Shinji Mikami wants Tango Gameworks to make smaller and non-horror games

From VGC: "Tango Gameworks founder Shinji Mikami has said he wants the Ghostwire Tokyo developer to work on smaller and non-horror games in the future.

The former Resident Evil series director said in the latest issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu – transcribed by VGC – that he wants people to stop associating the studio with a single genre, and that there are plans to make non-horror games in the future."

I think this is a good idea. I don't see a sequel to Evil Within 2 anytime soon since it didn't sell that well

[0hMyGandhi]

Agreed. I enjoyed EW1 and 2, but I would like to see them flex their muscle and dip their toes into other genres. I have not played Ghostwire Tokyo (and to be honest, was rather disappointed in much of what was shown after such a spectacularly moody and intriguing initial trailer) but Tango is super talented, and sometimes magic happens when a studio is taken out of their comfort zone.

Yeah I didn't like Ghostwire Tokyo after 3 hours playing. I thought it was mediocre at best

[CrimsonWing69]

Can we at least get a game that gives closure to Evil Within? 2 was really exceptional, in my opinion.

[VersusDMC]

It was closure to me. Castellano family story ended well.

I still would play a number 3 but i think it would be a different main character.

[Sirk7x]

One of the most underappreciated games of all last generation I feel.

Looking forward to ghostwire Tokyo. I think the was they use the dual sense sounds dope from the reviews

[TheColbertinator]

Annnnnd they lost me

[blackblades]

Smaller games are funner imo

[VersusDMC]

Hopefully smaller games doesn't mean stuff like Grounded and Bleeding Edge. Some teams are going to end up being gamepass filler game makers.

Kinda like Platinum pumping out those Activision licenced games...but hopefully that doesn't happen here.

Remember when the industry was moving towards smaller, one year developed games? Very short lived. Instead they went with pushing the idea that games are expensive to make and that's why they make em even bigger and more mainstream now.

It’s not like Mikami has made a REALLY good horror game since the Resident Evil days, so maybe this is for the best. I loved EW2, but I was shocked to learn it was not directed by Mikami, while the lackluster EW1 was.

[TricksterArrow]

Never managed to finish Evil Within 1. Too boring. EW2 on the other hand is a beast!

[jBlakeeper]

The Evil Within 1 is one of the best horror games imo. Its actually one of the scariest games out there.

This is bad news
