They're being asked to make a Western focused game and they can't do it.
Whoever is the producer/handling the project on Microsoft's end has no passion for the games P make.
To be fair Platinum has been pretty poor in working with first parties before, Star Fox has a bad reputation.
W101 is the best but not earth shattering
The best games they've had (Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear) were all with third party Japanese companies.
Bayonetta started as a third party game that's why N didn't screw it over.
P tried to appeal to the Nintendo crowd with SF and W101 and failed.
P tries to appeal to Microsoft gamers and we get this shite.
P should stop working with hardware partners... Maybe Sony Japan is a better fit, but let's not risk it.
(To be fair maybe the game just looks shit now but is good later.)
