Shiva’s unlockable RE5 outfit leaves little to the imagination
An unlockable outfit for Resident Evil 5′s Shiva has been shown off over at Kotaku. It’s a leopard bikini adorned with tribal symbols, a couple feathers and some animal bones. She’s wearing high-heels and body paint, just to round things off.
The normal sort of thing you would see a woman wear to the beach, or when shooting zombies in the face.
Outfits in the game are purchasable after being unlocked, and apparently Chris Redfield’s aren’t worth mentioning.
Game’s out Friday. More skimpy through the link.

Well whats the point of having a smoking babe, if you can’t unlock less clothing?

Yeah, ‘cos tribal leopoard skin gear with bones & feathers accessories is what all black chicks wear when they’re off duty.
Oh, Capcom. You really don’t do yourself any favours…

RE4: A Tragedy in 1 Act.
Critics & PC TYpes: “Boooo! Res 5 is racist, and shows African people as inhuman, monstrous, one-dimenensional stereotypes!”
Capcom: “Not at all. In fact, one of the two co-op characters is a proud, strong and capable young African woman.”
Gamers: “Get to the important point – is she fit?”
Capcom: “Fit? Wait till you see her in that unlockable bones & feathers tribal outfit we’ve….oh shit….”
Critics & PC Types: “Ah-ha! We bloody knew it!”

Oh please, it’s a themed bikini. The theme is Africa. You know, because the game is set in Africa?

I wish someone would lock N’Gai up and lose the key.
Also Chris get a clubbing outfit to match Sheva’s and his old STARS uniform.
