Platinum Games' next title will be shown in just a few days time and it'll be announced exclusively over on Youtube along with the Dorito Pope Geoff Keighley.
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.
Monday? YouTube? Doritos Pope? The game is multiplatform (Xbox One and PS4, Wii U and PC won't see a thing), mark my words.
Looks like it will be a big announcement, probably for a well known series. I don't know if Platinum would work on a new Devil May Cry, the IP belongs to Capcom and i don't know about the relationship between these studios.
I really want to be Vanquish, but the first game it's not so popular, sadly.
Well, a big announcement for a well known series, probably it's Bayonetta 3 or Revengeance 2.
But, who knows? :)
Hoping for a combo pack of Vanquish 1&2 on Wii U.
I still own and love the first one on PS3, and the tweets and hints are pointing strongly at Nintendo having something from them.
Heck, there was an article two or three days back where a Nintendo rep stated that Nintendo has some big third party stuff to announce at E3.
Platinum studios are surely putting out all the stops, with the tweet teases, IGN boasting that they have a play through with this title, and now this announcing it "live". One must think it must be some serious collaboration with another company for it to make it such a big deal. It would be amazing if its a collaboration with capcom for a Devil May Cry title.
Looks like I'll have all kinds of streams running at the same time just so I dont miss a thing!! Guess I'll have to set up a third computer to handle it all.
