Kamiya passing out is absolutely great :D

Shinji Mikami is a genius

[@TheAngelThatCry]

I love how kamiya is just collapse on the background

[@tomdoughty1577]

Just stumbled upon this and honestly, I think there should be more game interviews like this. There should be more anniversary interviews for classic games. Also pretty trashed that Kamiya fell asleep, but I hope he had a great night. What a brilliant interview

[@GoldenHeartNecklace]

All game developers interviews should be like this.

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

Yeah getting drunk and talk shit all the way through... You're such an clueless idiot.

[@AltairEgo1]

@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 You must be fun at parties.

[@samuraispiritsx]

5:32 "I want to release quality for the next generations" Boy, did he do that. Bio rebirth & Bio4 are the perfect games. It was so exciting to be a fan of this series back in the day. :(

[@symphony137]

What's rebirth? Do you mean the remake? Never heard of it being called rebirth.

[@sudacagamer]

@@symphony137 Japanese used to call remakes/reboots rebirths. Castlevania Rebirth, Contra Rebirth, Gradius Rebirth for instance.

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

And after that everything went to shit. From inovative cimenatic masterpieces, legendary games to a pile of toxic dogshit driven into irrelevancy. Just an example how people who run their companies don't know jack shit about even a slightest what they have in their hands.

[@GianV.Valois]

LOL Kamiya passing out so that he can avoid talking about RE2's development process.

[@ngomez0077]

Kamiya's probably the only reason I wanted to watch this, and he's dead asleep by the time it's his time to shine. Damn it.

[@navylaks2]

I agree in terms of Horror atmosphere Resident Evil 2 is still the best:)

[@Mr_x_19922]

They are all a group of genius and deserve my respect! thanks a lot guys

[@renedeutschmann2000]

SHINJI MIKAMI. The father of Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) was the hero of my childhood! He rocks!!

[@Alexvazquez19z]

The father of the survival horrors

[@Clarensee]

He may wear leather and a cap and try to be all rockstar, but I still see those neeeerdy as heck eyes on him. =)

[@LfunkeyA]

i wish there was an indepth interview like this about RE4

[@Cheeks730]

you and both

[@BiblicalllyAccurateAngel]

There's a 10min making of. It's not the same thing though but it's interesting

[@DiegoSakazaki]

Wow! Now have portuguese subtitles!!!

[@LucaBlight25]

I think in Japan, games industry is a cutthroat business. When Kamiya have gone overboard with Bio 1.5 and Mikami had to be brought in to work out the kinks, the 2 may have butted heads during production, which could have been some of the trauma Kamiya brought up here. They could be buddy-buddies and friends outside of work and during instances like this, but when it comes to game development, those 2 may have some battle scars and Kamiya just chose to sleep it off rather than talk about his time during production, especially with Mikami in there

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Fucking legends anyway. Videos like these are precious and will cost money after all of them are gone. This is a close-shave kind of collectors item right here we are able to watch for free !

[@lordt8560]

15:40 He said that to the Guy who made in 1 Year one of the best Remakes and best RE games of all time and made after RE:0 again one of the best RE games of all time or even in general.

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

Zero was a rushed project and Mikami said he hated it since none of his initial ideas came through instead some idiots. In RE1 Remake Rebecca was a rookie and useless person while in Zero she is capping BOWs like a boss. Mikami addressed this it's all because the suits wanted to make her the main character probably to please teens and other forever virgin fuckups. His original script was meant to cover the stories of all the team members and Rebecca was just meant to be a side character. Sort of like Sherry in RE2. Where you get to play with her char for a brief time in a more safe environment while others are watching over her. The final game is a night and day in comparison and have lots of plotholes so as questionable outcomes. If anything RE1 was a great entry and innovation while RE2, RE3, RE1 Remake and lastly RE4 were the best in the series the rest is not even worth mentioning since it's a butchered mess with just slapped RE title on it to milk the name of the franchise to death.

[@aleisinwndrlen7113]

@@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 Oh wow. I mean, I knew from the get-go that Zero feels rushed (obviously to ride the hype train of REmake), but darn, I never knew that Mikami originally wanted the game to feature _all_ of the Bravo team instead of just ol' Becky and Billy. Must've sucked big-time for him. What a shame, man, because RE0 is a game that could; it's a game that should; but unfortunately, it's a game that just didn't.

[@ventasocr]

I miss these guys, i think they're the only ones who understand Resident Evil for me, it's not that the newer games are bad not at all, but they kinda miss the RE feel that the older/original games had, i wish Capcom would hire them someday to make a new entry with the people that created it.

[@gigamear]

2 points: I think Kamiya just didn't want to talk about 1.5 and 2 - he heard everything, but wanted no part of that discussion. Notice the tension in the room when 1.5's reboot is brought up. Also, Mikami's face when asked if 3 was a betrayal to the series says everything. Dude genuinely looks like he's about to cry.

[@Clarensee]

Thanks for uploading and, of course, for translating!

