Takeuchi: I won’t be involved in Resident Evil 6
Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi is not too keen getting on board the Resident Evil 6 wagon, or anymore new projects for the franchise. At least “until at least two more Olympics have passed”, to be exact.

Talking to Xbox World 360 magazine, the famed Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2 producer conceded that he felt “extreme pressure” following in the footsteps of RE4 creator, Shinji Mikami.
“Yes, it’s true we did feel extreme pressure – and Mikami’san’s shadow – after Resi 4. However, because we were creating the sequel to this huge franchise we wanted to make our fresh direction clear.”
Resident Evil 5 turned out alright, as we all saw. This, however, is not enough a deciding factor for him to return for the next one. “Personally, I don’t think I’m gonna deal with Resident Evil 6 at all – as far as the series is concerned I’m not planning to return until at least two more Olympics have passed!”
That’s a long while to be resting from the series, but hey, maybe when he decides to come back, he’ll make an even better contribution to the franchise. If it’s still alive by that time, that is.
