‘Resident Evil’ Creator Shinji Mikami Sits Down With ‘Silent Hill’ Creator Keiichiro Toyama to Talk Horror [Video]

With the original Resident Evil recently having its 26th anniversary (though the remake is pretty cool, too), Bokeh Game Studio, the folks behind the upcoming Slitterhead (and Silent Hill), were teasing a little surprise in celebration. That surprise turned out to be a visit to the studio by Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami. Mikami also sat down for a little chat with fellow Survival Horror innovator (and Bokeh Game Studio head) Keiichiro Toyama, to talk about (what else?) the genre they created.

The chat is the first episode in a new series called “Golden Hour”, where Bokeh Game Studio invites personalities from the industry in Japan for an intimate discussion about video games. For this first episode, Mikami and Toyama go over the duo’s respective beginnings in the industry, and the leadup to each other’s pivotal moments in the genre. From there, the duo get down to the developments of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and how they created their respective iconic games.

Interesting to note out of this conversation is Mikami, who likened his time working on Resident Evil to a “prison where you could freely make games.” For his part, when it came to the smaller details of developing Silent Hill, Toyama advised the team to “copy Resident Evil“.

Meanwhile, Bokeh Game Studio’s Slitterhead is currently in development for PC and consoles.
