Resident Evil’s Creator Visits Bokeh Game Studio

Yeah, although Barry Allen's mom is no longer with us.

I know most people knows Toyama through the OG Silent Hill, but I wish Siren & Gravity Rush can get more love. I freaking love those games.

Both PS2 Sirens are so messed up in the best way posible, there's just nothing like them.

[@MaxDragonification]

I've heard of Gravity Rush, never realized that it was Toyama's. I really want to play Silent Hill in the future but getting a PS1 copy is really hard :(

I feel like their personalities reflect their respective series perfectly lol. toyama seems a little more reserved while mikami is more outgoing. SH is a more quiet, psychological horror while RE is visceral and adrenaline inducing

Quite possibly the best gaming interview I ever watched. Insightful and emotional. So wholesome to see the respect and recognition Mikami has for Toyama's unique horror creations. Two legends.

[@BokehGameStudio]

Highest praise we could get :)

[@senormarston]

The way Mikami put his thoughts in words and how he openly talks about the difference between making a game as a producer and as a creator just show us how experienced and really sharp game dev he is. Dude is a natural, I can see why he has so many achievements under his belt

Nice conversation. - I love that you guys started your own studios, like Tango, Bokeh, Kojima, Striking Distance, Inflexion, Archetype, and so forth. - It's the right way to go and it allows for more unique projects to happen, rather than working for corporations that are afraid to step outside formulas because they want to guarantee sales. - So please remain as independent or autonomous as possible and you'll probably always be noticed when you stay genuine. - I'm looking forward to your upcoming games and I will even go back to the older ones mention in this video. - Thanks for all the entertainment and inspiration.

[@foristrothbert568]

It's just great to hear two of gaming's greatest creators just talking about their lives and their craft. These two men have forgotten more about making video games than most will ever learn, and there's not a hint of pretension to either of them. It's so utterly refreshing to hear not just game creators, but ARTISTS, talk about art and not once bring up politics, The Message, or any agenda of any stripe - just video games from start to finish.

[@calistusjay60]

It doesnt matter what Toyama does, it is always something unique and worth watching or playing. Be it Silent Hill, Siren , Graviy Rush or the projects he worked on, this man is a creative machine. Claps and thanks for master Mikami too for creating such works and games aswell.

[@Sam1992Fisher]

As a lifetime RE fan, this was incredible to watch. Two amazing and talented people sharing passion and love for games they crated...Please do more of these....🍻

[@azunahexan.2539]

It is really crazy how those past videos made me feel. While watching I tend to get absorbed by the atmosphere, diving deep into the conversations and the ideas, almost getting lost in them. I truly believe that Bokeh Game Studios will be able to create something unique, speaking to the player on different level. I can't wait to be allowed to experience the creativity and commitment put into the project. I will surely be blown away.

[@jamesmcgeachie]

Mikami-san really is the greatest of all time. The depth of thought and attention to detail for the game design is truly reflected in his works.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Mikami-san pouring his hearts out talking about his previous games. The tug & pull between the creator and the producer in him calls back to the other 2 parts documentaries (I know who made ALL these~), and it's something I truly respect. Mikami-san puts it well at the end. RE, SH and Siren are all horrors of its own. It is a testament of the possibilities of the 'genre', or better put, this Emotion can bring.

This interview (or more preferably "dialog") is very inspiring. There are not much western companies left who are using director-oriented approach.

On the opposite side, we all know: Keiichiro Toyama, Shinji Mikami, Yoko Taro, Fumito Ueda, Hideo Kojima, Goichi Suda, Toshihiro Nagoshi Hideaki Itsuno, Hidetaka Miyazaki and many many more. Japanese game dev was and remain my biggest stronghold and hope in this terms. Thank you and Keep it up!
