Here's a link to the extended trailer (Violent/Horror stuff, not surprisingly).

What other thing? I don't think there's another issue that obviously leaps to mind.

WTF were they thinking?

I guess it's okay, but I won't be playing it.

I'm comfortable with it, but I can see how other people would be bothered.

I know what you're talking about but it's BS, this game is about zombies, all is well.

Blog discussion: From a gaming perspective Evil Avatar and from a political perspective Ezra Klein who cites Radosh.

One of the commentators pointed out this interview with Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi. It was in reference to an earlier trailer (I'm guessing this one) but the design philosophy notes apply to both.

The video does not actually reveal the nature of the enemies that are pursuing the main character. The primary enemy is a new element to the game and it's currently a closely guarded secret. The enemies are meant to come after players in great numbers, conveying the sense of insanity of hoards of natives that Takeuchi took away from Black Hawk Down. We can apparently expect something along the lines of the primary enemy in Resident Evil 4, who spoke a language that you were unable to understand and were more advanced than the zombies that have appeared in previous survival horror games. Takeuchi and crew are actually working on ways to make the enemy even more expressive this time around.
