This game is never going to get a remake because it's both racist (A White man sent to Africa to kill a bunch of Black zombies paired up with his Black female partner whose straightened hair represents her status as being colonized by him), and it was the game where Capcom jumped the shark with the Resident Evil franchise.

It's best for Capcom to pretend that this game never existed and for them to split the series' timeline starting from Resident Evil 4 going forward.
>>
good riddance. the game's awful. it's so bad certain people (idiots) think it retroactively makes re4 a bad game by association.

just remove chris from the game and add another cute black chick
nothing of value would be lost

How is that racist but Nioh isn't? SJW "logic" makes no sense. It's just a video game and he's shooting zombified humans and bioweapons, not 'blacks'.

A white guy armed with an SMG exterminating spear wielding tribals in a village and stealing their jewels leaves a bad taste.
If Nioh is The Last Samurai (2003) then RE5 is Zulu (1964). You can easily find people who have critiques for both games, but people prefer to strawman here instead of engage with SJWs. Before you ask no I'm not an SJW, I can just pick up on the nuance. If the game was about a black guy with a white girl massacring white people in a Walmart, you can imagine how /v/ would react.
There's a thing called historical context that can make one thing seem a lot more gross than the other, especially in an age of revisionism where well paid think tanks try to convince people that certain historical genocides were a good thing. Doubtless there who will pop up in this thread saying shit like "it's okay whites enslaved Africans because we brought technology" as if fair trade couldn't be done without the enslavement. But I digress.

>>735062670
They could've done that story without having a white guy being the protagonist massacring Africans, so the handwave defense is effectively meaningless. RE5 has some based dialogue, but it's still a RE game so the plot exists to justify setpieces and is in service to the level design.
Webm related is based btw.
>>
>>735062976
>They could've done that story without having a white guy being the protagonist massacring Africans
He also massacres the white villains. It's a story of someone taking responsibility for his countrymen and his ex-commander, giving reparations to their victims in a sense. This is of course still ignoring how they made half of the zombies white.
>handwave
We're comparing the main plot's driving conflict to a subjective interpretation of optics.
>>
>>735062976
>A white guy armed with an SMG exterminating spear wielding tribals in a village and stealing their jewels leaves a bad taste
Sheva gives him the "go ahead" next time everytime Chris tries to shoot black Zombies.
Is that better?
>>
>>735062976
>If the game was about a black guy with a white girl massacring white people in a Walmart,
Resident Evil 5 is not about Chris massacring Africans though.
>>
The word "racist" has lost all meaning. I swear, nowadays, it just means anything that has black people in it.
People are utterly retarded and brainwashed when it comes to black people and "racism".
>>
The tribal enemies and maybe sheva's tribal outfit could be offensive or insensitive and they'll probably leave those out but a white guy shooting zombies in a predominantly black country is just a non issue to anyone with above room temp IQ who can think beyond optics and surface level appearances
>>
The main villain is a blonde white man though
>>
>>735062976
>If the game was about a black guy with a white girl massacring white people in a Walmart, you can imagine how /v/ would react
That's because those scenarios are not equivalent in the slightest.
A White guy putting down subhuman niggers while grabbing the one piece of gold among that shitpile of a race is not only okay, it's the natural state of things. Meanwhile, a Nigger slaughtering innocent White people while stealing our women is obviously wrong.
Hope that clears it up!

Africa literally has spear wielding tribals. The jewels are mostly there for gameplay purposes, as the only African to ever figure out how to extract and sell their own resources was Mansa Musa--who used the gold he made slaves dig up to give himself golden grills and spinning rims and sheeeit.

Re5 is a bit racist but I always felt like the racist part was a bunch of Japanese guys thinking spear chuckers were 10 mins outside of town in giant Mayan sun temples
Chris shooting infected natives of Africa is a nothing burger, and expected of a game set there desu. Honestly most of the zombies in the city parts look Mexican or Chinese
Africa is a cool setting I wish blacks weren't so whiney, would love more games to use it
>>
>>735062341
Nah it's more that it wasn't groundbreaking and wasn't as good as 4.
It's still worth a play, but growing up and seeing this as my first RE did put me off the franchise because of the whole shooting black people thing, which I considered a sign of "they didn't care about the game if they didn't even see the problem here". It's funny, but it's also careless and a sign that other issues would be there with the gameplay. I think I remember watching a mate play this, we chucked about the black zombie area, but then I went "this might be a sign that the game is sloppy" in my head. It was fun to watch that part though.

