Unfortunate, but unlikely to seriously impact DR3 prospects in any way. Executive Producers are generally just big picture people; they don't really work on the day-to-day stuff. After all, he's credited in pretty much every Capcom game out there. He couldn't possibly be so hands-on with them all. It's more the local producer and director that really drive the game. So, in that sense, there's nothing to worry about.

Where he *would* have definitely made a difference, though, is before they start production, because his opinion carries (carried?) a lot of clout, and so if he said, "Let's make DR3," it would have had a much better chance.

Still, money talks more than anything. And since the series is enjoying healthy sales, I don't see much need for concern.
