I've heard of Gravity Rush, never realized that it was Toyama's. I really want to play Silent Hill in the future but getting a PS1 copy is really hard :(
I feel like their personalities reflect their respective series perfectly lol. toyama seems a little more reserved while mikami is more outgoing. SH is a more quiet, psychological horror while RE is visceral and adrenaline inducing
There's a certain peace of mind I feel knowing that this video and this conversation between Keiichiro Toyama and Shinji Mikami exists. It's nice to reminisce and understand how we got to where we are today and where we were and why those early memories are so special. Thank you for uploading this : )
@@novustalks7525 Fun Fact: Way-forward said that Shantae was inspired by Disney's Aladdin ( The Capcom game), and Shinji Mikami was the one who directed it.
This two gentlemen, this two artists are the biggest influence on my professional life, in a way thanks to them I am who I am, and I'll always be thankful to them.
Two Legends meet together!!! I LOVE Resident Evil and Silent Hill Franchises! I dream that some day this todo could work on a original survival horror Game.
It is really crazy how those past videos made me feel. While watching I tend to get absorbed by the atmosphere, diving deep into the conversations and the ideas, almost getting lost in them. I truly believe that Bokeh Game Studios will be able to create something unique, speaking to the player on different level. I can't wait to be allowed to experience the creativity and commitment put into the project. I will surely be blown away.
Quite possibly the best gaming interview I ever watched. Insightful and emotional. So wholesome to see the respect and recognition Mikami has for Toyama's unique horror creations. Two legends.
As a lifetime RE fan, this was incredible to watch. Two amazing and talented people sharing passion and love for games they crated...Please do more of these....🍻
The struggle between the Creator side of the brain and the Producer side of the brain is no joke. It plagues me. But now I have this little voice in my head (subtitled) reminding me I’m not alone. Thanks for sharing!
Nice conversation. - I love that you guys started your own studios, like Tango, Bokeh, Kojima, Striking Distance, Inflexion, Archetype, and so forth. - It's the right way to go and it allows for more unique projects to happen, rather than working for corporations that are afraid to step outside formulas because they want to guarantee sales. - So please remain as independent or autonomous as possible and you'll probably always be noticed when you stay genuine. - I'm looking forward to your upcoming games and I will even go back to the older ones mention in this video. - Thanks for all the entertainment and inspiration.
Two of the well respected developers, talking about two of the best horror games to ever exist and reviving the genre with different themes. There won't be no other like these two gentlemen here
Wow, I really wish we could have more devs sit down and talk like this. This was so eye opening and interesting to hear you two talk and reminisce about the past. I can't wait for more of your videos and especially Slitterhead! Thanks!
Loved this conversation! Especially the parts about future generations of game developers as well as the theme of creating something where you feel both scared but curious to know more at the same time...and special shout out to the background music, very relaxing in my opinion! I'll be there when the next Golden Hour is upon us!!
This interview (or more preferably "dialog") is very inspiring. There are not much western companies left who are using director-oriented approach. In most cases it's %some company name% %some title% that will be forgotten in 1-2 years. On the opposite side, we all know: Keiichiro Toyama, Shinji Mikami, Yoko Taro, Fumito Ueda, Hideo Kojima, Goichi Suda, Toshihiro Nagoshi Hideaki Itsuno, Hidetaka Miyazaki and many many more. Japanese game dev was and remain my biggest stronghold and hope in this terms. Thank you and Keep it up!
Yeah that's interesting moment about approaches and culture around. Though it was somewhat more popular among western devs in 90s, and also slightly resurrected in shape of certain indie games.
Wow, this has been incredibly helpful and thought provoking for someone like me who wants to get into the industry, thank you both for sharing this talk. It has been an honour to feel like I was part of it ❤ Can't wait for slitterhead!!
Lucky to be a person that apreciated both man's work on the time that they came out Thank you for that interview, its something that i waited so many years to witness
These two are the masters of survival horror genre, man imagine if these guys team up to create a new survival horror game I’d immediately buy that shit day one, I can only hope 😁👍
This is like seeing Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in a same room talking about basketball Bonding and how they changed and affected it... Glad to see this video man
Thank you for this amazing talk and for all the sleepless nights Silent Hill, Siren and Resident Evil gave me. So uplifting and motivational. Can‘t wait to play Slitterhead!
17:40 "we had more freedom working on games back in the day compared to now" Yeah i know what he's talking about, that a big reason why modern gaming is so lack luster and stale.
It's just great to hear two of gaming's greatest creators just talking about their lives and their craft. These two men have forgotten more about making video games than most will ever learn, and there's not a hint of pretension to either of them. It's so utterly refreshing to hear not just game creators, but ARTISTS, talk about art and not once bring up politics, The Message, or any agenda of any stripe - just video games from start to finish.
This was so interesting seeing the thought process and conditions such classic games were made under. It's a view that players hardly get but I think there would be more appreciation and understanding from players hearing things like this. Thank you for continuing to do real horror games!
