In a recent interview with Game Informer, Shane Kim provided some unintentional (but quality!) comedy. The following exchange is an excerpt from the piece that can be found on the GI website:
Kim: Yeah, but here’s the thing: I think one of the most important, subtle announcements at the Xbox 360 briefing is that Resident Evil is coming to Xbox 360. Yes, it’s from Capcom, who’s been a great supporter of us.
GI: But we knew that two years ago.
Kim: What?
GI: Resident Evil. It was shown at TGS two years ago.
Kim: No, but coming to Xbox 360.
GI: Yeah. It was at the press event.
Kim: I don’t think so.
GI: I’m positive. I was there.
Kim: Really?
GI: It was shown at both press conferences.
Kim: That RE5 was coming to…?
GI: Yep.
Kim: I’m going to have to confirm that. That was supposed to be the big announcement
Wow, you’d think that somebody that’s heading up first-party software at Microsoft would be at least a little clued in on the 3rd party happenings. Kim is a pretty active mouthpiece for the Xbox PR machine, so it would probably be a good idea if he, you know, was at least up to date with things.
The entire interview, which is quite good, can be found here: Game Informer Online
