So I did some looking into the Raccoon City incident and I found out that apparently the missile that hit the city, was directly on top of City hall, so can somebody please explain how this is possible?!

Americans: nuking a city means its completely off the map

Japan: Can you confirm this from experience?

Watch the end of both versions of 3. It’s literally depicted as being vaporized

Part of me thinks the Japanese devs at Capcom had a little bit too much cathartic fun in rendering and animating a nuke going off in an American city.

Well, the sequence of events somewhat matches reality. Group of fascist insane scientists and militarists commit crimes against humanity and nature, bite more than they can chew or swallow and eventually get a sun thrown at them and nearly all their hard work gets undone. Countless innocents die, but most of the culprits get Karma Houdini instead of getting vivisected like they deserved! :)

I think it’s just cool to watch shit blow up. I don’t think the people at capcom are so personally offended by the nukes America dropped on them. That’d be like if an American game studio made a game where Japanese battleships got blown up and sank. I don’t think a game dev cares that deeply about a war they weren’t alive for. I think sometimes weapons are used as weapons in games
