The Evil Within creator Shinji Mikami said he is returning to his survivor-horror roots with the Bethesda-published game, not only because he likes scaring people, but because it will be easier to do so now that graphics have increased.
Veteran video game developer Shinji Mikami has established a new company.
That’s according to a bio of the developer on the new Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered website, which claims that Mikami has recently founded ‘Kamuy Inc’.
No details further details on the company have been shared. There is also no indication of what the company will do.
Shinji should never stop making games. Kinda crazy he left the funding of M$ though.
I remember when it was announced that he was leaving Tango, someone on N4G claimed that he was old and it was time for him to retire.
I couldn't help but laugh at the ignorance. Mikami (like most Japanese people), do not want to work for Microsoft, they want their games to be played by their fellow citizens, which means Switch, Playstation, and PC. But this fool couldn't comprehend that. 🤣
Was waiting for his return announcement, glad to see that he's back! Please don't make mobile games.
I hope it's still survival horror
They should build on what they did with Evil Within for a new IP and take notes from the Evil Within sequel with those open hub areas.
Wouldn't mind if it was like Resident Evil but with a vampire virus instead.
Yeah this man's skills need a new start to thrive. Hope he keeps doing what he loves. Wonder what his next project is.
Xbox Game Pass continues to bring quality titles for gamers no matter the genre, but this time we here at CGMagazine have compiled a list of spine-tingling titles to celebrate the spooky season with.
The Dead Space Remake gets added to GamePass 10/26, definitely worth playing through.
The Epic Game Store's weekly freebies includes a game to give you nightmares.
Not really.
Resident Evil 2 and 4 were better than 1 and 3. Silent Hill 2 was better than 1, and I actually loved the 3rd. Fatal Frame 2 was better than 1.
The problem is that these days, Capcom and the likes are outsourcing their franchises to new teams and different developers that care more about action than actual survival horror.
Dead Space 3 is what happens when you care too much about action and multiplayer.
Looking forward to The Evil Within.
"Mikami feels sequels are “a big problem in horror entertainment” "
He would know.
Saw should have ended after the first one. Actually all horror movies should have ended after the first.
The problem with sequels is if they try to fix things that aint broken.
Developers should try to be innovative without changing the concept of a game.
Less chance then that fans will turn their back on a franchise.
Resident Evil 2 and 3 for example where very faithful to the first one, and even tho 4 was a nice game, it shouldnt never have introduced those damn parasites that turned Resident evil into a drag that looks nothing like the first three.
If they wanted a horror game with parasites, it would have been best to start a different franchise beside Resident evil, and keep Resident evil for what it is.
I tried part 6 a little while ago, and it was truly a horror, in the sense of it being the iteration that rapes the franchise.
The only survival horror games that I truly feel great at the moment are The Last of Us, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, Dead Space, and Dead Space 2. Not because they are truly scary, but because these games have enough balance of horror and survival experiences.
I agree that sequels may dilute the survival horror experience, but enough care should be taken by the developers to make the sequel to be as scary and challenging as the previous games. For example, I feel that Resident Evil 2 is more scarier and challenging than Resident Evil 5 and Resident evil 6.
