TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan rated. (Activision, Platinum Games, PC/PS4/XB1/360/PS3)
- Thread starter Takao
- Start date
Platinum continually gets better with each PC release too.
First they were inexplicably locked to 1080p, then they listened to fan complaints, and now support 4K. Maybe the next release will have more resolution options (1440p not supported by Transformers), or the ability to go beyond 60 FPS.
Platinum games at 144Hz would be amazing.

I feel I should note that the licenses Activision actually has are TMNT, Transformers, several Nickelodeon licenses like SpongeBob, Snoopy, and a tiny bit left on their contract for film based Spider-Man games (unless they canceled that).
I think they dropped the Bond and Family Guy licenses.
Their Marvel license appears to conditionally exist, but primarily for re-releasing old games. Not sure if they have the rights to make anything new.
They're both relatively inexpensive and also a way above expectations developer for someone willing to work on low budget Activision licensed products.
I don't think it's too surprising that Activision is signing the up for whatever they're up to make. It's not like they have to pay in significantly more money, and they get games that sell more based on the developer's reputation and quality.

Same here
Well, that we technically already know:

Rated a few weeks ago in Brazil. It's coming to PS4, PS3, 360, One and PC!
Why does acti keep doing this "everything but wii u" on the properties that would probably be relatively successful on the system? Platinum is familiar with the hardware, they've done two exclusives and a port.
If it's because dark spark bombed, blame dark spark on being shit.
If the setpieces aren't different, what is really there to go for instead of just replaying platinum games someone already has? Not to mention, if Bayo 2 is any indication, low budget does eventually take a toll on balancing upper level combat.

The other games since then by Activison haven't followed the art direction of the new show either though.
No yeah I didn't mean it as a slight just surprising they've become Activision's go to.
Yep. Plus, I love to see Platinum getting such steady employment. They're one of the last bastions of Japanese brilliance in the industry, alongside other greats like FROM, Nintendo, etc.
To see Platinum making money with beloved '90s IP makes the whole thing sweeter.
That's the current comic look and has been for quite a while.

Count me in. I will absolutely buy this on PC. I miss good Ninja Turtles games. Turtles in Time is still one of my favorite games. My brother and I were so disappointed as kids when we realized how short of a game it was.

I absolutely do not understand cross gen anymore. It's been shown time and time again it equates to let Ike 10% of a games sales. Don't think it is worth the time or effodragon anymkrw

Are we gonna get real April O'Neil back? Complete with VA. . .
pretty much.
Quoted from the first page as it adequately summarizes my emotions as well.
Though I will add that (A) the game needs to follow TF's example and use a classic Turtle art style (preferably from the original comics, as shown on the previous page, or the 80's cartoon) and that it (B) would be great if would have some form of co-op mode. Going by the quote and the image above, having a classic art style might already be out of the door unfortunately...
And years later, they got plenty of shovelware to show for it, certainly!
First Korra, then Transformers, now TMNT.

Yusuke Hashimoto (Bayo 2) has expressed interest in doing a Spider-Gwen game.

Someone at Platinum games reads the dream announcements thread on Neogaf and does everything what the Gaffers asking for
Because some people on that thread wanted a Tmnt game done by PG.
If only From Soft could read that thread and make a Berserk game.

Another thing that adds fuel to the IDW TMNT fire is some other hints that I recall from the Technodrome.
Tom Waltz (writer for the TMNT IDW ongoing) dropped some hints that he was both writing for a (video) game, and the IDW turtles themselves were supposedly involved in a "secret project". For the longest, we were convinced that this had something to do with the tabletop TMNT game that IDW was putting out sometime early next year, but then that was basically de-bunked.
So this "announcement" coming along, and pieces falling together as they are, just makes things line even better...

Alright I didn't care about Transformers but this I can get behind
Please god yes. This universe deserves some DVD movies or something.
Look at the credits, there's a lot of developers involved behind the platinum games logo. Bee Tribe being the main development force.
DAT TURTLE JIZZ ALL OVAH MAH FACE!!!
holy shit, even the van looks angry. dayum, those turtles looked angry as fuck back then in the 80s. i fucking loved the cartoon and the toys back then... i wonder if platinum is able to catch the ultimate turtle experience as konami was able to do with turtles in time back then...
Which is also sort of what a lot of the old toy boxes had their art basis in:
I'll waiver my "few shitty minigame segments" stance due to a Turtle Van segment being absolutely fucking mandatory.

I think we should also remember that more PG Transformers games are coming, as Activision wants to it into a trilogy of games.
Anyway, TMNT is a great fit for PG. I hope they really nail the co-op action. Online play is a must, and I'd love to seem them include the loot system that Transformers had, which was a complete surprise.

Definitely.
If this leads into the IDW series getting their own figures and maybe even their own Direct-to-DVD specials (which would make sense, if this game likely gives the IDW-verse its official vocal cast!), that would just make me so very, very happy.
They have actual noses with nostrils in the comics now?
Can't seem to find any examples on google.

My god. Can you imagine if they did it, and created a rendering style that atually looks like Robbi Rodriguez's artwork?
You know Platinum could knock that out of the park.

I'm gonna be sad if this is based on the idw turtles. That's the lone version of tmnt I don't like at all.

If it's half as good as the Arcade game made by SEGA.
Then I'll be happy.

Please be good!
Agreed. It was my favorite style of all the cartoons.
However, I thought it went downhill after the first season's promising start.
It tried hard to adapt some of the Mirage VOL.1's comics' storylines to a saturday morning format while toning down the violence and blood quite a bit - in the end, in my opinion, that was the show's downfall: not knowing its target audience.
And that's a big loss.
They don't have nostrils, I don't even think they have them in that model at the top of the page. I think that's just pencil lines.

It's a garbage series.

For some reason I should have expected this.
Platinum has a great formula on their hands. They can easily churn out 1-2 licensed releases a year, by pulling ideas & mechanics from their other titles.

I was disappointed in the last Turtle release on XBLA/PSN, it had good intentions with nice little touches such as Turtle Power as the main menu music but the game itself was a chore to play. I hope platinum delivers

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
It doesn't work in the movie because they were ugly there. In IDW it works because they don't.
I like the Nick designs the best myself because each Turtle is uniquely designed and easily identifiable. The comic book/80s/90s turtles just look exactly the same.
I also enjoyed its self-aware brand of humor in the first season.
2k3 did it first, also in the mirage comics despite lacking color and being similar you can outright tell which one is which due to personality and well... weapons.
With that said I never finished TMNT2012 because of that, had that self-referential, "lol random" humor and the show never found its place. Apparently they eventually fixed that but personally I feel it's too late for me to enjoy it.
