Capcom's (in)famous Resident Evil 5 and Lost Planet 2 producer, Jun Takeuchi doesn't plan to return to the survival horror series any time soon, he's said.

Speaking in an interview with Xbox World 360 magazine, Takeuchi admits he felt "extreme pressure" working in the shadow of acclaimed Resident Evil 4 creator, Shinji Mikami, who left the company in 2007.

"Yes, it's true we did feel extreme pressure - and Mikami-san's shadow - after Resi 4," he told the mag. "However, because we were creating the sequel to this huge franchise we wanted to make our fresh direction clear."

He added: "Personally, I don't think I'm gonna deal with Resident Evil 6 at all - as far as the series is concerned I'm not planning to return until at least two more Olympics have passed!"

The news will comes as a mixed reaction to fans, as Resident Evil 5 was controversially received when it released last year.

Later in the interview Takeuchi said that he feels less pressure working on a relatively new IP like Lost Planet, but that requires "physical strength" to get right.

You mean he thinsk RE4 and RE5 were survival horror?

So that Takeuchi guy won't work on RE6? Good!

Remember when we heard about RE5's development process and how they were screaming at each other and not getting along? It's probably because of Takeuchi. I remember an article saying that the Capcom employees had problems with him. Same thing probably happened during Lost Planet 2 which is why the game sucks and feels broken according to the reviews.

Or it's because Takeuchi doesn't know how to make a good action game? But the reviews loved the graphics. Looks like Capcom focused so much on the visuals that they forgot the most important thing: gameplay and controls!

So where is Takeuchi now?  And I if he had anything to do with RE5 being they way it is, then I too am glad he's banished from RE6.  Five was a huge let down for me.

Played more Cel-Shaded Prince last night Turned off the tutorials. Game is still

Played more Arkham Asylum last night. Makes GTA 3rd person controls seem like a bad joke. Broke out onto the surface of the island, got some spray explosives. Had some fun.

Game is so seamlessly made and yet the individual elements are worse than how they are executed in games which focus on a single aspect.

It's strange because it's a game with almost zero flaws and yet somehow it doesn't excel enough for me to feel that it's one of the greats.

So do you guys think the Wii controller, or Nintendo's casual marketing & game creation (appealing to grannies & girls, snobby types, etc.) have had more to do with the Wii besting its cousin, the Gamecube, by 50 million systems?

Both. One enabled the other.

I agree to an extent. I still think though if they had just put the Wii out with a Classic controller pro, and no remote, with the same design and marketing it would have still sold well. That marketing was genius, as disgusting as it is.

• Lost & Damned wasn't terribly long. Can't remember exactly.
• I told you Persia was boring. That game baffles me....when I first saw it I thought it would be amazing, but it just feels uninspired.
• Batman is awesome. Easily one of my favorite games of last year. I was glued to it from start to finish, and many so called "great" games can't get me to do that anymore.

Played more Halo Reach and Bioshock 2.

Halo is basically another slight revision on the multi-player Halo formula. Halo is so fun to play that they can get away with not reinventing the wheel. Its definitely a step up from H3 though, don't get me wrong. Graphics are a big improvement, and playable levels are very well designed, and the new abilities and guns are all great fun. I think they've pretty much perfected Halo multi-player at this point. Bungie is walking away in a good spot...bravo.

Bioshock 2 continues to be really good, but I'm not too far in. Its basically just like the first game so far except you play as a Big Daddy. Speaking of which, one thing I don't get is why it seems like my Big Daddy is a major fucking pansy who can't even take as much damage as my regular ol' chap from Bio fucking 1?! I mean 3 bullets and my life bar is toast....not good when I have 5 Thuggish Splicers circle strafing me!!! But other than that, its a great time.

If you play as a Big Daddy in Bioshock 2, does that mean you control more heavily and slowly?

Eh...slightly. You definitely feel heavier, but its not a huge difference. Almost feels like Samus in the Prime games.
