Platinum Games: "Would have to see demand" for MG:Revengeance Wii U port

If they aren't working on it already, a port would end up being released so late after the original that it would be pointless.

No. They're working with Konami for this project.
I'm just fed up with new platforms getting the short end of the stick. I went into the PS Vita, and Wii U so far very enthusiastic, and excited to play games on both platforms. As actual hardware goes, I really like both systems. Can't really blame Platinum Games, cuz like a lot of people have already said, this is Konami doing this. We got 2 awesome games from them on the way on Wii U. It's just the fact that new platforms are constantly being screwed on more games that piss me off.
I got a PS3, I got an xbox 360...I can play MGR on other platforms, it doesn't affect me, but I want my new systems to continue getting support. That being said, I also want the games to be worth my purchase. I think there are just too many publishers scared of taking risks, so they don't see these platforms as a worthwhile endevour. Bull shit! Like I keep saying, you're not gonna make tons of money instantly on new platforms unless you put actual effort into the games on it. They have to understand that consumers are not stupid, especially day 1 buyers. We do our research, I know that your port on the Wii U had shitty framerate, I know that your game is $30 cheaper on other platforms. Stop insulting us, and then you'll make money off of us.

they'll move onto a D+O game next... which is a win for everyone.
lol konami has shown more support for kinect than Wii U

No. Bayo 2 and W101 have nothing to do with Konami. This is not the choice of Platinum games.

No. They are not an internal developer for any publisher.

If this does convince Konami to bring Metal Gear Rising Revengeance to Wii U, than this means only one thing.
Ground Zeroes Wii U
There's a better chance of Rising happening than that.

Wii U demand sounds a bit like a silent protest.
Considering how 3rd party games have looked/run on wiiU compared to ps360 there is zero reason to go with the wiiU version of a multiplatform game.
Imagine Vanquish in some stupid resolution downscaled, mega AA and at 60fps.

Here is an idea : Portstarter. Developer sets a target at which it would be worthwhile to port the game to a given console. If enough people pledge the game price to meet the target, then the port gets made and they get shipped their copy. If not, then the people get their money back, the developer doesn't waste money/resources on a port that won't sell well and nobody can complain about lazy/biased devs.

I think that would be an interesting experiment.
Wonderful 101 is nintendos ip. Platinum is making it for them. Bayonetta 2 is still segas ip but they found the build not to be worth a release and nintendo scooped it up.
Maybe they were making it and are just Pretending like they would be so merciful to give us poor nintendofans a decent game to play if we demanded it.
If its going to stay were it is right now and never sell a console to anyone ever again for the next years to come i agree with you

It won't happen, but at least Platinum isn't bullshitting people about it.

So you don't think konami will be watching to see How both those games do on Wii U? Lets say 100k fans sign a petition to make this happen, and Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 both sell like 100k units. Do you think Konami is going to go through with it?
I really do not agree with begging for a game to be on a system via petition or any other way. Konami doesn't want your money then fine. The reason isn't really important why at that point. They haven't cared when it comes to Nintendo consoles in a very long time. Don't throw yourself at their feet. That just shows them they can do anything and you'll come running looking for scraps. That gives them the impression they can continue to treat you anyway they wish. I feel the same way about EA. They don't and they have their reasons. I in turn won't spend any time worrying about them and will put my money towards other games from other companies. Put your money and time towards those that will support the system without any begging on your part. If you have a PS3/360 then get the game there.
Ehh, that's not necessarily true. Wii U offers several features not found on other consoles which might justify a purchase of its version over the others, even if the port ran worse (which it might not).
Probably not enough to justify it to me, but it's not that hard to imagine such a group of people existing.

Not interested. If you're going to be a complete ass and ask for consumers to beg, you might as well drop all pretenses and start a kickstarter.
how do you exist
I'm a pot of coffee by day, bottle of wine by night kinda guy
Well konami made awesome winning eleven games that nobody cared about on wii

No more late ports. Too bad you didn't wanted to bring it before, Platinum. Now there's no point in porting it.

Wow...thought Konami owned them for some reason. Probably due to all the Revengeance marketing recently.

Personally, no. By the time those games come out, MGR will be a distant memory. Even if W101 and Bayo 2 sell favorably, there is no guaruntee that an extremely late MGR port would match those sales. Too risky from a business standpoint when you look at other third party sales on the Wii U.
Like Dark Souls on PC?
Don't quote me on this but I think PC has a slightly better install base than Wii U
TGO
Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Obviously but will people want it then, and not everybody will buy it so the userbase threshold needs to be bigger to make it worth it and how long will that take.
how are you a pg fan when only one of their games wasn't released on the hd twins
i'd call you a madworld fan or something

People actually buy 3rd party games on PC though.
I dug Madworld. But. I've played a fair chunk of Bayonetta and Vanquish at other people's places. Not to mention a fan of Kamiya and the Crew in general. I'll follow him and his dope leather jackets everywhere
I'm certainly down for day one purchase of Wonderful 101, and I can't even say that about a lot of Nintendo's own games recently, including Pikmin 3
Trust me, if Konami owned Platinum, you'd see GAF wailing in agony for months to come, as Konami's record with any of its developers other than Kojima pretty much means a death sentence.

Wait so the company that is developing Bayonetta 2 (edit: and Wonderful 101) exclusively for the Wii U needs to see demand for Revengence to release it on the Wii U?
I understand the difference of publishers, but oh the irony.

The talent at Platinum didn't fall from the sky. People are smart enough to remember these are the guys who made pretty much ALL of Capcom's best new IPs during the PS2/GCN/Xbox generation. That memory does not fade.

At least Platinum is being honest, IMO. If Konami see's enough demand they would order a port for Wii U. That's a much better response then most developers have given similar questions regarding potential Wii U ports. I can at least respect the answer.
Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Unless it involves purchasing games they've actually produced. Sure, you're a "fan".
