RE4 Spaniard enemies: IGN 👍
RE5 African enemies: IGN 👎
I am from spain. Nobody here was offended by killing Spaniards in Resident Evil 4.
What did seem strange to people was that, being set in Spain, all the zombies had a Mexican accent. That's all.
RE6 Chinese enemies: IGN 👍
Jajajaja (jp)
Agarrenlo!!!
@@javiersanchez67From Spain too. Same opinion
"Africans aren't allowed to be zombies." - IGN
It's allowed if these were super intelligent zombies using advanced weaponry.
lmfao that's the most idiotic thing IGN will said if they said that.
Which is even funnier because the "zombie" word and myth came from African cultures
@@RansomMemoryAccessdid you play the later part of the game where they have als? And machine guns and Gatling guns?
Yeah thats pretty racist for IGN to think that.
As an African, when I played the game it reminded me of places I know. This was my introduction to the entire Resident Evil franchise. Me and my brother loved playing this game
Ik that’s one of the best feelings in the world
Respect for being a good and compassionate human being. And I’m happy that you have fond memories with siblings that’s also a great feeling 👍🔥
Sorry, but your opinion doesn't matter. You have to listen to the white, Californian hipsters working at IGN. They know what's best for you!
Niiiiice,you do understand that´s only a game and not related to real life because if we go there Call of duty shoultn´t exist because they are killing people aswell.
15:00 “one with a black protagonist” cuts to Sheva. Did this guy even play the game??
He's a game journalist, so probably not.
Spain: OK
Romania: OK
USA: OK
Africa: That's racist.
China: OK
Afghanistan: Ok.
But lets be realistic. If there were any place on the planet where a zombie-like outbreak would likely be, it would be either Africa or China. Ebola pretty much only exists in Africa. Ebola is fukky.
china: OK
Middle east : OK
"We need more diversity in games". Game set in Africa = rAcIsT
Game set in America with Africans invading = GOTY
game is literally based on killing people of color dude what are you talking about ? the game isnt overall racist but theres alot of scenes that are questionable which if removed then re5 remake can be a thing
@@honestlyconfused69420and RE4 is based around killing Spaniards, your point?
killing spanish enemies in re4 not racist ?
@@honestlyconfused69420
@@honestlyconfused69420I don’t think they refer to themselves as people of colour in Africa.
I think they call themselves Africans the same way I’d call myself European.
The game is set in Africa, therefore the zombies are….
Resident Evil 5 was dope. Even played it with my mom, back in the days. Hell she played it for years, unlocked everything and became big franchise fan. It was great time.
Gaming with your mom is legendary
Was good did she teach sentence?
haha same
Based Mom
You have an awesome mom
I live in Africa and finished RE5 on every difficulty. Some parts of Africa do look like this lol. If anything thanks for the rep Capcom 😂
what parts of Africa are you talking about that doesn't like resident evil 5? You sure you didn't make that up?

@bigman88george3 ur good bro

Calling a Resident Evil 5 remake "racist" is like calling IGN a reputable journalist site.
No...i'd say RE5 is pretty racist when you get to the swamp village lol
@@Nekros4442there are tribes like that in africa😂
@Nekros4442 not a single time that I've played it have I ever thought... wow that's racist..
Stupid take @@Nekros4442
the thing I don't understand is why people still care or pay attention to anything IGN has to say
The fact that he said turning the main character into a black man somehow would make it all better is telling in and of itself
Meanwhile ignoring that there’s a black female character that aids you the entire way and is a playable character.
But we already got Sheva, she is as important as Chris in the game and she gets the actual best weapon of the entire game. (That bow is life)
Gotta put that Detroit representation
Saying that while the black protagonist that already exists is on the screen is wild.
Everyone is forgetting about my man Josh 😥
Next thing you know we will be complaining that the zombies in village are gay and it needs to be rewritten...
😂
ZULUL y r u gӕ?
I don't want to live in this world anymore, I just want to go back to 2005 when everything and everyone was normal and mostly sane.
This timeline feels like I died sometime in the 2010’s and went somewhere between purgatory and hell
You think this game didn't have backlash when it came out ?
@@agentk3388 The world ended in 2012 and this is all a collective deathbed hallucination dream
No one was sane at any point you just didn't notice. Hot coffee for GTA SA, numerous COD scandals because videogames cause violence, carmageddon, doom and Harry Potter Christian panic in the 90s to 2000s.
Wake up.

“If only it had a black protagonist” IGN says as it lingers on a shot of Sheva. 🤦♀️
Dear God what even is happening inside the journalist's brain

@@LumbyMcGumbyhis gray matter has been replaced with play-doh
Let me do you one better; "If only it had a black male protagonist." (If you know the guy from IGN narrating this video personally, you'll know why I said that.)
