I had 0 interest in that game (I don't watch the TV show I don't even know what it goes about) until I read that Platinum is making it.

Also, it's quite extrange that Activision has gone to a quality studio to develop a game of a licensed IP. All what the publishers usually do with those games is hire the cheapest studio available, or that's the impression it gives. What's going on here?

What you never wondered how a studio that produces so many flops keeps getting work in today's market? I will give you a clue it's not because they charge a premium for their services. And Activision actually developed a lot of their licensed games inhouse but with most of their studios working on CoD or Skylanders and the others tied up with Spiderman and Transformers I guess it made sense to outsource this. And for a 3rd person action game their choices are really Platinum Games or Ninja Theory.

But despite that its games flop left and right, Platinum is heralded as a good, quality developer.

And I'm sure that there are other cheaper studios, yet they have decided to go with a "good" studio for this game. Which now that I mention it, it makes me wonder... How big is Platinum? Because they are working on Bayonetta 2 and Scalebound. Are they big enough to make 3 games at the same time?
