I'm guessing it's like Revengeance in that it probably helps but not really required, as it it's own story.

Haven't really watched much of the show, but I love Platinum, so they got my pre order.

Game takes place after season 2 iirc.
It's my favorite cartoon/anime of all time. It's worth watching.

A new Platinum release for $15? Yeah, I'm interested.

Skip an episode titled "The Great Divide." There, there is now one less episode for you to watch.
It's such a bad episode that the creators admitted it was a mistake and considered not putting it on the DVDs.
Anarchy Reigns begs to differ. That being said, fingers crossed this is a fun one.
The $15 price point is honestly what has me worried because I feel like they sat down at a table and said "how much is this really worth?" whereas a lot of people make it seem like they said "let's cut everyone some slack and ship this nice and cheap"... If you understand what I'm getting at.

That's not really how these things work. They start out with a budget in mind, Nick looked at the list of available developers and suggested Platinum, they approached platinum with the scope and money they had projected, and they made that game.

OK, think I might start watching then. Have Bayonetta 2 for my Platinum fix until I've finished Book 2 of Korra.

Everything else they've put out has been great, all companies have a misstep somewhere (even though I personally enjoyed Anarchy Reigns a lot)

I feel like you're traditionally wrong with regards to things sucking.

At this point, I'll buy anything Platinum puts out, sight unseen. The only game of theirs I've disliked is Mad World, but the Wii Waggle Era was such a dark time in the histories of pretty much every multi-platform developer that I don't hold it against them.
The fact that they're making a game based on a show I already loved is just icing on the cake. I can't wait.

True, but that still begs the question "what can we make with this budget?" Which will impact the size and scope of the game.
People didnt like Anarchy Reigns.
This is a good one.

It'll probably be a short, corridor-driven game where you fight a bunch of enemies over and over as fast as you can.
So, standard Platinum fare.
Well of course, but what were you expecting?
The thing is though that the world, the characters and everything else already exists. They don't need to create any of that. The cutscenes also are being handled by someone else iirc.
PG just needed to worry about the actual game and combat. And even then they were able to borrow quite a bit from previous games ala DMC (style switching) and Bayonetta (moves, Beast Within etc.).
At the end of the day a budget PG game will still probably play way better than the majority of the stuff out there.

Preordered. I never saw the show, but I have seen the rule 34.
Wouldn't that be the other way around? Idk.

Store page is up on Steam, but no preorder option.
Yeah, it's been there for a few weeks at least.
My expectations are just that. I'm worried for the other people in some of these threads and for reviewers. I want a big budget version
That's true. I hope the content is varied enough though that I would want to replay it.
Eh, it came off like someone who saw The Godfather for the first time two months before and said, "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!" The execution was sloppy and the fact that Amon's intentions were ruined by petty revenge really cheapened the entire season.
Zaheer may have been an idiot, but he had conviction.

The Great Divide is from Avatar: The Last Airbender and not Korra just as an FYI. I really wonder how necessary the show will be to understanding the game. I'd wager it won't be very much and will just feed into the state of things at the start of Book 3.
Because people care about this resolutions thing so much: Atsushi Kurooka (the producer of the game) has confirmed that it's 1080p on both PS4 and Xbox One, 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360: https://twitter.com/PG_kurooka/status/523046287231311873
The only graphical options the PC version will have is setting the resolution: https://twitter.com/PG_kurooka/status/523048012247859201
And this should be obvious, but it will be 60fps: https://twitter.com/PG_kurooka/status/522187586152849408

Learn to binge, bro!
Wow, on Tuesday? That's bananas. That's 8pm my time!
Actually for the xbox versions, it out on Wednesday apparently.
