When Capcom America was first informed of the premise for the new Resident Evil/Biohazard game from their Japanese braintrust, I bet one or four people in the office first thought it was a joke, as in a contrived narrative story which comically defies expectations, and then thought it was a joke, like, you can't...be...serious...

An American, white police officer goes to small-village Africa to investigate a zombie virus, where he is attacked by its entire mouth-foaming, eye-rolling population.

Somewhere, Al Sharpton is theatrically clearing his throat.

The trailer, while brilliantly edited, plucks every string on the racially insensitive krar: the indistinguishable Africans, lazy and inscrutable until they form a murderous, pitchfork-toting mob, are mowed down by the square-jawed white hero.

I'm praying that this game has a Constant Gardener-like twist, whereby an evil Western drug company infects these poor Africans with the T-virus, for two reasons: one, so I can play it, because it looks amazing, and two, so that a major corporation did not actually approve a game solely about a white police officer going to Africa to kill crazed black people.
