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.

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?

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.

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...
