@@jtheconcept4143it also simply amazes me that they won't talk about the other main character being of color shooting white people in that game. So if they're not going to talk about that and say that's racist as well why the hell are they even talking about it at all. Because there's also like enemies in that game who also looked kind of Spanish in there too who you shoot. See I don't I don't get this it don't make any sense. They act as if this is an issue. When it's not I mean if you were playing Josh and sheva they would have left it alone. But because Chris is a white guy and shooting infected people of color who are pretty much not exactly really human anymore because they've lost most of their mental capacity to think pretty much. Then they think it's racist. But what's funny also is they don't even talk about you also shooting white people in that game when you do. I mean hell even the main villain of the game is white. So their argument is really pathetic. Also if people like you thought it was racist you would come right out and say hey we think that's racist you know. But I mean it's just a video game who gives a damn. IGN is just being really childish. Also like you said they didn't even complain about us going into Spain in resident Evil 4 and shooting Spanish people as a white guy. Or playing Ada Wong who is Asian and shooting Spanish people. Is there logic is very flawed. I mean I play resident Evil 5 I see Sheva who is one of my favorite female resident Evil characters who is of course a woman of color and she goes to shoot a white guy and I don't sit there and go oh that's racist. Because I don't care and honestly I am the opposite I agree with her when she shoots that white motherfucker coming up trying to kill her. He should be shot and killed which is actually why in the game when she gets grabbed by one of those white guys in the game especially I shoot that son of a bitch where I go up and melee attack him. Because of course I'm not willing to let her die. As like I said she's one of my favorite female resident Evil characters. It amazes me that these people state that skin color shouldn't matter but when it comes down to it it matters to them because they sit here doing this and they sit there and go this is racist. So their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Stuff like this just drives me nuts. Sorry for being so long but honestly I had to vent. I mean there should be no problem with this game at all. They should have left it alone and they're also hypocrites because IGN like gave it a 9 out of 10 when it came out. Because I was watching another video like yours that pointed that out. So they're literally being hypocrites. Because honestly I definitely agree with you that this pretty much shouldn't be an issue. Also if it is an issue it shouldn't be a white motherfucker coming out and saying it. It should be the group of people that that part of the game is connected to that should come out and say hey this is not okay if they have an issue with it.

Bet if it took place in Germany where my ancestors were that would be fine for him. Hell i have autism and thats why i hate the left. They always try to speak for me and not let me speak. RE 5 is in Africa thus majority black population hence more black zombies
The guy that played Josh in RE5 (T.J. Storm) said it the best : "It's in Africa. It's been in Antarctica, it's been in Spain, it's been in the Mid-West, it wasn't racist then, why should it be racist now?"
@@jtheconcept4143Honestly? If this resident evil game took place anywhere else then no one would have a problem with it but just because it takes place in Africa people all of a sudden wanna act like that resident evil 5 is somehow automatically racist, it really says more about IGN then capcom who created resident evil and as a fellow black person who is African American I do feel offended, they think they're the good guys when in reality they're not
I'm part white part native American, if resident evil 5 took place on a reservation somewhere in America and everyone on the reservation was infected and going around killing others , and chris redfield was there. I wouldn't even be pissed, I'd be like " alright dude let's find a gun and some ammo, we got infected to take out ",I'd be pissed off if they made Chris Redfield go to his knees and be like " I'm so sorry for being a white man waaaah 😢", I'd be yelling at the screen going " get the eff up and shoot mother-effer, they got weapons and their trying to kill you!!!!",
Fun fact: *The virus that would become many viral strains originated from West/Sub Saharan Africa from a flower named "Stairway from the sun". Also the queen ant that Alexia Ashford used to make the Veronica virus also originated from West Africa. So Africa is where this all started from and having a game set there makes 100% sense.*
Also, the word "zombie" is considered to come originally from the african words "nzambi" and "zumbi", so, with some creative liberties, it makes sense to make the flower and the queen ant to be natives to Africa and being the origin of the so called zombies in the world of the franchise.
