He had a stellar baker's decade from 2000 to 2013, but he's only worked in """"supervisor"""" positions since then. viewtiful 101 was the last game he directed, 10 years ago.
Being bought by chinks and being made to focus on GaaS and mobile is a reason why he leaves Platinum anon. He would just retire if next project would flop.
The story in Bayo 3 was just extremely shitty even for Bayonetta standards, I can't see how anyone would be satisfied by how they handled Luka in that game, or any other character really.
I don't know about making him playable on the level of viola but they really should have had a bit right at the end where you control him, it really looked like you were about to take control of him and then you are just controlling bayo instead again
Forgive me for wanting the romance to be developed instead of the story fricking around with repetitive basic b***h multiverse jumps for 90% of the duration while cramming the payoff for non-existent buildup at the very end. They managed to write a story where absolutely everyone is underdeveloped, from Jeanne who goes on a sidequest and gets killed like a moron, to Viola who gets shafted despite being set up as the new main character, to Luka who gets one short scene being himself before turning into the most obvious "mysterious" action game rival imaginable, to every Bayonetta/Rosa/Jeanne from the multiverse who only exist to die and give the main Bayo their demons, to the main Bayo who barely has a reaction to the above and doesn't get decent interactions with anyone including her love interest, her daughter and the villain.
This is my first and last chance to post this image so I'd be stupid to not take the opportunity.
What a shame, well the next Platinum Games game isn't being made by them anyway
What is this? I hope it's good, I'm so sick of dogshit games I just want some good releases. Armored Core was a start but we need to turn the tide with more than just one game
they've had so many fricking failed projects when they contract for outside companies >scalebound: millions down the drain, never released >babylon's fall: millions down the drain, instantly flopped >relink: millions down the drain, get kicked off the project and it gets rebooted
Even outside those horrible flops, you have to remember that Platinum always had like four game projects ongoing, and almost all of them sucked ass. They produced more shit than good games, or did you forget >TMNT >Korra >Sol Cresta >Star Fox >Lost Order
Outside of Platinum wank, anyone with a brain should have seen they're shit.
They are the stupidest fricking company. They have the golden goose mmo and they're barely putting content out for it.

https://www.gematsu.com/2023/08/granblue-fantasy-relink-and-versus-rising-interview-with-tetsuya-fukuhara-and-yasuyuki-kaji
>Gematsu: Granblue Fantasy: Relink was announced in 2016 and faced numerous delays, even switching developers from PlatinumGames to Cygames Osaka. Can you guys talk a little bit about that long period of development and what it was like taking over full development from PlatinumGames?
Tetsuya Fukuhara, Granblue Fantasy General Director: "As far as working in PlatinumGames in the beginning, there were contracts that were ending and organizational things that needed to be reconstructed, so the fact that we stopped development with PlatinumGames was not negative at all. There was no falling out or anything of the sort. It was more scheduling that was the issue. As the game began to expand, and the volume of content that we started to put into the game became more and more, we decided that's an amount that Cygames should be handling on its own, as PlatinumGames had other games on their docket to start preparing for. So with their schedule in mind, we took over development at Cygames Osaka. And originally, the team at Cygames Osaka didn't have enough organizational strength or numbers to really support a game of this level, so we really had to start from the beginning—getting the necessary structure together to really get the development of a game like this off of the ground."
We can't say for sure if there was truly a falling out. We gotta remember that Platinum and Cygames were also working on a new mobile game together, but after they got the boot from Granblue Relink that game just stopped recieving updates.
Maybe in a few years a new interview will give more insight on what happened at Cygames that made them almost redo the whole game while keeping Platinum games combat.
even if that interview is just some corpo doublespeak it sounds like Cygames just decided it was more valuable to them to build up some in-house devs for larger games instead of continuing to hire outside studios for their IPs
The whole reason platinum exists was to make their own shit and be free of working on other peoples IP. It's not a surprise that company with that ethos would be flaky and constantly trying to shift their time and energy away from mercenary work. The problem is kamiya kept fricking up and wasting time and resources on vaporware, thats probably why he just gave up, platinum will probably go back to doing nier, and MGR tier mercenary work with the odd original release.
That's just the typical Japanese etiquette of "showing face" (that tatamai shit)
They're not like based Bobby Kotick who flat out said Tim Schafer was an incompetent producer which is why his games bomb financially.
Does this game even still have a chance of being commercially good? Granblue hasn't been a big thing for a couple of years now anymore and wasn't cygames also working on a couple of new big-budget games for the console/pc? What happened to those?
>made bayo1, which everyone loves >made w101, no one cared >wanted to make his dream game, but couldn't fullfill deadlines >kick started w101 to get it from nintendo and relaunch it >bombed again
thank you arigato kamiya-san
I’m guessing he wanted to keep making really wacky shit but with the way PG has been on the verge of bankruptcy I’m guessing the executives said no.
Also don’t think this is a coincidence after the “focus on live service games” statement.
Yeah, he probably left because Platinum was getting too corporate, working on shit like live service games and mobile shit, and not enough resources for his own project.
> and not enough resources for his own project.
And for good reason. Wonderful 101 was his last project and that sold insanely bad. Like I mean even the Remaster of the game for the Switch failed to break the top 30 in Japan of the week it came out (it sold below a 1000). Not wanting to lose money and sink your company doesn't mean the company wants to become corporate.
That's something I've never been able to understand. The game was great, in my opinion anyway, so why did it sell so terribly? Surely there's something terribly wrong with it, but I can't figure out what.
1. Maybe it just wasn't great and you have the extreme minority opinion shared by a select few.
2. Maybe it was great but all the people who wanted to play it already did and it doesn't have enough replay value to move remaster copies.
3. Maybe it was great but is primarily appealing to an audience that normally wouldn't touch Nintendo content at all, walled garden and everything, and so it only reached out to a tiny intersection of people who did touch Nintendo hardware. Then the remaster issue may be explained away as a marketing problem.
wasn't w101 action pikmin during a time where pikmin itself bombed and so did the platform that both games were on? like, no shit it failed, at least for the original release
The game is shit. You need to accept that.
The art style is shit.
The gameplay is meh.
The characters is the worst. It's moronic to make a game called wonderful 101, and you will only focus on the few characters and let 90% of them unrelated.
The game is just doom on arrival.
1. Maybe it just wasn't great and you have the extreme minority opinion shared by a select few.
2. Maybe it was great but all the people who wanted to play it already did and it doesn't have enough replay value to move remaster copies.

Then the remaster issue may be explained away as a marketing problem.
Number 2 is the answer. People who wanted it already bought it on Wii U and the remaster didn't feature anything to justify double dipping. It also ended up competing with its own Wii U version, which of course was cheaper.
Even Nintendo themselves understood the necessity to entice people with new content which is why their Wii U ports almost universally have extra content added onto the package.
Too intimidating for the average person. There's a reason why AAA games are generally simple and easy to understand, anything that looks to complicated or hard is not gonna sell.
>Or do the morons upstairs really think that they have a chance at getting the Fortnite audience?
all executives think they can just shit out an infinite money game, not understanding that the reason a game becomes an infinite money machine is because it's the only game people put serious money into
there can only exist a handful of them at any time, and they have to be completely different experiences from eachother to coexist
>Japanese man leaving a Japanese company >on his own

Nah Bayo 3 did well. That storybook spin off however probably did really poorly.
Also with the reception Bayo 3’s story has + the VA controversy I don’t believe many people are clamoring for a 4th.
He literally could’ve just stayed silent and let the appropriate PR people handle the issue and everything would’ve resolved itself. Instead he threw a temper-tantrum.

Coincidentally the "PAY VA'S WHAT THEY'RE FRICKING WORTH" movement carries on right after that, even though the debacle highlighted that despite being paid "just a few thousand dollars", the typical union VA is getting $400~ an hour, less than a week of talking into a mic for a single role.
The VA union is a mafia. You join them or they will block you from 99% of work opportunities because they push their union VAs into the roles first.
The union forces fixed rates that are more than the VAs deserve, but less than they need, so all the big union VAs' real job is promoting themselves at cons for fans to give them money directly. The union financially kneecaps you as a means to keep everyone in line paying them regular dues.
Only Hollywood stars have the luxury of big money deals, not a one-role chump like Hellena Taylor.

