I meant modern as in released in recent years, not as in they're modern-style games. :)
As for Inafune leaving, he left some time ago, either earlier this year or last year... he had some unkind words about Capcom when he left too, and complained quite a bit about Capcom's management and corporate style (and Japan's in general too, I think, to a degree). Apparently it's hard to get games approved at Capcom, for instance he apparently had to hide the Dead Rising and Lost Planet dev budgets in prototype budgets until the games were mostly complete, because the execs wouldn't have approved the projects...
