This is the first confirmation of it being fully outsourced, isn't it? We knew Nude Maker was partially working on it, but I didn't know it shunted that far out

Would be cool if it was a PSP game. Round off the console love they've been showing.
Really though, whatever it is you know it'll be good.
except if it's for phones

Honestly, I have no problem if its an iPhone game, as long as they do a good job of understanding the strengths of the iphone/ipod touch. My biggest problem with many iphone games is that developers don't really understand what's so great about the platform, and do shitty things like not support the music library, or superimpose button controls onto the touch screen.

These guys are SO AWESOME. God I can't wait to see how awesome their current projects turn out and what they do next.
Mikami actually confirmed himself on PG's blog that he was working on a new project, about a year ago. I even made a stealth thread about thatRegulus Tera said:

I thought Mikami's PG project was put on hold while he works with Suda on that EA project

I heard the EA project was cancelled when EA did that huge layoff.
I might be remembering wrong, though.

I thought Mikami was joining up with EA and Suda for a PS3/360/Wii game
in addition to working on his own solo project

I don't really get what's so special about Madworld.
It's a stylish game with a more "hardcore" mindset put behind it. And...it's a beat-em-up.
Remember when IGN covered the hell out of No More Heroes? It wasn't a bad game, certainly, because I know I enjoyed it. But really, it was a 7/10. Fun, but flawed. Who's to say that Madworld won't be the same?
People are going crazy over what's just going to be another solid game for Wii, it appears. To be honest, I'm much more excited for The Conduit, or, hell, even Sonic & the Black Knight.

If MadWorld is the same as No More Heroes, then that's justification for the hype.Rash said:

It's being made by superstar developers, directors, producers, and designers, so... that could account for it.

That pic is just sooooo telling...AAK said:
This should be the start of the official thread.
Rash said:
Because its an exclusive Wii game made by a talented team of developers backed up by one of the most successful publishers on the Wii, its also has interesting mix of humor and violence, an interesting art style that could have gone ended looking bad if done wrong but didnt, and a gameplay that has gotten positive feedback and is obviously inspired on Godhand.
Also, it DOES looks like a solid Wii game, unlike Sonic.

If you do not buy the games that PlatinumGames ends up releasing, you are an asshole. Plain and simple.
In my opinion, no developer deserves success more than they do.

Not trying to flame you, because you have every right to feel that way. With that said, I really felt that NMH always looked like a 7-ish piece of software. The videos of NMH were very telling, and it really gave an accurate picture of how it would play out, and the quality of the title itself. With Madworld though, its a bit different, because not only do the videos show nothing but good(still much we havent seen still), but its also backed by a VERY credible team. I think Madworld deserves a bit more hype, but it could still turn out as you say. Lord knows if the enemies are just walking around aimlessly, it will. That probably wont happen though, given how utterly brutal their other games have been.Rash said:
This game is much more of a "safe bet" than NMH.
Rash said:
No More Heroes was completely fucking crap, but I wouldn't put these at all on the same level.
Mad World is made by a competent developer brimming with talent, and No More Heroes was made by Suda 51. I mean it's easy to see from any of their products that the resulting title would have been mediocre at best. With Platinum Games and their head staff, you know they have concepts and crew that at the very least know what they're doing and at the very most are going to bring the fucking heat.
I don't care for Bayonetta's slut style, but the game is going to be fucking badass to play I bet. And that's 'cause Kamiya is the MAN.
And Mad World is gonna be awesome 'cause the collective power of their inherent talent, coupled with baddass art style and ultraviolence, means win.
No More Heroes was made by Suda 51/Grasshopper, which by comparison to the talent at Platinum Games is like putting a Little League Baseball team of Bumfuckville, Ohio against 1996-2000 New York Yankees.
Now until they can put something together with this talent, it still MAY turn out crap, but I'd say the odds are waaay better than they ever were for No More Heroes.

Excellent OP. Thanks!
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on there partner. Let's hold out on proclaiming Platinum Games masters of the universe for the time being. A fine pedigree, expectations, and gummy bears are all fine and dandy, but they've released jack fucking shit thus far, and nothing is guaranteed.
Geeze.

Awesome. You guys actually defended the cause and thoroughly made a discussion out of what I had to say about MadWorld.
I respect your efforts, and have even changed my outlook because of them.
Score one for the gaffers!

For all of the mess a lot of gaffers cause(and all the threads they flood), the ones who respect each others opinions and have an honest, mature discussion about things really make up for it. Its a beautiful thing, because there are some great minds on here.Rash said:

You... you do know he had this announced since January last year right?
He's also making a Survival Horror game with EA, Suda51, and Q Entertainment.

I fully expect MadWorld to eclipse No More Heroes because it looks to both have kickass style and gameplay. Suda really needs an editor something to make the 'game' parts of his games better. That would actually be Mikami and EA!