Then it would be highlighting the black on black crime in America
You can't spell IGNorant without IGN.
An old but forever gold statement haha
Sweet baby ign.
Nice.
That's over 25 years old lmao
I believe IGN was woke before it was cool, no?
I like that for the position IGN has, they absolutely HAVE to just ignore the fact that Chris and Sheva got there too late and the outbreak was well underway long before they arrived, which is why Chris got sent there in the first place. The scene where the announcer infects a guy with Uroboros is supposed to show how the local population is already infected and controlled by the parasite AND how they deal with the uninfected, which explains the reaction of people at the beginning when Chris gets too close.
I personally loved Resident Evil 5. The people saying it lacks in horror elements never got to the African swamp section cause those Infected Crocodiles absolutely had me reeling anytime I was exploring for the BSAA Emblems. ❤️
Also the lab with the Lickers. And the first encounter with the Reapers.
I get your point but two bits in the entire game plus the lickers is not what horror means. They went with action for 2 games, I hated it and they stopped finally.
@@BygoneTaside from from re 5 and 6 8 is also least scary re game yet no one hates it
In fact its even worse than re 5 because re 5 was atleast about zombies
After playing the RE2 remake, I understand why people didn’t like this game. To me, it’s totally stripped of the horror. That being said, I still had a lot of fun playing this game with my friends. I would love to see this game remade.
Alligators/Crocodiles in games don't scare me.
Now if RE5 had a section where you swim underwater with a bunch of sharks I might have been terrified lol
Depending on the game, sharks are the most terrifying thing for me.
They don't scare me in Tomb Raider Underworld but they absolutely terrify me in Far Cry games.
I stopped really caring after the narrator said that “the Africans were showing aggression before they were infected.” They were infected the whole time, you just didn’t know it yet. That was the WHOLE POINT of the intro of the game. Same as the rug pull from RE4 when the first villager attacks you.
Goes to show how much they actually paid attention to the game. They're so focused on race and identity they can't see that they're the racists.
IGN: let’s go complain about that resident evil 5 game without knowing the game at all
5 and 6 had the dumbest and most cringe worthy story telling in the whole series. Would love Capcom to just redo both games with brand new story telling and even new settings. Never liked the Africa setting. Just didn't feel right. Go to Tokyo or something. Get back to the city and slow things down bringing it back to horror over just another generic third person action shooter.
@@NeutralGloomBothow would that be a remake, it sounds like you want them to just make a new game and call it RE5
Exactly
It takes a racist to find racism where there is none.
Remember people have been killing White people in games way more than they killed any other race.
should this counted as a Racism as well?
So true nowadays.
SO well said 👍
They just want to race swap Chris red field.
IGN is racist and needs ti be canceled
I lived almost 3 years in Zambia, Lusaka. Went to school and everything (I was 10 years old when we moved to the U.S.) I spent 4 years prior in Tanzania, Mbeya. I'm originally from South Africa btw. I'm 25 now and I remember in 2022 how far Africa has come but I still see so many areas that look like RE5 but less exaggerated of course. However, there are so many towns and cities that have boomed from industry, I think mainly from Chinese investors, as the Canadian/ European companies have been dipping out lately
Just to say, nobody in Africa sees this as racist. If skin color is such an issue, then why don't they just go ahead and make the player character have a few tones darker in skin. Rewrite that, and we won't care but it will give them a lot to think about 😮💨🙄
I remember being in middle school, maybe 6th grade. one day we had a substitute teacher that singled out the only black kid we had in class and told us we shouldn't treat him any different and we cant chose who we are when we're born like he was disabled or something. before that day nobody did treat him different. I never once thought about the fact that he was black. it never crossed by mind. after that day I noticed many people treated him different and pretty much walked on egg shells around him which obviously made him uncomfortable. the whole dynamic changed after that day. her doing that pretty much created the thing she didn't want to happen.
Leftist women are so strange.
Who knew that a video game set in Africa would feature Africans primarily?
But it's racist because Africans aren't protagonists duh
they were never the protagonist 👴@@Hekk.
with IGN "logic" the whole Far Cry franchise, apart 1,5 and New Dawn is racist
but seriously, this whole IGN thing shouldn't even be acknowledged, I mean, they are the butt of the jokes whenever they are part of a conversation, so why do people actually give a shit when they say anything at all to begin with, no need to give them any attention, even if it is well deserved negative attention
@Hekk. Apart from the co op partner you play with for the whole game
that doesnt make sense lol
they speak for other races almost like they think their input is superior in some way
low expectations. i see it everywhere , it is like when you go on reddit and for some reason if someone posts a picture of themselves doing something and they happen to be black they get upvoted to the top every time. it is strange
White savior complex
They live in the actual, real life, upside down (which ironically is more frightening than the fictious upside down in Stranger Things)
They want you to look/dress/eat/read/watch/play/act a certain way.
