Latest Trailer & Possible Error on Our Part

The second picture on this page says it is Chris Redfield, the protagonist of RE5. While I dont dispute Chris Redfield is the main protagonist, I am not sure that the picture shown is Chris. He is wearing different clothes than Chris is wearing in the latest preview (the one confirming the main character to be chris), and his hair appears to be a different cut. We were told that RE5 would fill in events in Chris's life after the original RE, (and presumably RECVX) so it could be Chris @ two different points in time. But being as their is speculation of Billy's involvement, and we have screen shots of Chris Redfield looking substantially different from the shot we are claiming to be him, could we at the very least update the pic to a capture fromt the recent trailer?

That was the old version of Chris from the very first teaser vid. The current "look" just appears to be tweaked and changed, but you can see that it was/still is Chris. But I agree, that render of Chris should be replaced by a (properly sourced rationale) picture of the latest Chris design. Parjay 03:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Which do you think is better? A, B, or C? I kinda like A and B, but that's my opinion. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 03:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd go with B, see his face more clearly, the patch on his arm, and less of his ridiculous arms. Parjay 04:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I like A, the lighting is better than B. Toolucky52384 15:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

... it's Chris it says in the new trailer.--Hitamaru 17:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

He knows it's Chris, did you read his post completely> ("He is wearing different clothes than Chris is wearing in the latest preview (the one confirming the main character to be chris)") He's talking about the really old render of Chris, that Capcom aren't using now (ie BSSA, new uniform etc.) Parjay ► Talk 17:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

B is too dark on my computer. I would go with A or C. Jonny2x4 22:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

There's too much going on in C. I'd go with A or B. Grandmasterka 21:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I photoshoped image B to make it brighter and smaller. Here's the scaled down original version, and the new one. What do you all think? --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 22:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

E3 Trailer Racism Controversy

Hello, I've noticed that there has already been a conversation about the Racism Controversy and while I've understood why it has been removed, I'd still like to propose to put a section called E3 Trailer Racism Controversy for the following reason:

While I completely agree with you that the entire game shouldn't be accused of gratuitous racism, I still think that a section should be dedicated to the public reaction to the E3 trailer, for a purely informative purpose. After all, whether or not one considers the E3 trailer as racist, it is a reality that it has offended a lot of people all over the world (especially people who don't know the context of the game series and only see a white man entering a village and getting assaulted by blood-thirsty Africans that he has to gun down).

Personally I'm sure the final game will be free of any racism and even have a deeper meaning, not unlike a Metal Gear Solid game. And when that time comes, I think it would be a shame if there was no little trivia about the public reaction to the E3 trailer 2007.

PS: If you need an official news website to back it up, here is a link to Foxnews: [1]

It's just not notable; it all boils down to one opinion on a blog by one person - that's hardly a notable "public reaction" nor is it "reality that it has offended a lot of people all over the world". Parjay ► Talk 23:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Quite the opposite. The majority of that "Racism Controversy" section is one man fighting tooth and nail to put a "Racism" section in the article. That guy aside, most people who care seem to be against him, myself included. Personally, I think that one person searched all over the internet for someone else who shared his view on the trailer. Or maybe he was just looking for an argument. I'm sure he's bound to show up here saying something like, "HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL YEAH!!!!!" or trying to push his opinion on other people, again.--Sherwood-Nightshade 00:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the other editors. To begin with, all the articles are mentioning one person, who is apparently a non-notable and outspoken blogger. Furthermore, it seems like blogger has never played a modern video game before, let alone a Resident Evil title. It seems like the racism issue would be more worthy of inclusion had well-known figures actually mentioned it. Anyway, for what’s best for the article and Wikipedia, it’s best to leave it out for know. As Sheerwood stated, we believe the person who originally posted the content was a Troll, or in non-internet jargon, someone who just wanted to create debates and disorder by intentionally posting controversial material. The content has not been deleted, but archived. There’s a link in the upper right hand corner. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 02:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

That doesn't look like a useful image to me. It's also too low-res.--Atlan (talk) 20:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Rita

Look on outbreak file 2 suporting characters and when you get to rita it says she is in re5

I don't know what your saying though.... 72.49.194.69 04:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Joshua

Im saying why dont we add her name to this article. it says on outbreak file 2 suporting characters that she will be in re5. i doubt she is the woman in the end of the trailer but we should put something on this article to say shes in re5. but then again it doesnt show a citation so she might not be in re5 anyway. DeadWood 16:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I removed it a while back. No one, ever, has mentioned Rita in RE5. Why would she be? Parjay ► Talk 17:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

If the game says she'll be in Resident Evil 5 then that's the same as Capcom (who produced the game) as saying she'll be in RE5. It doesn't make sence as to why she would be and why does Outbreak File 2 even mention Resident Evil 5?! I think I'm confused. If you can cite a verifiable source, then feel free to add the info. Remember, citations people, not editorial opinion. 72.49.194.69 19:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC) Joshua

No game says Rita will be in RE5. Someone added speculation/vandalism to the File 2 article, it was removed, forget about Rita.Parjay ► Talk 20:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification Parjay. Seems like someone else is confused about it. 72.49.194.69 21:31, 19 August 2007 (UTC) Joshua