>Why would you get in an union to get less money?
She did not get less money for being in an union, Union set the minimum. You can get more. problem is, she was asking an hourly Rate equal of that of a CEO.
She claimed Platinum was being greedy by offering her just several fold of Union standard, when "Bayonetta was a super money printing franchise" (Bayonetta is a cult game, not a popular game)
>I don’t believe many people are clamoring for a 4th.
Hate to break it to you; but most people who buy videogames do not care one ounce of shit of internal dev drama. Unless you're on a videogame discussion board specifically catered to the hardcore aka Ganker.
No, he's going to have his Balan moment. He already tricked Square Enix (the most moronic publisher) but he could probably trick EA as they sometimes put out weird AA games. He will make Kamiya Blockworld, it will bomb, he will get arrested for insider trading and we will never hear about him again.
Why did W101 tank a second time? P* had enough faith in it to buy out Nintendo's publishing rights for a multiplat reissue but then it flopped a second time.
99% of people who cared probably paid for the kickstarter and I doubt it did that well beyond that
Its a niche ass game and its not like there was any marketing for the rerelease
Because it's really not fun
It LOOKS fun, but the gameplay is basically press a button a trillion times while shiny things happen on screen
When everyone reviewing the game (that's not a paid shill) is basically telling you that you get the same experience watching a youtube playthrough you won't make much money
Poor marketing and aesthetically it's not appealing to a wide audience. The characters look like weird plastic midgets. It doesn't have the cool factor of DMC, Bayonetta, or even MGR.

You either haven't played it or are coping from getting filtered.
That Kickstarter was and still is a huge mess.
I think I am still waiting on stuff for that.
Hell I even got the Gamblers Chest for KDM before everything for W101, imagine getting beaten by frickin Poots on delivery time.
Yeah they JUST released the DLC this year. A platformer that heavily recycles assets, that any big dev would be able to pump out in a few months, took Platinum years to make.
Stealing someone elses idea if them either being bought out by a Japanese company (my hope is Capcom, more likely it’s SE) OR they are digging their heals in for the GAAS in everything they make (this will destroy them creatively and financially).
Platinum really hasn't been platinum for a long time. The last really mindblowing game they released was bayonetta 2 and tomato, everything else has been really subpar.
No. I won't even waste my time with you. Both 3 and AC play like dogshit due to the combat system revolving around the summons. Neither has that platinum replayability quality. Games aren't supposed to necessarily be deep, they just need to be fun.
Kamiya hasn't made a game in 10 years. So this just means there's one less business administrator at platinum. This isn't a big deal. Whoever has been there longest will just move up and take his place.
Nintendo would just hire Taura to do astral chain 2 with one of the 5 monolith teams. They already got full control over astral chain after Kamiya convinced them to trade it for wonderful 101.
Nintendo acquire people, not studios. Look at Alpha Dream, it's as if they left them to rot despite having trusted them with the Mario IP, but in reality they're all working at Nintendo now.
Some jumped ship to ILCA, others if not most to Monolith Soft.
If Mario and Luigi were to come back the way Another Code did Monolith Soft will be the ones taking over.
Eh, AlphaDream gambled on doing their own multiplat project, got into debt and tried to spam M&L remasters to get out of their financial hole. If I were Nintendo, I wouldn't have bailed them out either.
There have been rumbles by Nate Drake, Modern Vintage Gamer and Spawn Wave that Nintendo was buying them out and changing their name to Nintendo of Osaka (Nintendo EPD11).
Just as a heads up.
Not a Platinumgay. What makes him different from yet another vidya director with his head up his own ass that people associate all of a company's good aspects to?
>He created Devil May Cry, Okami and Bayonetta. He will always be respected just for that.
Devil May Cry wouldn't have been remembered as much today if not for Hideaki Itsuno's DMC3. In fact Itsuno was so vital for that franchise that Kamiya himself took many notes of both DMC3/4 to help make Bayonetta.
dmc3 is dmc 1 but more refined with styles. and i never said it didn't influence it but it sure as hell wasn't vital.

Yoshi P has a kpop haircut and wears big rings on each of his fingers, Nagoshi turned himself into an IRL yakuza and Yoko Taro is Yoko Taro. Even Nintendo producers are starting to become eccentric.

Yes, having unique maps for every missions without separate sections is better than the same rooms being reused ad nausem.

Yes, having a story that involves all 3 characters, even on the levels, and pays off perfectly at the end is better than having Dante do nothing and then Nero having a nap.

"Nothing less" would require you to have given me something, Pablo.
The only reason it was kept that way was because Capcom didn't have the time and budget to set aside for this project to make the necessary changes. If they did you know as well as I do that it would've been changed
I have a feeling that Kamiya might have been involved in the trade between Astral chain and wonderful 10q. A trade that wasn't a very good deal for platinum
I don't think that really matters because Nintendo would want them to help with a potential Astral Chain 2. Also Nintendo still owns Wonderful 101, they're just allowing Platinum to port it to other systems.
Even if nintendo got platinum back it means that platinum makes significantly less money from it. They don't get a chunk of the pure profits unless nintendo gives them a bonus
Stability is better if you can't sustain yourself, see Retro Studios which would've closed five years ago were they not on Nintendo's payroll despite delivering frick-all for a decade. Also Platinum doesn't own the rights to any of their biggest games nor did they publish them, so they're constantly at risk even if they put out relatively successful games. They even mentioned the breakout success of Nier Automata saved them.
>Retro Studios which would've closed five years ago were they not on Nintendo's payroll despite delivering frick-all for a decade.
Or maybe they would deliver something if Nintendo wasn't cancelling all of their projects.
Retro has had severe internal management issues for the entirety of their existence, if their projects got canned they were most likely not coming together.
The only thing Kamiya contributed to Bayonetta 3 is the most autistic shit >MUH MULTIVERSE >MUH DARK ADAM >MUH ARCH EVE ORIGIN >MUH FAIRY WEREWOLF KING!!!!
Laptop posting but sleepy and I have exam tomorrow that I didn't even study for everything is good baby. No not school or college exam i'm older than that.
>boring ass hollywood movie plots.
Hollywood is obsessed with multiverse stuff, there were like 5 multiverse superhero movies in the last year alone, lol.
What was the last thing that Platinum made that was noteworthy (besides e-girl Bayo). Hell what was the last thing that Kamiya did that was noteworthy? It always felt like this company peaked around Bayonetta and Madworld and they've been on life support ever since.
Kamiya only acted as supervisor in their most recent projects. I guess they no longer need him there. >last thing that Platinum made that was noteworthy
e-girl Bayo and Astral chain.
>Ganker hates Kamiya now
I wonder where all the old posters went? There’s no way you gays are the same people I was posting with on here 10+ years ago.
For me, it's Bayonetta 3. The moment I saw demon slave I knew it was going to be shit. And I was right. Kamiya needs a tard wrangler, there is a reason why his best games were low budget games without expensive cutscene set pieces. Because they had to rely on combat mechanics and combat set pieces to make them interesting and fun. Bayo 3 is full of cutscene set pieces and has the most minigames in a P* game after W101. >inb4 what's the difference between gameplay set piece and cutscene set piece
Gameplay set piece example:
Bayo 1 introduces walking on the walls and wants you to fight against several flying enemies that way. You still use Bayonetta's combat mechanics, game doesn't take that away from you.
Cutscene set piece:
Riding Phantom and web slinging accross a big city. You don't use Bayonetta's combat mechanics, game takes you away from gameplay.
>pic

