Platinum I love you forever

 

[Sayter]

Someone needs to make a thread highlighting all of PlatinumGames showings from this years E3.

I would. But I stink at making threads.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Platinum are the support beam for the Japanese gaming industry at this point. Holyshit.

 

[EloquentM]

With the state of wii u and its games coming out the rest of the year and early 2016 I think it's safe to say everything is NX at Nintendo right now. No surprises of Zelda debuts with the console. More and more it's looking like a console and even though I fought it the possibility for it being a hybrid is rising.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Platinum making a dozen games with the same amount of people Ubisoft needs to make an Assassins creed game.

 

[hatchx]

And if Nintendo have any sense it's not on Wii U. Would you put that much effort into a game for a console coming off the kind of year Wii U is about to go through?

Mario Tennis, Star Fox, Fatal Frame, Xenoblade X, Yoshi, and crappy Animal Crossing party game isn't a bad holiday exclusive lineup. 2015 is almost on part for 2014 with WiiU.

With that said, I agree, give me it as an NX launch title at this point. WiiU will be chugging along horribly by end of 2016.

 

[gamergirly]

oh cool

 

[jj984jj]

Man this reminds me of when Grasshopper Manufacture blew up and was making like ten things at once

Platinum always had several projects ongoing since they announced their partnership with Sega to begin with. Don't turn this into something it's not.

 

[Regiruler]

I'm not sure why you people are thinking this is an NX game when it was touted as one of two projects designed specifically with the gamepad in mind

Unless the NX is in fact the next home console and does use the gamepad

 

[Ushojax]

well yeah but even the stuff from last year that Nintendo made it seem Miyamoto was rolling up his sleeve and getting knee deep back into Wii U development to try and get some software out on the system turns out is all being made by Platinum.

Well by the end of the year we will have got Splatoon, Kirby, Xenoblade X, Yoshi, Mario Maker, Mario Tennis, Art Academy and StarFox. That's not bad. The trouble is that Nintendo is still spread way too thin across 2 platforms (one dead) and just can't produce enough software, hence the abundance of farmed out spinoffs.

I'm sure they are still working on a few Wii U games. They just aren't ready.

 

[InsaneZero]

Is Platinum Games the biggest developer in Japan right now or what? They are making everything this E3.

Platinum handles projects in a nice and timely manner (read: great for budgeting) with a certain degree of quality and style. They aren't the biggest developer, but they are very efficient.

Yeah its time to move on

 

[Permanently A]

Quick make the dolan everything was platinum pic

 

[Hero of Legend]

Okay another for the ever growing list at E3:

Star Fox Zero (Wii U by Hashimoto)
Transformers Devastation (PS3/360/PS4/XBO/PC by Kenji Saito)
Project Guard (Wii U also by Platinum Games, unknown who's directing it)
Nier 2 (PS4 by Yoko Taro)

And a freebie:

Scalebound (XBO by Hideki Kamiya)

EVERYTHING IS PLATINUM GAMES! Wow.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

so has Nitnendo internal dropped the Wii U entirely?

Considering they are announcing a new platform next year, combined with the handheld and console unity talk, it makes sense to outsource work for the remaining projects while the internal teams work on the new hardware.

 

[massoluk]

Platinum is really hard at work.

 

[Nanashrew]

EVERYTHING IS PLATINUM GAMES! Wow.

It's really amazing.

 

[clevbrowns94]

so has Nitnendo internal dropped the Wii U entirely?

Pretty much, except for minor games like Mario Tennis and the Animal Crossing spinoff. Everything else is probably saved for the NX, and that may include Zelda.

 

[Sendou]

One of Miyamoto’s E3 2014 experiments, Project Guard—a Wii U game about protecting a base from invaders using security cameras and turrets—is still in the works and still tied to the Star Fox universe. (The photo above is from last year.) Hayashi is overseeing it, also with the help of Platinum. Miyamoto said it is meant to be played online and that Nintendo is still figuring out if or how to release it in conjunction with Star Fox Zero.

Yeah this is true; but I think he stated that those ideas would end up in smaller-scaled games; I think Project Robo for example is part of StarFox now. Project Guard.. dunno, but that could be in there somewhere as well.

Their E3 showing proved that they are trying to ride out both 2015 and the Wii U; they better bring it next year.

 

[Deadpool_X]

So, Platinum is making Five Nights at Miyamoto's? Interesting? Something tells me it will be worked into StarFox Zero.

 

[Sendou]

Development of Giant Robo, another, less impressive E3 2014 experimental game is on hold.

NOOOOOOO

Hashimoto isn't directing star fox. Someone from the nintendo side is.

Miyamoto and Hayashi (who is the director of Project Guard and Star Fox Zero), discussed the idea of integrating Project Guard into the Star Fox universe with Platinum's help. The same team working on Star Fox. It's not separate project.

 

[pupcoffee]

Miyamoto is keeping mid-tier development alive at Nintendo.

 

[Shauni]

And if Nintendo have any sense it's not on Wii U. Would you put that much effort into a game for a console coming off the kind of year Wii U is about to go through?

It's going to be on the Wii U, don't be stupid.

 

[pizzacat]

You platinum freaks can't get hyped over this five nights at Freddy's thing right?
