the graphics are looking sweet, and things are getting more realistic, especially the light/dark effect. only issue is the fact that gameplay is almost exactly like resident evil 4, but the game aint coming out until march '09, so who knows. I can't wait for this game.
I bet wesker is gonna be in this, since chris is the main character and wesker hates him with a passion.

Pointing out that this game is Japanese skirts the issue completely. The Japanese are catering to an American audience as well as the Japanese audience, and the subject of the game is the American industrial complex. Oh, and the characters are Americans. And the people who are playing this game, who are interacting with the subject matter as it is presented in the game (for all intensive purposes) are Americans. I mean, what do you think of the Japanese portrayal of American soldiers going into Africa and killing Africans? (That they are "zombies" skirts the issue as well because, as you can see from the video, they look and behave like human beings). Even the misnomer "zombie" is misleading. They aren't zombies so much as they are humans infected with a disease, making it decidedly in poor taste to argue that they aren't human anymore since millions of Africans are infected with HIV, malaria, and TB among other life-ending diseases.

Gamers will come up with any excuse to defend their precious games. I'm a gamer and it makes me sad to see this. If you are going to defend games, you have to engage with them rationally and sensibly. Video games are a product of American industry and American entertainment. Thus, they share the values of pop culture America. That should give you the first clue as to the problems that you WILL inherently find in video games. I mean, do gamers actually believe that there are NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER with video games? Just like movies, music, and books, video games have problems in the way they address social, political, racial, and gender issues. No question. Now, whether you want to engage with the issues rationally or blindly put up a slew of weak, stupid defenses (as people here are doing and being easily taken apart by this ajay42 person) is up to you. Clearly, the mass of gamers have spoken on how they are going to deal with it.

A few things:

1. The game looks incredible. I think choosing to balance the game with light and dark is an excellent decision, it keeps it playable, and it keeps it from being too monotonous. A game like Devil May Cry can be too consistently dark, and could learn from this strategy, which we've seen successfully implemented in Halflife 2, for example. You can't wait to escape from Ravenholm back to the sunshine.

2. The game is set in Africa, the majority of people who live in Africa have dark skin, and the character happens to be a light skinned journalist that has been in several other titles. It's just not racist, it's a bold decision to take it out of the traditional setting and into Africa, I'm really looking forward to it.

3. Anyone who says that racism or slavery are dead is either completely misinformed or completely delusional. There are more slaves TODAY than there have been at any point in history, and even ignoring the fact that the vast majority of those slaves are dark skinned, racism is alive and well in all parts of the world, just look at the tension regarding this whole Obama mess.

Also, the discussion of racism is stupid, at least, as it relates to this game. The connection between racism and this game only exists in the minds of people who are looking for reasons to be offended.

That said, racism is still a problem, and will almost certainly continue to be one for a depressingly long while. All those little racist bastards on Live are going to teach their own spawn to be racist bastards themselves, after all.

I hate it when people complain about RE4's mechanics. You want to run and shoot? Play one of the hundreds of fast-paced games where you can do that. RE4 is a game that you need learn to play defensively. It's a game that's about taking defensive positions and holding them.

A game where you can move while shooting becomes a game about circle-strafing. Still-shooting makes RE4 a game about putting a bullet in that villager's brain, because if you don't do it quickly you are going to die.

That amazing opening village fight would be terrible if you could just backpedal away from the mob while taking shots at them the whole way. Instead you need to use the architecture to enable you to survive.

Plus, it's a lot more realistic. In a game that's largely about tension, I think realism can be a real asset.

REDFIELD8 — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:41:34 MDT

On the racism topic: I'm Spanish. I'm a hardcore RE veteran. I loved RE4. Didn't think for a second that it was bad to see my fellow citizens being beat up to death by a pretty American agent. The discussion ends here. But... actually, I resemble more Leon that those fugly Ganados (why wouldn't the developers make us Spaniards a little better looking? Only asking).