if anything I think its quite a compliment since these types of viruses and the plants that they originated from originating from Africa due to the whole concept that Africa was believed to be one of the first cradle of human civilization

these game journalists are the same ones who cried about days gone not having enough black zombies which hurt the metic critic score ultimately causing sony not to make a part 2. you cant make these people happy🤦🏻♂️
Born and raised in Sierra Leone West Africa and playing this game back in the day I never once felt offended or thought about racism. Just to let the world know most Africans don’t even know what racism is let alone care for it
This SAME crap criticism came out when Re5 was first released. Reminder: Capcom is a Japanese company and to them it's just a gaijin fighting other gaijin
What frustrates me about this is that CAPCOM is probably looking at the Ubisoft situation with Assassin's Creed Shadows and how people are grilling them over Yasuke being black in Japan, and probably come to the conclusion that we would hate seeing Resident Evil 5 Remake today because it's a white guy in Africa. They probably don't see the difference and simply trust what IGN is saying and what they are seeing about Assassin's Creed Sahdows.
Bro you literally said everything I’ve been thinking about. This is why I’ll rather watch RUclipsrs any day of the week. I’m liking and subscribing. Keep spitting those raw facts my guy 🇧🇸🙌🏾
At about 9:16 the reviewer mentions the infected at "primitive." There's much needed context here. The natives here dressed in their native garb are not primitive. It's explained in a document that they do this ceremonial dress as tradition, and it's not their primary way of life. It just so happened they got infected while they were doing dress rehearsals. That said, does it make it more or less racist? I dunno. I didn't complain when Leon was out killing my people. I was just happy I could understand the Ganados.
5 is a bit different but I still loved the game. I wouldn't mind a remake just don't fuck it up and give an option for updated controls vs tank controls.
You know whats really sad, I have played this game when I was about 7 years old, then i played it again in highschool, then I played it again in college, Not 1 time did I ever say, “Oh thats racist” 😂
Its amazing how the IGN employee brings up that the FICTIONAL African country is a uncivilized diseased place where its inhabitants need to be gunned down. Now as someone who actually played this game on Xbox 360, I never thought of this place as some uncivilized land. I wonder how he came up with that, which shows his racism slipping. He looked at the game and said "Oh these people look like savages and are uncivilized." At no point in the game does anyone describe the location as uncivilized but he just did. These type of people will call themselves an ally and work to take the very things you like away from you. They will tell you that "you shouldn't like this or that because its bad" as if they know what is good and acceptable for you. As if you can't judge things for yourself. However, ask yourself this, where is his position on the other Resident Evil games that have taken place in FICTIONAL European countries that look run down and poor. After all a virus was released and the people turned into zombies how was the town suppose to look? IGN time is over.
12:03 I think i know this feeling in my own way. I have autism and the ONLY thing i want is to just be treated exactly the same as everyone else. I can not believe how hard i would cringe if i heard someone say something like oh its bad to make jokes about people with autism and speaking on my behalf. (Even tho when a stand-up comedian makes a joke about autism its extra funny to me because i have it.)
I'm on board for the RE5 remake that changed nothing except the olive drab cover. I have mod that does this for me, and it's beautiful (I honestly can't find the words rn. I'm sick. I want a good RE5 remake)
I wonder what movie character Black Minigunner J.J. from Resident Evil 4 is based on. I never really thought of how out of place he was in that game. I actually did not know that Mark Wilkins was black until I played Outbreak: File 2.
In a sense there is a white pill to look forward to. With Sweet Baby being burned at the stake, and some companies are trying to move away from ESG. Maybe RE5 can be made.
I know this is from an old video, but someone pleaae call 911 cause you slaughtered that IGN dude lol. Re 5 is not racist never was and never will be and im a latina. I didnt spaz out when leon was calling spaniards in Re 4 lol. Thnks for the truth J.
