Inaba-san teased the existence of a “formless, shapeless IP” that he can’t talk about today. Interestingly, he also mentioned that on top of the new IP, it’s also going to involve a new director, and it’s going to be interesting to see how that new director will grow, and how he will help PlatinumGames grow as a company as well.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Scalebound.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

It'll be called "I have a huge fucking dragon with me", no relation to Scalebound.

Edit: If they were to make a spiritual successor to God Hand, I'd have no problem with that either.

 

[katsubento]

Gimme.

[Dark Cloud]

Please be at E3!! I want to see this new "formless, shapeless" IP. I wonder if the main character has no shape?

IGN has been at P* this week

 

[Mediking]

Will either be PS4 or Switch exclusive.

Prolly PS4.

 

[JimmyF]

Not-Scalebound

 

[zeromcd73]

Inaba-san added that he doesn’t know if the studio will keep up the pace of one title per year, but they’re looking forward to make new games for the fans.

2017 - Nier Automata
2018 - Granblue Fantasy RE Link
2019- ???

Possibly 2019 for this than?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Will either be PS4 or Switch exclusive.

Prolly PS4.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

First thing that came to mind.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Will either be PS4 or Switch exclusive.

Prolly PS4.

They do have a switch game in development, keep in mind.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Could they be developing it by themselves if they are the ones teasing it?

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

MS and Platinum kissed and made up, kinda and they announce Scalebound is back in development during E3.


In a different kind of reality of course. In our reality it's dead as can be. Wonder what this could be and for what platforms.

 

[GrayChild]

I really don't see them tying the game for one specific console if they are owning the IP as rumored.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Wonder how many projects Platinum has in development.

Saito is working on Granblue right?

 

[KainXVIII]

Metroidetta

[TannerDemoz]

Switch-bound

 

[Tratorn]

Damn, I posted this like 2 hours ago in the "E3 2017 - Hopes. Dreams. Predictions"-thread:

Probably won't happen, but let me dream:
...
New PG game (likely for Switch). I fully expect that so the game is not a "dream" by itself, just that it gets shown at this E3 already.
...

Is it already time?

 

[jj984jj]

Nice. Hopefully this one does well from the start. I wonder who's the publisher.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Will either be PS4 or Switch exclusive.

Prolly PS4.

Why would it have to be a PS4 exclusive game? They've said they're working on games for the Switch.

 

[Nestunt]

Maybe the MS trademark renew is related to this. They know P* will announce a new IP during E3, not on their platform, and don't want to look weak.

 

[AAMARMO]

Probably not for Switch it could be a PC,PS4 game, with multiple protagonists.

 

[JBwB]

Hipster bound?

 

[SprachBrooks]

Scalefound.

Ehh.... Where are you getting this from? We don't know a single thing about this new IP but you already know Xbox isn't getting it? Jez Corden said it was renewed to avoid copyright issues in the future.

Introducing newly contracted director at Platinum Games,

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Mystery director is Itagaki.

 

[Akiller]

Could they be developing it by themselves if they are the ones teasing it?

Was wondering the same, it might be Platinum's first self funded game, the big goal the company has always wanted to achieve.

If so it'll be something modest budget wise, but they gotta start from somewhere and i can see them releasing it on PC and consoles (Switch included).

Based on what? Platinum has literally already said they're developing for the Switch, and we know from them saying they'd like to.poet Nier if SE paid them that it's not that.

PlatinumGames – Atsushi Inaba

PlatinumGames has already come out saying we’re developing games for the Nintendo Switch, so we understand what the hardware is capable of.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Mystery director is Itagaki.

I wish. This would be the best thing ever. Itagaki and Kamiya in the same room, haha.

 

[jacobeid]

Do want.

 

[Acquiescence]

Scalebound looked very formless/shapeless based on the footage shown, so it could be that.

 

[fersnake]

Introducing newly contracted director at Platinum Games,
