And the irony is that Zombies originated from Afro-Caribbean spiritual beliefs.

Let's see there was Residental Evil 1, 2, 3 so on and so forth, obviously Capcom trying to milk the cash cow (or flog a dead horse). The gaming market is so much more competitive now with many more players so Capcom doesn't quite have the market share it once did. This latest stunt is a poorly veiled attempt to generate some free publicity.

tbh since Capcom do have the survival horror genre to themselves at the mo i don't see how this is for publicity.
Only the insecure PC brigade see this as racist,the point of saving humanity by killing black zombies is bollox as the characters have been tryiny to save humanity from an evil corporation.

It's one site kicking up a fuss, and to be fair, they probably have no idea about the other games in the franchise.

What these people don't seem to understand is that videogames are pretty much colourless - Aside from the fact you are shooting a collection of pixels and not real people, the average player thinks "Taste my pain, zombie scum". Not "Have some of that you black *******"