Viola was quite literally just their take on DMC5 Nero, and the whole ending sequence looked liked they tried to imitate DMC5's ending too. It's fricking sad.
>it feels bad that a guy who was doing jackshit for the past 10 years at PG is finally leaving
No, this is a good thing. W101 being a financial flop tarnished his reputation at the company and basically placed him in a harmless position stripped of creativity. This is him leaving in hopes to be incharge of a project again.
I'm still confused about what the hell exactly Scalebound was meant to be. Okay fine, the core was an Ubisoft template open-world with some RPG elements, but then on top of that you had DMC/Bayo combat with a big AI dragon plus multiplayer dungeons that'd turn into Panzer Dragoon or something? Sounds like about three games forced into one - a big mess.
The weird mismatched multiplayer was added at the insistence of Microsoft. They kept citing Monster Hunter as an influence during promo interviews, but I really don't know how that would work with DMC-style combat and then on top of that you have the big dragon following you about. I agree with you honestly, Scalebound sounded like a bunch of good ideas thrown into a blender to create something unpalatable.
im planning to quit my job soon (once the offer gets finalized from the new one), I've never done this and have been working at my company for a long time. Little nervous.
First, by far. In fact, Kamiya leaving is probably a sign that Platinum is getting ready to be bought out; either by Nintendo or another company because Kamiya valued independence so much.
By just retconning it. Bayo 3 is a stupid multiverse plot, so a dumb retcon with very little actual explanation wouldn’t even be so bad. If they’re gonna make Luka her one true love, maybe they could actually give the two more genuine screentime together instead of making Luka into a Gary Stu.
She’s tied to Luka via her story with Lukaon in Origins, so while nothing’s explicitly said, there is an implied great force that draws the two of them together. Strangely, even 2 may have been hinting at something like this given that Luka seems to run across Bayonetta by chance in that game given his dialogue when he sees her.
>How would you even retcon that?
Turns out it was Bayonetta (from 2's) nightmare after she was captured by a demon queen or something. Jeanne comes and saves her from demon that captured her and game starts properly.
Not all of them.
Egypt Bayo and france Bayo are missing their respective Lukas.
It seems each paralel Bayo spins around another support character.
Chinise Bayo is taking comand over her Luka's army.
Egypt Bayo is learning from Jeanne.
France Bayo is a mommy's girl femcel, so Luka dosen't make an appearance.
I don't understand how people can get this assblasted over which fictional characters frick. Shippers somehow manage to be even more pathetic than waifugays.
>Bayonetta looks as good as she always does in the next Bayo game >”REEEEEEEE ITS WOKE THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED WITH KAMIYA” >Ganker not remembering that they complained about that shit with Viola a character of Kamiya’s creation
Why can’t Bayonetta just have a good game untainted by outside drama? The first game still hasn’t been surpassed gameplay or story wise… But that’s not to say 2 or 3 are bad games. They’re still obscenely fun to play, but it feels like there will always be some insane unrelated controversy that taints people’s perception of the series…
I haven't browsed this shithole in a while, but I decided to come check it because of this news. Good to see Kamiya still makes console warriors seethe eternally.
Hope he goes where he's happy. Get the feeling he was put too high up and was restrained from being a creative, especially after the shitshows that happened with Scalebound and Bayo 3. Let the man make the games he wants to build.
I'll wait for the realization of Project GG
>Get the feeling he was put too high up and was restrained from being a creative
Yes, that is indeed the case and intentional one. Both W101 and the cancelled Scalebound were financial sinkholes for the company and the best way to deal with Kamiya was to place him in a position where he wasn't intrusive to the development of games.
>no footage of project g.g. yet >was going to be kamiya's latest directed action game since w101 >he has basically put in his two weeks notice (shit probably didn't go well) >project either got shitcanned or will release 2 years from now as a soulless shell of what was going to be g.g.

Anon no this is destiny, don't you get it? >Viewtiful Joe was born through Clover >W101 was born through Platinum
It only makes sense he'll complete the trilogy at a third studio
only good game they ever released was Metal Gear Rising, i'm not tearing up over losing mediocre talent. rip Platmid, one less kusoge studio in the world. maybe their 4 talented employees will get picked up by someone who wants to do something innovative.
Does Platinum really have enough talent or IPs that Nintendo wants enough to buy the whole company for? Sounds way more likely that they just poach the developers while Tencent buys the husk that remains.
Kamiya and all the games "from the creators of Diablo!!" are the reason why I don't trust game developer/designer/whatever credentials. It doesn't mean shit if you made a good game in the past, every single time I see a game come out with some bullshit like "from the creator of x/y/z" it's always shit. Just because Kamiya made some good games over a decae ago doesn't mean he'll make a single thing worth playing in the future. His name, along with everyone else's in this industry, means literally nothing.
Well that's ultimately due to the fact that videogames are created by a team of talented individuals who rely on each others strengths to compensate for each of their weaknesses. Capcom had good management skills of assembling teams of talented individuals with deadlines. Once many of these dudes left Capcom, it became clear that Capcom was one of the major reasons of success.
This. All that bald homosexual did was shit up every project with his manchild ideas. He did not even direct anything for Christ's sake
Finally FINALLY we will get a Bayonetta game without shitty minigames because they make some bald homosexual nostalgic
100% got booted after he made sure to keep Bayo straight. The insane seethe this game caused was something else, and with how corporate Platinum got, the execs probably hated that.
Nice schizo theory, but no. He left because he was not in a creative position since Scalebound's cancellation almost 7 years ago. A "supervisor" role is a position where you're basically in a passive position and not in a critical one. Since Kamiya was a creative person with ambition, this frustrated the shit out of him.
>Kamiya
Wants to include minigames every 10 steps >Kojima
Wants to include cutscenes every 10 steps >Miyazaki
Wants to make it a soulslike which has no cutscenes nor minigames
It would never work. Kojima and Kamiya might work though, telling a story during a minigame kek.
What was the last good game platinum put out after Bayo 3? Was Bayo 3 even good? (I didn't play it). I can't even remember their last release before Babylon's Fall
It's multiple things: >Platinum becoming corporate and wanting to make live service games. >Him not being in creative position for years. >CAPOM, the studio he left because it went to shit, is now insanely successful and makes a hit after hit (whether you think their games are good and deserve it, doesn't matter), while Platinum deteriorates and just recently they got mogged by Itsuno with DMC5 when they made Bayo 3 (good game, but not as good) >Working with westerners who try to censor shit he makes in games. >Probably getting old and burned out and wants to make a game before he completely retires like Mikami.
they can if the assets are cheep but stylish. the problem companies have with live service games is not having the work force to pump out content fast enough or when they do have the workers the game has a ugly artstyle like knockout city or rumbleversus.
>Platinumgames
I feel like I remember the logo but can't remember what games they made.
It's that logo where the bottom of the P starts dingling like a dick, right?
DMCgays are the absolute fricking worst thing to happen to action games. I sincerely wish DMC5 never came out, you losers begging and whining about it never happening is much better than this alternative.
The alternative being that DMCgays act like the most cancerous homosexuals on this board and you can't discuss action games because of them, that alternative.
is this the same guy who simped for men on twitter lol
Haha, yeah, it is
>filtered by a bit of futanari
Kek
it was futa art?
ChaserCHADS stay winning
When was the last time he made a good game?
The only games he was actually in charge of was Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, and Sol Cresta. Everything else is him just supervising.
Project GG was supposed to be his but it probably got cancelled and that's why he left.
He didn't make sol cresta, he was just a supervisor.
The director was Takanori Sato.
Viewtiful Joe and Okami
>Viewtiful Joe and Okami
wow, Hatting on Bayonetta and W101
okami is goated
shame we'll never get that sequel he and the cute nakamura girl wanted to do, but we knew that was never going to happen anyway
He had a stellar baker's decade from 2000 to 2013, but he's only worked in """"supervisor"""" positions since then. viewtiful 101 was the last game he directed, 10 years ago.
wonderful 101* he also did viewtiful joe and i got them mixed up.
Literally never. I don't understand how this guy is popular at all.
He's funny when he goes into a manlet rage tirade
Never?
lol bald moron
Obsessed
gg no release.
Good riddance
Failed self-made studio when?
That was his failed self-made studio
He will most likely be bought by Tencent and sent to their mobile farms for an eternity. Same happened with the Yakuza guy.
Being bought by chinks and being made to focus on GaaS and mobile is a reason why he leaves Platinum anon. He would just retire if next project would flop.
He is coming back to trip post on Ganker making a game studio named Anon Productions to make the ultimate Ganker-core game.
Isn't he supposed to be THE Platinum guy?
Always hated that shitty Ganker meme where everyone would ask for GAME but PLATINUM.
I remember seeing that a lot.
>F-Zero beat em up made by Platinum
was one
It was that and "what if X series had Souls combat".
Early-mid 2010s Ganker was shit
At least they talked about videogames.
Not really, it was just pizza threads and tardraging about stupid shit on tumblr
atleast we weren't so cynical as we are now
Frick why did you have to remind me, that was embarrassing.
Wasn't even just a Ganker thing. You would see this shit everywhere.
that's real cool but how about you back it up with a source
https://x.com/platinumgames/status/1706201875564130785?s=46&t=3uvgKgJ0gOt-ml7Aoi-_Bw
It’s legit, he’s gone.
Check the official account for Platinum or Kamiya on Twitter/X moron.
Did he bankrupt Platinum?
>future endeavored
qrd? i dont follow devs
He's being let go in corporate language. Usually devs like to express what they want to do next in the future
Get the frick out. Why are you even here?
he probably got bought by some American studio
>Please spoonfeed me because I follow IP goyslop instead of devs
Go back.
He gonna GATTAI with Mikami or something?
So this means Luka can stop being forced into games as Kamiya’s self-insert right?
>yurigays are still mad
The story in Bayo 3 was just extremely shitty even for Bayonetta standards, I can't see how anyone would be satisfied by how they handled Luka in that game, or any other character really.
Cry about it shes straight you have a mental illness
nta but he deserved a better build up than what he got he should've been the new playable character no viola.
anon those are hollywood plots.
I don't know about making him playable on the level of viola but they really should have had a bit right at the end where you control him, it really looked like you were about to take control of him and then you are just controlling bayo instead again
Forgive me for wanting the romance to be developed instead of the story fricking around with repetitive basic b***h multiverse jumps for 90% of the duration while cramming the payoff for non-existent buildup at the very end. They managed to write a story where absolutely everyone is underdeveloped, from Jeanne who goes on a sidequest and gets killed like a moron, to Viola who gets shafted despite being set up as the new main character, to Luka who gets one short scene being himself before turning into the most obvious "mysterious" action game rival imaginable, to every Bayonetta/Rosa/Jeanne from the multiverse who only exist to die and give the main Bayo their demons, to the main Bayo who barely has a reaction to the above and doesn't get decent interactions with anyone including her love interest, her daughter and the villain.

