Hell Descent: In an interview with Gametrailers, Shadows of the Damned producer Shinji Mikami tells that Damned was once a very different project. Some of you may not remember, but we reported on Suda51′s survival horror title Kurayami (Darkness in Japanese) being in the works a long time ago. Kurayami faced major changes since development. What started as a game literally shrouded in darkness because a punk 3rd person horror shooter....
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.
I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.
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.
It's the enjoyment of independence since leaving Capcom that he probably likes. Your company, your rules.
Also, I don't think it's Microsoft's money that would have kept him around. The problem is their culture. We've seen more than once where individuals or teams wanted to leave Microsoft because of how they run things.
I don't think I've ever seen a developer at Nintendo or Sony that bought themselves out from being controlled. But we've seen it at Microsoft. Should be interesting what he decides to do next.
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.
Im starting to hate EA more and more due to the lately moves they are making!I seems that they wanted Bulletstorm to be toned too but gladly PCF and EPIC didn't went on the move!Stoping a fan from playing the original copy of DA2 that he brought at a store just because he made a wrong comment at BW forum!Wend publishers start put there filthy money graber hand on some producer project vision things just got nasty for us gamers!I wish there were more independent publishers because the gaming industry is been rule by EA-ACTIVISION-UBISOFT-CAPCOM-S QUARE and independent developers are on this guys hands!It seems the only one that dont mess to much with independent studios working for them is Sony and maybe thats the reason some great studios keep working with them!
So this Shadow of the Damned is essentially Kurayami? I'm definitely not playing this watered down garbage now. I'll avoid Suda 51's crap fests from now on. I guess I can go ahead and add Suda 51, Mikami, & EA to the list of shit devs I'll never play games from.
I was hoping Kurayami would be a different game but they turned it into this shit. I guess EA really is the devil.
Too many fucking games being downgraded for the casual masses. Wich is more important? a mediocre game with undeserved riches or the core players satisfaction? FUCK YOU EAss.
Ugh... if they can go over the top with Dead Space 2, why not with this game?
.
So "Shadow Of The Damned" is Suda 51's "Kurayami"???
