[Coffee Dog]

Oh hit damn. Please be real.

 

[Eolz]

Wow.
Hyped and a bit sad at the same time. I prefer when Platinum is on big projects.

 

[Boke1879]

SO GUYS! Are we thinking something akin to the Transformers game?

 

[ZealousD]

Serious question: why is acti of all people giving Platinum work.

It's making me concerned.

Platinum gives a game legitimacy and they are one of the few Japanese developers with their heads on straight. I bet in a bang-for-buck calculation they come up pretty highly. Gotta remember these guys saved MGS:Rising and did it both quicker and better than Konami could have imagined.

 

[Anth0ny]

oh man

platinum getting so much work

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Please for the love of God be true.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

I was concerned that Platinum might have been spreading themselves thin before this announcement. Maybe they've hired more people.

 

[NotLiquid]

I really hope this gets the Transformers Devastation treatment as opposed to the Korra treatment.

 

[RE_Player]

Serious question: why is acti of all people giving Platinum work.

It's making me concerned.

Platinum is probably cheap considering the quality they spit out.

 

[Benzychenz]

Rated M!?

M in Australia means nothing.

There's a further MA15+ rating which is the equivalent of NA's M.

I bought the PS2 Classic a little while ago. UK here

And it's not on the AU store, probably because it hadn't been rated yet.

 

[Seven Force]

On one hand, nice to see this partnership continuing.

On the other hand, since Transformers only just released, this is probably the Korra team.

Should be interesting to see what style they go with here, though.

 

[Jotamide]

Finally, a licensed game that will be as long as an episode of the show.

Haha

Hopefully more like Transformers and less like Korra.

 

[Leafhopper]

Won't touch DA GAWD tho

That isn't TMNT 4.

 

[rikichi]

Fuuuuu if this is anything like the transformers game I'll be like in heaven!

 

[Olengie]

Im down for this

 

[Nibel]

Rocksteady weren't ready. Amateur hour is over, the pros are taking over now

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I wanted this to happen but did think it would. I'm all in, especially after Transformers Devastation.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Serious question: why is acti of all people giving Platinum work.

It's making me concerned.

They're flexible. They can work with smaller budgets and dev cycles, they can handle multiple projects at a time and they've proven to be adept at handling a wide range of tones and styles. Plus they're critically acclaimed so it rubs some goodwill off on Acti.

 

[Guymelef]

There's also a new Suikoden III rating. I dunno what's up with that. Native PS4/PSV port or do studios really need to re-rate all their PS2 Classics for PS4?

PEGI had to rate Suikoden III when it was launched on EU Store, keep in mind PS2 version never was launched in Europe.

 

[Takao]

'Re-rate'? Suikoden 3 never released for PAL on PS2.

But it was released in Europe as a PS2 Classic earlier this year.

edit: Oh, nvm. Looks like Suikoden III isn't out in Australia on PS3 yet.

 

[antitrop]

Holy motherfuck

I was just playing Transformers yesterday and said to myself "I hope someone lets them do a Ninja Turtles game like this"

 

[-Horizon-]

Rated M?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Buying physical and digital. Day 1. Turtle power

 

[reptilescorpio]

Activison going all in with Platinum for licensed games
Now I await the inevitable Platinum Deadpool game

That would be fucking amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!

 

[RK128]

Serious question: why is acti of all people giving Platinum work.

It's making me concerned.

Ever since Kora was a hit for them, Platinum and Activision have a deal which they work on a game based on an IP they have the game rights too every year (at least it seems that way).

So if this streak continues, it will work like this:
-2014: Legend of Korra
-2015: Transformers Devastation
-2016: TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan
-2017: Spider-Man (they own the game rights I think?)
-2018: G.I. Joe or Transformers Devastation 2
-2019: TMNT 2/Spider-Man 2

 

[Roubjon]

This is one of those dream game scenarios.

 

[The Flash]

^

Yep

 

[GnawtyDog]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rocksteady would of been my dream but Platinum will do nicely.

 

[Zach]

Oh heck yes.

 

[DeathSparks]

OH MY GOD YES, Time to celebrate with vanilla ice

 

[The12thGripper]

Holy shit.

Platinum really is making everything.

 

[Sawneeks]

holy shit, i'm down.

 

[Willy Wanka]

A Platinum made TMNT game? Oh yes, I'm in.

 

[jmizzal]

HOLY CRAP

Didnt care about Transformers or Korra but this is day one

 

[Herbspiceguy]

I wish Platinum got a decent budget for this.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

If it's as good as transformers I'm in day one

 

[Nirolak]

Well, if nothing else, Activision loves working with them.

 

[Toki767]

I would be okay if Activision just gave Platinum Games all of their licensed IP.

Spider-Man/Spider-Gwen next.

Or X-Men. Someone has to put that license to use.

 

[TreIII]

Rated M?

If it at all meant that we were going to get a game styled more after the Mirage or IDW runs, that'd be an answer to a prayer.

And maybe FINALLY get TMNT out of the "gaming ghetto" that it's been in for like the last decade or so.

 

[wild wild rice]

Licensed games starting to outnumber original IPs is disheartening.

 

[Scavenger]

Please let it be based on the 2K3 series. It's my favorite incarnation of the TMNT and I think Platinum can do something amazing in the 2K3 style.

 

[GnawtyDog]

If only we could get a Korra game with a decent budget.

 

[Chû Totoro]

Will see. I hope the game ends up being good but for once I imagine Ubi could have been better for a new TMNT game. Ubi Art Teams especially when I think about what they could do with the 2012 TV artstyle.

Edit : lol

Please let it be based on the 2K3 series. It's my favorite incarnation of the TMNT and I think Platinum can do something amazing in the 2K3 style.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Oh Fuck. I'm holding everything in until the announcement.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Damm Activision, just buy them already.

Spoiler

Please dont

 

[Regiruler]

I was really thinking the other way around. Activision has been known to be a brutal publisher, and Platinum liks to have more control than what is typical of an Activision studio. Why would Platinum continue to work with them?

 

[Wesker28]

Cowabunga! Go ninja, go ninja go!

Isn't the Korra team the same one that made Transformers?

Either way, Korra suffered due to being rushed and not having enough development time (likely was only worked for 6-8 Months before being released).

Give that team more development time (two years if they didn't make Transformers) and they have more then enough time to make a fantastic TMNT game .
