Resident Evil 4 was more like Diablo 2 with guns...

No way, it's totally a roguelike Zelda minus the self-destructing save data!
Still, i really like the game engine. I think it shames many FPSs.

Holy crap.... RE5 looks kind of hard compared to RE4....seriously, I don't remember the enemies running at you like that, or there being that many. Hmmm......I'll take it on though

I'm leaning more to agree on the side that points out that the absence of black people as zombies throughout the series is racist. Sure, it's a negative role to be in, because you'd end up as cannon fodder, but on the other hand, black zombies should also not just be a sign of variety, but also that the zombie virus will indiscriminately infect anyone and everyone.
Strangely enough, no spaniard cried foul to RE4.
The only black zombie I can remember from any of the previous games was Marvin Branagh from #2.
It doesn't surprise me that somebody had to go and call this game racist, but if anything, the fact that it's set in Africa I think stands as social commentary.
What I'm guessing is that this will reveal what Wesker/Umbrella did with the plaga sample retrieved by Ada at the end of RE4.
Think about it, where would a mega-corporation like Umbrella go if they needed thousands and thousands of human guinea pigs? The third world, of course. I have a feeling it won't be about racism so much as the way we dehumanize and/or ignore our fellow human beings until the worst happens. Here's Chris Redfield, the only guy that could give half a crap about these people, and he's only coming in to save the day after it's all too late.
