Takeuchi: black people are working on RE5

Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) producer Jun Takeuchi was recently interviewed about the big game on various topics. Among the things discussed were chainsaws, racism, controls, and horror elements. We’ve got some of the juiciest excerpts in the full article up ahead.

That whole racism issue that early trailers of Resident Evil 5 (PS3, Xbox 360) created just wouldn’t die, would they? Just when you thought that we all put a lid on that one, Jun Takeuchi revisited the topic in a recent interview.

Answering the statement made by N’Gai Croal in an article some months ago that the are “clearly no black people” working on Resident Evil 5, Capcom‘s Jun Takeuchi said:

To answer the question that was posted on your blog, there are black members in the development team. We do have staff working on the game, who are aware of the historical background and we are constantly checking these kinds of things with them.

Other topics discussed in the interview included Resident Evil 5‘s control scheme, multiplayer co-op, horror, and more. All of which you can read about by following the source link to the full interview on Takeuchi.

And for the record, the Resident Evil 5 producer answered a burning question. Does he own a chainsaw? His response:

No I donÂ’t own a chainsaw. In real life theyÂ’re pretty scary. Just having them in the game is enough.
