It's supposed to be multiplayer... I laughed so hard at this after reading the interview yesterday. Resident Evil slowly began to die after 2 & 3... this could be the final bullet. The final bullet was RE4. After Mikami left the company, there was no reason to be even excited about RE5. Not to mention that he finally have his own studio, Tango. http://tangogameworks.com/I'm very excited about what this guys can do, since they can easily be the "new Platinum Games". Time will tell. About Inafune, I don't think that he's going to work in Platinum Games. Maybe with his name alone he can make his own studio, that would be great for him.

More news: Mega Man Creator's Blog erased.Also... At least the breath of fire people are still there and that is the most important thing. Is Makoto Ikehara still at Capcom? He hasn't worked on anything for years now. He did scenario writing for both Lost Planet and Dead Rising four years ago, but he isn't involved with either of the sequels. He be gone too and no one would even know. I found this on GAF. Is pretty weird seeing Capcom with a lot of the people that made the company famous gone, at least some of those people is making what they really want now (I hope).

I read the report that President of Square Enix told the developers to stop making the games that they want to make and they should make the games for masses. If it's pretty accurate, that may explain the poor reception that FFXIII and XIV received. I wouldn't be surprised at this. Ha... believe me, the current state of the company is much more complex than just that. Wasn't FFVII targeted at FPS crowd? That's why it was so popular when it came out. Maybe you are thinking in Final Fantasy XIII. I remember that Yoichi Wada said something like that.

Is this Devil May Cry 5 or is this a spin-off subseries?
This is neither DmC 5 nor a spin off. It is a retelling of Dante’s origin story. Now I understand. This game is basically Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, a reimagining of the original game for people who doesn't know or care or haven't played the previous games of the series (in other words, an easy way too make money). That means that I no longer care about this game! Ninja Gaiden 3 here I come!!

Resident Evil 5 Producer promoted to Corporate Officer.In an unrelated interview conducted by Capcom, Takeuchi discussed his thoughts on managing human resources and leading a development team.
"When it comes down to it, the key concept is being 'globally minded'. It's important not only to pay attention to the market here in Japan, but develop human resources that are capable of staying in tune with developments abroad, as well as using English fluently. Ten years ago, the Japanese market was large enough that we didn't need to worry about focusing on what was happening outside the country. But things have changed, and now it is important for us to consider how to develop the Japanese market in a way that enables us to secure a share of the Western market. To adapt to the recent changes in the gaming market, we must pay attention to developments in Japan and the West. We can’t understand how these markets are different unless we know what is going on in both. Capcom will be a stronger company if each developer fully understands what gamers in the market expect and demand.
Capcom has a lot of great things in store for the future. We're always pushing ourselves, remaining true to the slogan that "if you stop, it’s game over".

didn't they made X-2 because many fans didn't like the ending of FFX? Yes, the same happen with Persona 3 in Japan (true story). About X-2, the end credits of the game said that the game is "by fans, for fans" if I remember correctly. This is the kind of game you play at least two times and later you move on with something better. The battle system is the only real reason to give the game a chance.
