Shortly before its official release in 2008, space horror Dead space from the team Visceral Games was personally tested Shinji Mikami… Publisher Electronic Arts invited various industry figures to him so that they could personally evaluate the upcoming project, and one of the “outside experts“became the father of the franchise Resident evil…
That Mikami touched an early working build Dead space, told Glen Scofield, the head of the development of the classic horror, in an interview with the publication EDGE…
“I remember when we showed Mikami’s game. From EA’s side, all kinds of people from third-party game studios always came in. And at the end of the demo, he [Миками] bowed to us. We gave him only one level to play, he passed it, bowed, and said through an interpreter that we had done something really outstanding.
I was very proud then. I thought to myself that the project was probably really good, but it was difficult to judge. When you are developing a new game, before its release, you have little idea of what will ultimately turn out, “explained Glen Scofield.
For the developers of Dead Space, Shinji Mikami’s blessing meant praise of the highest degree, as they used the cult action movie as their main source of inspiration and creative reference. Resident evil 4, first released in 2005.
Recall that a full-fledged remake of Dead Space is currently in production. Its production is carried out by the team EA Motive, and the list of platforms includes the next-generation consoles PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