>it's real
This is my first and last chance to post this image so I'd be stupid to not take the opportunity.
What is this? I hope it's good, I'm so sick of dogshit games I just want some good releases. Armored Core was a start but we need to turn the tide with more than just one game
wow lmao they are fricked
How was Armored Core a start? Fricking moron zoomer
contrarian pls
What a shame, well the next Platinum Games game isn't being made by them anyway
I hope this game does good as doomed as it might be
they've had so many fricking failed projects when they contract for outside companies
>scalebound: millions down the drain, never released
>babylon's fall: millions down the drain, instantly flopped
>relink: millions down the drain, get kicked off the project and it gets rebooted
Scalebound reeked of scope creep
Platinum isn't a big enough studio to pull off what that game was turning into
You mean the xbox one was a shit console
They were perfectly capable it was just a shit system.
If you can't make a game on the Xbone in 2017 you're just shit at making games.
Your console is dogshit homosexual and is exactly why MS should stay away from games
>relink:millions down the drain
Reminder Platinum basically stole money from Cygames and did nothing for them in return
Even outside those horrible flops, you have to remember that Platinum always had like four game projects ongoing, and almost all of them sucked ass. They produced more shit than good games, or did you forget
>TMNT
>Korra
>Sol Cresta
>Star Fox
>Lost Order
Outside of Platinum wank, anyone with a brain should have seen they're shit.
Platinum is good for one thing only: Action combat.
Outside that, they just can't make a game work.
Nintendo was to blame for Star Fox.
Nope, Platinum's fault as they were overworked.
Star Fox pains me as it was solid as hell combat and game with absolute ass controls.
Except for the hovercopter missions, those sucked ass beginning to end.
Who thought Babylon's Fall was a good idea anyways?
Square enix wanted to jump on the GaaS bandwagon
SE already has a mmo and multiple gacha games,they really didn't need anything else
>they really didn't need anything else
Lol
Lmao
It's never about what they need
They are the stupidest fricking company. They have the golden goose mmo and they're barely putting content out for it.
Captcha: P00PWW
>golden goose
the nu job design can suck my wiener
content is just one of its many problems
too bad it's too big to fall now that redditors and normies will bend over to defend it
Actually Platinum wanted to jump on it and Square Enix gave them money because they wanted it too.
The CEO of Platinum. He has a hard on for live-service and is desperate for Platinum to have their 'big break' game that will sell untold millions.
The previous CEO of Square, and the current CEO of Platinum. Both are moronic.
>relink: millions down the drain, get kicked off the project and it gets rebooted
The Platinum staff that worked on Relink all left the company for Cygames because of the ridiculous mismanagement going on
source?
Is that the granblue thing?
Yes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHMJQO20S9M
It's made by an ex-platinum games developer
>agree to make a game for a 3rd party
>you handle combat, they handle story and such
>be given a FRICK TON of money for the project
>spend the money on other projects instead
>wagelsave your workers working on the project while getting absolutely nothing done
>cygames asks for a progress report
>get kicked
>your workers leave your company to work with Cygames and finish the game
Imagine being fricking Platinum games, and still flopping like this
>be given a FRICK TON of money for the project
>spend the money on other projects instead
source?
Not sure about Granblue but that happened with Scalebound. They used M$ money for Nier and Astral Chain.
That's not what happened you complete fricking buffoon.
https://www.gematsu.com/2023/08/granblue-fantasy-relink-and-versus-rising-interview-with-tetsuya-fukuhara-and-yasuyuki-kaji
>Gematsu: Granblue Fantasy: Relink was announced in 2016 and faced numerous delays, even switching developers from PlatinumGames to Cygames Osaka. Can you guys talk a little bit about that long period of development and what it was like taking over full development from PlatinumGames?
Tetsuya Fukuhara, Granblue Fantasy General Director: "As far as working in PlatinumGames in the beginning, there were contracts that were ending and organizational things that needed to be reconstructed, so the fact that we stopped development with PlatinumGames was not negative at all. There was no falling out or anything of the sort. It was more scheduling that was the issue. As the game began to expand, and the volume of content that we started to put into the game became more and more, we decided that's an amount that Cygames should be handling on its own, as PlatinumGames had other games on their docket to start preparing for. So with their schedule in mind, we took over development at Cygames Osaka. And originally, the team at Cygames Osaka didn't have enough organizational strength or numbers to really support a game of this level, so we really had to start from the beginning—getting the necessary structure together to really get the development of a game like this off of the ground."
We can't say for sure if there was truly a falling out. We gotta remember that Platinum and Cygames were also working on a new mobile game together, but after they got the boot from Granblue Relink that game just stopped recieving updates.
Maybe in a few years a new interview will give more insight on what happened at Cygames that made them almost redo the whole game while keeping Platinum games combat.
even if that interview is just some corpo doublespeak it sounds like Cygames just decided it was more valuable to them to build up some in-house devs for larger games instead of continuing to hire outside studios for their IPs
The whole reason platinum exists was to make their own shit and be free of working on other peoples IP. It's not a surprise that company with that ethos would be flaky and constantly trying to shift their time and energy away from mercenary work. The problem is kamiya kept fricking up and wasting time and resources on vaporware, thats probably why he just gave up, platinum will probably go back to doing nier, and MGR tier mercenary work with the odd original release.
That literally reads like the generic japanese company bullshit to avoid drama
By the timeline it would make a lot of sense
That's just the typical Japanese etiquette of "showing face" (that tatamai shit)
They're not like based Bobby Kotick who flat out said Tim Schafer was an incompetent producer which is why his games bomb financially.
Reads like Cygames wanted to expand the scope of the game to a level that Platinum couldn't handle on their own.
>granblue relink
>ace attorney
>another code
january will frick me up
You can clearly see their work in the gameplay
Except Cygames scrapped everything Platinum did. This is literally just Dragalia Lost HD.
this game has such a boring ass cast. they went with all the basic b***h starter options
Nobody will care, because nobody in the west even plays Granblue.
part of the game is a retread through the main story. Of course it will have the main cast instead of your meta snowflake
>human swordsman x 100000000000000000000000000
boring
>t.doesn't even know what game we're talking about
>game has a bunch of fantasy races
>only one erune
I know what game I am talking about, it's going to be flopgotten 1 week after its release
>swordsman
you clearly don't
Is that a victim girls game with platinum combat?. Looks cool
holy cringe
Does this game even still have a chance of being commercially good? Granblue hasn't been a big thing for a couple of years now anymore and wasn't cygames also working on a couple of new big-budget games for the console/pc? What happened to those?
MUH GRAPHICS
>made bayo1, which everyone loves
>made w101, no one cared
>wanted to make his dream game, but couldn't fullfill deadlines
>kick started w101 to get it from nintendo and relaunch it
>bombed again
thank you arigato kamiya-san
I’m guessing he wanted to keep making really wacky shit but with the way PG has been on the verge of bankruptcy I’m guessing the executives said no.
Also don’t think this is a coincidence after the “focus on live service games” statement.
Yeah, he probably left because Platinum was getting too corporate, working on shit like live service games and mobile shit, and not enough resources for his own project.
> and not enough resources for his own project.
And for good reason. Wonderful 101 was his last project and that sold insanely bad. Like I mean even the Remaster of the game for the Switch failed to break the top 30 in Japan of the week it came out (it sold below a 1000). Not wanting to lose money and sink your company doesn't mean the company wants to become corporate.
That's something I've never been able to understand. The game was great, in my opinion anyway, so why did it sell so terribly? Surely there's something terribly wrong with it, but I can't figure out what.
1. Maybe it just wasn't great and you have the extreme minority opinion shared by a select few.
2. Maybe it was great but all the people who wanted to play it already did and it doesn't have enough replay value to move remaster copies.
3. Maybe it was great but is primarily appealing to an audience that normally wouldn't touch Nintendo content at all, walled garden and everything, and so it only reached out to a tiny intersection of people who did touch Nintendo hardware. Then the remaster issue may be explained away as a marketing problem.
wasn't w101 action pikmin during a time where pikmin itself bombed and so did the platform that both games were on? like, no shit it failed, at least for the original release
Literally nothing to do with Pikmin.
Kamiya went full moron with the minigames, and the artstyle filter normalgays
shit graphics
The game is shit. You need to accept that.
The art style is shit.
The gameplay is meh.
The characters is the worst. It's moronic to make a game called wonderful 101, and you will only focus on the few characters and let 90% of them unrelated.
The game is just doom on arrival.
Number 2 is the answer. People who wanted it already bought it on Wii U and the remaster didn't feature anything to justify double dipping. It also ended up competing with its own Wii U version, which of course was cheaper.
Even Nintendo themselves understood the necessity to entice people with new content which is why their Wii U ports almost universally have extra content added onto the package.
Too intimidating for the average person. There's a reason why AAA games are generally simple and easy to understand, anything that looks to complicated or hard is not gonna sell.
It's a niche game for a niche audience, so it doesn't appeal to normies.
the gameplay is very unorthodox but the main reason is that it looks like some shovelware shit for kids
>“focus on live service games” statement.
How much of this is down to Tencent? Or do the morons upstairs really think that they have a chance at getting the Fortnite audience?
>Or do the morons upstairs really think that they have a chance at getting the Fortnite audience?
all executives think they can just shit out an infinite money game, not understanding that the reason a game becomes an infinite money machine is because it's the only game people put serious money into
there can only exist a handful of them at any time, and they have to be completely different experiences from eachother to coexist
>the morons upstairs
Businessmen are just that, morons. Have you missed the recent Unity self-triggered nuclear implosion?
>Japanese man leaving a Japanese company
>on his own
lol yeah, totally did not get kicked out for being a useless hack of a "game director" and now he will never get hired back into another Japanese company
Rings a bell?
>spoiler
Sure do, remember that the man who raped Street Fighter for a number of years (Yoshinori Ono) was put in charge on the mobile company subsidiary making the Fate gacha
No, Keiji Inafune, who ran the Mega Man unit, Street Fighter has nothing to do with this.
Inafune is at Level-5
Yeah, he's making the new Fantasy Life
Its the opposite, moron. Japanese companies rarely fire seniors even after decades of failure. So yes, he left on his own.
I look forward to his next game.
being bought by nintendo?
Scalebound completely broke him
Damn did bayonetta 3 sell that bad?
Nah Bayo 3 did well. That storybook spin off however probably did really poorly.
Also with the reception Bayo 3’s story has + the VA controversy I don’t believe many people are clamoring for a 4th.
I wonder if he's being blamed for fanning the flames of the VA controversy.
He wasn’t in the wrong but acting like a b***h baby on Twitter during that whole thing made him lose a lot of respect in my eyes.
>You're just trying to chill and you get harassed by SJWs
You'd be annoyed too.
