According to the latest issue of the Official Playstation Magazine (UK) Capcom are to add more white enemies into Resident Evil 5.
A lot of gamers were very unhappy and felt Resident Evil 5 is racist towards African people.
“…gunning down mobs of angry Africans could be ’subtly racist’…It’s not just that these zombies are black, but that the uninfected black villagers are zombie-like too,”
“See all those spooky shots of the villagers before they get infected? It’s as if race itself were a disease. The white protagonist has to fight back or be infected.”
Quotes from Gamespot.
Well yes, according to the magazine Capcom are to add more white people/enemies into the game. Capcom has responded to the racist accusation, maybe this is one of their ‘big’ E3 announcements?

Amazon have a release date for Capcom’s upcoming survival horror game Resident Evil 5. Amazon think the game will be released on March the 10th 2009. Recent rumors predicted that Resident Evil 5 would make it before the end of 2008 but that was pretty much very unlikely as there hasn’t been much coverage.
“This item will be released on March 10, 2009.”
In March PSU posted a rumor regarding the Resident Evil 5 release date and they said we could expect RE5 as early as october. PSU have now received an update from a source saying that Capcom have pushed RE5 to be released in November.
“Sherry Birkin (the young girl who assisted Claire Redfield in Resident Evil 2) will play a role in Resident Evil 5.”
Resident Evil 5 takes place 10 years after Resident Evil 2 so that means Sherry Birkin is around 22 years of age.
A new trailer is set to be released on the 31st of May 2008. Also a mysterious countdown has appeared on the Official Resident Evil website. Take a look at it and tell us what you think this could be? Do you think it has anything to do with the upcoming trailer?

Resident Evil 5 this year?Resident Evil 5 could be released sometime towards the end of this year. If you take a look at Capcom’s latest financial report and turn to page 14 you will see that ‘Resident Evil 5′ is listed for year 2008. So what does this tell us? That RE5 could be release this year? I hope so!
If it’s fiscal year then it could float into early 2008 because FY-08 ends March 31st 2009, that sound more realistic.
I’m guessing a Feb 09 release.
