Resident Evil 5 Viral Trailer One: Ceremony

I've seen a fun amount of viral trailers lately in gaming. Some were very memorable. Of course these types of marketing ads are used for games that have the hype to potentially outsell everything. Is Resident Evil5 worthy of being Capcom's next big money maker? Only a month after another huge Capcom hit Resident Evil 5 will be coming out for Xbox360/PS3 on March 13. Despite all the controversy of racism and controls the fact that it was the most downloaded demo on Xbox Live might foreshadow this game's sales.

After playing the demo myself I can't wait to play RE5 on co-op as we stop-and-gun the seemingly endless hordes of zombies. If you've played Resident Evil 4 you know what to expect. If not, then help yourself to the trailer and get excited.

Maybe a "fair amount" of viral trailers? I already assumed they were fun.

Resident Evil 5, racist? May I play it first before I pass judgement? I still can't get over that there's a black female as one of the main characters. I think that's kind of cool. However, I don't believe Japanese developers are as aware of the racial sensitivities of black culture, at least not enough to be intentionally trying to hurt people.

All zombies are going to try to kill you no matter what color they are. Quite frankly all zombies look the same after a while. It's the uninfected Africans that I'll be watching in terms of offensive material.
