Inaba On Devil May Cry's Survival Horror Past

simoniker writes "Gamasutra has put up an in-depth interview with former Clover head and Okami co-creator Atsushi Inaba, conducted before the Capcom division was dissolved. Inaba explains exactly how Capcom's Devil May Cry franchise came about: 'I actually did get on the Resident Evil 3 team, but when I joined there was a Resident Evil 1.5 project, which actually became Resident Evil 3. When the PS2 came out, the Resident Evil 3 team's name was changed to the Resident Evil 4 team. That didn't go so well, so we thought — 'what can we do with this,' and Devil May Cry was the result.'" Relatedly, eToyChest has up a great post-mortem of Clover Studios, giving their own reasons why they think the little studio that could was shut down.

If you support the death penalty, then you are stupid. Abolish the death penalty everywhere!
