His last 3 games have had, and I'm just approximating here, at least a million dragon variants despite their central themes.
I'm sure none of his madness will be centered,

Chance of buying an Xbox 1 just increased by roughly 489 % for me
Looks AMAZING, and I've loved all Kamiya's games so far

As long as Platinum designs the gameplay, I'm fine with an American team doing the heavy-lifting on the engine, assets, etc.
Don't have an Xbone, no plans on getting one, but I'm getting this day 1. I'll play it on someone else's machine.
As for the game's art style, I don't care too much. There are tons of great-looking games out there, but only a few of those play as well as a typical Kamiya game. A more interesting style would have been preferable, but it will play like heaven.
It's the Platinum cycle, isn't it. Every time there are comments worrying about the gameplay, and 9 out of 10 times the game turns out playing great.

A page or some more back, some western guy was named creative producer, so that's a strong hint that a good part of creative control is at MS. Would explain that the trailer feels so different.
You mean Dearth surely.
That westerner has been in P* forever and he is a GAFer.

The game is funded by MS, it wouldn't exist without them. They probably know it won't sell, it's a game made to draw in the core crowd. That's the way Platinum Games work. It'll certainly draw me in, whenever it releases in a few years.

He's JP Kellams who works at Platinum.
Why is he so mad?
It is just the same old question, he can just copy/paste or ignore it.

...JP works for Platinum.

JP Kellams has been with Platinum since the Clover days... And he posts on GAF, he's a really cool guy.
It's not like a Playstation 4 title would do much better the way things are currently going over there.
But yeah, just like with the WiiU games, this is funded by the platform holder. PG don't have much choice in what platforms they bring it to.
Yeah, basically this. Games like this aren't meant to sell systems en masse, but they do attract a handful of hardcores like ourselves, who then act as ambassadors evangelizing the system to our family and friends.

Sounds a lot like what people were saying about TW101 when it was revealed. I'll put my trust in Kamiya and Platinum until they give me a reason not to.
And you're here acting like a dick on NeoGAF. It's like rain on your wedding day or something

Yup, Platinum has that effect on me too. Hopefully the X1 will be super cheap by 2016.
Platinum are the best

On the negative side, damn it, I didn't want to have to own all 3 next gen (current gen?) consoles.
On the positive side, this probably won't be released until late 2015, so there's plenty of time to get that second job

You have a point
I'm actually going to be re-buying one

Oh man, I'd nearly forgotten. I simply do not understand why they did that. The entire conference left me feeling empty. It started on a promising note with a lovely look at NSMBU and Pikmin 3, which looked quite impressive, but then it quickly veered off into dancing and karaoke and armored Batman. And while Nintendo Land wound up being an AMAZING game (seriously one of the best party titles ever), ending the conference on that note with canned fireworks was so anticlimactic. So they do all of that, and then, when the show is over, they decide to show off a brand-new P* game. Like, what?
What they -should've- done is excised all that dance/karaoke/Batman shit (note: I love Arkham City, but ports at E3? Please), and replaced it with a huge hands-on of TW101, so people would appreciate all the intricacies of the demo (which was admittedly awesome and made a believer out of me from the onset). Someone live-demoing it and explaining the mechanics and myriad GamePad uses would've done more to impress people skeptical about WiiU than... any of that other stuff.

I will wait and see on this. It does have that Dmc kind of vibe with the protagonist.
I'm surprised so many people are calling this monster hunter inspired. It's like when people call any dark fantasy game Dark Souls inspired.

Best of luck to Kamiya, I am pretty sure he's going to have a breakdown from all the idiots spamming him at Twitter

Okay, I'm converted. Getting an Xbone as well as a PS4 then. My poor wallet...I already feel like crying every time I open it.
Tough times...

They actually managed to make a dragon sequence boring- none of the design seems cohesive.
And were those some mock form of Beats? HOW COOOOL

Halo 1-3 MP in 1080p/60fps/dedicated servers pretty much sealed the deal on me getting a Xbone this year. Kamiya from nowhere/phantom dust were just extra, tbh
agreed, and it's something i've always wanted to see more of: the west and the east using the best of both worlds to create something magnificent. very curious to see how this ends up

You make it sound that there isn't a bunch of boring dragons in videogames.

Would be more interested if it weren't a fully CG reveal. Just curious for now.
The second I saw Kamiya come out all I could think was "Gaf is gonna be so pissed". The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta for Wii U announcements made enough people rage, but to be on a Microsoft console? I knew people here wouldn't be happy. I can't judge the game until we get gameplay, at this point it is just a movie.

I'm pretty much in the same situation, but I also have Remedy's Quantum Break to look forward to. Hopefully when both of those games are out the XBone will have dropped price a little more. My poor wallet won't be able to handle 3 consoles.
