Capcom director Kenji Oguro has been chatting to Very Gary Computing about new spin-off Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, which he describes as âthe JRPG the team always wanted to makeâ. It’s an interesting chinwag, not least for how it maps out differences between expectations aimed at Capcom’s role-playing efforts and the older Final Fantasy series (short version: older fans are more set in their ways).
There’s also a fun segment where Oguro bandies around the idea of a comparable spin-off for Resident Evil. He envisages it as something of a creature collector, like Monster Hunter Stories, but instead of collecting monsters, you’re curing them.
This sounds like an intriguing concept! It’s always exciting to see how classic franchises like Resident Evil can evolve and explore new ideas. Looking forward to seeing how this project develops!
