14 DAY TRIAL // Shinji Mikami, the developer best known for creating the survival horror genre as we know it, believes that indie developers will be able to bring more innovation to the industry due to their flexibility.
The game maker tells Eurogamer that, “I want to see a broader spread of games. I love indie games. These younger people with lower budgets and bigger ideas; maybe they will define new genres? Big budget games have to sell a great many copies which makes new ideas too risky.”
Amnesia is one of the indie titles that has managed to create an actually scary video game experience.
At the moment, Mikami is working on The Evil Within, a new survival horror experience that is set to be published by Bethesda and will arrive on the PC, current gen, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 in 2014.
