Back 4 Blood Beta Players Think They Hear Zombies Yelling The N-Word [Update]
Kotaku ^ | 8-7-21 | Zack Zwiezen

Last night, while playing the Back 4 Blood beta on PS5, I was attacked by a large group of zombies. That’s not surprising; it happens all the time in the game. What was shocking was hearing a sound clip from one of the zombies that made it seem like it was yelling out a racial slur. Based on viral videos making the rounds right now, I’m not the only one hearing that similarity. Other beta players say they’re hearing the same thing: Zombies yelling the n-word.

Back 4 Blood is the latest game from original Left 4 Dead developers Turtle Rock Studios. It plays a lot like Left 4 Dead, which isn’t a bad thing at all! Those older L4D games were some of the best co-op games ever made. But the undead in B4B are more vocal than the infected in L4D, often yelling and screaming more noticeably. Most of these screams are just random noises and grunts. But one scream that I and other players have heard stands out in a way that is 100% likely unintentional but also 100% unfortunate.

How the heck would the game know the color of your skin, anyway?

You know you have a wasted life if you worry about what characters in a video game are yelling.

This cupcake wouldn’t survive three days in my world.

Zombies can pretty much yell whatever they want, and they vote democrat.....being dead has some advantages.

Badger:
OK, OK, OK, Call of Duty: World at War zombie mode. Now that's the bomb, man. Think on it, bro. They're not just zombies: they're nazi zombies.

Skinny Pete:
Nazi zombies...

Badger:
Yeah, man! SS Waffen troopers, too, which are like the baddest ass nazis of the whole nazi family!

Skinny Pete:
Zombies are dead, man! What difference does it make what their job was when they was living?

Badger:
Dude, you are so historically retarded! Nazi zombies don't wanna eat ya just 'cause they're craving the protein. They do it 'cause, they do it 'cause they hate Americans, man. Talibans. They're the Talibans of the zombie world.

I’m still trying to figure out if Jimi sang out “kiss the sky” or “kiss this guy”. I suppose I’m behind the times 🤔😀😀

Racist zombies are proof of systemic racism.