He literally could’ve just stayed silent and let the appropriate PR people handle the issue and everything would’ve resolved itself. Instead he threw a temper-tantrum.
lol who gives a shit, homosexual.
I’m not going to reply to you anymore.
>he says in the middle of a conversation about it
were you dropped on your head as a baby, or did you come out of the womb with brain damage?
I guess Platinum did lel
boo hoo mean tweets
little b***h
He could you know, just put down his phone and not be a twitter addicted boomer
SJWs hated her because she wouldn't say 'trans rights'
>fanning the flames of the VA controversy.
what'd I miss?
Woman moment
Leftoids went cancel mode over him supposedly not paying some VA enough money because of the "PAY YOUR HECKIN WORKERS" meme but it turned out she was lying. Doesn't matter though since it's never been about the truth with them anyway.
He couldn't block them all so he privated his account from the backlash. It's disappointing because the baldy was adamant about removing insects
oh yeah he was a b***h that tried to hide by privating i forgot that
Case in point. Trannies still seething even though he didn't actually not pay his heckin workers. Leftists are like a hornet, it gets pissed off and it never stops attacking, even long after whatever pissed them off has been confirmed to not be real.
You gonna run away and hide like that jap homosexual you worship?
The famed "anti-racists", embarrassing.
>VA for Bayonetta, Hellena Taylor wanted more money to do the voice for Bayo3 even though she's in the union
>Platinum tries to appease her with the biggest amount they're literally allowed to offer
>She refuses
>Platinum casts union vet Jennifer Hale who takes the standard rate
>Silence until just before Bayo3 release, Taylor then decides to make a "statement" about not being the VA, the pay dispute
>very vague, up her own ass about being Bayo, calls for a boycott, moronic call to spend that $60 on charity or something
>Bunch of upset, Kamiya gets dogpiled
>Kamiya replies "Sad and deplorable... BEWARE OF MY RULES"
>Platinum makes a retort that shoots down her claims
>Taylor comes out with a second video "clarifying" things which just destroys her own position
>simply shows she's a greedy c**t who thought she was a celebrity and doesn't understand how being union works
>Everyone quickly distances themselves from Taylor, Kamiya vindicated
>Trannies continue to try and attack him regardless
Coincidentally the "PAY VA'S WHAT THEY'RE FRICKING WORTH" movement carries on right after that, even though the debacle highlighted that despite being paid "just a few thousand dollars", the typical union VA is getting $400~ an hour, less than a week of talking into a mic for a single role.
Why would you get in an union to get less money?
The VA union is a mafia. You join them or they will block you from 99% of work opportunities because they push their union VAs into the roles first.
The union forces fixed rates that are more than the VAs deserve, but less than they need, so all the big union VAs' real job is promoting themselves at cons for fans to give them money directly. The union financially kneecaps you as a means to keep everyone in line paying them regular dues.
Only Hollywood stars have the luxury of big money deals, not a one-role chump like Hellena Taylor.
>The VA union is a mafia
there is no mafia
>so all the big union VAs' real job is promoting themselves at cons for fans to give them money directly
Why would anyone give them money though?For what?
I somehow find it hard to believe that western VAs have the pull and following that seiyuus have in niponland
>Why would you get in an union to get less money?
She did not get less money for being in an union, Union set the minimum. You can get more. problem is, she was asking an hourly Rate equal of that of a CEO.
She claimed Platinum was being greedy by offering her just several fold of Union standard, when "Bayonetta was a super money printing franchise" (Bayonetta is a cult game, not a popular game)
>I don’t believe many people are clamoring for a 4th.
Hate to break it to you; but most people who buy videogames do not care one ounce of shit of internal dev drama. Unless you're on a videogame discussion board specifically catered to the hardcore aka Ganker.
It did fine but I'd say more people disliked the story than those who liked it so a lot of fans left
She won
You think Platinum as a whole was holding him back?
Let me guess, Kamiya's leaving for some chinkshit company?
Man I hate the chinks but even I wouldn't wish them that
No, he's going to have his Balan moment. He already tricked Square Enix (the most moronic publisher) but he could probably trick EA as they sometimes put out weird AA games. He will make Kamiya Blockworld, it will bomb, he will get arrested for insider trading and we will never hear about him again.
its over
no more tomato only chinkshit now
literally who
He didn't even make Platinum's best game (it's Metal Gear Rising)
KINO
Why did W101 tank a second time? P* had enough faith in it to buy out Nintendo's publishing rights for a multiplat reissue but then it flopped a second time.
99% of people who cared probably paid for the kickstarter and I doubt it did that well beyond that
Its a niche ass game and its not like there was any marketing for the rerelease
Because it's really not fun
It LOOKS fun, but the gameplay is basically press a button a trillion times while shiny things happen on screen
When everyone reviewing the game (that's not a paid shill) is basically telling you that you get the same experience watching a youtube playthrough you won't make much money
Filtered
Poor marketing and aesthetically it's not appealing to a wide audience. The characters look like weird plastic midgets. It doesn't have the cool factor of DMC, Bayonetta, or even MGR.
This is false, the game is really fun, it just takes some getting used to.
>the gameplay is basically press a button a trillion times while shiny things happen on screen
>When everyone reviewing the game (that's not a paid shill) is basically telling you that you get the same experience watching a youtube playthrough
You either haven't played it or are coping from getting filtered.
That Kickstarter was and still is a huge mess.
I think I am still waiting on stuff for that.
Hell I even got the Gamblers Chest for KDM before everything for W101, imagine getting beaten by frickin Poots on delivery time.
>paying for a kickstarter
you are a moron and deserve nothing
The kickstarter rewards were being handled by westoids
Yeah they JUST released the DLC this year. A platformer that heavily recycles assets, that any big dev would be able to pump out in a few months, took Platinum years to make.
it seemed like they never did a great job explaining how it would work without a wii u
about time. genuinely surprised that both he wasn't fired sooner and he didn't leave sooner.
Hope he rejoins capcom.
Stealing someone elses idea if them either being bought out by a Japanese company (my hope is Capcom, more likely it’s SE) OR they are digging their heals in for the GAAS in everything they make (this will destroy them creatively and financially).
this
but as long as bayo keeps getting made I don't give a shit.
You mean as long as nintendo is willing to shell out for an underperforming action hack&slash.
Didn't Tencent make an investment in Platinum a while back? No good can come of them getting involved with anything.
>more likely it’s SE
>tfw fricking Square Enix turns into J-Action kino factory in your lifetime
A man can only hope.
So are normalgays going to finally start shitting on Platinum now or start to shit on Kamiya now since he got kicked from the company?
Nope, they are surprised at the news. They still thought that there were no problems at Platinum.
Normies don't care about Platinum anymore, the whole "Platinum should work on [franchise]" meme is like 10 years old at this point.
Whoah, what version of Hiyoko is this? I love Hiyoko the most!
Platinum really hasn't been platinum for a long time. The last really mindblowing game they released was bayonetta 2 and tomato, everything else has been really subpar.
both astral chain and bayo 3 are better than nier, which is a shallow piece of shit.
No. I won't even waste my time with you. Both 3 and AC play like dogshit due to the combat system revolving around the summons. Neither has that platinum replayability quality. Games aren't supposed to necessarily be deep, they just need to be fun.
Funny to think that there's a good chance that Platinum would've been closed like five years ago if 2B hadn't become a meme on Twitter
Eeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??
Says the troony. At least he still has a dick, cumgargling troon.
You say worshiping the guy who loves and jerks off to troons, keep coping you manlet loving gay
>project gg
>it wasn't good
>job stolen
Kamiya hasn't made a game in 10 years. So this just means there's one less business administrator at platinum. This isn't a big deal. Whoever has been there longest will just move up and take his place.
>become second party for tendies
>*dies*
many such cases
You're right, their games for Microsoft end up much better.
I'd rather have nothing than Bayo3 so you are correct
Can't Nintendo finally buy Platinum? They don't know what the frick they are doing, they desperately need a tard wrangler.
Nintendo would just hire Taura to do astral chain 2 with one of the 5 monolith teams. They already got full control over astral chain after Kamiya convinced them to trade it for wonderful 101.
Nintendo acquire people, not studios. Look at Alpha Dream, it's as if they left them to rot despite having trusted them with the Mario IP, but in reality they're all working at Nintendo now.
Some jumped ship to ILCA, others if not most to Monolith Soft.
If Mario and Luigi were to come back the way Another Code did Monolith Soft will be the ones taking over.
Eh, AlphaDream gambled on doing their own multiplat project, got into debt and tried to spam M&L remasters to get out of their financial hole. If I were Nintendo, I wouldn't have bailed them out either.
He is probably sick right? He has been for a while
Is being a bald fraud an illness?
??
Damn, Project GG is literally never gonna happen now
She won.
she didn't nor is she related
She won about a week of internet fame before the truth came out, and now no one will ever hire her again.
Considering she's a theater actor and doesn't care about game voice acting at all, I don't think she cares.
She cared enough to come up with a huge lie lmao.
She works in theatre, people in those circles don't know or care about Bayonetta. VA was just a side hussle for her
>She won.
a permanent Blacklist
There have been rumbles by Nate Drake, Modern Vintage Gamer and Spawn Wave that Nintendo was buying them out and changing their name to Nintendo of Osaka (Nintendo EPD11).
Just as a heads up.
Literal whos. The last game they worked for was Final Fantasy 16.
more like nintendo of osucky
I doubt Nintendo would change their name, they haven't done it with any studio they've bought either in the west or Japan.
Nintendo has been plaining a Osaka branch for awhile now.
Sony should just buy Square Enix and Platinum and force them to make Nier Automata 2.
you mean drakengard 4
Not a Platinumgay. What makes him different from yet another vidya director with his head up his own ass that people associate all of a company's good aspects to?
He created Devil May Cry, Okami and Bayonetta. He will always be respected just for that.
>He created Devil May Cry, Okami and Bayonetta. He will always be respected just for that.
Devil May Cry wouldn't have been remembered as much today if not for Hideaki Itsuno's DMC3. In fact Itsuno was so vital for that franchise that Kamiya himself took many notes of both DMC3/4 to help make Bayonetta.
thats a lie, mechanically speaking that aren't the very close.
>thinking it didn't influence Bayonetta's development at all
Keep coping.
dmc3 is dmc 1 but more refined with styles. and i never said it didn't influence it but it sure as hell wasn't vital.
I said that Itsuno was vital for the DMC franchise, which is true. DMC3 is to many their favorite DMC for a reason. Nobody ever cites DMC1 as their favorite.
DMC1 is just too hardcore for CUHRAYZEEEEEEgay buttonmashers.
DMC3 is harder than 1.
Post your DMD New Game playthroughs and i'll believe you.
I've finished them only in normal mode. But DMC3 is far harder than DMC1.
Come back when you actually played the games buttonmasher.
>post proof!
>*proof posted*
>nu uh! finish them again in DMD!
The fact that enemies has overinflated HP bars in DMC3 makes it harder than 1. DMD will only make them harder to kill and want me to spam DT and DTE more.
You won't even make it out the first DMD New Game marionette room pal.
Air raid goes brrrrrr...
Do you understand what New Game is?
Meaning no air raid...............uh oh......no grenade gun either........??? ah shiiiiit.
That's not fricking fair...
Yeah it's really not.

