Mikami: RE4 was made because Onimusha 3 SUCKED!

[Pikminister]

Mikami spoke about RE4 during an interview with ShackNews.

Check it out:

Mikami: "(BioHazard 4) it came from playing Onimusha 3.

If only the camera was behind the player, it would have been so much better.

That stemmed the idea for creating the camera system--the [third-person shooter] style--in BioHazard 4"

And...

Mikami: "Probably if Onimusha 3 had been better, I wouldn't have thought of BioHazard 4"

"For BioHazard 4 (RE4) it came from playing Onimusha 3," he said, remembering that he enjoyed the game but thought it could be better if a few elements were different.

No it was made because I get my fix at Destructoid and not Wikipedia (where truthiness is king).

I even lifted the title from the article:

Resident Evil 4 was good because Onimusha 3 sucked

You got me all figured out alright

[Rombie]

Thats some quality shit grade jorno work there on Destructoid. Yay.

Mikami has spoken.

[Mr. Spencer]

So we have Onimusha 3 to blame?

[Pikminister]

^^^ But just for the over-the-shoulder camera angle.

Catering to twitch gamers is something Mikami will blame on another one of his games.

Stay tuned (and you too, Prime "I always shoot the messenger" Blue).

When you're writing a sensationalist thread title with an implied quote, it's usually good etiquette to check if the person really said it and if you're not just pulling it out of your ass...

The lurking grouch strikes again. And wouldn't you know it? It comes with etiquette tips.

Okay "USER", how about you simmer the FUDGE down.

I already explained that I merely did a copy-and-paste job. Right down to mimicking the title of the article I used as a source. Just trying to report it as I saw it.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

P.S. (Gee, the weather is kind of weird lately... maybe it is affecting people's moods).



EDITED POST - Whew!

[Mr. Spencer]

Isn't Prime Blue a female?

[Pikminister]

Isn't Prime Blue a female?

Really?

Oops!

Ahem... Now I feel bad.

But she did set the tune for the dance. And I danced accordingly to that tune.

Oh boy....

I think the argument here is pointless no need to lose your cool @Prime Blue Pikminster just copied the title of the article which the title misinterprets Mikami and made the title to spice up the article and no need to go claiming that either person has sticks in the buttocks

The third person view in RE4 wasn't a problem for me, it was a welcome change that allowed for precision aiming. It's just mostly everything else that's wrong with the game.

[Smiley]

Back in 2005 the idea of having the camera over the shoulder as you aim and shoot was nothing short of brilliant game play.

Flash forward to 2011 where video games are dominated by this mechanic, and I start to miss the camera angles just a little bit more...

[ResiDino]

So I guess Onimusha 3 is the REAL reason for Mikami deforming and changing the Resident Evil world.... If you think about it. In Mikami's mind,

1. Onimusha 3 is not good enough
2. RE4 comes out to make up for this
3. The new style of RE4 turns off the harccore fans.