I love the RE franchise, and every time I play it, I think of zombies, infected and survival, never the R. Now, every time I play RE 4-6.......... Thanks, IGN. BTW, I'm not R, but now there's another FUN.....FUN way to play thanks to IGN because I have the whole entire RE games, and I'm going to HAVE FUN 🤣🤣
When i played RE5 its a great game when i see sheva I'm like damn badass in coming shit i wish i was a main villain in this game just to get mode down by sheva
If they truly believe these things they should refer to themselves as "settlers" and go on about how they don't deserve to live like they are in another peoples land yet continue to do so anyway as they don't want to lose their cushy lives like those people in the "consulting" companies. Also I love how after bashing RE5 for racism he goes "they doubled down and continued this in RE6" yet then only mentions the gameplay being the same, as killing chinese zombies is fine.
This by far is the best take on IGN’s recent piece of garbage. It legitimately makes me feel uncomfortable hearing your response because I didn’t realize just how patronizing, babying and essentially demeaning this whole video is until you pointed it out so succinctly.
Thank you. A normal person playing Resident Evil 5 wasnt playing the game and was thinking at first "wow we are shooting black people". No A normal person was playing RE5 and was thinking about killing zombies again, but the setting is different now. No one was complaining when we were in spain in Resident evil 4 killing the zombies there.
You are such a s real one for this video man, it has me laughing and seething lol. You're funny, and speaking truth. From how cowards pad out their talks before getting to the point, and regular people being sick of their bs. I wish more people would just say it straight to these actual culture vultures.
You communicated the issue and what is going on in a intelligent and easy to understand way. You said exactly what it is. Also, i still don't understand what is racist about the game.
This should show black consumers how they look at you. Regardless of how they look at it, whites also live in Africa and bad things happen everywhere, including Africa. It was a great game for the time and even if it doesnt get an remake, at least the original wont be messed up due to a woke remake. Love your takes.
As an Englishman, we do not claim this man. Do not bring backwards American racial lensing here, we don’t operate like this. We are a real melting pot as a small continental coastal island. Somalis and Nigerians are *NOT* the same, and they aren’t the same as Black British people either.
“Do not bring backwards American racial lensing here” right but in the UK yall do have an alarmingly fast growing neo-nazi community, hardly the standard to look up to for social justice💀
games are made for entertainment purpose and the story should relate to everything like place, people, culture to enhance immersion. But nitpicking on race, color, culture to bash video games is stupid and damaging to the entertainment industries and consumers alike.
@jtheconcept4143 the very fact that I have the right to speak publicly about the things I don't like about the country means that I have it better than alot of people in the world. I have internet and clean water a bed and a job. Things can be better, so much better. But if I was to play the victim card and say things are hard cause I'm black would genuinely undermine those who are suffering to this day. Child soldiers, slaves, forced harsh living environments are still a reality. So opposed to pandering to me, they need to help those who are actually in need of help.
If anything, I want more games set in Africa, 'cause there aren't many. The only other game I can name is Genshin Impact with Natlan being based off West Africa (and also Latin America). It's unfortunate that this setting is hesitating to use because of today's media demonizing anything that has a black person as an antagonist. Anybody can be villains, no matter what the color is.
Basically this is what it means Woke people: Omg isnt this game racist! Actual Black people who gives a solid answer: No, its cool. Woke people: OMG IT IS RACIST!! black people: we said no..didnt you hea- woke people: WE WILL PROTECT YOU AT ALL COSTS! black people: *sigh*
This type of behavior is why theres so many consultant groups like SBI because devs would probably be afraid to write a black villain or have their game take place in Africa and it shouldnt be this way. These people are so obsessed with race that they look for this stuff and manufacture all kinds of nonsense just to feel like they are fighting this just battle but in reality they just fuel resentment and water down creativity.
