Mega Man Creator Inafune Planning PS3 RPG

The producer behind Resident Evil and Mega Man has at least two new projects in the wings.

A recent report by Bloomberg left gamers with some tantalizing details about Inafune's upcoming projects. The former Capcom game creator says that he's working on two new projects. One of them is a social game targeted to the Japanese market. The second is a PlayStation 3 role-playing game that will release as soon as this August.

Keiji Inafune left a long-time position at Capcom late late last year, recently opened two new companies to focus on making the kinds of games he's interested in. This latest report seems to offer a hint of what those games may be.

Are you a big fan of Dead Rising, Lost Planet, or Mega Man? If so, are you still following Inafune's career?

i wonder what kind of rpg this will be, maybe something where your in a zombie ridden place just traveling around?
by Kyledk05 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 12:34 PM

Sweet. More RPGs is never a bad thing.

EDIT: Hold, up. Inafune created MegaMan, not Resident Evil. Resident Evil was by Mikami. You guys might wanna fix that.

I really hope its a new IP.

another Mega Man game would be pretty cool
by Opfer der Seele Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 12:40 PM

Yup. This guy makes some pretty good games so I'm interested in seeing what this RPG is.

I'm sure it's going to be good and I'm going to buy it. I look forward to seeing what he has coming up.

For the end questions: No, yes, no and only as much as you guys are putting out.

"The second is a PlayStation 3 role-playing game that will release as soon as this August. " Awesome, I have both a PS3 AND my birthday is in August...now I just need to hope that the project isn't delayed.

I love RPG's so I will look into this, need more information though. :)
by Carlos Vera Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 03:55 PM

I love all his games speacially Megaman and Resident evil.
by TP4Bunghole Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:07 PM

Anything from Capcom is usually good. And considering he was involved with making Lost Planet, I'm definitely interested to see this RPG.
by Rengeki55 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:10 PM

I actually liked Lost Planet 2, and sorta hope they ue that pattern for other games
by Razor_Regiment Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:24 PM

hmmm i'll be keepin tabs on this.
by Dustin Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:27 PM

This man is a gaming genius. I want to hear more about this new PS3 RPG. If it is possibly coming out as soon as August, I'm wondering why no details have been released about it yet. To Game Informer: Get a hold of him and find out. Hell, beat it out of him if you have to.
by Todd Hatchback Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:32 PM

Still following, very interested in what is in store.
by Mark Zufelt Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 04:33 PM

Love a lot of what this man has done for gaming. I'm on board for whatever he puts forth.
