PlatinumGames Executive Producer Says 2019 Will Be "An Intense Year", Announcements Coming
- Thread starter RevengeTaken
- Start date
I'm not going to hold that against Platinum. I frankly don't think anyone could salvage that control scheme.
Give me a Vanquish style shooter is more what I was thinking.
I just think Nintendo and Platinum are a different places than they where when they made Wonderful 101 and Starfox which both had problems like 101 selling like 5 copies and Starfox being a critical mess (although they barely made it). Nintendo was at an all-time low and Platinum now being off an all-time high after Nier being their biggest success ever, I just dont see why they would make a brand new Ip for Nintendo, and I just dont want them to do that because the games they do are very limited by Nintendo hardware and arent benefited at all by said hardware (its not like they make multiplayer games or games that benefit by being portable). They should just keep to PC/PS4 and maybe xbox one if they have the resources, that way they can finally grow as a company, something they never could do because their games never sold...until now.
you make it sound like Platinum can pick and choose what projects they work on. they can, sorta. they are a for hire studio. if the pay is good enough and they got the hands to spare, a job's a job. it's pretty obvious they also like working with Nintendo and Nintendo likes working with them. remember their future was very uncertain when Scalebound got canned and they were working on budget licensed games to keep their lights on. so it's not like they're high end all the time with a spotless record
PG is an independent studio, being picky would make it hard to survive.
Clearly Nintendo is still more than happy to do business with them considering that they are funding Bayo 3. For PG that means a few good years of work/paycheques.
Besides, they are working on a whole bunch of projects so it's not like they are locked in with Nintendo. They are working on that big Granblue console game. And have also said that they have a big secret project in the works that will turn the action game genre on its head.
Sounds more like you just want them to be only on PS4 and maybe other platforms might be thrown a bone
You could have just saved time and just said you don't want it on a Nintendo console you know?
No need to dance around it.
Now now dont misunderstand me for a fanboy or something petty I just want them to be multi platform so they can grow as a company and have a chance at success they can also be on all platforms if they could (they cant) but they seem to be going the route of Nier for their future games platforms. Platinum has always had the problem of barely scrapping through to the next project (being console exclusive does not help that), imagine them having time and a budget to make a bigger game.
You guys are making me drool, I've wanted a Mysterious Murasame Castle reboot since forever, but also a Sheik and Captain Falcon game would be perfect for Platinum
You're comparing Nier Automata, a game that is part of an established franchise, received fairly heavy promotion by BOTH SE and Sony, was critically acclaimed, and on a popular system to W101, which was a completely new IP (and a fairly weird concept) on an unpopular system. They're completely different situations. Your implication that Platinum can only find success on the Playstation seems to ignore most of these factors. There's nothing stopping them from having success on other systems. It all depends on the game
I have nothing against their games being on Switch but Platinum always barley scrapes through to the next project and I just want them to finally have time and a budget to make a game in general (maybe even a bigger game) and doubt a Nintendo exclusive will break that Platinum spell of scraping through, although Bayo 1/2 sold pretty good on switch. But is it so bad to want Platinum to make an awesome 60 fps action game on good hardware instead of compromising so much to make it run at 60 on a portable?
So the Switch is "bad" hardware eh? Thankfully Emily has said that Platinum and Nintendo's relationship goes beyond Bayonetta, so you won't be getting what you want.
maybe you should check at Nier Automata performances (and visuals) Lol
Bad? no, less than ideal for the consistent type of game Platinum develops? Yes
You mean the open world game that runs at 60 on consoles and is Platinums first open world game with a strong art direction that carries the visuals becuase it had a VERY small budget, Yes very impressed with Nier actually.
Very transparent intentions, "but I mentioned PC so I'm neutral"... . If you are so concerned about graphics, why should it be holden back by consoles in the first place and why shouldn't the strongest console right now the XboxOneX not be the priority among consoles? Always funny to see PS beeing always fine in these kind of hypocritical arguments, even in the PS1 and PS2 days.
Automata is not open world, and it doesn't "run at 60 fps" on base X1/PS4. More like 40-50 fps.
It sold 3.5m so PG is now a AAA studio don't you know?

based on what exactly? actually, you don't know how bayonetta 3 will look. switch is much stronger than wii u.
maybe on the x because this is how it runs on the base ps4
just like bayo 2 on wii u.
Im always excited for more PG i hope they are action games and not rail shooters or Nintendo ip, W101 i expect a port but i don't see the appeal for a sequel and i was there day 1 i think it should be a new ip.
Yeah they should take all the time they can to release as good as possible, so far it seems PG are in no rush to give info, eventually i think dmc v release is gonna help bayo 3 a bit more than hurt it releasing several months after with gamers more interested in the genre and switch selling good
Nier Automata and Babylon's Fall are only PS4/PC at launch because P* doesn't have the resources to do all platforms and they know where they are going to sell copies ideally they do all 3 but that is not what they are doing with Babylons Fall, this is why I say this. Console fanboyism is very petty please dont misunderstand.
Edit: forgot about Grandblue fantasy also just ps4, its a japanese market game it just makes sense for Platinum if they cant do all platforms.
Im sure Kamiya said he is not working on BF somewhere 🤔 but instead a character action game
They said this about 3.
Looks like they are confident so we can only hope for the best,as for dmc v, Bayo 3 development and release is too soon to be influenced by it in any way so if anything comes from dmc is going to be until Bayo 4
Nothing stops them from making pretty 60fps games on limited hardware than design, because
Switch is actually more powerful than they are typically used to (Nier 2 is their only current gen game so far and it struggles to keep 60fps and frankly not that pretty, Scalebound got too ambitious and was axed by Microsoft)
Babylon should be their next step in tech though, looks cool so far.
I actually think Nier Automata looks great and genuinely feel the art direction carries it. If you are talking about fidelity, that is different. I understand some textures not being high res but the look of the game is very unique.

They're either hiring temporary staff or co-developing all the projects they're working on. 200 ppl isn't a lot for the type of games they're making and they're working on several. Platinum Games is also a development company, not a publisher, so they are not the ones choosing what platform(s) they develop software for. Beggars cannot be choosers.
What 'makes sense' is for them to stay afloat and be able to pay their employees. Platform preferences has nothing to do with it.
Platinum really isn't the developer I think of when I think "pushing hardware". They might be able to do that if they concentrate their 200+ staff on one game but that's not the kind of studio they are, and isn't economical. Working on multiple mid-range titles with solid art direction and solid gameplay is far more beneficial for them as a studio, and that's perfect for a company like Nintendo who are always looking for third parties that are willing to squeeze in an exclusive in their schedule.
Granblue Fantasy Re:Link is technically very impressive imo.
Looks like Platinum got a big budget from Cygames.
Cygames Osaka is the main developer on the project, Platinum is just doing the combat.
I think cygames is doing the majority of that development and platinum is just helping out.
they have a switch title yet to reveal gonna be fun year
yeah I want platinum's success to continue too, and it will they're on all sorts of projects atm..they're getting plenty of work so that's a good thing....but...yes they are making a new game for Nintendo should be revealed this year

Hahahaha thats not happening after Scalebound almost killed them. And microsoft are dumb and haven't purchased 1 Japanese studio and they wont.
Geez, I don't think MS is going to invest in Japanese studios either but this makes all your comments much more clear.