Not if I have Sparda costume.
You can't buy upgrades until mission 2.

You first
>Capcom rehires Mikami and Kamiya to work on a new Dino Crisis game
You rike it...?
Fat chance, like with Keiji Inafune Mikami and Kamiya are just going to get sucked into Level-5 just to piss off Capcom.
Inafune was at Level-5's TGS presentation last week showing off the new Fantasy Life game. Why does he still have that ridiculous haircut, the guy's like 60.
There's something about japanese culture which drives directors and producers to present themselves as an eccentric person. Yoshi P has a kpop haircut and wears big rings on each of his fingers, Nagoshi turned himself into an IRL yakuza and Yoko Taro is Yoko Taro. Even Nintendo producers are starting to become eccentric.
I think the mask thing with Yoko Taro mostly started as a privacy thing for interviews
he did it for over a decade before anyone cared who he was or played any of his games
I think Inafune just likes his shitty haircut, he's never looked or acted quirky otherwise.
It sure was quirky of him to never finish megaman legends and then demand an inflated budget for other games
>goes back to Capcom
>makes DMC good again by making another with the kino structure and pacing of DMC1
Gaming is saved
>makes DMC good again
DMC is in good hands. Better than this hack.
DMC hasn't left Midland since 1
>3 and 5 are two of the best actions games
>Nobody cares about 1
>1 is the only one above 90 on Metacritic
>caring about Metacritic
The entire board culture revolves around it. That's how far Ganker has fallen
1 is mid, even 4 is better than that
1 & 4 are the best ones if you're not a basic b***h brainlet impressed by flashy cutscenes.
>4
>best
No, bloody palace autism does not make it good. The actual game sucks ass. I'll agree with you about 1.
Oh so going back and forth between characters in a dull grey game is so much worse than going backwards once with no swapping and beautiful color aesthetics.
What the frick are you talking about?
DMC5 new and good. Capgods back boiz.
DMC4 old and le busted because.......it just is ok.............................................
I never once mentioned DMC5 you fricking moron. I literally said in that post that I agree with 1 being the best.
Yeah I like dmc1 because the atmosphere when I played it 10 years ago.
That's because DMC1 was retrofitted from a canned RE game.
i'll take that over 5.
Yes, having 3 unique characters is better than having 2 unfinished ones.
Yes, having unique bosses for all of them is better than fight only 4 of them 3 times.
Yes, having unique maps for every missions without separate sections is better than the same rooms being reused ad nausem.
Yes, having enemies that are designed for all 3 characters is better than if they were designed for 1 of 2.
Yes, having a steady supply of character progression for both Dante and Nero is better than having frick all for both.
Yes, having a story that involves all 3 characters, even on the levels, and pays off perfectly at the end is better than having Dante do nothing and then Nero having a nap.
Yes, having the environments be destroyed by the demon tree and always having it as par of the far-off landscape is better than basically going "a wizard did it" for all the shitty gimmick sections that look and play stupid.
Yes, having Nico and Griffon as fun sidecharacters is better than having the cardboard cut-outs of the Order and Kyrie is much better reassuring Nero than as a damsel in distress.
Yes, all characters sharing their orbs is better than the fricking proud soul system.
Yes, the music is better.
Yes, the atmosphere is good, if optional.
Yes, the game looks great.
Yes, it's the best action game of all time.
Yes, you got filtered.