On the demo: the death animations are OBVIOUSLY placeholders, such as most of the other motions seen. Right now, it seems only the graphical updates have been implemented (by the way, better graphics than MGS4. There, I said it!), and movement and other feats will be added at oncoming months.

On RE5: Chris Redfield pwns. He did at RE1. He did at REC:V (though the WeskMan bitch-slapped his sorry ass at the finale). And he will at RE5 after visiting for lenghty periods the Capcom Extreme Makeover Saloon (TM), also Jill Valentine's favourite place (remember Jill's evolution from RE1 to RE3, mostly in the breast department?)

By the way, the commenter who came up with the idea that Chris had "beefed up" in order to pwn Wesker in case of another showdown gets a cookie. Nice thinking, man!

When people play the race card for things like this, it makes it so that when racial injustices actually occur, less people will care about it and won't see it as all that important. That is my main gripe with people complaining about the villagers here. We all know that it'll blow over eventually, but the social reprecussions for people making wild accusations like they've made with RE5 are pretty deep.

If the politically correct/uptight/self-righteous dopes out there try to ruin this game for me I am going to be sorely tempted.

I didn't hear a peep when Resident Evil 4 came out and "white-guy" Leon was blowing the heads off Spanish Europeans. Why should this game receive any more attention than the last one?

Would it make you feel more comfortable if all the zombies were rednecks from a "red state" like Texas? Sorry, but the undead are equal-opportunity now.

@will: I was cruising through the comments when I stumbled upon this nugget of enlightenment:

"Racism is a leftover of a previous generation kept alive by people getting all upset over trivial issues such as this."

I... do you... just... WHAT THE FUCK??? Are you serious? Dude, where the fuck do you live? Can I move there, to this magical world where racism is just the residue of our ancestors? I'm not saying that the whole "Capcom hates black people" argument has any merit, but come-the-fuck on. That's just an ignorant thing to suggest.

fucking ass, the character is american. fuck it. i cant believe people don't even think there is something to TALK about here. Plenty of worthwhile things have serious racist overtones that should be addressed (Lord of the Rings comes quickly to mind.) Unfortunately gamers are such a bunch of defensive adolescent fuckwits that they are scared of any form of rational discourse on their beloved medium (even as they simultaneously demand it to be taken seriously as an art form and/or mature form of entertainment.)

Since 1995 Resident Evil has only ever been about giving the player an intense and scary experience.

If there's any company about to comment on race relations in America, well, let me tell you, it ain't Capcom.

If you're familiar with videogames, then you should be familiar with at least one common bond: All games try to provide an experience. Resident Evil has always been about scaring you. Players have understood this since the game's inception.

Then, all of a sudden, an ignorant blogger who admits to having no prior experience with the series, brands Resident Evil 5 as "racist." Why? Because a white man is killing black people.

Why have we given so much attention to such a stupid opinion? If you'll be playing the race card, then I'd like to play it myself: Resident Evil has been killing Caucasian zombies since 1995. Where was this blogger then? Or, better yet, where were all the upset white people? Or, even better, where were ever-paranoid white nationalists?

No one said anything. When the enemies in RE4 started speaking Spanish, no outcry from Spain ever came forward. Why? Answer that one.

Black, white, red, yellow, or green, I'll be playing this game just like every game I've been playing since I was 8 years old. C.J. was black killing Russians in GTA:SA. 50 Cent was killing white dudes in Bulletproof. Claude Speed was killing Jamaicans and Tommy Vercetti was killing Haitians in the GTA series. But guess what? It's part of the story. Race isn't an issue with me. RE5 seems to convey a seemingly serious story within the series and I'm hoping that Chris and Wesker square off yet again. Since when did we get all PC about video games anyway? ;-)

Shalashaska — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:44:09 MDT

@DaiMacculate: I was thinking the same thing when I read "RE5 light and shadow themes". From a gameplay standpoint, it sounds great that they're trying to use the environment to affect visibility and survivability, but sadly, someone casually perusing the site might see it in the previously mentioned context, considering the uproar over it.

