Leo Tan you have my Sword... seriously any one you need taking out... %50 off... except political assassinations... however I won't put an extra cost onto political assassinations... -everyone staring-... what... I moon light as a hit man what's wrong with that... most the people I killed never deserved it.
Okay that aside this guy as earned my respect, nice to see some one standing up for us gamers who seem to get all the bad press lately.

Great, more prominent (er, I think) religious figures making us all look like uptight and backward cowards completely out of touch with the present.
So, in this case, good on you Capcom, and as for the aforementioned religious figures involved, I have just one word:
Silence!

This. I like to see developers standing up for their medium; I guess it's one of the few things that are guaranteed to earn respect from me.messy said:
Even if Resident Evil 5 was NOTHING compared to the sheer greatness that was 4. Just my opinion though.
The logic in Leo Tan's statements greatly please me! Now if only he could make an equally logical argument about why the rest of Capcom's staff was smoking crack when they developed the gameplay in RE5. I understand they made Darkside Chronicles in order to recover from the RE5 backlash, but unfortunately they released it for the Wii - a system I don't have and will not buy because there are too few good games on it.
It would be like if my girlfriend did something terrible to me (i.e. making RE5 for PS3/360) and to apologize, she mailed me flowers (RE:TDC), except she got my address wrong and mailed them to a bunch of whiny privilaged 10 year old kids.

Yeah, good luck taking on religious criticism, Capcom. If this was their view, they shouldn't have even bothered addressing them at all. Typical religious hysteria? What about the hysteria surrounded around releases for these games? That's cool though, because you profit from it.
I can't agree or disagree with the response; if they don't believe something is true, of course they will refute it. They certainly aren't the first videogame company to address the issue of violence in gaming. They are certainly late to the party, but at least they bought chips.
Yo Capcom, I hope you're doing everything in your power to help the Aussies and other countries who are getting shafted when it comes to gaming. Otherwise, this is barely newsworthy posturing.
