What about these guys

Not that I know anything, but if you look at their portfolio, you'll see that PG is capable to produce multiple games in a year

I can't imagine Boyes not having at least approached them to talk about some kind of deal.

I'm DYING to know what they're working on besides Scalebound. Sony approaching them for an exclusive would be cool. They should complete the circle.

That's what makes it all suspicious, Beyond was ready to hit PS4 but for whatever reason its release was put on hold....it could be simple schedule efficiency, but there may be a delay because of them choosing to port Heavy Rain at the last minute.

Maybe they've been working on both their new game and HR Remastered and we'll know about the latter joining Beyond in a bundle at E3, I'd personally love that, Heavy Rain is amazing.

Morpheus launch title is the most logical theory I've heard.

The only Platinum game available on PS4 is Korra. That's a nightmare.

I wonder how many Platinum games Sony could have gotten for all of the money pumped into The Order, Driveclub, and Knack.

At least Sony hired From.

Are you implying DriveClub is a bad game or something?

And what a dumb argument anyway. You think Platinum could of made 3 PS4 games in the span of 18 months?

Check Twin Souls, it's an upcoming Spanish stealth indie game about a ninja that can teleport into shadows: http://linceworks.com/

Coming to PC and next gen consoles. There's more info, screenshots and video in their FB and Twitter, TIGForums, etc. They even have a thread in GAF. Who knows, they may be in E3.

This will be at the MS conference in their ID@Xbox reel according to their Twitter last week :)

And AFAIK of its in their sizzle reel then it will be playable in their booth...at least that's what previous events dictated. So expect some gameplay write ups

Sadly all good and awesome titles that didn't deserve the backslash they got. At least DC had an excuse about the plus version and some bugs/bad rend at begin, so acceptable. But now is awesome to the boots.

No but one that would have been better than those three :)

Yes. They could've. But also could've made another korra, metal gear rising, or vanquish(loved this but main public don't, so the same).

Not saying they are shit. But they are not god of game dev.

1. Sony : Always my most anticipated Conference every year
2. Microsoft: The focus on 1st party will make this one very interesting.
3. Nintendo: I can't think of anything from them that will make me go wow, but I expect at least a good show.
4. Ubisoft: Beyond good and evil 2
5. Square Enix: Hoping for JRPGs, but I think they will focus more on western developed games.
6. PC: Don't know what to expect.
7. EA: No Dragon Age, not interested
8. Bethesda: Nope

It's very easy to play Monday morning Quarterback. Had those titles been successful this would not even be a conversation. Platinum is not a completely flawless studio they have a few flops as well. Hideki himself has had flops.

I'm saying Sony wasted money on Driveclub, especially since they've had to fix it. No idea if it's any good, never played it. The other two games are trash, though.

And I think Sony should have used that money on other things, including Platinum games. Time has nothing to do with it. Just give the money to teams that make great games. Yes, this a selfish preference, but I don't really care about feasibility when I bought into an ecosystem and the first party is mostly churning out crap.

This probably belongs more in the "controversial opinions" thread, but I'm fairly satisfied with Sony not hiring Platinum. I'm excited for Scalebound, but the only recent games I've cared are MGR and Vanquish. So unless, we're getting Vanquish 2...meh.

Platinum Games are the Daniel Bryans of gaming. B+ players, don't make much of a splash, but are adored by a lot of gamers for whatever reason.

I still liked Vanquish and MGR though. Solid B+ games.

i am more likely to play driveclub/knack when the plus version release than i would ever play a platinum game even if it was free. i am glad the order was made and I liked it even though there were a lot of flaws that I hope they fix the second time around if they get a chance. platinum games just don't seem appealing to me no matter how critically acclaimed they are.

Maybe you should create a time machine, go back 3-4 years and tell Sony that they should close Evolution and Japan Studio down and fire hundreds of employees because while you didn't play their games, you didn't hear good things about them. Then you should tell them that they should fund games from Platinum and some other developers that you can't think of right now, but would be TOTALLY better. That'd work.

I like Platinum and I hope they continue getting signed despite their games selling like shit, but god, their fanbase is unbearable.

You don't know what Sony spent to make DC, you don't know how much the spent to fix it, you don't know how much money they made.

Driveclub is an amazing game and the season pass is one of the best if not the best DLC this gen.

Eh, why not.

1. Sony - They're always my most anticipated conference. Good or bad there is always a lot to talk about after their presser. We're getting a new Uncharted 4 demo, we know they have a bunch of unannounced first-party projects in development, it sounds like they're announcing at least 2 or 3 of those games. Morpheus! I'm ready!
2. Square-Enix - Kingdom Hearts 3, please?!?
3. Nintendo - I don't have a good feeling about Nintendo's digital event this year, to be honest. I feel like we already know most of what they'll be showing this E3 and I think a lot of their unannounced stuff is probably NX related at this point. Hope I'm wrong. I'm still hyped for this. You never know with Nintendo.
4. Microsoft - Hopefully they have some surprises up their sleeve. I'm a little worried that they announced Quantum Break, Crackdown and Scalebound a bit too early. Looking forward to seeing Tomb Raider and whatever Rare is working on. Also the potential AoE or Halo Wars announcement could be cool.
5. EA - Battlefront, Mirror's Edge and a strong possibility we'll see Mass Effect. Could be a great show.
6. Ubisoft - Assassin's Creed doesn't do anything for me. Hoping for a killer reveal at the end of the show though.
7. Bethesda - I'm excited to see more Fallout 4 (though not nearly as excited as most of you guys are). It will be fun seeing DOOM.
8. PC - Its a 3 hour conference for PC. There might be some cool stuff announced in there but I think it will be mostly filler to be honest.

