Resident Evil 2 announcement at nintendo direct tommoro (rumor)

[Rick Hunter]

^ FFXIII was one of the best-selling Final Fantasy games to date. Hence not one, but two sequels.

VII and VIII sold way more though. And they are probably doing sequels to milk and recycle its universe, maybe because they are incapable to deliver with a new kingdom hearts or something like versus 13.

XIII-2 sold quite poorly, it shows that XIII sold well mostly because of its name, the same happened with Diablo 3. I don't think XIII-3 will sell better than 2 either.

They are clearly in lack of creativity and good management these days...

Tell that to a Star Wars fan.

Ohhh, Star Wars is on a completely different level, hahaha!

Mikami had very little to do with the series in terms of creativity. Having him on-board would mean absolutely nothing, and he wasn't a fan of BH2's style of horror. He had almost nothing to do with making the series what it is aside from making the decisions that led to its derogatory impression in the industry as some sort of cheese-flick.

Kamiya wants to make new games, not revise old ones.

I'd rather they remake Gun Survivor than any of the main titles.

Well, he was onboard with RE:Make and that turned out to be one of the greatest things Capcom has done and in the Resident Evil series. I still think it wouldnt hurt to ask even though understandable Kamiya wants to make new games and not revise old ones, he was however the very person who made (probably in the series) the best Resident Evil game. Having Shinji Mikami on RE2 would be interesting as I think he may add some of his creativity on an already brilliant game, very much like how he's done with the first one

P.S. I might even seriously consider remodelling one of the environment myself to see how it would look

Being "onboard" means nothing if he doesn't actually do anything.

It looks like you don't think much of Mikami and Kamiya, but they deserve some credit for Resident Evil 1 and 2.These games wouldn't exist without them.

But, anyway, what was the announcement on Jan 24?

I think very highly of Kamiya, which is one reason I think he should be allowed to do things he actually wants to do.

Mikami, who is alright when he has a competent team of planners and designers, simply did not have much to do with BH1. I have no respect for him creatively because he has yet to actually do anything. All of his major successes were done by other people, he just got stuck with all the credit.

So you can say, Mikami is a visionary, who had a team make his ideas come to life. There is nothing wrong with that. If that competent team of planners and designers didn't have Mikami, there would be no Resident Evil. It was his idea.

[News Bot]

Mikami never came up with any real ideas. BIOHAZARD was also not Mikami's idea, it was his mentor's, Tokuro Fujiwara.

He's about as much a visionary as Steve Jobs. That is, not at-fucking-all.

[Black~Crow]

Well, I read in articles and seen on TV that state it was Mikami's idea. He was influenced by Alone in the Dark, as I recall. And, where is the artlicle or video that says Tokuro Fujiware created Resident Evil?

If it is true, then what role do you think Mikami played in the Resident Evil games? I still think you will say something negative, I know by your own words that you have something against him.

[Black~Crow]

I beginning to think News bot is full of hot air. I think he knows as much as me or less. I am wondering if he is making up things as he goes along. He didn't show me any proof, and he writes with such anger that he is right about something, but doesn't show proof? News bot just sound like a wannabe fan boy. Sorry, but you have to prove to me what you are saying. I have a suspicious mind and my conspiracy theory meter is going off. When you show me evidence, then I will take you seriously.

*slow clap* Steve Jobs was a manipulative, uninspired man... but MAN could he get people to work overtime.

lol I have a conspiracy theory meter as well, and it's telling me that you're just pissed because Newsbot is literally right nine out of ten times. I know it's a tough pill to swallow, I struggled with it too at first. But you just learn to accept it, and realize that you could actually learn some things from the things he's saying. Unfortunately, some peoples' RE Beer Goggles refuse to allow people to see that most of their rosie misconceptions about RE, Capcom and the events behind the development are no more factual than the adventures of the "Magic School Bus"

And your brown nosing behavior does not convince me he is right most of the time, he doesn't show any proof? It is just his opinion as far as I am concerned. And yours for that matter.

Bringing Steve Jobs into this discussion is ridiculous, he was a great visionary in the computer industry. Art meets technology, no one else did that.

lol The truth always sounds like a lie to someone who doesn't want to hear it. And the Steve Jobs didn't make "art" or "technology". His underlings did, under incredible pressure from Jobs who was known for being an irate bastard when his team didn't work fast enough- despite they were the ones with the ideas and making him the money. He just got up on stage and basically took credit for being the tech messiah.

What truth? You know the saying, "Show me, Don't tell me". Well, when I see evidence to back up News bot's statement, then I will believe him.

As for Steve Jobs, he gave credit to the talented team of people who worked on various things. Look at his Keynote speeches on YouTube. Just think of this, you come up with an idea, and don't know how to do this or that, so you hire people to do it for you. But, without your vision, there wouldn't be any project to work on. The talented people are like worker bees, who follow the queen bees orders.

So, a visionary is like a blue print maker, who hires experts to build their ideas.

I completely disagree, but I respect your opinion. As for Newsbot, you kind of have to imagine his situation. He has relationships with the devs, the people who were THERE, and they told him a shitload of stuff. Now, a lot of that stuff he was asked not to implicitly tell people and he's keeping his word which is the honorable thing to do. That may seem hokey, but we're talking about trust here and he's doing his best to preserve that trust so in the long run, we might get that info. It's a hard situation to be in, he wants to tell us, but can't. That doesn't mean he can't sort of "point us in the right direction" when we're way off base. All I'm saying is that if you take the focus off of what he's NOT telling us, and looking at what he is telling us, you might start seeing the patterns as to how things are.

[Black~Crow]

And I respect your opinion, but I am not buying that story. It seems to be a perfect excuse not to give any proof. I am not asking to give any developers name or address, just prove to me that what you are saying is a fact.
