Mikami has to be at least number 2 after Shigeru in terms of most legendary video game developers.Only Yu Suzuki comes close but imo he's more like 4th place (3rd is Horii)Anyway, favorite Mikami game?As much as I love God Hand, RE4 is still the GOAT.
>>12057726Todd Howard and Gabe Newell are definitely more iconic than most of those Japs.
>>12057735lmao
>>12057736Romero and Carmack as well
Did he do actual game design and shit? After it turned out he did jackshit in RE1, one can't be sure these days.
>>12057748>t. Romero's bitch
>>12057726god hand is the funniest game ever made so that it also feels like heaven once you get good at it
>>12057735True, except Miyamoto of course
>>12057749>After it turned out he did jackshit in RE1He fought with the the game's writer, that's gotta count for something. Mikami wanted a mad scientist final boss and a cyborg with Hulk proportions, which in retrospect is very mid 90's Capcom.
>>12057726He's on the top of my 4 favorite japanese game directors along with Tomonobu Itagaki, Hideki Kamiya and Hideo Kojima.>favorite Mikami game?That's a hard question. My favorite games of his are God Hand, RE4, Vanquish and The Evil Within.So instead of answering it, I'll show the other anons this trailer and tell them: PLAY VANQUISH.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYuw9AXvkQAand the rest of the games mentioned.You're welcome.
Mikami is a hack, which seems to be a common thing in Capcom. All the important work is made by shy people behind the scenes.
>>12057726Mikami is a hack and RE would have sucked ass if Kenichi Iwao didn't step in to fix the whole thing
>>12058594Did you beat Vanquish on God Hard too?
>>12057726Iwata was a better programmer, a better businessman and a better person than any of the bums you mentioned, including that overrated egomaniac Miyamoto.
>>12057735>>12057748LOL. LMAO even.Never change /vr/.
>>12057749I'm starting to wonder how much he had to do with RE4 desu. You watch the old trailers and stuff and all the core gameplay elements are there long before he ever got involved. He was too busy making retarded media statements and working on trash like PN03 at the time.
>>12060245Yokoi or bust, but iowata is another good underdog.
>>12060483He had enough to do with it that they let him make God Hand knowing it would make zero money afterwards.
Wanted to remove everything good from resident evil 1.Took credit for doing nothing on resident evil 2.Didn't even make/design the nemesis in 3.Made a really boring dino game.Took already made stuff and added slight changes while taking credit for resident evil 4.Went independant and made a worse resident evil 4.Truly a genius.
>>12057726Why did he shit himself in rage so hard after the Capcom 5 fiasco? Of course the games were going to be ported, the PS2 was way bigger than the gamecube.
It's a work of art
>>12058620Oh wow, I didn't know Shinji Mikami singlehandedly made Rockman!
>>12057748one hit wonders
>>12060958I always heard he didn't actually do anything on this game other than swing his dick around to make sure capcom didn't stop Suda from doing whatever he wanted. Which is extremely based, honestly, and he definitely earned a credit for that.