You can dislike PlatinumGames all you want people but claiming they are overrated or not good is just plain wrong if you look at the review scores their major games are getting.

But yeah, as always the PlatinumTurnaround will happen once they'll release their first major game on the PS4.

Can't argue with that. I'll pay attention when they make a game for a platform I own.

Platinum are great if you care about rich mechanics and awesome boss fights and encounter design, which I do. They're a gameplay first company.

They're old school in a way that many modern games aren't and videogames would be far worse without them.

Now Fallout, and Bethesda in general, that's overrated. :)

Oh, Verendus is back! Bump #2 in case you missed my post:
Verendus said:
[...]
I've already gave you a timeline on FF7. Where is that game that I've already told you isn't coming until SE are done with FFXV and FFXVI? The Capcom exclusive already came, it's called Street Fighter V. I told you that game was in development in 2013, you know, when Ono was saying they have funding problems (which should have been a dead giveaway, but hey, money does appear magically). The KH game that wasn't KH3 was a PS4 remaster, and it didn't happen (well, it's going to happen and doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but obviously not in 2014).

Hey Verendus!

Can you say anything about what you currently know of FFXVI? I remember you mentioning that it may be a return to medieval times. How is it going? Is it still on super early development stages (Design, concept arts and stuff) or has any work actually began on it?
Click to expand...

Was about to ask the same question. Would love to know a bit more.
I still wonder where the "summon traversal" FF prototype you talked about in '13 fits in in all this. Was that canned or is it FFXVI?

Man, I really wasn't hyped much for E3 this year before you came and dropped the bombs again like in '13, Verendus :D

If you don't want to or can't answer, that's okay... :(

Getting in on this conference hype list:

1. Square Enix - as far as I'm concerned, SE has the best line up of known games; Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Star Ocean 5 and the Kingdom Hearts HD Collection which some posters in this thread have hinted at. If they announce new entries in older IP's (preferably Parasite Eve) or, God willing, a new game by Taro Yoko (doubt this, but I can dream, right?), then they'd win E3 in my eyes.

2. Sony - I spend most of my gaming time on PlayStation platforms, so this should come as no surprise. I generally love Sony's first part output - though they'll have to show off some compelling content this E3 as I've found most of their output to be lacking this gen. Horizon, Tearaway: Unfolded, Until Dawn, Uncharted 4 and hopefully Gravity Rush 2 are what I'm most looking forward to. My dream game from Sony is them bringing Dylan Jobe on stage to announce a Warhawk/Starhawk sequel. Sony usually has an amazing indie showcase as well.

3. Nintendo - Once again, the big question mark of E3. Nintendo has plenty of games I'm interested in - Devil's Third, Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woooly World - and almost always has some awesome surprises. Excited to see what they have planned for this year.

4. Bethesda - Surprisingly, I'm not that hyped for Fallout 4 or Doom. It's the potential Dishonored 2 and/or Dishonored: Definitive Edition that I'm most excited about. As well, I've liked that Bethesda has shown a commitment to traditional single player experiences (The Evil Within, Wolfenstein), so I'm hoping for some new developer partnerships from them.

5. Ubisoft - Normally Ubisift would be at the bottom of my list, but with Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division coming out, I find I'm more interested in their conference compared to previous years. Hoping for a new Splinter Cell or Ghost Recon. I'll probably just tidy up around the house while they're talking about Assassin's Creed.

6. Microsoft - Unfortunately, I'm not too excited for Microsoft this year. We'll likely be seeing Quantum Break and Halo 5 again, which have lost their novelty despite looking awesome. Crackdown could be good if they decided to show it; Scalebound will likely impress as well. It's a shame the Gears remaster was leaked, as that would have been a nice surprise.

7. EA - I find it hard to get excited for EA's conferences anymore. Looking forward to some Battlefront footage, but the absence of Clone Wars/Prequel era content has diminished my hype. Garden Warfare 2 will no doubt be good, and hopefully we'll finally get to see the new Mass Effect. Other than that, not much I care about unless they announce a new Dead Space.

8. PC - This is only at the bottom of my list because I don't actually know what to expect from it. Is it mostly going to be multiplatform games? Hopefully we'll see some of XCOM 2 and Beyond Earth: Rising Tides, otherwise I'm not sure what surprises there could be that wouldn't already be revealed at one of the other conferences.

I think Platinum is overrated as well, not because they haven't made a good game, but because of the people who think they can do no wrong and will come out with a terrific game each time.

2/5 of their last games developed have been pretty bad/mediocre. 1 has been okay. 1 is good. And the last one is excellent. The way some folks go on about them you'd think that every single game they develop is excellent. That's what makes them overrated. They're a good developer, but not to the level that some people would have you believe.

Missed this part. Shouldn't have even bothered to reply to a post like this. Of course that's the reason people are saying that they're overrated... 2nd Edit: Looks like you may not have entirely meant it in the way, but I wasn't alone in interpreting it like that.

What are you implying here? That it's only Sony fans who are disappointed with some of their output?

What a B+ player.
