Shinji Mikami: Resident Evil 6 is less of a horror game, dislikes RE series continuing without him

Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami reveals that he isn’t too fond for the RE series anymore. The developer admits that he doesn’t like the fact that someone else created Resident Evil 5 without him and that Resident Evil 6 seems “more like a Hollywood action film than a zombie game.”

He finally publicly speaks his opinion on the matter.
Oh well sure what can you do lol.

sinncross4696d ago

Well, pretty much speaks the minds of many gamers.

I think RE6 looks like its going to be a fun action game... but an action game only.

That said, I am interested to see how Mikami's new project spans out...

WeskerChildReborned4696d ago

Same here, i like survival horrors cause they are awesome but the bad thing is i guess that they don't attract enough attention thus making games change to try to attract more of an audience like Dead Space 3, i loved that game because it was scary cause you don't know whats gonna happen and sometimes i would jump cause necromorphs would pop up at random times like unexpectedly but now, DS3 looks to be action as well and has universal ammo which kinda ruins the experience. I hope you can enable/disable universal ammo.

Treian4696d ago

the game even looks bad as a action game lol

DarkBlood4696d ago (Edited 4696d ago )

in a weird way the one of the reasons im getting this is for the continuation of the resident evil story *despite lack of horror etc* not for its gameplay even though i enjoy the gameplay changes since re4 since i still prefer the classic gameplay

so all in all had it not been called resident evil and the story having nothing to do it, i would have not really given the game with gameplay like this that much attention at all

and yes i realise it sounds like im getting sucked in because of the name

p.s looking forward to mikami's new game as well

Red_Orange_Juice4695d ago (Edited 4695d ago )

How about you stop riding RE pony and start new non-horror franchise, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it gots to be RE, name alone sells half the copies, other half is kids who just need zombies in their game

showtimefolks4696d ago

capcom wants to please everyone so they are including different single player stories. I think this will back fire because from what i have heard the old style is still the best and everything else doesn't feel right

let's hope capcom gets it right but somehow i doubt that

YoungKingDoran4696d ago

what can he do??
he can make us a kickass, new horror game.
i have loved everything he has put out the last few years, and further back of course
+ suda51: killer7, shadows of the damned
vanquish, god hand, RE 1-4

Them_Bones4695d ago

He is making one though, it's a next gen title codenamed Zwei check it out.

yeahokchief4695d ago (Edited 4695d ago )

Shinji Mikami IS THE FUCKING MAN!

SHinji Mikami for president of Capcom! Capcom should release all rights to resident evil to this guy. He created it.

Ditto on still not having played RE5 and I played every other game in the series and most of the spinoffs on the ps1/2. It's not survival horror anymore. Period.

So he pretty much agrees with the majority of RE fans

Dont buy the game on launch and Capcom will learn their lesson...what is so hard about that.

If I was him I would create a new IP just like RE.....Zombies, a mansion, a special team of characters going in to check things out. Not really copying when you created the RE fanchise. That would be a giant middle finger to Capcom

Treian4696d ago

He is creating a new IP. Zwei.

Baka-akaB4696d ago

yeah pulling a "bayonetta" could be nice

Kyosuke_Sanada4696d ago (Edited 4696d ago )

I vote for the names "Necroshift", "Zerocyte" or "Cell Breaker"....

Simon_Brezhnev4695d ago

I agree with you but capcom has the dumbest fans. They will buy it just because it has RE in the name.

user54670074695d ago (Edited 4695d ago )

You should see some on the fans on their Facebook fan page

People are actually believing Capcoms lies that it's a horror game. I feel like punching each person on the page who comment on their photos thanking them...I mean it's people like them why Capcom are so corrupt.

Subzero2004696d ago

maybe that's cause he knows the game sucks now.

Leonesaurus4696d ago

I don't blame him one bit. Mikami's the fucking man!

Even though I still do enjoy "most" of the RE games that have come out since he left quite a bit, his games, especially the RE Remake, were the BEST hands down. They were also some of the best games in the industry and its history.

Capcom reveals its PC game [digital] sales overshadow console, and it's only growing

The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.

Vits1d 13h ago

What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.

So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.

neutralgamer19921d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in

And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards

FPS_D3TH15h ago

As a gamer who also loves replaying his old favorite titles, possibly with a few mods as well, I can’t imagine ever getting another console.

TheColbertinator1d ago

Make every game available on Steam by default. The consoles are secondary

Profchaos22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC

but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR

dveio19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Is this really suprising? Looking at the evolution of the Switch, X|S and Playstation 5?

Eonjay14h ago

The biggest cause is probably the lack of game purchases on the Xbox platform. Also keep in mind this is only digital sales so there is a chunk of sales not being shown here.

More games in development you say, Breath of Fire 3 and 4 remastered collection? Because that is what I am waiting for.

gold_drake15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

4 just came out for pc again.

not a remaster tho

FinalFantasyFanatic14d ago

I would buy remasters of 3 and 4 in a heartbeat, although GOG did make some improvements to the BOF4, it looks great for an old game.

CrimsonWing6915d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Man, of everything they have remastered, I’d give them all up if it meant just getting these 2 remasters.

gold_drake15d ago

look, capcom has found a sweet spot for their games.

the RE engine is pretty amazing.

Goodguy0115d ago

I wonder if they'll continue to make any new ace attorney and megaman games. They should definitely revisit breath of fire at some point, remaster em, pixel remaster. Please, something capcom.

neutralgamer199215d ago

I think they will continue to utilize all their IP's. They have found how to succeed and that's by making fun games
