RE game designer wants a horror game in 3D
3D is steadily making its way into gaming right now, with more and more games coming with some form of 3D support. For Resident Evil game designer Shinji Mikami, that’d be great news since he’d finally be able to make the 3D horror game he’s always wanted.

“When it comes to my personal desires, I’d like to make a true-3D horror game, something where you’d use glasses like in the Avatar film,” Mikami told Famitsu. “It’s been my goal since the original Resident Evil to be the first in the industry to make a 3D game. There needs to be a large 3D television-owning userbase before that can happen, but I always like trying out new things first.”
While Resident Evil 5 has already taken a step in that direction for the PC, it seems he wants to take it to the consoles. With a PS3 3D firmware update in the future, he’ll have a bigger opportunity to do so. For now, he’s busy setting up Tango, his own development studio.
