Mikami told us that he lacked "motivation" in the survival horror genre after working on similar games for a long time, but in the years since he stopped working on the genre he's seen a lot of concepts that he's strongly disagreed with. That's certainly an advantage for Tango as it works on The Evil Within, as the studio is leveraging id Software's proprietary id Tech 5 engine, which he said is easier for Tango to customize than something off-the-shelf like Unreal. "As for the organizational structure of companies, I think it would be good if companies would be more flexible about incorporating foreign technologies," he said. Mikami is no doubt happy to be a part of a Western game company but he emphasized that "there are still a lot of good companies." Even so, he'd like to see more Japanese developers utilize Western tech when it can help. Mikami noted that Western developers seem to be "working harder" but "if we can invest $30 million into a game, we can win." Of course, Bethesda Softworks wasn't about to disclose what the development and marketing budget is for The Evil Within, but if we had to guess it's likely over $30 million. In the past, what the Capcom president told me was that game development is becoming more and more expensive and many Japanese publishers won't be investing $30 million or more in a game," he said.

Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Ray Liotta, Alan Alda, and Christina Hendricks also star in Wanderlust. ![]() In February, Wanderlust faces The Devil Inside, Gone, and Tyler Perry’s Good Deeds. Don’t love the wait, but I’m glad to see Universal isn’t burying the film. So it makes sense when Box Office Mojo reports Universal has rescheduled Wanderlust for February 24, 2012. Wanderlust was meant to hit theaters on October 7, but so far we’ve just seen this image.
