PlatinumGames director Hideki Kamiya teased Bayonetta 3 on Twitter when someone asked for his opinion about the hairstyle for one of the game series' characters.
She also played Chun-Li and Major from Ghost in the Shell
oh shit, i did know that the Major voice actress passed away but i didnt know she voiced bayonetta too
rest in peace
Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad
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.
if MS hasnt picked it up yet,it will never return. it was cancelled in 2017. 6 years ago.
MS owns the IP, not PlatinumGames.
I have been waiting for a new Vanquish for a long time!! I barely imagine how the result could be on PS5
“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.
Phil already canceled a Kamiya game(Scalebound) so we know he doesn't have the check ready. And that check couldn't keep Shinji Mikami there either...but maybe?
I’m still bitter about that cancellation. Even if it was in dev hell he could’ve given it to an internal studio.

Are you crazy???
That would be extremely disrespectful!
@obscure as if one of ms's own studios would know how to get the game out the door in a great way. Remember what happened when they did that with Duke Nukem Forever?
Was the 69 billion dollar acquisition plus 8 billion for Zenimax not enough lol?
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

Please be at E3 wow....
Please be on Wii U...
Probably trolled, Its Kamiya who has nothing to do with Bayo 3 unless it's in a few years time.
if there ever was a Bayonetta 3, I should be multiplatform. every fan of the genre should experience this beauty.
Something about all this just made me decide to buy a Wii-U. Was thinking about Bayonetta, how I bought it twice on 360 and Ps3 just because I liked it so much. Probably be a huge price cut about a month after a buy one, so look for that.
