After Scalebound’s cancellation, the Japanese game director might be already working on his next title.

In his interview with IGN, Hideki Kamiya (Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101) said the following: „I want to make something that waves the Kamiya banner proudly. A game where you will know instantly that it came from me.” The signature gameplay, therefore, is a given. He also revealed that he pitched a game concept to PlatinumGames recently, with a rousing success: „Recently, I gave a presentation within the company for a game I’d like to make. Attendance was on a voluntary basis, not mandatory. I just said, ‘I’m going to talk about a few ideas I have, so if you’re interested, just show up.’ And the biggest meeting room that we have in the company was packed out. Out of the people who did come, there were a lot of people who had worked on Scalebound with me, and I was really happy that they came because we have had some trying moments together. It felt good to know that they would put their faith in me again, and I want to make sure I honor their trust and that something good can come out of it.

I was getting lots of feedback. If you’re in a small room, where you have a group of 5 or 10 people, it’s easy for people to exchange opinions. But if you get 50 people or more in a room together and you then say, ‘OK, question time, does anybody have anything to say?’ usually you hear crickets, because no one wants to speak up. But not this time. Everybody just kept firing off question after question, and we went over time. So I was excited about that.”

Well, it looks like he will have his next chance shortly – his last directed game was in 2013 with The Wonderful 101. Scalebound, his next project, got canceled by Microsoft.