It doesnt matter what Toyama does, it is always something unique and worth watching or playing. Be it Silent Hill, Siren , Graviy Rush or the projects he worked on, this man is a creative machine. Claps and thanks for master Mikami too for creating such works and games aswell.
Ebisu is good shit. When I used to work at a Japanese restaurant in the late 90s, we were one of the few in NYC that actually imported this brew(it was pricey and few US customers knew that brand. Mostly they would order Kirin, Asahi or Sapporo).. but Ebisu was what all the waiters would drink after hours because it was a tier above everything else.
This right here is literally my life blood, I live for this. Thank you so so much. Listening to these two while also having a beer myself is one of those moments that just makes you appreciate the fact you're alive to experience such a thing in the first place.
I hope Mikami-san can find peace in the evergreen success and respect that people have for the REmake. I remember how pissed he was when Kingdom Hearts just buried that game back in 2007. The man might have had some flawed games like God Hand and Vanquish but he still manages to make stuff that resonates with people strongly. He has such a gift for tight mechanics involving risk and reward.
NO FREAKING WAY WTF, also its ironic that these two guys are trying to create something different with horror games. cant wait to see how slitterhead's take will be next with ghostwire.
como jugador viejo de videos juegos te llega al alma ver a estos dos grandes creadores de juegos charlar de como fue la epoca dorada de los videos juegos simplemente gracias por todo a ustedes dos saludos desde Argentina 👊🎮
Gravity Rush will sadly be missed one my favourite games had so much fun in that world. Resident Evil was the game I grew up playing still till this day it is my favourite survival horror game.
Shinji Mikami meets with kechiiro Toyama ! The creator of resident evil and evil within meets the creator of siren and slitter head !! Damn this is legendary !!!!
The way Mikami put his thoughts in words and how he openly talks about the difference between making a game as a producer and as a creator just show us how experienced and really sharp game dev he is. Dude is a natural, I can see why he has so many achievements under his belt
For me Gravity Rush was a defining moment for games. While it may not have lit the sales charts on fire, it took me to a place as a player I’ve never been before. That is so rare in modern games. It’s not entirely the fault of game directors or studios when people have played games for decades and most things have been done before in some capacity. But finding a game so clearly made with passion and love feels so rare. Especially outside of the indie space. Something about both Gravity Rush games just feels so magical and distinctive. I can’t even really put it into words. I’ve never been a huge horror fan, largely because I’m a coward. I played the intro of Resident Evil as a kid, got to the zombie FMV and it came at me and I shut it off and never invested in the genre again. Lol. Took all I had to get through Parasite Eve because of some of the creepy imagery in it, but that combat system was neat. I appreciate the genre from afar by watching other people play RE, Silent Hill, Siren, Clock Tower and others. But I look forward to Slitterhead and trying to conquer my fear of the genre after all this time. Then hopefully I can tackle the rest.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Mikami-san pouring his hearts out talking about his previous games. The tug & pull between the creator and the producer in him calls back to the other 2 parts documentaries (I know who made ALL these~), and it's something I truly respect. Mikami-san puts it well at the end. RE, SH and Siren are all horrors of its own. It is a testament of the possibilities of the 'genre', or better put, this Emotion can bring.
Silent Hill and Resident Evil in the same room. Damn this is the good timeline.
Yeah, although Barry Allen's mom is no longer with us.
I wish they invite deadspace too.
Thank you for the English subs! Two of the fathers of videogame horror megapowers handshake, yeah!
Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for watching :)
I know most people knows Toyama through the OG Silent Hill, but I wish Siren & Gravity Rush can get more love. I freaking love those games.
Both PS2 Sirens are so messed up in the best way posible, there's just nothing like them.
I've heard of Gravity Rush, never realized that it was Toyama's. I really want to play Silent Hill in the future but getting a PS1 copy is really hard :(
Wow I didn't know he made Gravity Rush. I bought GR2 and had a great time.
@@MaxDragonification about £80-£90's worth 😅
@@MaxDragonification You can emulate it bro
I feel like their personalities reflect their respective series perfectly lol. toyama seems a little more reserved while mikami is more outgoing. SH is a more quiet, psychological horror while RE is visceral and adrenaline inducing
Shadows of the Damned and The Evil Within seem to be in interesting place somewhere around those.
@@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333 Mikami said that he hated Shadows of the Dammed because of EA's interference.
Creators of Silent Hill and Resident Evil talking together about horror games - it's even above dreams. Thanks a lot for sharing such great videos!
Thank you for watching!
@@BokehGameStudio no, thank you for being awesome
"Being reckless when young creates stories that make our drinks taste better when we're Adults" DAMN, those are words of a phillosopher, Mr. Mikami
There's a certain peace of mind I feel knowing that this video and this conversation between Keiichiro Toyama and Shinji Mikami exists. It's nice to reminisce and understand how we got to where we are today and where we were and why those early memories are so special. Thank you for uploading this : )

