Takeuchi Felt The Pressure Developing Resident Evil 5.

Speaking to British Microsoft mag, XBOX 360 World, Capcom's Jun Takeuchi - the producer of both Lost Planet 2 and Resident Evil 5 - has said that due to the "extreme pressure" of following up Shinji Mikami's Resident Evil 4, he will probably not been involved in Resident Evil 6.

"Yes, it's true we did feel extreme pressure, and Mikami-san's shadow after Resi 4," Takeuchi told the mag. "However, because we were creating the sequel to this huge franchise we wanted to make our fresh direction clear.

"Personally, I don't think I'm gonna deal with Resident Evil 6 at all — as far as the series is concerned I'm not planning to return until at least two more Olympics have passed."

It would be a huge splash if Resident Evil 6 made an appearance at this year's E3, but personally we don't think it's likely. It's actually going to be interesting to see which direction the franchise eventually takes. What would you like to see in Resident Evil 6?