Malcolm X told us about people like this.
This "gaming journalist" needs to be fired.
RE5 massive selling point was the Coop. The game has a higher level of action than previous games because it was Chris and his partner sent to find out what was going on and respond appropriately. There weren't targets to escort and this is 5 games deep with us being VERY aware of what the Umbrella corporation is all about and what they do. It's supposed to more action packed because you are investigating and taking down a bio weapons manufacture at this point not playing chaperone to the presidents kid or trying to escape chaos that has unfolded around you.
Like 80% of the bosses are experimental BoWs that Umbrella had every intent of deploying!
Lost me as soon as he said the game main issue was racism, get the fuck out of here.
Exactly mate, I was agreeing with the video so far, like, man, those are good points, indeed they would have to change a lot of stuff...to that old argument
When they pointed out the main problem with this game is racism, suddenly RE5 became a good game to the majority of RE fans and 70% of its haters disappears
Tiptoeing until their main point; then you just don’t need to play games anymore since people gonna discard yo stupid opinion anyways.
@@The_Menendez not really. Its a mediocre game at most of the time but people know that the issue isnt "muh Racismo" so naturally they rallied up against the idiots who said that
Also Josh Stones member of the BSAA West Africa branch our giga chad helicopter pilot, idk why but I remember him lol
Game set in Africa, black zombies: bad
Game set in Africa, white zombies: bad
No game ever set in Africa: bad
If only a God-sent woke savior would save all rational peoples from this troubling and superfluous problem we supposedly have. 😆
just stop making games
Concert set in Africa, Rob Zombie: good
Game set in Africa, the people are living in tribes: bad because you are implying they are savages.
Game set in Africa, the people doesn't live in tribes and are civilized: bad because this reminds me of colonization.
@@welton9748 The solution: Make every game set in a wakanda ripoff. When they said 'Wakanda Forever' it was so real we didn't realize
What's funny is that they forget that the secondary protagonist is Sheva, a badass Black woman who is by your side from start to end of the game.
Not to mention the Black Special Forces team and agent (forgot his name) that saves your life halfway through the game. He was a pretty good character.
Josh
And he was playable in one of the DLCs.
I have some of the best memories playing RE5, I’ll actually still play it here and there lol. I’ll never forget when the trailer came out and my dad and sisters all watched it together so excited and we couldn’t believe how good the graphics looked lol I’d be so psyched for the remake!
In case anyone ever thought that games journalists aren't trash.
I just got to the racism part and I’m like “wtf am I watching?” 😂
erm, is that a 'phoria pfp? keyed
euphoria?
nice pokemon pfp, agree
You don't hate _these_ """people""" enough. YOu amy think you do, but you don't hate them nearly enough.
He purposely omits Sheva from the article and video because that key piece of information would conflict with his biased opinion.
Thank you, also the fact that ppl watch ign to this day is wild to me
Well, to be fair, Sheva is light brown and not black. And considering 80% of Africa is black and just ~8% are colored, it does kind of raise questions. I do not believe the game is intentionally racist though, but on the surface it might have some color bias. And I also feel like Asmon being outraged without playing the game is a bit much too.
"Light brown" Lmao sure@@vaelaz
@@vaelaz if you reach that far, then a lot of "black" people aren't actually black, but a slightly darker tint of brown, get over yourself.
@@vaelaz Light brown... She is African in-universe, even mentioned in the dialogues.
14:55
Sheva is litterally on screen like did you play the game. Its a co-op game. There is two main charaters.
And in one of the DLCs you played as the other Black guy who helps you during the story. IGN is full of shit.
I loved OG RE 5. But I did play it before I started to play horror games. So the action being dialed up didn't bug me. I started playing horror games in 2014 and started to love horror games. Even playing RE 5 in 2022, I still thought it was great. When they remake it, I hope they make it a lot closer to survival horror !!
People forget that STARS were special forces. It makes sense for some of the games to be action oriented. US SOCOM doesn't drop into hot areas with a knife and a pistol with a single mag just for funzies. The whole series bounces around between different points of view, they can keep making some games more action based when it's a special forces protagonist, or slower horror based when it's a different character.
