I don't think you know who that is.

He knows exactly who that is.

 

[Leafhopper]

I don't think you know who that is.

I am pretty sure I know that I don't care for Smash anymore after 4 games and being pretty lukewarm on both Brawl and Smash 4 and Sakurai doesn't overlook Kirby games anymore that much and they are just fine. I am pretty sure I know who that is.

I guess you don't. His games don't suck.

 

[Leafhopper]

I guess you don't. His games don't suck.

It's a matter of opinion and I don't think he has it anymore. I really don't think his design sensibilities match with Platinum anyway. At least from a gameplay point of view.

Not saying all of his games suck either since I liked them in the past lol.

GOD HAND 2 CONFIRMED

The time to do that would have been right after Vanquish, when they still had both of the main guys behind God Hand in-house

 

[Dark Cloud]

It's a matter of opinion and I don't think he has it anymore.

Ok

 

[Astral Dog]

meh
sounds formless

Kid Icarus Uprising is about the most Platinum non-Platinum game I've ever played.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Hopefully it's not an exclusive and everyone can play it. And hopefully it has nothing to do with scalebound cause that game looked bad and everyone knows it.

Hmm. I guess in terms of almost always rail shooter you may be right.

 

[Chao]

Let me take a guess: it will play and feel like metal gear rising or bayonetta, but it will feature a different character and theme.

Play like a refined Godhand, more likely

With Bruce Lee kicking people out of the frame. Gonna be glorious.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Curious what this new director will bring.

You wish.neither MadWorld or Nier or Wonderful 101 or TMNT or Korra or Transformers are that similar to Bayo unfortunately

 

[Frankenstrat]

hand to hand martial arts plat game? could be amazing

God please yes

 

[The Horror the horror]

Has PG ever made a first-person game?

 

[ASaiyan]

It's not the Kill la Kill game the Rising director said he'd be interested in doing.
But it should be, dammit. My body is ready.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Has PG ever made a first-person game?

Nope.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Curious what this new director will bring.

Same here, seems like they already have a bunch of good directors.

 

[MAtgS]

Switchbound.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Well, NieR: Automata is a better game overall than the Bayonettas, so it has that going for it. It doesn't have the combat depth, but it's not exactly a character action game, either. Of course, if you're mostly interested in bombastic boss fights and the depth of its combat, I can see why Bayonetta would be a preference.

 

[Raitaro]

Ooh, that would be sweet. Is there any good modern unarmed martial arts game that's not a 1v1 fighter?

Like I mentioned earlier, perhaps the upcoming Absolver will fill that void. It's a Souls-ish, third-person action-adventure game - centered around martial arts - set in an interconnected world made by a French indie team (Sloclap) and published by Devolver. It's set for release in August. Reception of demo builds so far has been quite positive.

We need a good grappling hook game these days.

Two things Kid Icarus Uprising is great at Platinum is usually bad at - writing and rail shooter segments.

 

[Andyliini]

Mysterious? As in Murasame Castle?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

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

Helix Origins

 

[Wesley-Sigma]

New director is exciting. Ready to see what they are made of.

Bayonetta is one of if not the best character action game ever.

Can you say the same for Nier Automata as an action game or as an RPG?

 

[The Greek Freak]

Please either scalebound on other platform (their coolest looking game I've seen) or Vanquish 2 (their coolest playing game I've played).

 

[Outrun]

shinobi

it's shinobi, folks

Don't play with me like that...

 

[Regiruler]

Introducing newly contracted director at Platinum Games,

This would be the greatest game of all time

[Ganondorfo]

Its been a while since Platinumgames made a masterpiece like Metal Gear and Vanquish and Bayonetta 2. They should make another game like that again.

 

[Speely]

Formless, shapeless...

"Be water, my friend."

Water-bending. They are going to give The Legend of Korra another go guys. :/

 

[Luminaire]

They did. It's called NieR Automata.

Can you say the same for Nier Automata as an action game or as an RPG?

I can't, but that's only because I hold quite a few action RPGs far above character action games. So while NieR: Automata may not be the best in its genre, it's still the best game Platinum has been involved with in my eyes.

 

[Kastrioti]

hand to hand martial arts plat game? could be amazing

Seriously, can't wait to see what it is

 

[javadoze]

A Switch project is a given, but I sincerely hope Platinum can get to make their independently-published game soon.

 

[EDarkness]

Please either scalebound on other platform (their coolest looking game I've seen) or Vanquish 2 (their coolest playing game I've played).

Can they even do that without paying Microsoft for the code? I would imagine they own not just the name, but the code and systems as well.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Can they even do that without paying Microsoft for the code?

No.

 

[LotusHD]

Should be interesting, can't wait to see what it is.

They did. It's called NieR Automata.

*nods approvingly

 

[TheDinoman]

That's why Sakurai should direct and write it, like how Yoko Taro was still in charge of Nier Automata even if PlatinumGames was the primary developer.

[JayEH]

Let's hope it's something fresh. They need a real shake up with things.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Yeah, that completely misses the point of the game. It was as tight as it was because it was on rails, and when on ground, in small dense areas

 

[MiddeSummer]

Whatever this game is, I hope it is for a stable and pleasant system.

Spoiler

Edit: But I have a PS4 just-in-case.

I didn't hear good things about that on here which is why I didn't buy it.

 

[Speely]

Hehe same. Luckily, it wouldn't be a "new IP" so I think we are good.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Incidentally the best aspect of the game was the combat.
