Resident Evil creator and former Capcom producer Shinji Mikami plans to form a studio of his own following the completion of Platinum Games’ third-person shooter Vanquish. Called Tango, the studio will be based in Tokyo, offering opportunities in game development to young talent. Or in other words, “people who haven’t gone pro yet.” Mikami explains in a recent interview with Famitsu, transcribed by 1UP:

One of the reasons I’m building a company is to raise the game makers of the future, people who haven’t gone pro yet. Game development is often overseen from a pure business perspective here, which is unique to Japan, and I have the impression that environment tends to prune away young talent. I really want to make Tango a company run from a creator’s perspective, one that expands upon new talent.

Mikami has yet to decide on what the studio’s first project will entail. Always the visionary, the prospect of creating a horror game in stereo 3D interests him. However, it’ll be awhile before anything of that sort is moved off the drawing board, as the market for a big-budget 3D effort isn’t there yet and likely won’t be until capable TV sets fall in price.
