K: Hiroyuki Kobayashi -Producer of Resident Evil re-birth-
--: Interviewer (Unknown)
-- What kind of extra mode do we have this time?
M: Costume change and extra game mode, which I couldn't use that idea when I developed the original Resident Evil.
-- What is it?
K: Item box don't connect to each other, and players have to aim the gun by themselves.
The "real original Resident Evil".... Prototype Resident Evil was like that.
M: Item box don't connect to each other, so, you have to think what you are going to take to the resident. I bet you will have a hard time if you forget to take the shotgun.
More than half of staff told me "It is too hard!!" but some of them said "It is the best." .... I love it too.
K: Talk about costume change, this time, Rebecca changes her costume too.
M: I like it.
K: I haven't seen it yet, I left that for a surprise. I think everybody will pick Jill to play, but please pick Chris to see Rebecca's new costume.
-- How about Chris' costume?
M: Chris is weird, let him wear the costume and equip the knife, make him walk around inside the mansion.... weird...
Rebecca's costume is good! quality is same as STARS costume, but less cloth she wears.
-- Yes, in the office, a lot of people want to see Rebecca too.
M: I want people to come to see Barry. People say "Hey, Barry is on the screen!! Come check this out!"
I want Barry to get more popular, this time, Barry is not gonna say "I haaave this!!" but.....
-- The users focus point is various.
M: I know, this time a lot of the staffs said "No more real people?" or "No casts introductions?"
K: And.... "No more song on staff roll??" (Original JPN Resident Evil had a song on the staff roll.)
M: Everybody told me about it, "No song??" or "We need a song!!" *Laugh*
-- Edward, who is in the opening movie only his hand is not on the game at all?
K: No....
M: SEE!! BASICALLY PEOPLE DON'T WANT CHANGE!!
So we struggle...... If we change, people complain about it, if we not change anything, people will say just same or boring.
-- Do you have a message to the users?
M: If you have a hard time to get use to the controller, try "Type C", I think it is easier to use. If you pick "Type B" you will have a hard time. I suggest only masochism kind of person should use "Type B". *Laugh*
And please turn the lights off to enjoy the dark, beautiful colors.
-- Thank you very much.
