Resident Evil Creator Mikami Forms New Studio
What's it all about? Well, Mikami just wants to help the next generation, saying:
One of the reasons I'm building a company is to raise the game makers of the future, people who haven't gone pro yet. Game development is often overseen from a pure business perspective here, which is unique to Japan, and I have the impression that environment tends to prune away young talent. I really want to make Tango a company run from a creator's perspective, one that expands upon new talent.
While no specific project has been announced, Mikami feels like it may take "about three years" before Tango releases its first game. He also hopes that the company, now at 13 employees, will grow to around 100 in three to five years.
Vanquish will be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in late 2010.

replyDidn't he already do this with Clover, Seeds, Straight Story and then Platinum Games?

Maybe tomorrow,
he'll finally settle down.
Until tomorrow,
he'll just keep movin' on. -
He's like a wandering nomad, spreading good fortune wherever he goes, but never staying in a single place for too long.

according to wikipedia, seeds and platinum games are the same company, and straight story is a developer (I guess the one he must be working for now) that works under platinum games. or was absorbed into it at some point. or something.
actually it seems straight story is the company he's collaborating with suda51 on, and vanquish is the game he's doing for platinum games? who fucking knows.
it's real confusing at any rate
