Eskimo Press: Since Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was revealed, there have been a lot of heated arguments on message boards and comments sections across the web about this new game in the Metal Gear franchise. With such a popular high profile franchise it is natural that there are a lot of both positive and negative reactions from the fans. One of our editors sounds off on why he thinks it will be a rocking game.
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
In a wide-ranging interview with IGN, game developer legend Hideki Kamiya reveals why he left Bayonetta maker PlatinumGames and what's next.
Long shot here but with him out of the picture... MS could get PG to finish Scalebound. As it is, the project was shelved and Ms still had all the work they had done up to that point. HK's mismanagement of multiple projects is what caused MS to pull the plug, but I feel they still wanted to get it done at some point.
“My work with Platinum Games was based on a relationship of trust with the company. I decided to leave because I felt that the direction the company was heading in was different from my beliefs as a developer. Without that element of trust, I couldn’t continue working there, and so I left, so that I could continue working in what I consider to be the right way.
“I don't think of games as products, but rather as works of art. I want to put my artistry into games and deliver games that could only be made by Hideki Kamiya, so that players can enjoy Hideki Kamiya games exactly as they are. I decided to leave the company and forge my own path, to continue making games that reflect the developers who made them.”
Hideki Kamiya will be leaving PlatinumGames on October 12, 2023.
Phil better have that check ready. Hideki expertise and knowledge would be a great asset to the Xbox team and can possibly bring growth in the Asia region.
How sudden, I wonder what changed.
Maybe after the certain story choices and direction for Bayonetta 3 they can hopefully make it more like the first two games.
i've always felt platinum games lack of growth/failures can be traced back to kamiya. He seems like a very troublesome person to work with