Nothing less.
>Goes back to capcom
Kamiya's not gonna go to a ESG company
Whatever stupid splash screen they have to add at the start doesn't diminish the fact that they kept the kino Battle Network 2 localization.
The only reason it was kept that way was because Capcom didn't have the time and budget to set aside for this project to make the necessary changes. If they did you know as well as I do that it would've been changed
>Don't have the 30 minutes to rewrite a few scenes.

Counterpoint: Capcom will sell him their pet troony.
>>goes back to Capcom
Kamiya will rather Work for Nintendo than go back to Capcom
>Kamiya will rather Work for Nintendo than go back to Capcom
Is that why he cries about wanting to work on DMC and Okami like a cuck on twitter?
Itsuno and Kamiya working together would be kino.
Missing the IP =/= Missing the Company.
After a Divorce, you want to see your kids, not your Ex
>Sega owns Bayonetta and Vanquish
>Konami owns Rising

They are not getting bought they don't own any big IPs. If anything they should beg to be bailed out by Square Enix or Nintendo.

Huge loss to them, they're now essentially dead
BRAAAAAAAAAP
I hate when that happens
wasn't there some shit about Twitter changing the block feature to only work for DMs so that people couldn't block advertisers?
That's bullshit but I believe it
I have a feeling that Kamiya might have been involved in the trade between Astral chain and wonderful 10q. A trade that wasn't a very good deal for platinum
I don't think that really matters because Nintendo would want them to help with a potential Astral Chain 2. Also Nintendo still owns Wonderful 101, they're just allowing Platinum to port it to other systems.
Even if nintendo got platinum back it means that platinum makes significantly less money from it. They don't get a chunk of the pure profits unless nintendo gives them a bonus
Stability is better if you can't sustain yourself, see Retro Studios which would've closed five years ago were they not on Nintendo's payroll despite delivering frick-all for a decade. Also Platinum doesn't own the rights to any of their biggest games nor did they publish them, so they're constantly at risk even if they put out relatively successful games. They even mentioned the breakout success of Nier Automata saved them.
>Retro Studios which would've closed five years ago were they not on Nintendo's payroll despite delivering frick-all for a decade.
Or maybe they would deliver something if Nintendo wasn't cancelling all of their projects.
Retro has had severe internal management issues for the entirety of their existence, if their projects got canned they were most likely not coming together.
Don't worry. He will join Tango Gameworks now.
Nope, Level-5 just like every other Ex-Capcom staff member.
Doubtful, remember that Mikami left Tango earlier this year after also nearly leaving a few years ago.
>Mikami left Tango
jesus christ
everybody left, good games are dead
How long does it take to get a job as a "game director" in a new company?
The only thing Kamiya contributed to Bayonetta 3 is the most autistic shit

Hollywood is obsessed with multiverse stuff, there were like 5 multiverse superhero movies in the last year alone, lol.
What was the last thing that Platinum made that was noteworthy (besides e-girl Bayo). Hell what was the last thing that Kamiya did that was noteworthy? It always felt like this company peaked around Bayonetta and Madworld and they've been on life support ever since.
w101 and solcresta both games require to much effort for the average game to appreciate.
gamer*
Kamiya only acted as supervisor in their most recent projects. I guess they no longer need him there.
>last thing that Platinum made that was noteworthy
e-girl Bayo and Astral chain.
>e-girl Bayo
i'm out of the loop what is this
Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon
WHAT ABOUT PROJECT GG YOU CHARLIE BROWN LOOKING butthole?!?!?!?!
Anybody with half a braincell can figure out that GG was cancelled and the Kaiju shit was shoehorned into Bayo 3.
Oh shit you're right that was meant to be him wasn't it
FRICK
Did anyone actually think Project GG was going to be good? The kaiju fights in Bayonetta 3 were awful, can you even imagine an entire game of that?
Wasn't the kaiju shit just recycled from Scalebound's corpse?
Funny is some of PlatinumGames helped on Final Fantasy XVI, so there are your Kaiju fights.
Ifrit feels better to control than Gomorrah though. It's slow and clunky in B3, Ifrit is just a bigger and slower Clive.
>Ganker hates Kamiya now

>people
and THIS is your biggest mistake
This place? Owned by CHADBots.
Take your blood pressure medication grandpa
have you thought that maybe people change, and what once was based is now cringe?
For me, it's Bayonetta 3. The moment I saw demon slave I knew it was going to be shit. And I was right. Kamiya needs a tard wrangler, there is a reason why his best games were low budget games without expensive cutscene set pieces. Because they had to rely on combat mechanics and combat set pieces to make them interesting and fun. Bayo 3 is full of cutscene set pieces and has the most minigames in a P* game after W101.
>inb4 what's the difference between gameplay set piece and cutscene set piece
Gameplay set piece example:
Bayo 1 introduces walking on the walls and wants you to fight against several flying enemies that way. You still use Bayonetta's combat mechanics, game doesn't take that away from you.
Cutscene set piece:
Riding Phantom and web slinging accross a big city. You don't use Bayonetta's combat mechanics, game takes you away from gameplay.
Bayonetta 3 is not his game. Neither is 2. moron
Kamiya supervised Bayonetta 2, was the executive director of Bayonetta 3 and was responsible for the story in both games.
both those roles mean nothing in terms of gameplay directions there's a reason w101 feels more like bayo 1 than b2 and bayo3.
>pic
kek
Viola was quite literally just their take on DMC5 Nero, and the whole ending sequence looked liked they tried to imitate DMC5's ending too. It's fricking sad.
It's kinda funny too isn't it? DMC5 was great, it sold well, and everybody loved it, whereas Bayonetta 3 was the complete opposite.
probably going to NetEase
>mikami quit tango
>kamiya quit platinum
>other high tier jap devs all snatched up by the chinese (Net Ease)
feels bad man
Same thing will happen to those 2.
>it feels bad that a guy who was doing jackshit for the past 10 years at PG is finally leaving
No, this is a good thing. W101 being a financial flop tarnished his reputation at the company and basically placed him in a harmless position stripped of creativity. This is him leaving in hopes to be incharge of a project again.
Nope, they're going to Level-5 as they despise China.
I told you morons Japanese games are dying but you didn't listen.
Every time there is a generation shift, lot of knowledge and culture is lost. In Japan this happens slower than in the west though.
I’m hoping that when Suda51 said NetEase gave Grasshopper “full creative freedom” he really meant that.
in a perfect world they would have made revengeance 2, actually delivered on scalebound and made bayonetta 2/3 to be better than dmc
In a perfect world Saito would have gotten to make his kill la kill or berserk instead of being damned to the squeenix mines to make babylons fall
W101 flopping was proof that Kamiya was too smart for vidya
if he was so smart, why couldn't he find a way to persuade people to buy it?
I'm still confused about what the hell exactly Scalebound was meant to be. Okay fine, the core was an Ubisoft template open-world with some RPG elements, but then on top of that you had DMC/Bayo combat with a big AI dragon plus multiplayer dungeons that'd turn into Panzer Dragoon or something? Sounds like about three games forced into one - a big mess.
It could've worked without the multiplayer I think, just as an RPG with stylish action game combat.
The weird mismatched multiplayer was added at the insistence of Microsoft. They kept citing Monster Hunter as an influence during promo interviews, but I really don't know how that would work with DMC-style combat and then on top of that you have the big dragon following you about. I agree with you honestly, Scalebound sounded like a bunch of good ideas thrown into a blender to create something unpalatable.
Seems like scalebound mindbroke him, it was his first major professional failure and he never recovered from it
I just want Astral Chain 2
Nintendo bought the IP off Platinum, so it'll happen, just with or without them
Holy KWAB. Firu Fishu try blocking you're self out of being fired
I used to think it was funny when he was needlessly aggressive on twitter but then as it went on it seemed like he was endlessly malding.
Kamiya's /our/ guy, he needs Ganker's support now more than ever.
It's cool to hate him now due to zoomers trying to fit in.
>literal shilling
>*SLURP* based Kamiyas daddy please give me more shitty qte Reddit fears
>im not gay sorry...except when its troony wiener
>NOOOO MUH KAMIYA ARCADE SENSIBILITIES!!!
What is he thinking right now?
My guess is that he gets recruited by some Chinese company to make his own studio, like what happened with Nagoshi from Yakuza.
>we regret
why? they might actually make a good game for once with this hack gone
cya Kakamiya!
im planning to quit my job soon (once the offer gets finalized from the new one), I've never done this and have been working at my company for a long time. Little nervous.
I wonder what's gonna happen with Astral Chain 2 now
why would anything change? If anything It gets more attention since its now their premier IP and there's nothing else sucking up resources
Taura's still around.
Whatever Nintendo wants. It's been 100% theirs for a couple years now.
Should probably just hand it to KT and see what they can do. Hopefully starting with not putting stealth shit in an action game.
they traded their ownership of Astral Chain to Nintendo for W101 so even if Platinum goes under Nintendo can take the guys that made it
Bought by Tencent or Netease like Nagoshi
Place your bets, Ganker!
>Nintendo will be acquiring Platinum Games imminently
or
>Kamiya got poached by Nintendo
First, by far. In fact, Kamiya leaving is probably a sign that Platinum is getting ready to be bought out; either by Nintendo or another company because Kamiya valued independence so much.
more likely kamiya got poached by netease since they seem to be sucking up jap auteurs
>NetEase forms a super studio of angry japanese men
might be funny
Good riddance, he should've made bayonetta a lesbian. He tried to fight his audience and is paying for it.
Good fricking riddance. Maybe Bayonetta can still be saved after all.
>>>/u/
Didn't last game make it essentially so bayo is straight in all timelines? How would you even retcon that?
By just retconning it. Bayo 3 is a stupid multiverse plot, so a dumb retcon with very little actual explanation wouldn’t even be so bad. If they’re gonna make Luka her one true love, maybe they could actually give the two more genuine screentime together instead of making Luka into a Gary Stu.
She’s tied to Luka via her story with Lukaon in Origins, so while nothing’s explicitly said, there is an implied great force that draws the two of them together. Strangely, even 2 may have been hinting at something like this given that Luka seems to run across Bayonetta by chance in that game given his dialogue when he sees her.
The """"""timelines""""" themselves were a retcon to begin with
>How would you even retcon that?
Turns out it was Bayonetta (from 2's) nightmare after she was captured by a demon queen or something. Jeanne comes and saves her from demon that captured her and game starts properly.
That sounds cute. I'd love that.
yes but they all fused in the end so that only applies to 3s world now.
Not all of them.
Egypt Bayo and france Bayo are missing their respective Lukas.
It seems each paralel Bayo spins around another support character.
Chinise Bayo is taking comand over her Luka's army.
Egypt Bayo is learning from Jeanne.
France Bayo is a mommy's girl femcel, so Luka dosen't make an appearance.
She's "learning" from Jeanne alright.
What are you trying to say here? Kamiya's gone, which means his self-insert is also gone. There might be hope left after all.
I don't understand how people can get this assblasted over which fictional characters frick. Shippers somehow manage to be even more pathetic than waifugays.
>Japanese Phil Fish
He’s gonna become a DJ now?
so project gg is kill?
Does he know he was fired or did he block the note and not read because it's in English?
Do we know what Kamiya is going to do now?
make go games again with mikami!

