If I were in charge of this game the characters personality would reflect the environment just for the sake of variety since there's no black MC in RE or games in the hood

Now that doesn't mean he'll be stereotypically black though

It would be the San Andreas of Resident Evil.

Make the MC a black man in his mid 20s and the woman mc a Latina in her 20s, set in New York with a quarantine vibe in a huge apartment complex that unbeknownst to the inhabitants it has a secret lair where the landlord works on his experiments for umbrella. Being a landlord is just a front :mjlol:

Capcom probably reading this like :ohhh:
If this shyt doesn't sound intriguing though :ohhh:

If you came up with a composite of every black person in America, he or she would end up "stereotypical."

My point stands; there's nothing wrong with that. Of course you wouldn't want these character to be a caricature. But, I hate the new age of blank slate protagonist.

Take Lee from The Walking Dead for example. Great game, great story. But, he was a college professor from Georgia, who murdered his wife and his family owned a drug store.

I'd bet any type of money he was originally a white man. Granted, the world stands in a place where the past matters very little.

The only thing is Lee tries to hide he was arrested for murder before this all happened and that his family owned the drug store they were holed up in.

He didn't have a uniquely black story.

I tire of people demanding black characters...as long as they don't act like black people and they point to "stereotypes" as if that means anything but a reference to The White Gaze.

You could tell an amazing story based off a materialistic, sexist, violent, ignorant black male drug dealer now having to adjust to a post zombie apocalypse world.

But, storytelling is at a place where people wouldn't even give him a chance to grow.

I'd make that negro ghetto as fukk. Those people are still human, with stories to tell. But, the mainstream wants to act like they don't exist.

Im posting from the typical CAC perspective, if it's gay shyt or focused on women it's a problem to them

I'd rather it not be so PC with the LGBT though. It's not hard to make this game because you'd rarely leave the building. Tidbits about gentrification scrawled on notes in game could be a thing for atmospheric vibes but other than that it's not necessary.

IMO, that crowd (sexist, racist, etc.) rarely matters. They'll still buy a good game.

These media companies just love covering their opinions for clicks.

That Harley Quinn movie didn't simple flop because men don't like women.

DC has never been able to really get a foothold in comic book movies because they refuse to be creative and come off as knock off MCU films.

Let's make this thread s collaborative effort, we know it might not ever happen, but let's all share ideas, enemy types, weapons that'd be cool to see in this "game" if it were real.

I'd call it RESIDENT EVIL: CODE ZONE

Enemy types:


Regular zombies

Crimson heads

Scurriers ( new enemy type, mutated rats the size of a licker that poison the players, makes screeching noises, white with blood red eyes)


Pigeons (infected birds)


Giant roaches

Agreed, so what would be your script for the game?

The Kotaku's of the worlds would ruin it because liberal white people think it's their jobs to police black people like special needs kids.

See Cyberpunk

Opppp, that's racist

That's problematic

What about the black women?

What about the trans, short, laser printer identifying, non binaries?

Why does he talk like that?

Should we celebrating a game with black people being voilent?

I hope ya'll see why "black content" isn't made unless it's basically stories of chocolate covered white people (aka black experiences from a lense that white ppl would understand is because of this woke bullshyt.
This isn't entirely off base :francis:

I liked how Dead Island was supposed to start with a zombie outbreak during a party.

But, I'd prolly start it off in the classic sense where you got a dead body in the middle street, covered by a sheet with a crowd and cops.

And after dialogue and what not, that bytch sits up :merchant:maybe have the cops kill it and then there be reports of a hospital being overran.

I'd make the hospital where the Umbrella lab is--play to the conspiracy of "urban areas" being experimented on. Make that where the climax happens.

I would definitely keep it contained, but, maybe a couple blocks and few high rises and a hospital.

I haven't thought of it too much after that.
