Shinji Mikami

Gamers hoping that Capcom eventually gives Resident Evil 4 the REmake treatment hopes that company does a great job improving on it, and this includes long-time series director, and founder of Tango Gameworks (Ghostwire Tokyo), Shinji Mikami.

In an interview with VG24/7, Mikami agreed with fans about wanting a Resident Evil 4 remake, though under the prospect that the team improves on the original, and hoping his former employer Capcom is up to the challenge.

 “It would be great if Capcom could do a great job and make the story better, and put out a good product.”

Originally released in January 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, RE4 was Mikami’s last Resident Evil game in the director’s chair. The game departed from traditional survival horror gameplay and focused more on becoming an action shooter, though even it with the shake up in core gameplay, it became one of the most critically acclaimed video games of all-time. Not long after the release of some sequels and spin-offs, Mikami would depart from Capcom and work with Platinum Games for a couple of projects before eventually forming Tango Gameworks, who became a part of Zenimax the same year and are now under the Microsoft umbrella with last year’s buyout.

Despite having his hands full and stepping back from directing duties for his upcoming new game,?Ghostwire: Tokyo, Mikami has expressed that he would like to direct at least one more game in the future. Only time will tell what that is, but for now check out these new gameplay videos and screenshots from the Ghostwire: Tokyo preview event here.