Regardless of that, I think that the sunlight and shadows is a great idea. All the other Resident Evils are played at night. Visual shocks (like zombie dogs through windows and lickers around corners) are constantly used, so the addition of this element just makes it one more place you think is safe but isn't.

The animations look nice, a little smoother than RE4 had. I wish that they saw that they did well with RE4 and instead of just relying solely on that gameplay, they tweak it with reloading or shooting while walking (you don't have to be running). Leon was hired as a top bodyguard and Chris Redfield looks spec-ops (Mr. Universe, too...). I hate seeing cutscenes with extremely agile protagonists only to be thrusted back into their clunky limited control. I'll just scream at the TV, "I'm overwhelmed in this barn cuz I can't sidestep or jump so I got killed but in the last cutscene I was doing backflips and spinning knives! What gives?!" That aside, I am excited for it.

I have 2 sides about RE5 at the moment

One is like YAY this is going to look incredible, RE4 was amazing on gamecube and this will be even better!

And the other is like

Oh good god the controls are going to be terrible compared to the wii version of RE4.

Really if you try and play RE4 on cube after RE4 on Wii it feels like such a massive step backwards. It's a shame because now when I play RE5 im just going to be thinking how much better it could control on wii.
I dunno if the improved graphics are worth it or not, it's not as though RE4 was bad looking.

@lazyartist: Yea, they did the same thing in RE:UC.

@mattjop1033: LOl, yea. I think we've all noticed. Lmao!

@Random J: I don't know...they ported the hell outta RE4. What makes you tihnk Capcom won't do the same hing to RE5? If it'll make make money, they'll do it. That's really all htey care about about anymore. Not making good games, but making games that'll make money. That's why they turned the RE series into an action series, not survival horror, as its supposed to be.

@Volrath: I agree 100%. Capcom should've just let the series end while it was still good. That way it could be remembered as a great series. Hell, even though I loved CVX, I would've been happy if they ended it with RE3. They could still make the spin-offs (Outbreak, Dead Aim, etc) cuz they're not part of the main storyline. But as far as making actual sequels to the main storyline, they should've just ended it with RE3. -_-

@Crawl to China: Those camera angles were one of the best things in the older RE games. You probably thought they were bad just cuz you weren't used to them. I don't know of any other game series that used fixed camera angles like RE did.

@laencythe: They're probably already planning on porting it to the Wii. As I said before, Capcom has gotten money-hungry so if they think it'll make money they'll port it in a heartbeat. -_-

Btw, same goes about "the worst camera angles, ever seen" comment in regard to previous RE games. These camera angles have been carefully chosen to increase tension and are a vital part of the old survival horror games. Not to forget the controls... they have that clumsy feel for a reason. But of course the average game consumer knows so much more about game design and mechanics than the actual game developers themselves.

"Taking Resident Evil as an example; in previous games the zombies have been white. I'm white and I never took offence. So why is this new game suddenly considered racist? It's because of the leftovers from a previous generation."

LOL. A white guy who thinks racism is dead? No kidding. There's a thing out there called 'real world conditions.' In real world conditions people of color face an inherent discrimination (whether that be in jobs, level of pay, housing, whatever.) Sociological data consistently bares this out, it is as close to a social fact as one can come. There is also a LONG history of systematic, sanctioned white on black violence and oppression in this country and of European on African colonialism and imperialism (including, I might add, in the Caribbean.) So where does RE4 fall in that context symbolically? Absolutely nowhere. There is no long history of American infiltration in the Spanish affairs in Iberia!

Where does RE5 fall? Right smack in the middle of that. Do I think its 100% intentional? Not really. Do I think it is playing on unconscious racism? Hell yeah. Do I think racism is rampant in gaming? Hell yeah. All people do on Xbox Live is scream racial (and sexual) epithets. Hell, go to that Mii sharing channel and even on the friggin Wii you'll see row after row of Hitler Miis.

