Shinji Mikami is one of the greatest developers that games have so far seen. He spent his early years at Capcom and, among many other games, created the Resident Evil series, returning to direct the standout Resident Evil 4, before becoming a key member of the legendary Clover Studio. He and others left Capcom to co-found PlatinumGames, with Mikami always of the mind that he would direct one major title at the company and help it get established, before leaving to set up on his own.
There's a thread running through Mikami's career of training up the next generation. Among his notable proteges over the years have been Hideki Kamiya, Shu Takumi, John Johanas, and Ikumi Nakamura. Mikami's goal with Tango Gameworks was to direct an initial title, The Evil Within, before moving to a supervisory role and letting the studio's younger talent take the reins .
Barring a documentary a few years ago, Mikami tends to keep himself to himself, and this pronouncement isn't exactly verbose: There will always be that sadness about the story of Tango, because it doesn't feel like a studio that did anything particularly wrong, and had plenty left to give. It was a studio of talent and pedigree, a legacy from one of the greatest designers games have seen, and now all the people that made it what it was are scattered to the wind. On a selfish level, I'm gutted there will be no The Evil Within 3.
