"Bayonetta 2" is being developed by Platinum Studios but recently, one of the developers on the "Metal Gear Rising" team took sometime to discuss the some deals he did not want to make with the studio for the recent title.
According to a report from OXM today, Kojima Productions developer Yuji Korekado said when they decided to move the development of the game into Platinum Studios, he had a hard time dealing with that.
"When Kojima Productions decided to send the game to Platinum, it was definitely a dark period. People had put a lot of effort in, and they were in a dark hole.
"When Platinum visited the studio to get an update on the game, I was asked to present the current status to them. It was a very complex emotion: I wanted to keep developing the game internally, but Kojima wanted to move it forward. It was frustrating but I had to move forward with it.
"Fortunately for me, I was able to participate in the development even after it went to Platinum. After I realised it was going to go forward, I cut off all my sour feelings and just got on with the work.
"When I saw the first 'Revengeance' trailer, I realised it was something that Kojima Productions couldn’t have done – and that was something I felt great about," Korekado said.
