Shinji Mikami wants nothing to do with Resident Evil 6

Welp, this is one thing that Mr. Mikami and I have in common.

I believe it was Mikami's decision to scrap 1.5, but lets keep discussion of that to the 1.5 thread. I don't blame the guy, RE4 and 5 are my least favorite of the series because they just aren't RE games. People might have praised them but the thing is the people that did weren't the original fan base of the series! It succeeded in bringing new people to the franchise sure, but in turn it just alienated it's core fans. They just threw out the entire foundation of the series. I really hope with RE6 they fix their mistake, somehow i doubt it though, i predict it'll be more of the same action bullshit and that the only remnants of the original series will be played out in half assed budget rail shooters.

Wasn't this the exact same response when he was asked about RE5 a few years ago?

Shinji moved on from Capcom years ago, and nothing in his response screams frustration.

Edit: btw, title is kind of misleading. Just sayin'.

I don't know if you guys knew about this or not, but I figured I'd post it here incase you were interested.

My thoughts? He wanted nothing to do with RE5, and I can't say I blame him. It really feels like he is frustrated with Capcom, and that Capcom wouldn't let him do what he wanted with the series. Remember, he wanted 3.5 the way it was, but Capcom made him change it. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same thing with 1.5. And Mikami wanted to keep RE4 a GameCube exclusive, and Capcom changed that on him too. Both 1.5 and 3.5 were in development by him, and Capcom gave him shit over it. He may have liked RE4, but I don't think that is the way he really wanted RE4 to be.

The only thing is, I believe Mikami had said one time that even he didn't care for 1.5, but you know what, no matter what Capcom employees say about 1.5, I just don't see it being as bad as they say it is. But I wonder if Mikami really thought 1.5 was bad, and that he was just saying that to support Capcom's decision.

I wanted nothing to do with RE5 either lol! It was the first RE game that I never bought or played, even once. It's not Resident Evil anymore. It is nothing but a corny-story full-blown action game.
