Resident Evil 6 direction "in the cards"

Written on July 28, 2009 by

An amusing little tale out of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, thanks to Kotaku:

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi and Masachika Kawata of Resident Evil 4 fame are apparently playing against each other at Blackjack, the idea being that the winner takes the reins on RE6 when it comes into production.

The card game is apparently quite real, although the results might not be, because according to Takeuchi: “it doesn’t appear as though either of us is going to be in charge”.

Still, it’s nice to know that it’s not just poker players who enjoy a good side bet.  Given that Bungie recently revealed that Halo: Reach is going to be their last project in the Halo series, maybe it’s time to call a poker tournament to choose the developer to take over the mega-dollar franchise?  Now there would be an event worth watching!
