>Director is a faggot

Get a life.

This exact same thing has happened in the past. Mikami lets another new-comer direct a sequel and it takes a nose dive.

Many people don't know, Resident Evil 2 was a shit show under Kamiya's supervision, it was basically Mikami who stepped in and told the crew to scrap the whole game and begin anew and it was basically all Mikami by that point but Kamiya got the director credit anyways. Same thing here except Mikami doesn't care about directing horror games anymore.

I mean The Evil Within 1 was a lot like RE6; there was some potential there, but it all just falls apart somewhere in the middle

>>386148637
did this game always have zombies? Or did whatever cause those scary things in the first game bring upon the zombies?

OP is a faggot.

interesting

the ''official'' story is the other way around, of course, but it always struck me as odd that he supposedly was unable to find his bearings with RE2, since he was such an immense creative force with games like Dino Crisis, REmake, RE4, God Hand and whatnot

They're both a mess of ideas thrown together really. Mikami basically let his team throw in anything that they thought was scary and called it good. The game has no actual direction in terms of horror which is why I don't care about Mikami working on the sequel or not. He was always the gameplay guy to me.

If you look through Shinji's history, you'll notice he's only officially directed one sequel in his entire career which was RE4. He has always struck me as a creative force as you say, and because of his nature doesn't seem to want to direct the same type of game over and over again. Evil Within would've been a coop space adventure game if Bethesda didn't force him to scrap the project and turn it into a survival horror game.

From everything I've read, it seems the decision by Bethesda to force him to make another survival horror game crushed him and If I remember correctly he didn't even get that much involved into the development of EW until more than halfway through.

It's unfortunate, but it would seem Shinji is getting less and less involved since he founded Tango, and is instead focusing on finding talent and let them take over.


He's a pretty good article about the rocky development process behind EW and the studio if you're interested.

Maybe Mikami shouldn't have been a dumbass and tried to forge his own studio? He should have stayed at Platinum.

Maps are kinda necessary for games with backtracking in mind like a lot of classic horror games. No maps might as well be a sign of linear, cinematic gameplay but I'm not judging yet.

>>386155351
Look at game like Dark Souls. Love it or hate it, those games are massive, sprawling worlds that benefit greatly from the lack of a map.

Having to memorize maps is one of my favorite things in any game, period

>>386155280
Like I said, from what I know about the guy, these days he's less invested in directing games, and is much more involved with finding and recruiting talent. Something he wouldn't be able to do at Platinum.
