty terrible voice over that we'd laugh and make up our own storyline, but when number 4 came out, we were stunned. Quite scary, incredibly fun and pretty cool to say the least from Capcom.

A press release from CapCom had these fine words to say: “Now’s your chance to relive one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Resident Evil 4 HD will be released via PlayStation Network on Tuesday, September 20th. Five years after the Raccoon City outbreak, Leon S. Kennedy is back in action and on a new assignment. The President’s daughter has been kidnapped by a mysterious cult in Europe and it’s your mission to rescue her and make it out alive. The entire Resident Evil 4 experience has been remastered in high definition and will be a treat for both new fans and RE veterans,” From Mike Lunn's, Product Manager of Capcom, blog, he's either being sincere or is more than excited to shift a few hundred units.

 

Those who will grab RE4:HD through PSN on its launch will get some free RE4 avatars, meanwhile the PS1 versions of Resident Evil 1 Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis would also be doled out at 50 percent less rates on the PS Store. These three titles would however be available for free to Plus subscribers with a 50% discount on RE4:HD.

I agree with both of you. It's funny how racism seems to only apply when it's against black people.

There's a difference when you're basing something on a cultural stereotype, rather than just a country, like a lot of RE5 was, including the unlockable outfit which included a bone necklace and tribal outfit for Sheva.
Resident Evil 4's only stereotype was Luis Sera's over the top voice acting and some minor European discrepencies. I do agree that there is a minor double standard, but race is still an issue with a lot of people.

You say that like it was her only costume? People just want to make something out of what is not actually there. Its a game that attempted to portray a certain emotion. I am sure that if the game took place in lets say Mexico and replace all the blacks with Mexicans, but still poor villages. It would be okay than right? Well than it is just fine for this too.

This article is garbage. What part of RE5 is racist? Your rebuttal sucks. You take back what you say then blame other people for saying it. Don't say it if you don't mean it. I am excited for RE4 HD though.

Ever heard of Sarcasm? I really expected you people to flame him on calling 5 a rip-off of 4. It was a good game, dammit! What, with the... and the...or the...nevermind, it was lame.

Okay, let's assume he's an idiot, and he meant that, can't you admit that the rest of the article was OK?

P,S : I did laugh at the "How dare they put black people in africa" comment. Well done, sir or ma'am. *Salutes*
