How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future

From VGC: "A common theme in our interviews with PlatinumGames over the past few years has been control.

When I first visited the studio’s Osaka, Japan headquarters in March 2019 – two months before the launch of VGC – I reflected on how it spent its first decade making glitzy work-for-hire projects for publishers such as Sega, Konami and Nintendo, but in the process giving away ownership of its own original franchises.

Sprawled across the carpet in Platinum’s vibrant lobby area are numerous critically-praised IPs created by the studio, from the stylish Mad World and Vanquish, to the excellent-but-overlooked Wonderful 101 and its iconic action game Bayonetta."

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo12h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9012h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19893h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan12h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno11h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198112h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6693h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 2h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
