Let's cool it with the off-topic bait threads for a moment

Let's cool it with the off-topic bait threads for a moment.

Somebody made a really excellent interview with Shinji Mikami to celebrate his 30th anniversary as a game developer. For the uninitiated this is the director behind games such as Resident Evil, God Hand and Vanquish. Also the producer behind games such as Devil May Cry, Killer7 and Phoenix Wright.

This video consists of some interesting insights where Mikami talks about his career. He talks about how he originally wanted Resident Evil to be first person but went with fixed camera due to talent and tech limitations. He apparently thinks its weird that people like the fixed camera.

>He apparently thinks its weird that people like the fixed camera.
Weebs always do this.
They pick some random quirk or feature from something Japanese and hail it as immutable perfection.
Then someone actually asks one of the staff about it and they go 'oh yeah that happened because we ran out of time' or 'it was shit though, do gaijin really?"

I wish he had stayed at Capcom.

Mikami is a hack. Total control with Evil Within, made shit.

Someone else was the real hero.

Evil Within 1 is a flawed masterpiece and would have been a classic with some more polish.

Yes.

A decision doesn’t have to be organic for it to be a good one.

It was better than RE 5,6 and 7.
It reeked of AA japjank and that shit is my jam. I agree with the other user.

Too bad for him REmake is still my favorite.

If its so shit why do it again lmao

When people turn on nip voices though they don't understand Japanese and then assert the acting is better.

Hit a nerve Ken-sama? How's the sword licence treating you?

Mikami doesn't like horror. He made the best horror game ever made (twice).

He doesn't like fixed camera angles. He made the best fixed camera angle game ever made (twice).

Sometimes it pays to be good at things you don't like.

Is that why you suck so much cock, user?

>Mikami doesn't like horror. He made the best horror game ever made (twice).

Mikami likes horror, it's Kamiya who doesn't; the director of RE2/DMC1.

>Bro check it out I own every Final Fantasy on the Super Famicom
>Cool, didn't know you read Japanese
>I dont

Who says I don't like sucking cock?

Nah it's well-known that none of the Bio 1 team liked horror with the exception of Iwao.

He's kinda overrated tbqh.

The westeners surpass him with Dead Space.

Yes.

I'm sure it was Mikami who held Kamiya's autism during dmc1 development otherwise we would get more shit like bike/rocket sections from Bayonetta

>thinks a franchise can change to whatever genre because it has a different director for each new entry
I like him, but seriously fuck him, that mindset brought us RE4-5-6 and many other fucking garbage RE games for over a decade. And RE8 is on its way to be RE4 2.0
Resident Evil is survival horror and should've always been just that.

>re4,5,6
>garbage
kill yourself immediately

>I like him, but seriously fuck him, that mindset brought us RE4-5-6 and many other fucking garbage RE games for over a decade.

If it wasn't thanks to this mindset Resident Evil as a franchise would be dead by now. Mikami is both a director and a producer, he understood that RE4 was necessary in that point in time for the franchise to survive, same with RE7; which he apparently loves.

There's clearly more Italian cinema in early RE than French
