Looks like this is explicitly self-published titles.

Don't expect news on Bayonetta 3 or Babylon's Fall.

I know it's not their call, but at this point I only want one thing from Platinum and it's Bayonetta 3.

Honestly... i think i only really care for bayonetta, so will skip this.
Im not convinced that they are that great of a developer.
They are great in action gameplay, have really talented people.
But the output is just to spotty for me.
 
No Bayo 3, Babylon's Fall or Project GG info. Have to skip this one.
The first two never had a chance showing up here, as they're reliant on their publishers to update fans (and in Babylon Fall's case, in a period of closed beta testing at that). Project GG is also likely way too early to show off anything substantial, so while an update so I'd be cool, I don't think it was ever realistic.

I'm guessing World of Demons is likely to have a console port announcement? Can't imagine what else it would be, and it's about the right time for Apple's timed exclusivity to run out.

Platinum is so boring these days. Give me a new action game please. Literally the best around and yet no big game in years.

Two years is a long time?

I'm interested in seeing more of Sol Cresta, that fusing mechanic seems kind of unique? I don't play shmups much but it looks cool.

Shmups aren't boring.
Also, are your forgetting that EVERYTHING was delayed because of the pandemic?
Bayo 3 is just in dev hell. Can't blame covid.
Babylon looks like ass.

Shmup is boring to me when I compare it to some of the best character action games ever.

Not saying they should never do anything else but I just used to get soooo hyped for their games and now I just sigh when I think of em.

Well, after playing the Wonderful 101 and loving it, the waiting for the DLC made me lose complete interest in it. Will see if the proposed content is enticing or not.

Hope we get a release date for Sol Cresta I'm interested.

I tried World of Demons on ipad (using a controller) and didn't find it interesting or fun.

I know Bayo 3 been in the dark for a long time now, but it's kinda annoying every Platinum thread has to be a bunch of "what have you done for me lately" whining now.

Anyway, for this stream I guess:
- Sol Cresta was very recently confirmed for 2021, so i could see that get a date and some more gameplay.
- World of Demons non-portable release probably,
- Wonderful 101 DLC

Doesn't Nier also have one?

And the end credits to Vanquish. Most of their games have shmup sections and their love for the genre was always pretty obvious.

Looks like it's not worth tuning in if you want anything Xbox flavoured.

You guy's honestly can't even make an Xbox One version of Sol Cresta? The Scalebound fallout looks like a permanent full stop.

I suppose I can take a break from playing No More Heroes 3 to watch this.
