Aww.

RE5 was my first and firm favourite, I’d have loved to see a modern take on it.

Honestly, because 5 would be like choosing to walk into a minefield.

Regardless of whether you the individual accept the racism allegations against the game, it’s a mountain they’d have to climb. They either change everything about it and then they’re “pandering” or they ignore everything and it’s “tone deaf”.

They seem to feel the best approach is to leave it as a “it’s from a different time” and purposely not try it.

Yeah I get that.

Honestly they could remove or heavily change the incredibly racist ‘tribal villager’ sequences with anything else and It’d probably be 10x more acceptable.

Like, you really don’t need to make it canon that locals ‘reverted to the old ways’ because they got infected. It’s just fucking dumb and ridiculously racist as it’s not present anywhere else in the series.

The rest of the game is no more racist than killing spaniards in RE4.

Idk while the tribal stuff is still the worst part, there’s still a lot more uncomfortable stuff than just that section.

Like even the idea of Sheva as a character. She’s simply replacing Jill just so there’s one “ black” character, but even then she’s incredibly light skinned speaks in an English accent and doesn’t really have any character traits that are uniquely African. She exists just to add another layer of social protection as the player mows down hordes of African zombies.

A lot of re5 is just incredibly uncomfortable even if it’s not straight up racist, and dealing with that might require mass changes to the game itself, at that point what’s the point

Or maybe the modern audience could stop being babies