[@BloodyBrawler92]

The real gentlemen of Resident Evil/Biohazard, as far as I'm concerned. Their hard work, dedication and incorporated ingenuity payed off remarkably in the first three games. Some of the best, and scariest gameplay experiences I've ever had, not to mention challenging too! After their string of success, they top it with the release of the RE1 remake. What a refreshing masterpiece that was, and still is. It's a real shame some bad blood had risen between Capcom and Shinji Mikami. Wasn't fair for his ideas to start getting marginalised, and to go against his porting wishes regarding RE4. RE4 was the last acceptable Resident Evil for me, but I would've relished the idea of the initial 3.5 approach being finalised. It's a shame things had to end on unfriendly terms, but it's good to see Shinji has moved on, and doing well at his own company, Tango Gamerworks. I still believe Resident Evil needs him back though.

[@leonkenedy2988]

I feel sorry for Hideaki since he was the one responsible for RE 1.5 developement and got himself wasted so he wouldnt talk have to talk about it. Because I am sure that he wanted that memory to be forgotten and like Shinji have already said "This one didnt listen to me."

[@ProjectumbrellaNet]

Yup! Might take a little while, but it will be done.

[@BigSparky1316]

😂😂 They legit have to be the coolest game creators ever. It's funny they're speaking about the Graphics but back in those days it was state of the art stuff and scary as hell! Man it's crazy seeing Makami so torn... I wish he'd come back for a couple more. They really sounded like they didn't like 2 and 3 at some points lol. 3 is my absolute favorite ever.

[@navylaks2]

ahh a Secure Place love that theme from RE2 Hideki Kamiya you are a genius;) And would love to meet you one day:)

[@captainjaber5610]

Kamiya's taste of horror is better than that of even Mikami's. RE2 was the game that truly revolutionized survival horror.

[@joerhodes3219]

Uh no? RE1 did that, it was a huge game you know.. RE2 didn't really do many new things, more or less just fine tuned them

[@gizelbelcoot]

And in interviews its clear that final call was of Mikami, and Kamiya messed up with 1.5 and it was Mikami leadership that convinced Capcom to push it for RE2 Capcom would have never let types of Kamiya to direct RE2 or scrap re 1.5 bleeding money

[@davetorres3906]

Absolutely, and Mikami was the one that hired kamiya to work in his team in first place, i'm glad that Mikami's vision on the sequel prevailed

[@d-d-i]

After all these years, those little things Mikami told about the base designs in Resident Evil games, are still correct. Even in the RE2 Remake without his involvement, Mikami's design language of the game series still shows. His ideas have been way ahead of it's time, but as a director, his output has varied in terms of quality. When he was discussing RE3's design here, he had laid out a fantastic, realistic scenario and setting for the game, yet, they were unable to make those designs true due the fact that they had limited hardware and it would have been too radical departure from the original trilogy sales wise. I really hope that RE3's Remake will take those design elements and put them in the game, because now it's the perfect time to make them.

[@aleisinwndrlen7113]

Aaandd they cocked-up RE3 remake.

To be honest even better because in his later interviews he talked about that game like he didn't even worked on it. He is either senile or a kissass to others who worked on other RE games after that especially he kissassed the remakes even tho they flopped big time and had zero connections to the originals.

"I want to keep my stance as a sane creator." And as soon as Capcom forced Mikami out, the series got all fucking crazy and stupid, and not in the good "outrageously Biohazard" way of games past.

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

The craziness and idiocy in production already was happening while he was around. That is why he left in the first place. Zero is pretty much a good example where what went wrong. He got a lead yet some other idiots were in charge and the final game is a mess. Still agree that is far better from anything else released by the idiots after Mikami left.

[@v-trigger6137]

he left Capcom because he was disgusted from their greediness. RE4 was originally a Gamecube exclusive, capcom had a deal with Nintendo. but they didn't honor it, and just a year later they port RE4 for PS2 (then afterwards Xbox and PC. and they still porting if to this days). but then again, if we see from a business standpoint, then it was probably a fair choice.. Gamecube wasn't a successful console and it was approaching to its dying state... on the other hand PS2 was the best selling console, and so it boost the sales drastically, the game which made total 20 million in a year, gone to make 100 million in a single month

[@v-trigger6137]

@@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 Mikami wasn't even involved in Zero though. both Zero and RE1 remake were on development at the same time, and Mikami was involved in RE1 remake. while Zero was helmed by a completed different set of developers. Zero was bound to be sucked. apparently the people who were working on, weren't even a fan of the survivor horror style games

RE1: Mikami RE2: Kamiya Both Legends. From RE4, RE sucks balls. Survival is the way, not Call of duty with zombies (or werewolves or witches)

[@bemersonbakebarmen]

I think Mikami´s importance in the series as Its "prime creator" is overrated. RE is the child of a lot of people not just one man. I think thats the reason why RE is not what It was, the original people either left or got mixed with new employees after the big succes of RE4. After that game Capcom wouldnt left the chicken of the golden eggs to a bunch of drunks! RE4 was the last great RE because It was made by people who loved the original games. As the ship got crowded the series´s spirit died
