This thread has been linked to the game 'Resident Evil 4'.
The Capcom guru has left the Resident Evil project in protest for the recent PS2 announcement.
Mikami claims he'll have "nothing to do" with the PS2 version of Resident Evil 4. And it looks likely this maybe the finale in the series.
Since new management has taken hold at Capcom the developers have lost their voice. The developers are keen to support the Gamecube exclusively but new management has pressured the developers to porting the popular Gamecube titles such as Viewtiful Joe and the upcoming Killer 7 to the PS2.
Resident Evil 4 looks to be the final straw meanwhile as many of the Production Studio 4 design team are set to leave.
That, my friends, is dedication to a cause.

Has he gone so far as to leave Capcom?
We know has much that he can't stand the PS2 hardware (although perhaps he'd get along alright now if he gave it another chance) and that he's made all of his games with the Gamecube in mind, but why doesn't he tell his bosses that they can convert it if they want, but he's not going to do it?
Perhaps he feels that his creation is violated by being put down to PS2 standards. And he did sort of want all the games on one console.
Having said that, when you include the PSOne originals, the PS2 has them all except 0...

Will they start a new company of their own?
That would be nice.
Or Nintendo could offer to 'buy' them and keep Production Studio 4 as a 1st party developer.

Good for Mikami I say. As WS said, I hope Mikami and the others would set up a new company of their own. I can't think they'd bow out of video gaming altogether.
And the end of the Resident Evil series.. Wow. Couldn't Capcom carry it on with crappy side-titles like the lates non-Mikami-made spinoffs that're out on the PS2?

Would be nice if Mikami and other dedicated programers would setup their own unit, or become part of Nintendo. That wouldnt give them Resident Evil though, as Capcom would still own the rights to it, but it would be nice to see them doing something that they wanted to do. However, I think that Capcom will get Mikami back and they will settle half way and come to some agreement. I wouldnt want to see Resident Evil gone forever, or be reduced to a lower standard, in which case they might aswell not bother at all.
"Guru"
Heh.
Heh.

Lost cause?
More like the anti-PS2 cause.

A lost cause? Do you even know what I meant?
Capcom directors hate the X-box, they really do. Both them and the developers.
The developers like the Gamecube.
The management like the PS2 because of the money.
The cause I am referring to is developers actually getting to do what they want.
Mikami is constantly hounded at Capcom, it is about time he started his own studio for unique games (Production Studio 4 won't part from Capcom)...
At least that way we'd get what HE wants, his visions...
The old management were better, they rarely influenced his decisions.

I get the feeling you have no idea what you are talking about.
