| Mr Khan said: It could make it sound like Platinum themselves was in a weaker position than they are. It will be interesting to see who they get work from going forward, though. W101 was a disaster, and while Bayonetta might do better (it will sell better than W101 for sure, but to what degree. If Nintendo calls them back, it'll be to farm their IPs (which would be a good thing indeed, c'mon StarFox). But how much original work is Platinum going to get from anyone after this point? And that, of course, defeats the point of Platinum founders leaving Capcom to do independent work. |
So far Platinum is happy working with Nintendo, and I think they could be open to the idea of becoming a second party developer. I don't believe that Platinum can remain an independent developer for too long.
