Ex-Capcom Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami has said that he won't play Resident Evil 5.

Speaking in a recent interview with Official PlayStation magazine, Mikami, who's now working on games with ex-Capcom studio Platinum Games, said that playing Resi 5 would "just cause me stress".

"I probably won't play it. I won't like it, because it's not going to be the game I would have made," he said. "It'll just cause me stress if I play it. I think it could be fun for gamers to play it, but not for someone who has developed Resident Evil games.

"If I see anything in Resident Evil 5 that isn't done well, I'll be angry!"

On number five's similarities to Mikami's fourth Resi, he says "that's fine, isn't it? I think Resident Evil 5 doesn't need to change the series, but Resident Evil 6 will have to reinvent the series with another full model change or else it won't be able to keep on going."

Mikami's current projects are a joint Suda 51 horror game with EA and an unannounced game for Sega.

Mikami calls working on two projects at once "difficult", "but I'm director on my game for Platinum Games and producer on the game for EA. So if Suda does his job properly, my workload will decrease."

A demo of Resident Evil 5 is due on the Japanese PlayStation Network next week, and "a bit later" everywhere else.

I finished playing "Resident Evil 4" 2 days ago and I have to say that game is AWESOME and REALLY REALLY good. If RE5 is anywhere like RE4, I'd be more happy. I'm getting RE5 no matter what anyway, the game looks and plays really really well from what I've seen so far. Resident Evil series is my favourite series right after MGS so I just can't pass on any future Resident Evil games. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and Resident Evil 4 are REALLY REALLY good. Bring on Resident Evil 5 already.

RE 4 was totally awesmome, but i think they just ripped off it so they could sell for the 360

Dont believe in me? You kill villagers in both games, both games have been attacked for racism, you are at a village, there is a hot chick, same stone aiming system, same"las plagas"enemies, same chainsaw guy/chicks, i think that merchant may come back, only new things that i saw are more bugs ( Beta videos, but who knows?), that crappy menu that pops up on the middle of the battle, co-op offline and online and being ported on a microsoft console.... wohoo
