Shinji Mikami talks about how he doesn't like the direction the series has gone in, and calls the recent entries "more like a Hollywood action film than a zombie game." He also expresses his disappointment that the series has continued without him.

I think he is just jealous, because he isn't involved in the development anymore.

I think he's right, though ironically his own departure via biohazard 4 is what started it all. Personally I'm very excited to see what Shinji does with ZWEI, the proof is in the pudding after all.

Mikami is a total hypocrite lol. RE5 and 6 are following in the footsteps of RE4 which marked the end of survival horror in the RE series.

Didn't he piss and moan to a similar tone just before Resident Evil 5's release as well? Like Necro says, he's the one that started the series down this path and then walked away.

Mikami is overrated and gets credit for shit he had no real part in, don't really care what he has to say.

Are you guys fucking crazy? Resident Evil 4 influenced 5 and the upcoming 6, but in no way does the series have the same pacing and atmosphere like it did under Mikami. It's much more about pizazz now than it was even at the most dramatic parts of RE4.

As far as I'm concerned, he was the series. This next iteration is my personal last chance for interest in one of my favorite game brands ever. I can't stomach another 5.

It's sad but RE fans either have to adapt to this so called "dynamic horror", or give up following a series they grew attached to.

:mikami: Guy must not have been that bad. Had to have had SOME influence to get a cool Biohaze avatar! :)

But in all seriousness, I am not too familiar with his "repertoire" but he created Resident Evil and helped to define survival horror, didn't he? I mean, he can bitch and moan about his disapproval- but after he left- it's no longer his true creation.