This pretend-equality in either the real world or in the symbolic is a complete and utter pile of horseshit. Just from that footage you can tell that the producers at the very least are actively playing off the racist fears of players (i.e. playing off how they think at least most players will be inherently afraid of even the non-infected black villagers.) One could probably even make the argument that they are taking a bit of the piss out of some imagined 'villager gait' (i.e. saying HA look they walk like zombies already!)

But regardless of these details, if you don't think a huge % of people will be playing out the race war fantasies on this thing and a huge # of others will be having the quietly suppressed racist instincts nurtured by this thing, you are absolutely insane. (I'm NOT saying it will cause violence ala Jack Thompson, but if there is one thing that our interaction with media definitely does do is it helps shape our views of others, particularly unfamiliar others.)

Casual_Hardcore — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 09:53:23 MDT

Not being able to walk while shooting or reloading is a fundamental part of RE4's (and therefore presumably RE5's) game mechanic. Don't nag about it, if you don't understand it. Changing that would not make the game better, it would make it different, i.e. reducing survival tactics and increasing conventional shooter style tactics of gameplay.

Resident Evil 4 was truly an amazing game. There was a lot of variety to it too, going from a village, to some mines, to a castle and then through caves each with their own spin on enemies. The Merchants were a great touch too. It felt very old school in respect to these changes in environment, almost a level-like structure.

And...The bosses were epic! Bosses FTW. I wonder what monstrosities this game will have? If any, I wonder if the boss like structure was due to Shinji Mikami's influence.

We also have RE4 to thank for a lot of the design decisions in Gears of War, as stated by Cliffy B in his lecture at GDC last year.

Well anyway, RE4 with new enemies/abilities/setting?
Sounds amazing to me.

That game looks awesome. From what I could tell, pretty visuals is an understatement.

Only issue I might have is the creepiness could be lost due to the setting in daylight and open areas. That was something which made the first two RE games so special to me (I didn't play any of the later ones).

See, people? That's how you make a comment without thinking of racism and interpreting it into everything someone says. Just let the game be a fucking game. There is no racist background.

Crawl to China — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 09:28:26 MDT

I haven't played any of the RE games. Mainly because one of the older ones i saw had the worst camera angles I'd ever seen in my life. Maybe I'll consider this one, since the camera angles were probably fixed in/before the last installment, and the graphics/lighting on this one look fantastic.

@Demmar
I think it's good that character is not in the middle of screen because you can see more clearly what is in front of you. It's important here because you can't change y-axis of camera like in other games so the character would be in your way.

I can't wait for this game. Im playing now RE4 on PC and its strange but it doesn't support analog sick. Anyway, I think its great game.

@DaiMacculate:
i don't know, i actually kind of hope that the creators of the game are intelligent enough to reflect on the perceived racism of this game by reflecting on it through subtextual gameplay. it seems like the scenario presented in the game could be ripe for a discussion of post-colonial, capitalist and political agendas in (what appears to be) a 'third world' setting. if the narrative of the story, or at least the narrative created by the public surrounding the story, can be replicated formally within the game (what they seem to be saying with the 'light and dark' element), that could "elevate' re5 to the level of 'art'.

But where do you think those fucknuts learned that shit from? Their racism is based on their grandparents or possibly parents views. It is not because they are slave traders or something, or that they have a hatred for people from a different culture. It's because they saw someone else doing it.

I'm not talking about racism in other countries. That is a related but different subject to racism in countries where it could be easier avoided as we are supposed to be considered 'developed'.

Even during these preliminary stages the game's looking great. The environment looks partly destructible and enemies look gritty.

Speaking of enemies. Did anyone see what happened when Chris killed one of them? They MELTED into a pile of goo/slime. Hmm I wonder how they're going to integrate that into the storyline?!

