Add to this my general dislike of opera music and it seemed like the Parasite Original Soundtrack was a recipe for disaster.įor the first 43 tracks, it was. It didn't help that I'm not a huge fan of techno, and that I remembered nothing about the music from what little I had played of the game. I had my doubts about this one from the beginning. And then there's the Parasite Eve Original Soundtrack.
There's the SaGa Frontier II Original Soundtrack, which I want to love, but whose repetition just rubs me the wrong way, and there's also the Xenosaga Original Soundtrack, which I liked less than Xenogears' score at first, but which later came to surpass its prequel. I've had some strange love-hate relationships with some of my soundtracks. Parasite Eve Original Soundtrack :: Review by Kero Hazel They were literally a 30 year old concept when RE came out, and are even more annoyingly creatively bankrupt now.Star Ocean The Last Hope Arrange Soundtrack If anything, those original ideas sounded cool. It’s not surprising that initial concepts for a video game’s story and setting got changed by the greater team, but that has nothing to do with gameplay and doesn’t matter (especially since we have no way to know what RE would’ve looked like with cyborgs and ghosts - so it’s impossible to compare). Nobody’s really ever asserted what you’ve been saying. Actually Kamiya has only said extremely positive things about Mikami, on multiple accounts calling him his “master” and owing his career to him. Theres an interview with Hideki Kamiya detailing Mikami’s original vision for RE’s setting and story - but nothing whatsoever on the claims you made about Mikami taking credit for other people’s gameplay design ideas and direction.
The stuff that is public knowledge is the stuff you mentioned on the setting and story that got changed by people like Iwao. You can disprove that by dropping a source but until you do this is all officially ordained hyperbole and nonsense. This is fairly well known.Ī lot of this is complete bullshit bordering on fanfiction. He just took credit for a game that was salvaged by someone else after he drove it off a cliff.Įnd of the day, Parasite Eve 2 was directed by the TRUE Director of Resident Evil, the guy who saved the game from Mikami's awful, awful ideas. Is it really innovation to blatantly imitate a game that came before? Like, if I make an open world FPS game where I climb towers to unlock parts of the map, how I am "innovating", exactly?Īlso, how do you know Mikami had anything to do with Vanquish's design when he has a history of taking credit for things that aren't his? The iconic "survival horror" elements of Resident Evil are not Mikami's work. This is somewhat common in Japanese business, to be fair.
Mikami is a textbook example of an arrogant - who allegedly bullied Iwao during development - rockstar developer that took credit for ideas that weren't his.
Just about every iconic element - including and ESPECIALLY the idea that the protagonists needed to be human and fragile - of Resident Evil is Iwao's work, not Mikami's. Until Iwao came onto the project, RE1 was an incomprehensible, absurdly unscary piece of nonsense about cyborgs fighting ghosts. Resident Evil's design - the setting, the characters, and the general shaping of the gameplay right down to how many bullets guns carried - that was Kenichi Iwao.