It’s like how the rock has in his contracts that he can’t lose in the movies he plays. There’s a hidden rule with black people in media now that you can’t in any circumstances show us in a bad light because “racism” 😒
I remember when people were saying how RE5 was racist when it first came out… It genuinely makes no sense… The game simply just takes place in Africa. Just like how RE4 took place in Spain. Like how some parts of RE6 take place in China. The game takes place in Africa, so of course there’s going to be black enemies… It’s just funny how the IGN guy’s virtue signaling is the actual racist part. Good video!

these game journalists are the same ones who cried about days gone not having enough black zombies which hurt the metic critic score ultimately causing sony not to make a part 2. you cant make these people happy🤦🏻♂️
Oh my god I forgot about that lmao 🤣! You can’t make this shit up smdh.
Born and raised in Sierra Leone West Africa and playing this game back in the day I never once felt offended or thought about racism. Just to let the world know most Africans don’t even know what racism is let alone care for it
This SAME crap criticism came out when Re5 was first released. Reminder: Capcom is a Japanese company and to them it's just a gaijin fighting other gaijin
Americans can’t see from that lense that’s too open minded for their liking lol
It was stupid back then, it's even more stupid today.
Only difference is now we give too much credits to idiots. Lol
What frustrates me about this is that CAPCOM is probably looking at the Ubisoft situation with Assassin's Creed Shadows and how people are grilling them over Yasuke being black in Japan, and probably come to the conclusion that we would hate seeing Resident Evil 5 Remake today because it's a white guy in Africa. They probably don't see the difference and simply trust what IGN is saying and what they are seeing about Assassin's Creed Sahdows.
I would LOVE another remake of RE in the form of RE 5 as long as they continue the trend of throwing another vr mode in it. I fuckin love it!!
I haven’t tried the VR mode but I always hear nothing but goods things about it
Bro you literally said everything I’ve been thinking about. This is why I’ll rather watch RUclipsrs any day of the week. I’m liking and subscribing. Keep spitting those raw facts my guy 🇧🇸🙌🏾
Fantastic video start to finish. What an ending.
lol thanks 👊🔥
14:00 I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
I love how honest you are.
ign just pointing his gun to themself FR
I loved the coop story it had. I was more focused on trying not to die to the chainsaw dude.
The chainsaw dude scared me back in the day lol
At about 9:16 the reviewer mentions the infected at "primitive."
There's much needed context here. The natives here dressed in their native garb are not primitive. It's explained in a document that they do this ceremonial dress as tradition, and it's not their primary way of life. It just so happened they got infected while they were doing dress rehearsals.
That said, does it make it more or less racist? I dunno. I didn't complain when Leon was out killing my people. I was just happy I could understand the Ganados.
It's funny because IGN gave RE5 a 9/10.
Exactly which means they liked it at the time lol
I'd like to see Resident Evil Revelations 3 starring Sheva ,real talk. 👍🏿👍🏿
5 is a bit different but I still loved the game. I wouldn't mind a remake just don't fuck it up and give an option for updated controls vs tank controls.
I didn't think about the zombies race, i was too busy looking for bullets, & green Herbs. Lol
You know whats really sad, I have played this game when I was about 7 years old, then i played it again in highschool, then I played it again in college, Not 1 time did I ever say, “Oh thats racist” 😂
It’s artificial hatred, Morgan freeman said it best “ how do you stop racism, STOP TALKING ABOUT IT” it’s as simple as that lol
I'm currently linking this video with Capcom localization team, I bet they will make a huge change for RE5 remake.
IGN gave RE5 a 9/10 in their review... So, they are recists too?
These people are crazy!