They're even rendering the handgun very good too! Considering most of the people won't be able to see it that detailed. Unless they examine it at the inventory screen.

@DaiMacculate:

Fair comments, mostly. Apologies for jumping to conclusions.

However, just to make clear, I wasn't intending to make out that RE5 was a pivotal factor. More that it was an example of situations that seem to light up these arguments. I am perfectly aware that racism has been going on for centuries (although I personally wouldn't use the bible as an accurate reference.) I meaning that if it is ever going to become a thing of the past, it's the attitudes that spark arguments like this need to change rather than starting the argument in the first place.

@will: Did you read my post at all? I said I "feared this perception". It is not my perception, it comes from other people on the internet, this site and others. Most notably the site "Black Looks": [kotaku.com]

Ctrl-F my comments in that thread if you want my full opinion on the subject, and please learn to frackin read before you go off on someone, there is enough hate in the world as it is ;)

Oh and

Racism is a leftover of a previous generation kept alive by people getting all upset over trivial issues such as this.

Living in Greensboro, NC (google "88 seconds in Greensboro" if you need context for that), I have to completely disagree with all the assumptions behind that statement; Racism has been with us for thousands of years (read the Bible for just one example), and it will not die out this generation, nor likely the next several. That has nothing to do with RE5, just I find your statement completely ignorant of the reality of the issues surrounding Race in the United States and the world in general.

@The_nub_next_door: I appreciate that somebody did see what I was getting at. I thought about that too, but in a way that would be bowing to what I agree would be unjust pressure. My main thing is, Capcom needs to be looking at how to make it clear in press statements and interviews that the focus of the game is zombies and saving the villages/etc from them, not mowing down people based on skin color. I'm just not sure using "light and dark" as a theme or the game is a positive step towards that goal, or that Capcom is fully aware there would even be a potential problem here ;)

little_dragon — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 06:38:02 MDT

I don't think that they're using RE4s animations. That would be a complete waste of resources. Animations need a skeleton and that needs to be rigged to the model. Often during the rigging process you make changes to the 3d model of the character, since you discover parts of the mesh that don't work that well with the animations.

And once you make changes to the mesh, you'll need to change the UV layout and very often the textures as well.

Building a character model, rigging it with a skeleton from a 4-5 year old game and then doing everything a second time with the new animations... Maybe they did it with very early builds for rapid prototyping of gameplay elements and settings, but I don't really thinkt that they've got any old assets left in the game at this point in development.

But that doesn't mean that those animations are final. Allways remember: Every game looks like shit until it doesn't. And then you box and ship it.

@DaiMacculate:

Your bringing up the racism argument again over the mention of 'Light and dark'?

It's unfortunate that people like you exist. Racism is a leftover of a previous generation kept alive by people getting all upset over trivial issues such as this.

If you ask me, the modern day racists are the people like you who attempt to start these arguments on behalf of everyone. That woman who initially started this nonsense was a complete and utter moron. Her only interest was to gather attention. As is yours.

Taking Resident Evil as an example; in previous games the zombies have been white. I'm white and I never took offence. So why is this new game suddenly considered racist? It's because of the leftovers from a previous generation.

What we need to do is stop making a big deal out of this shit. If you swear in front of a little kid, he's going to learn how to swear. If you start making a computer game with black people in it out to be racist your going to teach that same kid about racism.

I know that there are racists in this world, and there is nothing wrong with teaching our history and letting people know about racism in the past but mass media controversy is not the way to do it.

So, shut the hell up and go complain about boobs on the telly or something.

Ok, I'm a bit worried now...given the controversy about race that is already surrounding this game (see older Kotaku posts about it, several hundred comments long...), the theme is "light and dark"?

I'm not arguing for the game's creators being racist, I don't think thats a conscious thing in the making of this game at all, but I can see already that what looks to be a masterfully produced successor to the classic that is RE4 is at risk of being obscured by this perception.
