New Jin Takeuchi Interview

[A-J]

Capcom's Investor Relation group have conducted a new interview with Jun Takeuchi, the producer of Resident Evil 5.

He talks about many things in the interview including the Resident Evil movies and his goals and ambitions for Resident Evil 5.

"PR Staff"
There is also the Resident Evil movie series.

"Takeuchi"
Hollywood viewed Resident Evil as a compelling property ripe for development as a movie, so Capcom was approached with this idea. Milla Jovovich starred in the movie series, and to get the same actress to star in every chapter of a film series is quite an accomplishment. That's just another reason Resident Evil is such a marquee franchise.

Thanks to Archelon for the heads up.

That's a good article. Takeuchi-san seems like a very sharp fellow, and I trust his work ethic and devotion to making a great game. Plus, it helps that he didn't have a part in the production of RE4...so I pray that he only imports the gameplay from 4, and skips out on the cliche-filled plot, cringe-inducing dialogue, and superhuman hero characters.

Of real interest is his mentioning of a "(seemingly) hand held camera following the action."

A long, but good read.

[Scott Green]

Isn't he called Jun Takeuchi?

Had to point that out, now on to reading the interview...

[Stars1356]

Since he has worked on RE before, I hope that there is some substance to this game and not just about graphics and action.

Interesting interview, i didn't know that Takeuchi worked on the arcade version of Street Fighter 2

[Petronio]

Useless interview. He said nothing...

Bison confirmed for RE5.

Yeah, M. Bison will be playable at the Mercenaries Mini - game

Useless interview. He said nothing...

Maybe not to you....but some people enjoy hearing the points of view of the games' creators and not simply want confirmation about what will be in the game. I'm sorry...but if they came out and said from start to finish what the game would be like and what would happen, it would be boring as hell since there would be no surprises.

Hearing a little bit from Takeuchi-san was interesting...and from when they started talking about the American movies, I got the feel that they weren't too enthralled or happy with them.

Seriously... what are the new info we can take form this interview? He says what we already know. Good graphics, good visual effects, importance of coop, sales prediction, lot of people working on the project, hollywood interested in RE ecc ecc. Nothing new.

It's kind of like how you posted twice in this thread. You said the first time that it was "[a] useless interview. Nothing new."

Then you posted again to say pretty much the same thing.

In your own words, "Nothing new."

He didn't, and worked on the Super Famicom port of the game from (naturally) the arcade version. Okamoto & co. had completed SFII by the time Takeuchi joined Capcom.

[RetroRain]

Milla Jovovich starred in the movie series, and to get the same actress to star in every chapter of a film series is quite an accomplishment.

It's also a part of the reason why the movies suck.

Don't be a wiseass