You can literally see in the notes left throughout the game that the parasite MADE the villager regress into savages, just like it did in Spain
Yes, if anything, it made one empathetic because they're unfortunate victims of an evil corporations experiments. Just like so many others; just like Lisa Trevor.
That would imply people know how to read lmao
But, but, but muh racism narrative!
lol so the parasite is cannon in the real life lore.
@@StarGazerTom1991 that's a good point. I actually felt more empathy towards the victims from RE5 than the victims from RE4. In RE5 the first introduction of the infected shows a scene where 2 infected forcefully make a villiger swallow the uroboros - probably one of RE5's more memorable scenes apart from boulder punching. RE4s first encounter is a guy that is already infected, so you see them all as monsters from the very start unlike RE5.
Damn they're still talking about RE5 and african zombies?
The African enemies is probably the less to be concerned about RE5 lol.
I remember hearing about it all the way back then, thought it was dumb then, still do. Just like war, my opinion never changes.
Wait until they see Revelation 2's intro and the zoom in on the baby of BIOTERRORISM
Years later
@Dianbler it's funny that it was a huge case of "they had us in the first half."
The focus on the gameplay design and tone in the beginning is valid, but then turning it into some stupid current day political commentary is absurd.
I loved 5 for the co op played it so much with a friend when he came to visit when I lived in the middle of nowhere.
I would love to play it again.
Funny enough RE5 is one of my favorites in the series especially because of the co-op. It was so fun just beating the game and then coming back to find all the weapons and secrets to unlock cool things. It was fun and I enjoyed it. I do love the other games as well, but this one will always have a especial spot in my heart for those reasons.
Crazy that I’ve played through RE5 with my cousin countless times and never thought “wow this is racist” just “Africa’s dope let’s shoot some zombie things”
Not that crazy, I did the same. Just like I made my character in Starfield without thinking "wow this is clearly liberal propaganda."
The only crazy thing to me is knowing how adept Asmon's audience is at making huge logical leaps in order to sniff out agendas, they can't figure out why a white guy mowing down waves of black people could be construed as racist. As there are way less dots to connect than typical conspiracies they come up with.
I was in 5th grade and I can say I never even thought about the people being black once. Was just a zombie game to me.
dude reals...this game is so good
I want to see Chris punch that boulder in 4k
Yup.
I want to See Wesker vs Chris and Jill and Sheva in 4k. Seriously, as many times I've played 5E5 and beat it, I always watch the cutscenes with Wesker fighting
@@jtherealmccoy5309 God Wesker is so good in 5. Even people who weren't fans of 5 agree with that.
Wanna see what they do with blonde skintight Jill in 4K
7 minutes
RE5 was my favourite growing up:(
We played through the game over and over with my brother. Best co-op experience ever
The camera angle in resident evil 5 makes me so anxious it's crazy.
That "NO" really sounded like the journalistic epitome of righteousness and moral authority telling developers what they can do or not.
Truee
We need more devs like the one making Stellar Blade. The type who sees crap and doesn't give a fook
This may come off as ignorant and that’s not at all my intentions,I find it funny that its okay for society in video games that you go to popular locations and mow down white people but as soon as it’s a different ethnicity it’s racist, what if I find it racist that in video games all you shoot is white people
What I’m trying to say is the standard should be the same for every race, because we are all the same.
*self-righteousness. Not actual righteousness.
IGN basically calling themselves racists for rating RE5 so high initially
higher ips probably pushed the narrative
Everything was sounding like a not so bad argument until that guy said: Racism, the it was a golden medal for mental gymnastics
Chris and Sheva get to a village
Sheva: “ Remember no ooga booga *click clacking noises*”
The game doesn't depict uninfected tribes as being hostile because they're already infected by the time you fight them. Why am I not surprised IGN doesn't know what they're talking about?
Not to mention, the disgust in the comments of chris and shevs when you first arrive, they are disgusted the tribes were infected.
Chris travels to Africa. African zombies who would have thought. Did they take the Spanish people out of 4 remake?
spanish are not black so there is no problem with that, obviously
@@marcogenovesi8570 buts whats wrong with black there people to just like us
"maybe if they add a black protagonist -"
Sheva standing in the corner
An RE5 remake would be a very easy task to do. It can just be made like the badass first trailer with tons happening on screen with modern controls and then done.
I literally LOL'd when he said it was racist because the antagonists are black in Africa
"black people are not allowed to be zombies"
~ some pc lib
Race-swapping Africans to black people? Despicable!
This is EXACTLY what Sweet Baby inc said they would do. "Go to their marketing team and TERRIFY THEM"
IGN is clearly throwing videos around preemptively trying to scare/pressure Capcom into hiring SBI consultants, which will invariably result in the destruction of another game/franchise.
