Unannounced Platinum Game Coming to E3 (IGN)
- Thread starter GameE
- Start date
...What?
Lol
But yeah it was Sony's God of War before God of War. It's based on Hindu gods, you actually play as Garuda fighting Ashura. Garuda renamed to Sky in localized version.
And the devs Sony contracted back in the day were ex-Capcom staff.
Just like Platinum!
Hmmmmmmmmmm.

How about a Platinum made Metroid?
Oh you Kamiya.
This is the same man who said he didn't know when E3 was last year. Don't believe his lies.
Yeah this makes sense. Let's hope this is the case.

Re edit: Nintendo announced Codename STEAM during the Treehouse last year.

Of course it's not Kamiya's game. Hashimoto or Saito.
Interesting.
Of course there's no reason that Platinum couldn't be revealing Scalebound, this game on IGN..AND a new game for Wii U.
They released MGR and Wonderful 101 in 2013, The Legend of Korra and Bayonetta 2 + Bayonetta Special edition in 2014. Three games being released by Platinum between now and the end of 2016 wouldn't be that surprising.

It doesnt make sense though because the opposite happened last year

Also I was thinking, if it were a Nintendo game, why would they give IGN on the scoop on gameplay instead of showing off the game at their Treehouse coverage afterwards?
Most likely a multiplatform game, I'm guessing.

Please be Vanquish 2!
Yeah, not happening.
Hmmmm...
Well, I just hope its multiplatform. Everyone should be able to enjoy Platinum games.
Because gaming websites are just an extension of publishers' (like Nintendo) PR arm. It's good to stay in good terms with some of the biggest with exclusive deals like this one. See: Wonderful 101 and Devil's Third reveal in the past
But everyone can enjoy them. If three PG titles on Wii U isn't enough for you to get the system then how much do you want to play them in the first place?

I'll laugh my ass off if it turns out to be a sequel to that Legend of Korra game...
How did it do by the way?
I think all we can be sure about is that it's the same team that made Rising that is working on this. Kamiya's team made The Wonderful 101 before and now Scalebound, and Bayonetta 2 only finished up at the end of last year, while the Rising team has been MIA since that released. As much as I'd love it to be Rising 2, I'm pessimistic, but I'm still excited for anything that team puts together.

I've already brought those up, well, at least Wonderful 101. We'll see next week though.
It probably will be. They're not revealing some big game on an IGN stream.

They could work on 2-3 games at the same time. They did before.

Sales or reviews?
Horrible review-wise and i bet only the hardcore platinum fans gave money to that so...but again it was a quick cash grab from Activision.
You asked why would they and I explained why. Their E3 coverage is never concentrated only on their main event. OOT3D is another big(ish) example.
yeah, reviews were spot on, it wsnt that great, i want a Platinum games title on PS4, then folks say LOK on there, i need a REAL PG game.

Co-developing Star Fox U or Vanquish 2 all over my face. A sequel to Bayo 2, W101 or Rising isn't happening anytime soon, so realistically it's probably something new.
In fairness, it only says it will reveal gameplay, the game itself may be revealed in a conference with a CGI trailer or something. In fact it even says "an extended look at gameplay", so gameplay may even be in the reveal trailer anyway.
Well, if they do another exclusive game then it wouldn't be that bad if the third one is multiplatform.

And Korra was a better game than the reviews reflected. Much like TW101. What Korra lacked was a proper budget and dev time. it wasn't a Bayonetta 2 level masterpiece, but a decent license game.
I just wonder what publisher would want to work with them on a multiplatform game (not like LoK = quick & dirty). DMC5 is one possibility I guess.
I didn't think Korra was horrible at all. It's not top tier Platinum, and it was obvious it didn't have a full cycle of development, but I still enjoyed it for the $15 I paid. It's not ideal, but a Korra 2 wouldn't be that horrible for me, even if I'd prefer other things from them over that.
I just want their games to be available to more platforms. That's all.
Capcom has Dragons Dogma, FROM has the Souls Series, P* could do their own RPG (Sci Fi/Cyberpunk). I'd love to see that.

Bayonetta 1 and Vanquish Remake for the PS4?

For all we know Scalebound could be their rpg type game.
Salt has suddenly become a huge part of these announcements, you cant be upset without being hit by salt comments or crying pics/gifs, its just part of the show now. usually the advice you get is just buy a Wiiu, taking up a new console is a huge investment, atlest for me it is.

Well everyone is already able to enjoy them so it doesnt matter to me not 1 platform kinda guy. I play a platinum game wherever its at dont care
Eh, I understand it and all. We all want the Platinum goodness on our console of choice, but it is what it is. We should be happy that Platinum is getting consistent work despite the general low sales of the titles they produce. Sometimes you just have to throw out the salt and enjoy the fact that the meal exists, even if it's a dish from a foreign land that you can't partake of.
I mean, I don't have a PS4, and I really don't have any plans to get one in the immediate future. And if this ends up being a PS4 exclusive, I'll admit I might be disappointed, might make a post or two about it. But I'll go about my day, and be happy for Platinum that they continue to find work on dedicated gaming hardware.

I imagine this is likely a Nintendo game. Sales aside, their relationship seems tight as hell.

Oh sorry I was reading that Tweet about fans "crying" and thought it was new, it still doesn't mean anything btw.
It's Falcon Hand. Holy shit.
yeah youre right man, i wish they did do well sales wise. i got told a few times that i shoulnt be upset because of "game" wouldn't exist if it wasnt for "publisher" involvement. this always made me mad but at the end of the day its the truth.
maybe PS4 will get thier PG title but until a official announcement i got 2 options, 1(get a Wiiu or 2(wait and maybe ill get lucky. workin on 1, i got alot to consider for getting a whole console for 2 games

I think Nintendo's digital event earlier that day IS a major element here. I'll put my money on a new exclusive deal with Nintendo, for good or bad
