Echochrome For PS3/PSP Labelled “Racist”

Ripten writes:

"The mind-twisting puzzle game Echochrome made its way to Play.com Live, available on the same unit as Hot Shots Golf 5. Recently released in Japan, I was able to get my hands on some of the latter levels in the game.

As the difficulty ramped up, a mini crowd built around me. With them in awe of my genius (read; luck) I wasn’t quite expecting the opinion I overheard."

Looks like a site looking for hits.
Must be the slow news period towards E3.
We should prep ourselves for even worst submissions than this.

Ohh and the guy who made the comment must not have played a lot of Dos computer games.

No one complains when we kill aliens, who speaks out on behalf of the aliens, It's just prejudice I tell you.

I think the guy who said the game is racist is a racist himself. Or is just dumb. Some people just need to get a life already. If you do a game in black and white of course it could look racist. Everything can look racist if you spend too much time looking for it.

I agree, I think this is someone who wants to see what is simply not there. These articles are getting old and tiresome.

But for those who make light of real racism have not been a victim of it themselves.

1.10 - Wait..

So when some 'young gentlemen' (read: kid) watching a demo proclaims that it's racist, all of a sudden, the game is officially shortlisted as a 'racist' game?

What?!?! It's just some little kid trying to be funny!... How the hell did this story even get published??

Agreed. This is utterly bullsh1t. Does everything gaming has to be about racism ? First it was Uncharted, Resident Evil and now this ?

This sh1t has got to stop.

Wow, when you go down to this level of interpretation every Rorschach inkblot test could be interpreted with racism. I think it is more telling about the state of mind of the people making those far-fetched interpretations.

3.4 - I remeber in 07 like around March when Locoroco came out and it was labelled

as a sublime attemp at being racist. and even the new marketing for the PSP when the new ceramic white came out, either way these misconceptions tend to happen. it's really only racially insecure people who get offended by small things who inturn are racist that allow this misconceptions get the best of them...

Uncharted and Resident evil are not racist it's just a game with a story that pits you against another culture for a mode of survival in finding out the truth of some thing gone terribly wrong, if people acnt understand such a thing they should really just keep the hell out of the video game industry and look at the blatant racism that happens in the present day, while not as over the top and not occoring as much as it was in the past.