Sad truth!! This shits gotta stop!!!
Oh, aobut machinegun and LIGHTSABER. I'd love a dark alternate universe version of Star Wars with a zombie virus similar to Dead Space, that'd be epic.
We waited over seven minutes for him to get to the point we all knew he was going to get to.
The guy was building up an actual legit argument at potential inherent gameplay flaws, only to dunk on the climax with "racism". bruh
probably did it on purpose. classic bait and switch.
Was just about to say exactly that.
Fr I was interested and then lost all interest and laughed at that point
Yep, that's where I had to pause the video 🤣
So true
"They should add a black protagonist." I love how this dude straight up admits to not having played the game.
I had fun with re5 in my childhood I would love to see it updated like resident evil four I want people do experience how fun the co-op was
Why am I watching a video called 'Resident Evil 5 Situation' with a guy that's never played it.
This ☝️
What does he mean by violant before infection? Because the game specifically states that the infection is slow and causes you to become violent and angry before you actually turn! Is he just completly making stuff up and being ignorant of all the lore?
What??? A journalist being uninformed in the current day? Blasphemous
They are ....
You know they haven't read the lore when they mistake the uroboros virus and the freaking plagas@@scales8768
Yeah the Las Plagas parasite makes you violent even before being fully infected. Remember that Leon in original RE4 tried to choke Ada before he got the parasite removed and he wasnt fully turned. Also we are putting the infected out of their misery by gunning them down. Once the Las Plagas in re4 and re5 fully takes over the host consciousness is basically gone with the parasite being in control.
There was a journal in re5 about a child gets infected. Hes tracking his situation from the moment he gets infected. I think its on the tribal level. He ended his journal by saying hes hungry and want to kill.
The audacity of this guy , to basically tell Capcom they HAVE to re-write RE5 is crazy.
Like seriously, what is the point of a Remake. If you want to play a new entry to the series, then play RE9 when it comee out, if you want to play the Remakes, then play the Remakes WTF.
I mean besides the black zombies (tbh who gives a shit about that) that game should be a new IP that was not a resident evil...
Well, they should, the game is trash but not because you kill africans, is the story that is like a Michael Bay movie
Well.... Hes right... RE 5 needs a complete overhaul to be as good as re 2 and 4 remakes.. Just not for the reason he said
The game story wise and map wise is shit. Gameplay is good
i Enjoyed 5, was a new experience being able to play with a friend in resident evil, me and my girlfriend play through this sometimes.
it may not be the best, but still enjoyable. Atleast its better than 6 and the RE 3 remake lol
7:41 I love how the narrator forgot the fact that the antagonists are THE EXACT SAME as re4
Both showed “signs of aggression” “before” infection
Born and raised in Africa I played that game while I was still living there and not once did it trigger anything in fact I loved the game
The leftist will end up hurting black people more with how its going .
Don't worry my friend, we all know it's not actually any African people triggered or complaining about this. We all know it's a certain demographic of radical ideologs, professional race baiters & perpetual victims, largely in the USA but also in the west in general. Asmon even acknowledges how uniquely American this issue is too, around 14:05
@@quadcarnage8462 ironically it's only the white people complaining to other white people
@@radvin1417 yup, then us normal white ppl who aren't far leftists are stuck in the middle of all this bs
I live in africa too and i played the game years ago but i never even payed attention to the color of ther skin i just shoot zombies and thought exsella is hot.
They weren't violent before their infection. It's even explained by in-game documents that the people were normal before they were infected and then their minds begin to degrade with the infection and they go crazy and regress to primitive shit that they normally wear for hystoric festivals.
kinda like Las Plagas and that town in spain.
you can gradually see the villagers becoming more deranged and unhinged as time goes on, eventually going into full lunatic mode and cult following.
Granted, there's plenty of primitive and also very corrupt places in Africa, so seeing a small town like the intro, already infected but not hostile yet (even though they definitely give off the vibe that they can turn on you at any second) is quite accurate.
what's the problem with them being depicted violent, some tribes / people are, some are not. And this definitely applies to Africa and other parts of the world like Papua New Guinea. Tribes are literally still killing each other, and those "shamans" or whatever in the game that play with human bones and so on also exist. White people and albino Africans, albinos especially, get hunted and killed for shamanism today. There are civil areas and there are not like in most places. And i have been there. My uncle married an African woman, and we have been visiting once. She had a textile production and had to be around armed men at all time. We had an enclosed area with gunmen around and this was not a hightec facility.
