Well when you have the creator of Resident Evil and ex Devil May Cry Talent and the makers of Okami,Godhand and Viewtiful joe,not just talented but some of the best in the industry. |
You can never rely on individuals to support the entire team, though. I have to see a team work well together, before I start having faith in a dev's ability. The number of hotshots that have started dismal flops in the games industry is downright staggering.
MadWorld, I believe, is Platinum's first game to hit store shelves. The reviews bode well for them, although the sales may possibly doom them to a Looking Glass/Irrational (so many great games I don't know where to begin) fate, somewhere down the road. Flopping, ref orming, flopping, reforming... and in the end, finally saved by a big publisher recognizing their awesome talents, and willing to do some decent advertising (end result: BioShock).
However, while MadWorld is probably too gruesome for the typical Wii owner to even consider purchasing, I think Bayonetta has a lot of potential, and is placed well in its platform demographic.
