ElTerprise: Yep. Indeed. The game is based on a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dwarves_(novel)]fantasy novel[/url] is going to be an RPG. I hope so too :)
Interesting. I will have a closer look at it sometime.
CarrionCrow: Would say you're right on that one. People will keep going with what they think they know, rather than shooting for accuracy.
4 is the one that began the shift towards heavier action. But, from everything I've heard along with my own playing so far, it still has a balance between action and suspense/survival horror-type stuff.
5 and 6 are really the ones that took any kind of balance and threw it out the window. The further along the series has gone, the more they've turned into standard action games, to the point of zombies having guns in 6.
5 is the one set in Africa, and yes, they had people complaining because they had Africans running around in headdresses like stereotypical tribesman, throwing spears at the character.
4 is set in Spain, but the general locations look like a bleak craphole in a forest in eastern Europe.
That is true, I can understand them doing it, and I am sure most people are not even aware of it being anything but a demonic symbol.
Is 4 the game where Leon is suddenly working for the President? That is one of the things that put me off with the games, how everything just got blown out of proportion. I am not sure how to explain it, but it had a feeling of realism at the start, it was on a small scale with regular characters (and yes, I know that is silly to say given it is a game about zombies), but the later games just got silly.
But is it stereotypical when such tribes do still exist? Could it not be seen as showing off African culture? But it is a tricky subject given the culture we live in these days. It is hard not to offend someone no matter what you do, which is why so many games stick to white male characters, because they are often scared to try different ethnicities and genders.