You think game journos is willing to read in-game documents when they can't even play lmao
"they weren't violent before the infection" LMAO that made me laugh haaaaaaard
Wich is literary every Zombie infection ever. Wich makes the whole point they try to make even sillier.
Remember the day they said that RE2 remake is a very short game without them finishing the game and the 2nd run? Yeah....
Link bro? Love RE2R on the PS4 back in March 2020! Amazing!
Just FYI: RE5 (2009) was the best selling Capcom game before Moster Hunter World (2018) so saying that such a commercial bestseller can't be remade is simply ridiculous.
RE 4 literally showed that the parasites will eventually devolve people into psychopathic cultists that adorn themselves in robes and colored fabrics to determine their ranks and devotion to the parasite, why is it THAT surprising to people that RE 5 does the same thing but replaces the robes with ceremonial outfits
It's even in the games lore. Way back before the Umbrella founders discovered the plant that houses the Progenitor Virus, the locals were using the plant for their rituals especially towards rites of passage ceremonies. We could see that from the tribal village section and the ancient temple section of the game.
RE5 has a lots of issues, but the African enemies is not one of them.
Sheva's ass sure wasn't 😎

IGN Bans Killing Africans in Resident Evel 5 and Allows Killing Japanese in Assassin's Creed😂
Capcom just needs to add in a journalist mode slider that when toggled switches the skin color of every enemy in the game to white. Easy.
Add a second switch that turn protagonist skin to black and maybe a scroll selection for other "under represented" races. Better yet, release a good fun game... oh no wait, this last one would be racist actually.
OML if a company had the balls to do that, that’d be the funniest stunt ever 🤣 Journalist difficulty which is easier than easy where all the enemies are white and the protagonists all get race swapped to minorities.
And make them speak English with an Irish accent
What would you do with different shape of noses and lips between races. It's quite an obvious that black people nose on average is larger than white and asian people nose.
It's quite an obvious feature
There's already a toggle for that. It's called the power switch of your playstation whenever you're feeling offended from singleplayer videogames 🤣
IGN is delusional...
Take them to an infirmary.
they should share a padded cell with kotaku
@@aternialaffsalot sharing a padded cell is wild XD
I think they do it on purpose just to get clicks. No one can prove that they actually believe that.
IGNs biggest investor are probably Sweet Baby Inc.
Resident Evil 5 was so good lol , had such a fun playing the coop with my best buddy back then.
As an African, one thing i liked about the game was how accurate the depictions of a regular African street was. Nothing wrong with games like this, cos most Africans wouldn't complain about it and even if they do, it must actually be because something is genuinely bad, and that's not the case.
There’s already a black protagonist; Chris’ partner throughout the game: Sheva
Fun fact, she wasn't suppose to be n the game at first, she was literally added because idiots cried racism even back then.
@@carljohan9265 That's not true, the acteess for Sheva, Karen Dryer, said the character was in the work since early 2007, and the game was revealed in mid-2007
Karen: "I’ve addressed this question from day one, as you can imagine. Yeah, it is a bunch of bologna. I find it funny because if the game was never set in Africa then you’d have people complaining about that. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. There was a huge uproar a E3 2007, where it was just the Chris Redfield character in the trailer. At that time the development of Sheva was not even done, and they had started developing that character, and I have all the notes to prove it, from early 2007, but you know Chris Redfield is an established character; they already know what he’s about. So by the time I came in September 2007 they still weren’t done with how she was going to look, she was still being created so there was no way of being done by that E3. Unfortunately when people didn’t see anything but Chris in Africa I guess it had a reaction that was not totally all the way positive. She wasn’t an afterthought. This is a co-op game, it takes a lot more time to just whip that together. It seems a little bit ridiculous to just do that as a type of reaction and say all of a sudden yeah let’s make it co-op."
Capcom needs to stop listening to these activists writing hit pieces. They should know that the fanbase and customer base stands with them. Let these fools write their senseless gaslighting articles and scream into the void where no one will listen. Then Capcom can blacklist them and allow independent youtubers review their games and spread through word of mouth instead of being beholden to these “reputable” game news sites to spread the word. The fact that the ign video was ratiod into oblivion is proof enough that ign and their ilk will not be tolerated by the player base.
And Josh.
@@carljohan9265 at least back then it wasnt quite so bad... plus her r34 aint bad
I thought there was a thunderstorm outside... But it was problably the sound of every African gamer facepalming at once when the video reached that point where the IGN dude complains about African zombies.
They only change how Ada Wong betrayed Wesker at the end of re4
Bro your thumbnail scared me so bad my soul left my body 😭
15:24 they literally neglected the fact that Sheva Alomar IS ALSO the protagonist of RE5. The fact that you get a Game Over screen when she dies cements that fact. Sheva and Chris are partners there. It's not like after beating Wesker and Jill, Sheva gets replaced. It did not work like that.
