Mikami's New Project Is "Zwei," A Survival/Horror Title
ZweiIf you're looking for another survival/horror game with Shinji Mikami's name on it - the Resident Evil guru is branching out, as you probably already know - you've got one: It's code-named "Zwei."
Mikami's first project with his new Tango Gameworks was revealed in Famitsu and summarized at Andriasang; as it turns out, Mikami is the game's executive director and is "fully involved" in the development. The last time he was in a similar position was when he worked on Platinum's Vanquish.
The genre is indeed survival/horror and he said he wants to "meet player expectations," and he listened to feedback during meetings with Zenimax (Tango's parent). Right now, it's a long way from being complete; Mikami says about half the basic settings are done, but at least development will be "speeding up" in the near future. Tango is currently hiring and they're especially looking for "talented programmers," so that's a good sign. As for Bethesda's role in the whole process, Mikami says it's "mostly through support as a publisher."
Hopefully, we'll learn more about "Zwei" some time soon.

RAGE was not made by bugthesda it was made by id, normally the KINGS of polish!
that did not stop RAGE coming out one of the roughest unfinished games ive EVER played!
played it on both ps3 and pc and its got so much screen tearing, frame rate drops and pop in i have not seen since the ps2 GTA era!
almost every game published by bugthesda this gen has been riddled with bugs, so i think the concern of this taking the same fate is well justified!

Have I been spelling "Scarey" wrong all this time by spelling it "Scary"?

Since leaving Resi, it's no coincidence that that's the time it went downhill.
Could he be onto another historic franchise?! No pressure, Shinji!

I want to have the same guttural feeling I had playing the original Clocktower back in the day.

sorry, but ive been let down by FAR too many games this gen who claim to be survival horror and are nothing but mindless action games!
i hope it is survival horror is by FAR my favourite genre out there, and its been FAR too long since weve had a proper survival horror game!
but forgive me if im a little sceptical.
as the saying goes fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
