Is Shinji Mikami secretly involved? Seriously.

[WORLD CLASS]

The stealth kills are a 1.1 copy of The Evil Within which was the RE4 he wanted to make. This is too much of a coincidence.

World Class notices these things.

[Mr. Du Bois]

Might as well mention Mikami interview in which he wants remake to improve the story because he wrote OG story in only 2-3 weeks instead of his preferred 6 months.
Stealth kills could've been one of the dropped ideas in RE3.5 prototypes they didn't have time for and he used in The Evil Within, who knows.

As long stealth is mostly optional and not forced, it's only a good expansion of the combat options.

CAPCOM was never ashamed to steal ideas from other games. And on CAPCOM's case it is usually a good thing.

Capcom's world beating optimization covers a multitude of sins.

Stealth kills is more of an Ada thing really. The animations are a 1.1 copy from Evil Within so probably old coding lurking around somewhere.

He gave Capcom some advice.(Since he still has a good relationship with Capcom)

It's completely on Capcom whether they want to follow his advice or not.

If I recall he's consulted every once in a while. This was Mikami's last game before his retirement from Capcom before coming 'out' of retirement to develop Evil Within as his answer to RE6.

It wouldn't surprise me if he's even a little emotionally invested in his farewell project's remake.

Mikami's last game for Capcom was God Hand.(Which I think Capcom just allowed him to make it due to RE 4's success.)

Asked and answered lol. That being said, awesome if true. Shinji Mikami seems a lot like Hideo Kojima in that they work best when reigned in a little. Let them go too far off the rails and you get something that initially looks awesome, but ends up being confusing. I really wanted to like The Evil Within, but it felt more like a bunch of unrelated set pieces than something with a real story. The sequel was enjoyable, but I wish he had spent that much time and effort with world-building for the first game.

Thank you, I thought it was RE4. Speaking of, there are some articles circulating online that a God Hand remake is in the works.

For now, it looks like Mikami is managing his own company(Tango gameworks) which they recently released a new game.(Hi-Fi Rush)

I'm not sure to trust the remake news.

I'm not sure if Mikami is similar to Kojima. Mikami is more of a team player type of director/producer while Kojima wants to be in full control.

TEW was trying to be a little like SH 1.(A game where you have no idea what is going on in your first playthrough)

I don't think Shinji Mikami was involved with RE4 remake since he no longer works for CAPCOM. Besides, he's now focusing on his own game company at Tango Gameworks as well as their parent video game company ZeniMax Media.

Not to change the topic, but the "remake" news comes from Mikami's own facebook, in which he's collaborating on a "remake" (unannounced) in which he's tagged Tango, Capcom, and Platinum games. Sounds like a work in progress whatever it is.
