PlatinumGames can celebrate The Wonderful 101 receiving five nominations within the video games category of the 3rd Annual BTVA Voice Acting Awards 2013
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
Vice president Hideki Kamiya, director Yosuke Matsumura and producer Yuji Nakao discuss the standalone release.
Criminally underrated game..it's the hardcore game many people claim doesn't exist on a Nintendo platform anymore. It's my favorite Wii U game to date.
Well deserved.
The story of this game goes way deeper than most think, and the emotion in the voices lends lots of depth to the telling.
It's one of the best games Platinum has ever done, and it's shameful that so many refuse to give it a fair judgement simply due to being on the Wii U.
If only people were more open-minded...
Awesome game fun till the end
I'm so bad at this game, it's way harder than I expected. I think I died less in Bayonetta.
