Shinji Mikami – 2000 Developer Interview
Added 2022-03-27 03:44:32 +0000 UTChttps://shmuplations.com/shinjimikami/
This interview with legendary Capcom creator Shinji Mikami originally appeared in the book "Capcom Denshi no Moushatachi" published in 2000. The free-wheeling conversation explores the contrast between Mikami's approach to game design and that of Capcom veteran Yoshiki Okamoto, and also looks at marketing challenges and Mikami's conflicted feelings about his new role as a producer.
I originally chose this one because patrons had requested Resident Evil, but as I translated it, I realized it mostly focuses on Mikami's career and ideas more generally--so there will be more Resident Evil material in the future!
Comments
I hope we do get more Resident Evil interviews, just hope it's the ones that the translators haven't translated, yet. Keep it up! Should I try voting for Parasite Eve interviews? It's funny how people complained about the tank controls being difficult, and yet they enjoyed playing the games. It's really about getting use to playing the gameplay system, so there's no reason to just give up because there are people feeling uncomfortable about playing the tank controls at first. Give it time to adjust, rather than just altering it, I would say.
