Resident Evil 2 Director Hideki Kamiya Says Capcom Has Grown 'Numb' To How Scary New RE Games Are
Hideki Kamiya has confirmed that he was “not joking” when he begged Capcom to make a less-scary version of Resident Evil Requiem for the faint of heart, even arguing that the company has become "numb" to how frightening the newer games have gotten.
Capcom's Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya has expressed his frustration with how scary the new Resident Evil games have become. During an interview, Kamiya revealed that he had pleaded with Capcom to create a less frightening version of Resident Evil Requiem for players who struggle with horror. He even went as far as suggesting an alternate mode where zombies appeared cute, blood splatters transformed into cherry blossoms, and the music shifted to an upbeat tune.
Kamiya reiterated his serious request, stating that Capcom's Resident Evil games have become too intense, and the developers seem unaware of how frightening their creations are. The director even joked about creating a spin-off game where Leon Kennedy enjoys a peaceful retirement, enjoying activities such as fishing, baking, and walking his dog.
However, it appears that Capcom is not considering Kamiya's suggestions, as a remake of Code Veronica with its intense zombie combat is set to release next year.
