Former Capcom producer and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami has went on record to say that he likely will not play the fifth installment in the RE series. Why? He feels that he personally won’t like it, as per an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine.

I probably won’t play it. I won’t like it, because it’s not going to be the game I would have made. It’ll just cause me stress if I play it. I think it could be fun for gamers to play it, but not for someone who has developed Resident Evil games.

“If I see anything in Resident Evil 5 that isn’t done well, I’ll be angry!

Mikami helmed the RE series for more than a decade, up until the GameCube release of Resident Evil 4. With such deep roots in the series, it’s understandable to see how would be hard for him to play an installment he had no creative control over, even if the game itself is good. Fortunately for us, that’s not an issue.