Sheva is really underrated aswell, she is a great character and a nice addition to the RE universes badass female protagonists. She needs a rewrite and better lines though just like Ashley needed, and if capcom can make me love Ashley, then they can easily make a decent character like Sheva amazing. I spit put my drink when i heard them say "It needs a black protagOnIST!"
@@DamArt-e"Chris! Chris! Over here! Chris! Over here! Chris! Chris!" 😂
Of course you get a game over screen. Because you, or your friend are playing as her. That's why people didn't mind the new gameplay style, co-op.
@@DamArt-e I did like Sheva, its a shame that she, Carlos, and Hunk never got to show up in other games of the series. Would definitely like to play as them in a spinoff.
@@gromdan1332 also we need closure for Carlos' story. For sure Sheva may have joined Chris' Wolfhound squad in RE9, though that is unlikely to be confirmed by Capcom. But for Carlos, we barely had any idea as to what happened to him after RE3.
If Chris isn't punching boulders at dense crowds of majini enemies and making them run away Indiana Jones style in the remake I'll be very upset.
I feel like the vast majority of us would be.
Re5 remake this time more boulder punching!
i loved resident evil 5 exactly for the fact that my buddy and I would just gun down everything. I'm anticipating the return of boulder punch Redfield, and i hope they bring that back if they do in fact make a true RE5 remake and not just completely retconning the whole thing.
What a shame, I had so much fun playing RE5 with my friends as a rails/competitive clear kind of game. It was a nice dpearture from the OG RE experience.
I just want to fight wesker again man and hear that iconic line “ Seven minutes, seven minutes is all I can spare to play with you” in that new wesker voice actor voice.
Same but with mod for original voice
@@teotof that would be cool as well although I do like new wesker and can’t wait to see how he performs in re5
@@dangerous358New Wesker isn't that bad like new Ada voice for exemple, sure, but when i hear "CHRRIIIIIS", i can't think of any others voices
@@teotof bro same

Resident Evil 5 already has a black protagonist, right there, fighting alongside Chris, and she was BADASS
No she was not. she’s literally one of the worst programmed companions in a video games her AI was so fucking bad that she would actively worsen ad make your gameplay harder if you were playing solo
@@sond.lollipop8919 I'm not talking about her AI, I'm talking about her character
@@sond.lollipop8919 Your criticism can be said about Chris. Did you know you can play as either character?
@@Taegreth yes and Chris’s Ai and UI are far better than Sheivas. Chris never repeatedlu stood in front of me to black my shots or CONSTANTLY use my herbs to heal himself but guess what sheiva constantly did
@@sond.lollipop8919 there's literally no difference in their AI, it's how you were playing with them
who else here, shat themselves more playing Re5?
the chainsaw majini area where its the factory and shit, and you know that you have to deal with 2-3 of them is so scary. i stood at the start of that area for like 10 minutes before deciding to continue, and when i went in i knew that i had to do what had to be done. and it took a few tries to do it.
r
Edit: i have only ever been afraid playing mostly Re5, kinda re123, but 6-7 werent very scary. mostly creepy
Infinite ammo machine gun and a lightsaber you say?,RE Village is what you're looking for my good sir.
15:00 "perhaps with a black protagonist."
Wow. Its almost as if in RE5, one of the main characters isnt a black African woman. 🤯
sheva is not a main character, shes a protagonist, you literally play as her.
@@ungface it's as if you can't read this as sarcasm. I have played RE5 I know what Sheva is in game.
@@ungface My guy she is STILL a crucial part of your team story wise and gameplay wise (for co-op at least). I know from experience playing the game through and through with my bro.
I love how the IGN guy said "maybe it'd be better if the remake had a black protagonist" while focusing on Sheva.... The black co-protagonist of the game
Irony peak 😂😂😂
I knew it was gonna be like this. It was like this back when 5 initially dropped too. The voice actors literally did interviews addressing the controversy. There was no issue with Leon shooting up infected Spaniards though right? Honestly I know the Resi 5 Remake is next but I really wish they'd do Code Veronica as well. 5 makes much more sense with that game before it. No one is gonna know why Wesker is suddenly back and why he's hitting Matrix moves on everyone.
As a person that played this game as a little kid and really wants re5 remake i have never ever though hmm its kinda weird that were shooting these zombies like bro i was just having fun playing the first re game ive ever played with my dad literally just being a normal person
If they remove Chris punching rhe rock that it's definitely not RE5
Considering how much more serious the remakes are, I can't imagine them leaving it in. The only thing they're more concerned about than offending people on Twitter, is comedy.
