Blog #8: Joystiq interview: Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi

Blog #8. Meh. This is the only homework I have...without it I would have none... I was so close. Blog #8: Find a text that addresses culture - this could be food, clothes, traditions, religion, etc. Guess what's coming??? Yay, that's right, more Resident Evil 5 topics! So, in order of culture ideas expressed on the blogging sheet (and I will describe things beyond the article, since I've played the demo around 10 times): food - watermelons and apples, clothes - somewhat ragge shirts and shorts, some nicer things like dress shirts less common, traditions - um...killing people (IN THE DEMO! IN THE DEMO!), culture - cults (again in the demo). Now remember. This is a demo. For a game. About zombies. Out of all the things I listed, the true ones are probably (roughly) food and clothes. Apparently, a while ago, Capcom employees went to Africa to see what it looks like, and what is common in Africa. They tried to make the game as much like Africa as possible...besides the killing of people and zombies and murder and explosions. I think that it was a noble effort of Capcom to actually make the effort to go to Africa to notice deatils and imrove the game. For example, since Africa is not actually completly composed of African-Americans, Resident Evil 5 has multi-cultural people in Africa.
