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 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.

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.

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!

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

They only change how Ada Wong betrayed Wesker at the end of re4

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.

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.

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.

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.

@DarkDyllon

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.

​@@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.

No, IGN actually the obvious Answer is to remake Code Veronica because THAT'S the game that reveals that Wesker never died, and reintroduced him BACK into the series and has him confronting Chris in RE:CVX which sets the stage for the events of RE5 years later. After RE1 we all assumed he was killed by the tyrant. it was Resident Evil: Code Veronica that was all like "SURPRISE WESKER! HE ACTUALLY SURVIVED!" which had all of us REAL RE fans making the surprised Pikachu face. RE:CVX takes place shortly after the events of RE2 and RE3, and a few years before the events of RE4 and quite a few years before the events of RE5.
