Ex-Clover devs working on Resident Evil 5

Devs of the now defunct Clover Studio (makers of Okami) have been given new assignments by parent company Capcom.

CVG reports that the devs were assigned to work on Resident Evil 5 with Jun Takeuchi and Keiji Inafune‘s Wii project. Some regret was expressed over the exit of three Clover veterans: Shinji Mikami, Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya. The trio left Capcom to do their own thing and formed an independent studio of their own called Seeds.

The rest of the Clover team were assimilated by the game development giant’s dev talent pool. The move wouldn’t affect the games in development so much since Capcom doesn’t have strict rules regarding their dev teams. According to Charles Bellfield, Capcom’s vice president of marketing, “everybody does work on a variety of content and games at Capcom.”

Well, there we have it. Some people have some concerns regarding the new Resident Evil since Shinji Mikami is not on the driver’s seat anymore. We’ll have to wait and see.