The ending message is... phenomenal! 👍😂
Thanks for the video man, every word you say is damn right
Remember playing this as a kid never thought about it this way I was just killing zombies
Its amazing how the IGN employee brings up that the FICTIONAL African country is a uncivilized diseased place where its inhabitants need to be gunned down. Now as someone who actually played this game on Xbox 360, I never thought of this place as some uncivilized land. I wonder how he came up with that, which shows his racism slipping. He looked at the game and said "Oh these people look like savages and are uncivilized." At no point in the game does anyone describe the location as uncivilized but he just did. These type of people will call themselves an ally and work to take the very things you like away from you. They will tell you that "you shouldn't like this or that because its bad" as if they know what is good and acceptable for you. As if you can't judge things for yourself. However, ask yourself this, where is his position on the other Resident Evil games that have taken place in FICTIONAL European countries that look run down and poor. After all a virus was released and the people turned into zombies how was the town suppose to look? IGN time is over.
Just found your channel and I’ve been watching all of your videos, keep up the good work, I subscribed and look forward to more, God bless you
Thanks for your support my guy! 👊🔥
This deserves way more views.
Thanks man 👊
12:03 I think i know this feeling in my own way. I have autism and the ONLY thing i want is to just be treated exactly the same as everyone else.
I can not believe how hard i would cringe if i heard someone say something like oh its bad to make jokes about people with autism and speaking on my behalf. (Even tho when a stand-up comedian makes a joke about autism its extra funny to me because i have it.)
Shoutout 2 this video u know how ign really means ignorant but as well like you said it’s not just them
Ignorant gaming network 👌
@@jtheconcept4143 haha yep
Perfect take. Took the words out of my mouth 🤙🏻 Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
Preach on!! I feel 100% the same.
I'm on board for the RE5 remake that changed nothing except the olive drab cover. I have mod that does this for me, and it's beautiful
(I honestly can't find the words rn. I'm sick. I want a good RE5 remake)
When this game was originally released, it was "racist" because black Zombies. Now it starts again.
Gotta keep racism alive apparently lol
I wonder what movie character Black Minigunner J.J. from Resident Evil 4 is based on.
I never really thought of how out of place he was in that game.
I actually did not know that Mark Wilkins was black until I played Outbreak: File 2.
There are black zombies in RE2 remake, somebody should tip IGN…
Poor Marvin. Rip
There were think pieces on this game and this exact subject 15 years ago when the game first came out. They literally reanimated a zombie for clicks.
Nobody was thinking this lol, until they brought it up 😂
In a sense there is a white pill to look forward to. With Sweet Baby being burned at the stake, and some companies are trying to move away from ESG. Maybe RE5 can be made.
I think Capcom back in the day would do it, the capcom now probably not so much
I know this is from an old video, but someone pleaae call 911 cause you slaughtered that IGN dude lol. Re 5 is not racist never was and never will be and im a latina. I didnt spaz out when leon was calling spaniards in Re 4 lol. Thnks for the truth J.
I love the RE franchise, and every time I play it, I think of zombies, infected and survival, never the R. Now, every time I play RE 4-6..........
Thanks, IGN. BTW, I'm not R, but now there's another FUN.....FUN way to play thanks to IGN because I have the whole entire RE games, and I'm going to HAVE FUN 🤣🤣
When i played RE5 its a great game when i see sheva I'm like damn badass in coming shit i wish i was a main villain in this game just to get mode down by sheva
If they truly believe these things they should refer to themselves as "settlers" and go on about how they don't deserve to live like they are in another peoples land yet continue to do so anyway as they don't want to lose their cushy lives like those people in the "consulting" companies.
Also I love how after bashing RE5 for racism he goes "they doubled down and continued this in RE6" yet then only mentions the gameplay being the same, as killing chinese zombies is fine.
I enjoyed The Almighty Loli's review of resident evil 5. He tears these types of people down for calling RE5 racist.
This by far is the best take on IGN’s recent piece of garbage. It legitimately makes me feel uncomfortable hearing your response because I didn’t realize just how patronizing, babying and essentially demeaning this whole video is until you pointed it out so succinctly.
gotta agree with IGN on this one.
Thank you. A normal person playing Resident Evil 5 wasnt playing the game and was thinking at first "wow we are shooting black people".
