Gore in a horror videogame? Or, better yet, gore in aResident Evilgame? That’s positively absurd! Wait, no it isn’t.
Captain Obvious gives us a quick fly by to tell us thatResident Evil 5will ship with plenty of gore packed in. Did anyone doubt that?
“We’re never going to create a gore-freeResident Eviltitle to try and get a lower rating as it’s a game about the horror experience and gore is part of that,” said Rhys Cash, Capcom UK’s research and planning manager. “We’re primarily about making great games and if it’s appropriate to the title we won’t shy away from making a 15+ or 18+ title.”
Cash mentioned that the popularity of the DS and Wii might cause some game makers to lean toward the younger ratings for their titles, but not Capcom.
“As we’ve shown withResident Evil 4 WiiandResident Evil: Umbrella Chroniclesthere’s still a market for more mature titles even on these formats.”
This non-news comes by way ofMCV, a UK-based site. I guess I could see how UK gamers, after all of theManhuntcrap, would be concerned about the loss of gore inRE5. But, if you ask me, aResident Evilwithout gore is like aMaddengame without footballs.
