Platinum teasing new game for E3

[George]

Metal Gear Rising?.

I think the sad part is that they are doing these license games when one of their team's original goals was to do unique IPs that they had complete control over. So far they have broken that after leaving SEGA.

Are we really going to pretend that Metal Gear Rising wasn't good, well received and memorable?

Anarchy Reigns? Korra? That DS RPG game?

I thought Anarchy Reigns was good, but hamstrung by the shoddy western release (Sega's fault) which meant nobody was online to play with, which was the whole point.
Haven't played the other two.

This game, while I'm sure it will be good, is diminished by being a licensed title. Very disappointed that this is the announced game.

Bayonetta 1/2
Vanquish
Mad World
Infinite Space
Anarchy Reigns

vs

Metal Gear Rising
Wonderful 101
Korra
Transformers

I wasn't a Metal Gear fan either, but really liked MGR.

I don't think being licensed hurts this game, at least I'll wait until we see what it's like.
As I said, I think MGR is up there with the Sega games (not as good, but still a really good game). W101 I haven't played yet, but again, it's still well loved and memorable.

I agree that Sega/Platinum made the best of the bunch, but I don't think they fell off a cliff the moment Sega pulled out. (Also technically Bayo 2 isn't a Sega game either so...)

It was sent to die but did anyone honestly think it would do decently anywhere? Even in Japan it opened to sales of under 30,000, the online community for the game would be dead within a month regardless of a global launch or not.

(Also Anarchy Reigns was pretty janky I thought D: )

Ehhhhh yeah it was a niche game for sure. I do feel that waiting so long hurt it's sales at least a little though. To be fair, they did at least make it a budget priced title.

I think it would have done better digital only or something. The single player was just filler, and the multiplayer seemed solid. Having seen and read some high level play stuff, it sounded like it had so much potential

Yeah it did come out 6 months after the Japanese release but I don't feel that should kill any hype, there wasn't any there to begin with (And Binary Domain outsold it in like a week, imagine how big a bomb it was then) It was available both digitally and retail I thought?

I don't know much potential it had, I've played it a few times but I just didn't have the enthusiasm to play it again. Stuff like Virtua Fighter or Virtua Tennis are competitive games I'd pop in a single play session, even stuff like Smash Bros are fun offline by yourself but I didn't get much of that out of Anarchy Reigns.

Booo. This is the Platinum game? Lame. Platinum's non-Sega games are utterly forgettable.

Wonderful 101 has one of the best endings to any video game ever, and you're calling it "utterly forgettable"? I mean, I get that the game is flawed but it being forgettable certainly isn't one of them. Besides that, it's not like SEGA is the main reason why Platinum's games are any good. If they were Metal Gear Rising wouldn't be their best game. :V

Developers gotta make money, otherwise no publisher is gonna support them. and well.. Activision knows how to make money.

The previous ones were good

[max_cady]

A Transformers game developed by Platinum Games? And out on X360 too?


Man, E3 hasn't officially started yet and we are off to a great start!

I tried sooo hard to like W101 and to care and I just couldn't bring myself to do either.

Ditto that for MGR. Bayonetta and Vanquish are leagues above that game in every way, sorry.

MGR is fun, but I don't think it's better than Bayonetta 1 or 2.

[TimmiT]

So the Transformers game's team includes people who worked on Korra and Bayonetta 2, it's being directed by the director behind Metal Gear Rising.

Looks awesome! But I really wish Activision got these guys to do a TMNT game : <

[Nirmugen]

I have mixed concerns about this.

In one hand, it looks really good and polish, but I feel this game is going to be really short in both content and replayability, plus it will have a ton of DLC from the get go(5 Transformers and 3 villains from the start, the next are downloadable content).

Man,Platinum has just gotten 3 more projects to work with Scalebound around the clock. I hope their commitment end well because I didn't have the best memories of devs when they were trying to grasp much projects with such a fixed dev time.

They are expanding, yeah but that doesn't mean much IMO.

I don't even like Transformers but this looks fuckin' SICK
