Capcom: We made sure Raccoon City dev 'got' Resident Evil
Producer says he's "completely changed" his perception of Western devs
Capcom says it made sure Western developer Slant Six 'got' the foundation of Resident Evil before entrusting the studio with the famous survival horror series.
Speaking in an interview with OXM, Japanese Operation Raccoon City producer Masachika Kawata said the SOCOM studio's hard work has completely changed his perception of Western game developers.
"I must say that I love the challenge of working with a western developer, Slant Six especially. Resident Evil is very unique to Capcom, we've got lots of people working on that particular franchise," he said.
"If we're going to start working with anybody outside of Capcom, Japanese developers as well, we run the risk of losing those particular elements. Therefore, the first thing we did was pass on the foundation of the Resident Evil history, and we made sure that Slant Six 'got' it - and I'm happy with the results."
Kawata admitted to certain preconceptions of the western work ethic, and said he was pleasantly surprised by his experiences at the house of SOCOM.
"I've never worked with any Western developers besides Slant Six, and I don't know if the same is true of other Western developers, but they work very hard," he told OXM.
"I didn't find any differences to any of the Japanese developers I've worked with before. Besides the time zone and language, I've had no problems working with them at all.
"To be honest, I had my own impression about Western people - being laid back and sitting on sofas, but even yesterday they came in early, on a Sunday, and gave us all sorts of recommendations. They wanted to do it, rather than being dragged out of bed if you like. So they've completely changed my perception about working with Western developers."
Operation Raccoon City was announced last week and will see the Resident Evil series presented in a more shooter-oriented action game.

Liebe die Reihe seit dem ersten Teil, hatte auch mit diesem direkt zum Release '96 angefangen und fand eigentlich alle Stilrichtungen bisher gut. Obwohl Gun Survivor schon etwas lieblos war.
Der Teaser ist allerdings wirklich keine Granate, dennoch warte ich gerne noch etwas ab ^^
offensichtlicher Turningpoint am ende,aber das sieht zu schnell aus :<