Then again, we liked fucking around in Two Worlds because it was a disaster.

Re5 is a fun coop game in certain chapters
But like 1/3rd of the campaign sucks ass, you niggas forgot about the multiple tedious turret sections or really boring 3rd person cover based shooting levels against gun guys, or the boat.
Chris is also a charisma vacuum, Jill and josh are awful supporting characters and sheva barely says anything being a character only made so you have a blackie shooting blackies.
the game only really comes alive character wise when weaker is on screen.

>Re5 is a bit racist
Intentionally though. It's clearly a play on oldschool films and horror tropes. It also plays on old colonial stereotypes.
I thought it was so blatant that it being like this was on purpose as a mockery of old horror tropes. People clearly didn't get it. Black people, strangely, found it fucking hilarious online for some reason. kek

They just needed to make it more obvious somehow? Make it more like South Park when it's taking the piss with that shit.

They could have gone all in with that trope. It would be EXTREMELY controversial, but then they'd say - "well we're mocking content your nation used to make on purpose here and we're exaggerating it to make it show how much you dehumanise the zombies in these things". It is kinda funny that we just dehumanise zombies in these things and ignore their former human situation. RE9 does kinda well with making Leon apathetic when humans transform almost immediately to the point where you go "damn, that's cold". Until he likes someone, not niggers though. He's former police. :^)

Chris is just there to stop the bio-terrorists trying to destroy the world.
The locals are the ones attacking him. What's he supposed to do about it, apologize for being white?
>>
>>735062341
Lots of zombies in it are white/arab though
The real reason it sucked is because it was a bunch of hallways and occasional puzzle sections, just like RE4 but even less interesting map design (no backtracking, gimmicky combat arenas)

The world feels hollow and bland, unlike the town/castle/etc in RE4 because those areas were crafted to feel atmospheric. RE5 is meant to feel more like Black Hawk Down but it means the areas have no character, except arguably the tribal swamp area.
>>
>>735079382
To add onto this almost all the areas feel like the industrial/island section of RE4, which is hilarious considering that's the part everyone hates. And then they added a pointless cover mechanic to try and make the game like Army of Two? Dead space 3 was a better co-op horror game, it was a lot of action slop too but at least it tried to be creative like with the asymmetric horror sections in it as each of you start to go crazy

Speak for yourself, the island is kino and I've always been an island enjoyer. Island gives you delicious combat gauntlets where you can let loose with all the weapons you've been upgrading all game. It's like a pressure release. It's got iconic enemies like JJ and the Regeneradores, and Krauser. It's the exciting conclusion to a thrilling game and contrary to what people say, I never felt it dragged on top long, it keeps you engaged right up to the end.

>>735080023
>What, the spinel you find of fucking tree, which are there probably for gameplay purposes and maybe non-canon?
To be fair, when you get to the village and the ruins area you are straight up stealing ceremonial chalices and idols from the locals. It's ok though because the proceeds from that go directly to supporting your efforts to save their country from Tricell and Wesker.

I do agree about it being noncanon, though. The entire loot and shop mechanic is pure gameplay, completely divorced from the story, unlike 4's diagetic merchant. Like who exactly are you selling and buying from in between chapters or whenever you die? If they hadn't killed off that turban guy who gives you your starter maybe it could have been him, but otherwise theres no logic to it.
>>
>>735080531
Only shame about that is no DC Douglas

>>735080737
Village is dead, the BSAA just needs their valuables to store in a backroom until the village is clear of BOWs. The money you get for selling them is a performance bonus, not a sale.
>>
>>735079261
>falling for tourist traps
>>
>>735081398
That doesn't make sense, the BSAA is paying you in local N-Dollars (what did they mean by this?) and you can use that money to upgrade your gear, a performance bonus would be paid in US Dollars to your account back home or wherever. Again the money, loot and shop is completely divorced from the story and lore so there is no sense trying to make it logical.