Thank you! We're pleased we could make it happen :)

Thank you!
Two Legends meet together!!! I LOVE Resident Evil and Silent Hill Franchises!
I dream that some day this todo could work on a original survival horror Game.
Mikami-san really is the greatest of all time. The depth of thought and attention to detail for the game design is truly reflected in his works.
This is absolutely amazing.

Mi respeto y profunda admiracion, a estas dos leyendas de mundo de los videojuegos, ojala algun dia decidan trabajar juntos.
Remember to turn subtitles on for English!

Чудесные люди, чудесная атмосфера, чудесный вид деятельности, ребята мы вас любим и с нетерпением ждем ваш проект)
Best interview you could see in gaming industry.
Thank you Keiichiro Toyama & Shinji Mikami for creating the best horror franchises in history.
Nice conversation. - I love that you guys started your own studios, like Tango, Bokeh, Kojima, Striking Distance, Inflexion, Archetype, and so forth. - It's the right way to go and it allows for more unique projects to happen, rather than working for corporations that are afraid to step outside formulas because they want to guarantee sales. - So please remain as independent or autonomous as possible and you'll probably always be noticed when you stay genuine. - I'm looking forward to your upcoming games and I will even go back to the older ones mention in this video. - Thanks for all the entertainment and inspiration.

Thank you for watching :)

Two titans of game design, in the same room, sharing drinks. This is the coffee shop scene in Heat but for nerds like me.
lol! Good reference. Neither of them died after though... so far
I know Shinji Mikami is more famus for his horror games, but please let him know, that i am extremely gratefull... for GOD HAND!
The crossover interview nobody saw coming! :)
This was wonderfully put together 👏
Wow, I really wish we could have more devs sit down and talk like this. This was so eye opening and interesting to hear you two talk and reminisce about the past. I can't wait for more of your videos and especially Slitterhead! Thanks!

Two legends over a simple chat ! loved it.
Excellent conversation, thank you for putting this out. I'm a fan of both men's work so this was pretty special.
You are very welcome!
Mikami also created the evil within, my favourite horror franchise, so seeing all this come together is amazing
This is like seeing Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in a same room talking about basketball Bonding and how they changed and affected it... Glad to see this video man
Thank you for this amazing talk and for all the sleepless nights Silent Hill, Siren and Resident Evil gave me. So uplifting and motivational. Can‘t wait to play Slitterhead!
Thank you!
Never been a fan of Resident Evil, but this is the first rime I hear its creator talk about it, and even if I still don't like it, I can respect it.
小学生の時、バイオもサイレンもサイレントヒルも友達の家で初めてプレイして、怖いけど楽しかったのがバイオ。怖すぎて続けられなかったのがサイレン、サイレントヒル。大人になった今でも前者は各ナンバリングをプレイしてきていますが、後者はトラウマで一切触れることができていないのでいつかプレイしたいです。
それと成人してから何故かホラー耐性が更に弱まり、バイオ7、re2を途中で投げ出しそうになりました(なんとかクリアはした)

For me Gravity Rush was a defining moment for games. While it may not have lit the sales charts on fire, it took me to a place as a player I’ve never been before. That is so rare in modern games. It’s not entirely the fault of game directors or studios when people have played games for decades and most things have been done before in some capacity. But finding a game so clearly made with passion and love feels so rare. Especially outside of the indie space.
Something about both Gravity Rush games just feels so magical and distinctive. I can’t even really put it into words.
I’ve never been a huge horror fan, largely because I’m a coward. I played the intro of Resident Evil as a kid, got to the zombie FMV and it came at me and I shut it off and never invested in the genre again. Lol. Took all I had to get through Parasite Eve because of some of the creepy imagery in it, but that combat system was neat. I appreciate the genre from afar by watching other people play RE, Silent Hill, Siren, Clock Tower and others. But I look forward to Slitterhead and trying to conquer my fear of the genre after all this time. Then hopefully I can tackle the rest.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Mikami-san pouring his hearts out talking about his previous games. The tug & pull between the creator and the producer in him calls back to the other 2 parts documentaries (I know who made ALL these~), and it's something I truly respect. Mikami-san puts it well at the end. RE, SH and Siren are all horrors of its own. It is a testament of the possibilities of the 'genre', or better put, this Emotion can bring.
Thank you for doing something like that! I open a beer and drink watching this, laughing and feeling happy to listen their history! Amazing ❤️
Thanks for watching!
im 2 years too late but man this is fantastic
