Im sure if platinum had a 'retro' type relationship with nintendo, big things would ensue.
I'd say nintendo judge pg more for the quality of their games and their reputation rather than their sales record...and presumably their potential to work with some nintendo ips (don't forget platinum also made the viewtiful joe games and the original okami, when they were clover, both of which were pretty nintedoish, so its stupid to say they only make mature/non nintendo style games)

I said they have a reputation of making original IPs AND violent/mature games. And they do

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_Games#Games_developed

+MadWorld_ original IP, violent/mature

+Infinite Space_original IP. Space Sim/RPG

+Bayonetta_ original IP, violent/mature

+Vanquish_ original IP, violent/mature

+Anarchy Reigns_ unofficial sequel to MadWorld. Violent/mature.

+Metal Gear Rising: Revengance_ hired by Konami. Violent/mature

+The Wonderful 101_ original IP. "Kiddy" appearance

+Bayonetta 2_ sequel. Violent/mature

 

One think is what they did at Clover, and another is what they have done as Platinum.

Deflection.

How is stating fact deflection it's the truth, you now are the one deflecting.

When you'll have more posting experience in an intelligent forum like this one, you'll understand what I mean.

LOL yes, the amount of times you post on an internet forum means a lot and is indicitive of intelligence. WOW, heard it all. Sorry, totally irrelevant and a pretty pathetic point really.

I approve of this marriage. Get Platinum to work on some Nintendo franchises! (and Vanquish 2)

The only reason Nintendo would woo Platinum would be if they were dead serious about winning back core gamers in the non-platforming demographics and were willing to take losses on that front.  They're probably doing that with Bayonetta 2, which probably won't sell that well, though it remains to be seen if that's a token attempt or not.

Yeah, and there are more effective and cost efficient ways of doing that, like courting third parties whose games actually sell to just give Wii U roughly equitable treatment when it comes to multiplatform games.

Since this was just Kamiya talking off the cuff as usual it's completely meaningless, especially since he has no say so in Platinum's business decisions anyway, but if it did happen the only way that Nintendo could make it work commercially would be to have Platinum making games in established Nintendo IPs. Which would mean quality games (though Nintendo already does those in house, so... why?) and could be great for things like the hypothetical Kamiya-directed Star Fox everyone is all wet about. But it would also be sad in a way because crazy new IPs is where Platinum really shines (just not at retail).

oh yes
Hopefully, there is a massive meltdown because i need a good laugh


Over platinum games?? I doubt anyone even cares.

Bayonetta 2 mean anything to you?


No lol.


well apparently it does to the other Sony and MS dudes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkUBfD5SCqU

you know you're doing things right when the entire MS and Sony communities on the internet switch their gears to "Maximum Butthurt" mode.

Doing the right things? How? By being blasted by next gen consoles ina  few months? horrid developer support and bad sales?

reminds me of the PS3 at launch, lol XD

Ps3 did have a poor launch, what does that have to do with the present?

It sold less than 150k in 6 months. The only way it would have crwaled to that is a fire sale. In which case my point still stands

It sold less than 150k in the US in 6 months. That means little. VGChartz places the first nine months at 215k, which would suggest just 5000 a week on average over the holiday period. Does this honestly sound unreasonable to you?

Now add on European data - that's another 120k in the first nine months. Concluding that it only sold the numbers it sold because of a "fire sale" is the equivalent of concluding that the only reason the PS2 managed to sell so well was people buying multiple units because they kept breaking, or claiming that Xbox 360 sales were inflated due to people buying new systems when their older ones RRoD'd. While there might be a kernel of truth (lower price sold more copies), the overall claim is ludicrously false.

Is this guy serious? How can he see his future with Nintendo when he's just made the bomba of the year?

They have to unveil projects for other consoles ASAP. They have people waiting for their games outside the Nintendo world. Why can't they understand that!? It hurts so much to read things like that...

They already are. Anytime a 3rd party developers IP is owned by another company they are a 2nd party developer.

I didnt read it but does he mean something different?
