Well shouldn't have been controversial to begin with. If it were a black protagonist killing mainly white zombies, then there wouldn't have been a complaint. People need to chillax with things like this.
As for the quality of the game, RE5 was a good game, but not a good RE game. Story was completely ridiculous and the game offered very few memorable moments. I mean if you are going to do a story like that, don't tie it in a lot to the older games in the series. RE4 had a good mix of that as it made some ties, but for the most part was game that rested purely on itself.
What I want to see from RE6 is more like what we got from RE4 and with a mix of RE1... or mainly the puzzles. I haven't found any RE game to be scary, so really not too worried about that, but keep the atmosphere creepy at least and the intensity of some of the battles in the series.