Then that remake is not for me
The boulder should be an unlockable character scenario a la Hunk and Tofu.
I don't think they will remove it, it is like if they had removed Leon's bingo phrase in RE4 remake. XD
@@nai3346 I mean, in RE8 one of the bosses named Chris as "boulder punching asshole". It's not a question about "will that scene be in remake", but about how they gonna remade that scene
Remember folks, Capcom conceived Sheva late into RE5’s development because the journalists even back then were obsessed with bitching about racism. They weren’t satisfied then, they’re not satisfied now. And I like Sheva and would like to see her come back.
It makes sense that they give Chris a partner that native to the area, can you imagine if he just randomly wandered around being like "WHERE THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSE TO GO?!"
@@DarkDyllon To be fair yes Sheva did work out for the best from a story standpoint (forced co-op and bad AI notwithstanding).
@@alexkogan9755 TBF it wasn't exclusive to Sheva, a lot of Resident Evil protagonists are pretty paper thin in terms of personality. I think Sheva and Helena are a lot alike; great design, but very little personality.
Not true, Sheva was always going to be in the game, she just would've had the role Josh does in the RE5 we got.
@@SeruraRenge11 makes sense.
This game was fantastic to play with the PS move controller and joy stick. Way better than using a controller. I really hope they end up bringing this to VR as well. RE8 and RE4 Vr modes were so good
I heard from my friends that I should play Resident Evil and I promised that I'd play the latest game (which was Veronica at the time) but about 3 weeks later Resident Evil 4 was announced and I went for that instead. After finishing RE4, it made me think "I should go back and play the previous games now, that was fucking awesome!" Literally made me a fan with one game. I've never played 5 or 6.
I just bought RE5 for $4.99 yesterday on steam. It’s a fun game
RE5 is the reason we got RE6… They need to stick to survival horror imo but, as much as I hate to admit it, yeah RE5 was fun and the mercenaries mode was dope af
@@cmoney163 very good couch co-op
I tried playing RE5 but the gameplay/ movement mechanics were so dogshit I couldn't get into it. However, Re6 was much better in comparison.
no RE4 is the reason u got RE5 and RE6 both those games are a by product of the devs thinking MORE ACTION = GOOD.
RE6 is the end result of when they completely threw out any atmosphere and narrative for maximum micheal bay bollywood levels action.@@cmoney163
For sure. But they really jumped the shark on the story.
The real zombies were the journalists we met along the way.
Are they really journalists when they make less than a McDonald's cashier though????
Nah theyre more like wannabe Umbrella CEOs trying to rule the world smh!
Res 5 is the pinnacle of couch co op that and army of two
He wants to kill thousands of zombies with guns and a lightsaber. Thats fucking dead rising
As a physician I recall IGN give this game a 9 out of 10 when it was originally released. and it's not like it was released back in the 50s or something when it was just a "different time' it was released during a period when America was voting in a two term black president 🤣
Blacks in America are not Africans. If we wish to consider them that then people better quit calling my Irish heritage simply "White". Double standard shit everywhere.
LMAO good point hadn’t even realized that
Why did you start off your comment with "As a physician"? If you are a physician, what does this have to do with your ability to remember IGN giving RE5 a 9 out of 10 when it was originally released?
@@SilverJoystix .... You serious bro?
As a physician, yes, I am serious bro. @@LadyBits2023
RE5 was fun as fuck to play co-op. Doing all kinds of goofy shit in the game with friends after school while sitting on the couch in the living room was peak.
Absolutely true, one of the best memories that i have with my brother. Those times in general were far better than today's "panorama".
Maybe so but people who have finished the original 4 games and code veronica will understand why RE5 is a bad Residentevil game.
@@resiefan3258 Oh for sure, it went a tad too much on the 3rd person action game and far less on the horror theme of the predecessors.
@@resiefan3258And thats precisely why I liked it. Also, it's the highest selling Resident Evil game ironically.
@@resiefan3258 to be fair it made sense from a story perspective, at this point in the story everyone knows about zombies in fact they made a world wide special operations unit to combat bows the fact that Chris a zombie killing veteran and sheeva a highly trained local liaison of said world wide bow hunting unit treat the entire thing like an action game makes sense, I also feel like people ignore the re7 dlc that featured a swamp hill billy using mechanical fists to punch his way through zombies.
This makes me wanna go back and play RE 5
I actually really liked resident evil 5... I was only young when I played it, as it was one of the first games I had for my xbox 360. It was one of the first horror types of genre games I played.
