WOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOw

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Thread title reads like a Thuway prediction

I still can hardly believe it's true

 

[Korigama]

...This is really a thing? Well, never watched the show or Avatar before it, but whatever. Get that money, Platinum.

Spoiler

I've been enjoying Kill la Kill so far, but I won't be pestering them to make anything they don't want to, even if I would trust them most.

 

[drgambit]

Wow, another crappy Nickelodeon game that I can get 1k gamerscore in under 2 minutes...

Spoiler

bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

 

[Yazuka]

Platinum Games? Legend of Korra? Day one!!

 

[Ushiwaka]

Why there is no mention of this game on PG's official website/twitter?

 

[Blargonaut]

Optimistic, but I'll withdraw judgement until pics/footage is up.

 

[BY2K]

Wait, Activision is publishing this?

Oh boy...

 

[RPGCrazied]

I like the show, but this seems like a missed opportunity. This should have happened with the first anime series with Aang.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Legend of Korra, cool.

BY PLATINUM!?

Perfect.

And yes, I'd be perfectly content with just letting us have a big arena with tons of enemies as we use Platinum's megaton stylish bending action. I really hope we get full combos and tons of techniques, but it being a quick downloadable scares me.
I realistically expect 3 hit combos with generic bending. But Plat always destroys expectations and reality so let's goooo

And also super hype about it coming to PC

 

[Sn4ke_911]

nvm

 

[JetSetRadio]

I don't like japanese cartoons and I don't like most of PG's work.
Might end up enjoying this, you never know.

its American dude

i dont know if this is going to be good or not. Feels like its going to be Gearbox's Aliens to Platinum's Legend of Korra kinda project.

If Platinum can make a fun game out of rushed almost cancelled AAA IP
They can make a decent action game (because they are the action masters) out of a licensed property in their sleep.

"they wanted platinum to make a game based on a medicore but overhyped animated series starring a female lead? WELL," mutters jp kellam

Hahaha

There is more thought put into the fighting mechanics on Korra so there is that.

But yea...

 

[Krustentier7]

I don't know how to feel about that. Platinum Games is my favorite developer, and even so, I can't see this turning out well... I'll wait for the IGN hands-on to prove me wrong though.

 

[Lernaean]

Ugh, i don't know how i feel about this.
Hope it's gonna be good.

 

[Supermanisdead]

you guys dont know how im feeling right now im hyperventilating and crying omg what please helpe me

 

[Adaren]

Guess I need to watch Korra.

Glad Platinum Games is getting the recognition they deserve.

 

[munchie64]

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Platinum Games doing a licensed game? On a WESTERN license?
I mean Korra isn't the best but holy shit... This has the potential to be great.

 

[Azure J]

...why is everyone talking about a Platinum Kill La Kill game btw? Isn't that what Bayonetta's for?

Spoiler

Kill La Kill was an okay ride with a lot more hype than the end product really deserved.

 

[Father_Brain]

I really hope Platinum is doing this out of love for the license, and not financial desperation.

 

[KnightHero117]

My thoughts exactly

 

[KnightHart]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... WHAT

 

[ChipotIe]

"they wanted platinum to make a game based on a medicore but overhyped animated series starring a female lead? WELL," mutters jp kellam

Twitter is going to be pretty interesting today.

 

[Neoxon]

Guess I need to watch Korra.

Glad Platinum Games is getting the recognition they deserve.

I'd catch up quickly, Book 3 starts this Friday.

 

[inky]

Activision publishing.

This will have a budget of $7.

=(

Well you're in luck, because The Legend of Korra is an American cartoon.

 

[RPGamer92]

Will probably be the best selling Platinum game lol.

 

[Tucah]

uh

what

uh

 

[Regiruler]

Battle for Bikini Bottom and the SpongeBob Movie game were both good. I'd be less worried about Nickelodeon and more worried about Activision and the 2014 release date.

The spongebob platformers are the exception, not the rule. Not to mention those were made a long time ago.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

"they wanted platinum to make a game based on a medicore but overhyped animated series starring a female lead? WELL," mutters jp kellam

This is Avatar, not Kill la Kill.

=(

Platinum could be a kickass game out of two rocks, some string and some old eggs

 

[Adaren]

I thought this was from the show...

 

[donkey show]

RULES OF NATURE!

The LOK facebook page is letting people choose the cover for the game
sliding towards the first and third one right now

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.901144116568849.1073741827.209565489060052

This one because it has blue/orange. :3

 

[illmatic22]

This is Avatar, not Kill la Kill.

Ha

 

[Jarmel]

This is Avatar, not Kill la Kill.

It's Korra.

 

[IHaveIce]

This is an april hoax right?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

The spongebob platformers are the exception, not the rule.

It's less a matter of the IP's owner and more one of the publisher and the developer.

 

[flatearthpandas]

Huh...

Guess I'll have to catch up on the show and go from there. With the reputation of Platinum and the writer of the show also writing the game... those are some good buttons being pushed.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Platinum game for everybody YAY

 

[El Sloth]

Need to pay the bills, huh?

 

[Neoxon]

The story is written by one of the main Korra scribes, & it takes place between Books 2 & 3.

 

[Sayter]

PlatinumGames you say?

SOLD!!!

 

[Mashin Haters]

goddam you are right sir. I look forward to seeing more of this

 

[88random]

I have always wanted to see an arena fighting game based on the Avatar universe with multiple modes, 1vs1 or team vs team. And Platinum to make it, lol.

 

[sphagnum]

This will probably be the greatest licensed game of all time.

 

[LogicStep]

I hope they make this good. An avatar game would be amazing if done right.

 

[Phades]

This really is a clash of two unstoppable forces.

Platinum game's awesomeness vs Activision's shittyness.

lets see which one prevails

The publisher always wins....

That said, it is interesting that they are choosing Korra.

Sad that there won't be Toph to play. Oh well, you get the dynamic duo brothers instead! /sigh

 

[Mpl90]

The IGN article mentions also a 3DS game which is a turn-based strategy game. Could it be put in the title, I don't know XD

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Platinum game for everybody YAY

It will still find a way to flop, somehow.

 

[JetSetRadio]

its American dude

I see

My knowledge of the subject is zero.
