There won't be a PS4 version of Astral Chain, Platinum Games' Kamiya Hideki confirmed in a recent Tweet where is also addressed allegations of PS4 hate.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.
For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."
I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.
Daily Video Game writes: "Today, Amazon has just kicked off a new digital sale on several games for Nintendo Switch gamers, offering up to 67% off on many popular first-party and third-party titles such as Luigi's Mansion 3, Cult of the Lamb, and many more right now!"
The recently released Bayonetta 3 was originally planned to be “semi-open world” along the lines of Astral Chain, at least according to reports. Bayonetta 3 of course wound up being an action adventure game in the same vein as precursors Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2. The reason for the change appears to have been little more than random circumstance.
Definitely. I LOVED the original, but this series needed something new to stay fresh.
I hope Astral Chain returns. Anyway I can see the inspirations from it and Scalebound scattered throughout the in the game.
That's the way it should be. It's a Switch exclusive. End of story. Deal with it.
So your telling me there's a chance
As someone who is mainly a Playstation gamer and doesn't own a switch (yet) i never expected any different, Nintendo funded and published it. So why would it go to PS4? I mean it'd be cool, but just aint gonna happen.
i'll never understand this, Bayonetta 2 outrage was kind of understandable but lets not forget it would have been multi platform if SEGA had not refused to fund it and nintendo stepped in to do so but this was a whole new game that hadn't got any "platform loyalty" this isn't like if the next Persona was a xbox exclusive or something.
As for if he hates playstation? don't make me laugh have we already forgotten Neir Automata was console exclusive for like a year?
Business is business i doubt he has the luxury of deciding what platforms he gets to make games on he may be a high ranking employee but he has a duty to protect his staff so at the end of the day if nintendo offered money to make them a game vs xbox and playstation not offering any? well i'd do the same thing in his position. Seems like some people got a bit too caught up in the console wars and truly believed the PS4 is the be all end all of platforms.
Why are PS Fanboys begging for other console exclusive games, I thought the PS4 had plenty.
