  1. As intended? by enderjsv · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder if the Ganados representing multiple races and the inclusion of a "dark-skinned" female character was always intended, or if it was just a reaction to the racism concerns.

      I never really thought of RE4 as racist, I just took it for what it was. I don't know anything about the setting of RE4 so I could not comment on whether the behaviors and settings were patterned after the actual population and location but it might as well have been made up anyway because there were no unaffected people in the game besides some of the main characters of the story, who were also made up. It just seemed like a cheesy action movie that was a lot of fun to play. Why is everyone upset about this game again?

  2. On the Wii? by plague3106 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Will it come out for the Wii as well as 360 and PS3?
