Why did Mikami hate PS2?

>> No.10260738

I dunno but Mikami seemed to not like Sony much.
Same with Kamiya, same with Itagaki and other japanese devs.
Fastfowarding to current year, Sony turned out to be a very shitty company, so maybe they knew stuff we didn't at the time.

Developing on the PS2 for a year then getting the Xbox and Gamecube dev kits and realizing the PS2 was a hot mess to develop for and was merely a hype beast rolling over the corpse of Sega and the rapidly withering Nintendo. ie they had largely reversed course on what made the PS1 so successful.

Sony basically did the same thing with PS3 but by this time video game development was so expensive it was extremely difficult to pump out mid/high budget games exclusively for a console, so logically the bespoke platforms would suffer greatly.

their PS2 output was extremely mixed, plenty B-grade tiers. they made Capcom 5 for GC and all of it flopped but RE4.
it's a miracle those retards still have a company despite fucking every single thing every gen.

Sony weren't a game company and had little interest in games at the time. Game industry veterans looked down on them and saw them as a gigacorp trying to pump and dump their industry for a quick buck. Took a while for Sony to build up trust

He is a talentless hack so he thought that releasing his games exclusively on a system without good games could make up for it. He was wrong.

Mega Man 2 and 3 aren't even the best Mega Man games, there were a few blunders but aside from them, Mega Man (especially classic and Zero) is the best handled CAPCOM series.

the industry learned a lesson that generation: even if you support nintendo, the fans have generational trauma and never forget the past. once a "betrayer" always a "betrayer."

Shitty to develop for, and the high failure rates led him to believe Sony weren't worth it despite the install base. Nintendo seemed like the only logical option to him since they were Japanese and at least the system was far less prone to failures. Xbox was almost considered to jump to but the meeting they scheduled fell through because Americans and their need to be tardy.
>>10260756
>Why do you say he hated the PS2?
Because he openly did
>Just bc RE4 was a timed exclusive for the GC?
Because he didn't want RE4 on the PS2 to begin with until Capcom forced it on him.

Everybody bought a switch because Nintendo buckled and the switch turned into the #1 3rd party developer console. You can play Skyrim and outer worlds on the switch plus for those with nintenditis, you can buy all the old games you "love" for a small subscription service. That way you can be le retro while you eat the bugs.

On Playstation alone, RE1 sold 5m, 2 did 6m, and 3 was around 3.5m.
