Shortly after the game was revealed in December of last year, rumors began to spread about the development of the Resident Evil 3 remake. Namely, it was said the game wasn’t being primarily developed by Capcom, but by a new semi-independent “second-party” developer called M-Two Inc., and now that game has been played by reviewers, we know those rumors were, in fact, true.

M-Two Inc. is actually a rather interesting company, as it’s being headed up by various former Platinum Games employees. M-Two’s main producer is Platinum’s former CEO, Tatsuya Minami, and the director of Resident Evil 3 is Platinum’s former lead programmer, Kiyohiko Sakata. Of course, many Platinum employees originally started their careers at Capcom, with Minami previously working on games like Super Street Fighter II Turbo and the original Resident Evil, so the makeup of M-Two certainly makes sense. In fact, according to the folks at Video Games Chronicle, the original plan was for M-Two to recruit Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami (hence the name – Minami and Mikami).