No
A normal person was playing RE5 and was thinking about killing zombies again, but the setting is different now.
No one was complaining when we were in spain in Resident evil 4 killing the zombies there.
You are such a s real one for this video man, it has me laughing and seething lol. You're funny, and speaking truth. From how cowards pad out their talks before getting to the point, and regular people being sick of their bs. I wish more people would just say it straight to these actual culture vultures.
This is goofy man, people are goofy
Straight goof
You communicated the issue and what is going on in a intelligent and easy to understand way. You said exactly what it is.
Also, i still don't understand what is racist about the game.
This should show black consumers how they look at you. Regardless of how they look at it, whites also live in Africa and bad things happen everywhere, including Africa. It was a great game for the time and even if it doesnt get an remake, at least the original wont be messed up due to a woke remake. Love your takes.
As an Englishman, we do not claim this man. Do not bring backwards American racial lensing here, we don’t operate like this. We are a real melting pot as a small continental coastal island. Somalis and Nigerians are *NOT* the same, and they aren’t the same as Black British people either.
All different groups with various cultures the same with white people. We’re all unique in our own ways 👌
“Do not bring backwards American racial lensing here” right but in the UK yall do have an alarmingly fast growing neo-nazi community, hardly the standard to look up to for social justice💀
games are made for entertainment purpose and the story should relate to everything like place, people, culture to enhance immersion. But nitpicking on race, color, culture to bash video games is stupid and damaging to the entertainment industries and consumers alike.
He's (IGN guy) literally petting his shoulder saying: "I'm such a hero" while he puts on a red superhero cape 🤣
Resident evil 5 isn't a racial conflict, it's bioterrorism.
When they remake this they better keep the coop
I dont think america is perfect, but i will hapily stay in America
I will gladly stay here lol
huh, couldn’t be me…👀
@jtheconcept4143 the very fact that I have the right to speak publicly about the things I don't like about the country means that I have it better than alot of people in the world. I have internet and clean water a bed and a job. Things can be better, so much better. But if I was to play the victim card and say things are hard cause I'm black would genuinely undermine those who are suffering to this day. Child soldiers, slaves, forced harsh living environments are still a reality. So opposed to pandering to me, they need to help those who are actually in need of help.
"Resident Evil is a survival horror series"😂😂😂
Survival - Yes
Horror - NO!
1 of the game's protagonist is a strong independent black woman who actually has a personality, what more do these guys want?
If anything, I want more games set in Africa, 'cause there aren't many. The only other game I can name is Genshin Impact with Natlan being based off West Africa (and also Latin America). It's unfortunate that this setting is hesitating to use because of today's media demonizing anything that has a black person as an antagonist. Anybody can be villains, no matter what the color is.
Basically this is what it means
Woke people: Omg isnt this game racist!
Actual Black people who gives a solid answer: No, its cool.
Woke people: OMG IT IS RACIST!!
black people: we said no..didnt you hea-
woke people: WE WILL PROTECT YOU AT ALL COSTS!
black people: *sigh*
This type of behavior is why theres so many consultant groups like SBI because devs would probably be afraid to write a black villain or have their game take place in Africa and it shouldnt be this way. These people are so obsessed with race that they look for this stuff and manufacture all kinds of nonsense just to feel like they are fighting this just battle but in reality they just fuel resentment and water down creativity.
It’s like how the rock has in his contracts that he can’t lose in the movies he plays. There’s a hidden rule with black people in media now that you can’t in any circumstances show us in a bad light because “racism” 😒
I remember when people were saying how RE5 was racist when it first came out… It genuinely makes no sense… The game simply just takes place in Africa. Just like how RE4 took place in Spain. Like how some parts of RE6 take place in China. The game takes place in Africa, so of course there’s going to be black enemies… It’s just funny how the IGN guy’s virtue signaling is the actual racist part. Good video!
