Craig HillGore Meter Set To 11 For Resident Evil 5 (LINK)

While the current crop of games are trying to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, the refreshing news has come through that the new Resident Evil 5 will keep the gore levels at a maximum rather than diluting the crimson to get a lower rating.
Rhys Cash, Capcom UK's research and planning manager has said “We’re never going to create a gore-free Resident Evil title to try and get a lower rating as it’s a game about the horror experience and gore is part of that.”
And so it should be. With a reassuring tone, Cash continued, “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 also let Wii owners know that they will at last have something to play when the girlfriend gets off their Wii Fit; “As we’ve shown with Resident Evil 4 Wii and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles there’s still a market for more mature titles even on these formats. There’s no reason why an appropriate adult title should be seen as something to be shied away from. What I do see publishers moving away from is titles whose only raison d'ętre is ‘adult themes’ and only goal is to shock,”
So it sounds as if the franchise is thankfully in safe hands. It looks as though the smattering of zombie innards will continue to ooze down our screens, but in a perfectly justified way.
Nice work Cash.
