Resident Evil may be seeing its end soon due to Mikami leaving Capcom. Find out the details inside.
Rumours have been floating around the internet since the Resident Evil 4 being ported to PS2 story was announced and now it seems that Syobo Online have the official word.
"First off, the breaking of exclusivity in this case was not because of user demand, but a plan to boost the stock price, as some already understood, but it seems like there has been confrontation between the developers and the management who are following shareholders' instructions. Capcom nowadays is different to when Okamoto worked there, the development team's voice seems weaker than before. It also looks like a lot of skilled staff will leave the company after the GC version of 4 is finished. But the people behind this rebellion are the developers, and they ask that you don't blame Mikami or Kobayashi. The GC version of 4 is the last one that Mikami will be involved in, the PS2 version will be passed on to someone else. People who used to work at Capcom are also shocked by this news."
So it seems that Resident Evil may be ending with the forth edition. However Resident Evil 4 will finish up the T-virus and Umbrella story that has stretched back to the original title.
