Project GG, Hideki Kamiya's new project, announced - Teaser Trailer
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Don't worry the doggo made it out alive, Hero will always protect the doggo.
Kamiya could make a game about filing tax returns and promise that it's going to be boring and I'd still be like, bro, fuck me up, where do I pre-order?
A trailer with some production value that it doesnt seem like a fan made trailer? Seriously that text .. and the design behind it. It feels like a shitty fan made trailer

I think you're mistaking something that's closely imitating old tokusatsu series with something that's actually just low budget and terrible-looking.
Which fair enough, that means it's a really good impression.
Ah, yes. The time-honored Japanese media tradition of killing gods.
Well, obviously the dog isn't gonna get hurt, right?
And the hero appears-wait is he transforming?
Holy shit, is that Ultraman?
Holy shit, it's Ultraman!

God, it's been ages since I've seen Ultraman. I am so fucking hyped for this!
That would be ideal. Otherwise I feel it's probably gonna be just fights against giant monsters with boring open space.

i believe in the famitsu interview inaba or kamiya say they refused tencent funding (or is it just funding above a certain level?) on this one because they want to retain ownership on the IP
It's a Kamiya project, so it's guaranteed to be exceptional.
Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101... He's incapable of directing a game that's less than great.

It unironically was, to my endless surprise.
Cool, didn't know it was in Bayo too. I never played Viewtiful Joe (where is that remaster Capcom?) But I did watch the whole anime as a kid on TV and thought it was the coolest.
Wow, looks cool. That audio sting at the very end gave me goosebumps. Sounds like pure, unadulterated anime.
Great to hear they're taking direct control. Wishing them the best with this and projects going forward!

Well they did it to recruit more people (and hype up TW101R KS).
Yea makes sense but the wait is going to be tortured.
I'm also surprise they are looking for people to recruit, I'd assume thousands of people would work in platinum studios.
I remember this recent picture of Kamiya where he had an The Iron Giant statue on his desk. The trailer kinda explains it haha.
I feel the same, and I kind of hate it. I've become all I've despised in other fanboys. :(
is bad to put a not announced game in my top of most anticipated games?
Oh, no, Ash said Kamiya directed Bayo 2
Another insect for the block list :(
Because they're also probably targeting Switch in some form.
IGN put a little interview with Kamiya and Inaba:
Also, IGN Japan had another (or the same) interview that Siliconera translated some of its quotes, one being Inaba saying something about the release timing being a hint about its core and probably the scope of the game:

Interesting. So I would expect it to be a H2 2022 game, then, and of AA scope.
There's something that they are reiterating in all these interviews, and that is how the game is not entirely focused on its action elements.
It can be read as some sort of a warning to people thinking about it being something akin to The Wonderful 101, Viewtiful Joe or Bayonetta, stage-based games where action is the main focus, as they said that one of the game objectives was precisely to go against user's expectations. Seeing how successful Astral Chain, a game that tries to do multiple things outside its combat sections, was in comparison to other Platinum releases and that the last project Kamiya worked on was Scalebound, an action-RPG, it makes me think that Project G.G. is going to focus more on some sort of adventure gameplay around the city (or cities) the hero is protecting, with the battles against invading giant monsters and some goons mixed in it.
Another approach they could have with this title, moreso if the new Tokyo studio is involved with it, is it being their first live ops game, taking the "villain of the week" literally with different rounds of giant monsters attacking the city and introducing more of them as the time goes, with the player doing tasks around the city when it is not being invaded (helping some of its citizens, defeating some minor goons, repairing the damage done by the monsters and the battles against them or reinforcing it towards the next attack).
I think that Platinum Games is trying to move a bit away of those kind of niche titles with its new projects seeing how many of its attempts at single player pure action games don't reach many players as they would like, trying to keep alive that line of titles by other ways, like the TW101 kickstarter (yes, Bayonetta 3 is still coming, but Inaba commented on how they were experimenting in some way with it, or at least their approach for its development). This worries me as I didn't like how Astral Chain managed its non-combat parts, neither enjoyed it overall as other PG titles, and how the only non action focused game directed by Kamiya, Okami, can be considered as its weakest game, so I don't really know what Platinum and Kamiya can deliver when doing something different to what they are best known for.
