Mikami: “I won’t play Resi 5″

residentevil525.jpg

Speaking in the latest issue of the Official PS Mag, Res Evil originator Shinji Mikami’s admitted that he’s unlikely to play the game’s fifth instalment.

“I probably won’t play it,” he said. “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.”

Do not make him angry.
