Capcom’s Jun Takeuchi has revealed that the Japanese giant has yet to decide on a producer for Resident Evil 6, though stressed it is “important” that the developer ensures the sequel will appeal to a wide audience as with its predecessor.
Speaking at the Tokyo Game Show this week, Takeuchi commented, “The producer for Resident Evil 6 hasn’t been decided yet,” adding, “I think, while Resident Evil 4 is a great game, its appeal was limited somewhat to maniac players. With RE5, I wanted to bring the series to a larger audience. I think it’s important to do the same for the next RE.”
The Resident Evil 5 producer also stated that there are currently no plans to bring the action-horror outing to Nintendo’s Wii console: “With the difference between hardware specs for the Wii and the PS3, porting might be hard,” he said, adding, “We currently have no plans.”
Can’t wait for Resident Evil 6? No worries. We’ll be getting a fresh entry in the series exclusively on PSP in 2010, along with a re-release of RE5 with motion-controls and bonus content in the spring.