>Bayonetta looks as good as she always does in the next Bayo game
>”REEEEEEEE ITS WOKE THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED WITH KAMIYA”
>Ganker not remembering that they complained about that shit with Viola a character of Kamiya’s creation
Why can’t Bayonetta just have a good game untainted by outside drama? The first game still hasn’t been surpassed gameplay or story wise… But that’s not to say 2 or 3 are bad games. They’re still obscenely fun to play, but it feels like there will always be some insane unrelated controversy that taints people’s perception of the series…
BLOCKED from reentering the building
did he even do any work while he was there? man spent seemingly ever hour of his life on bird app
I haven't browsed this shithole in a while, but I decided to come check it because of this news. Good to see Kamiya still makes console warriors seethe eternally.
>he just tweeted in english
SOME
Hackmiya finally got forced out? Maybe they can save P* now.
chances Kamiya gets poached by NetEase?/
Oy vey
Watch him go to Nintendo and work as a director for their new EPD studio.
Hope he goes where he's happy. Get the feeling he was put too high up and was restrained from being a creative, especially after the shitshows that happened with Scalebound and Bayo 3. Let the man make the games he wants to build.
I'll wait for the realization of Project GG
>Get the feeling he was put too high up and was restrained from being a creative
Yes, that is indeed the case and intentional one. Both W101 and the cancelled Scalebound were financial sinkholes for the company and the best way to deal with Kamiya was to place him in a position where he wasn't intrusive to the development of games.
Platinum is saved
>no footage of project g.g. yet
>was going to be kamiya's latest directed action game since w101
>he has basically put in his two weeks notice (shit probably didn't go well)

Anon no this is destiny, don't you get it?
>Viewtiful Joe was born through Clover
>W101 was born through Platinum
It only makes sense he'll complete the trilogy at a third studio
So that means no more bayonetta?
Nah, it means more Bayonetta and Astral Chain since they have nothing else to work on. Nintendo got its own action game studio without acquiring it.
IT'S ME, AUSTIN
>tfw Platinum is creatively bankrupt
Good riddance
WHERES THE FRICKING STICKY
this is huge news
Is it? Kamiya hasn't been relevant in years.
Who will they blame when their next platinum games flop?
only good game they ever released was Metal Gear Rising, i'm not tearing up over losing mediocre talent. rip Platmid, one less kusoge studio in the world. maybe their 4 talented employees will get picked up by someone who wants to do something innovative.
Does Platinum really have enough talent or IPs that Nintendo wants enough to buy the whole company for? Sounds way more likely that they just poach the developers while Tencent buys the husk that remains.
They own The Wonderful 101: Remastered (not even the actual IP), and that's it
Kojima? Isn't that a character from Cyberpunk 2077?
Kamiya and all the games "from the creators of Diablo!!" are the reason why I don't trust game developer/designer/whatever credentials. It doesn't mean shit if you made a good game in the past, every single time I see a game come out with some bullshit like "from the creator of x/y/z" it's always shit. Just because Kamiya made some good games over a decae ago doesn't mean he'll make a single thing worth playing in the future. His name, along with everyone else's in this industry, means literally nothing.
Well that's ultimately due to the fact that videogames are created by a team of talented individuals who rely on each others strengths to compensate for each of their weaknesses. Capcom had good management skills of assembling teams of talented individuals with deadlines. Once many of these dudes left Capcom, it became clear that Capcom was one of the major reasons of success.
Xbox, you know what to do.
now platinum can make good games
This. All that bald homosexual did was shit up every project with his manchild ideas. He did not even direct anything for Christ's sake
Finally FINALLY we will get a Bayonetta game without shitty minigames because they make some bald homosexual nostalgic
Kojima was working at Platinum?
100% got booted after he made sure to keep Bayo straight. The insane seethe this game caused was something else, and with how corporate Platinum got, the execs probably hated that.
Nice schizo theory, but no. He left because he was not in a creative position since Scalebound's cancellation almost 7 years ago. A "supervisor" role is a position where you're basically in a passive position and not in a critical one. Since Kamiya was a creative person with ambition, this frustrated the shit out of him.
More realistically he was probably canned on how bad of a call trading Astral Chain for the right to rerelease W101 on other platforms was.
They did not market the game at all. I had no idea until recently that they released it on Steam.
Imagine if Kamiya, Kojima and Miyazaki made a game together
>Kamiya
Wants to include minigames every 10 steps
>Kojima
Wants to include cutscenes every 10 steps
>Miyazaki
Wants to make it a soulslike which has no cutscenes nor minigames
It would never work. Kojima and Kamiya might work though, telling a story during a minigame kek.
What was the last good game platinum put out after Bayo 3? Was Bayo 3 even good? (I didn't play it). I can't even remember their last release before Babylon's Fall
It's multiple things:
>Platinum becoming corporate and wanting to make live service games.
>Him not being in creative position for years.
>CAPOM, the studio he left because it went to shit, is now insanely successful and makes a hit after hit (whether you think their games are good and deserve it, doesn't matter), while Platinum deteriorates and just recently they got mogged by Itsuno with DMC5 when they made Bayo 3 (good game, but not as good)
>Working with westerners who try to censor shit he makes in games.
>Probably getting old and burned out and wants to make a game before he completely retires like Mikami.
There's no way that Platinum will succeed in making a live service game. Can they even muster the funds to try again after the disaster of BF?
It was funded by Square Enix, so they don't care.
they can if the assets are cheep but stylish. the problem companies have with live service games is not having the work force to pump out content fast enough or when they do have the workers the game has a ugly artstyle like knockout city or rumbleversus.
>Platinumgames
I feel like I remember the logo but can't remember what games they made.
It's that logo where the bottom of the P starts dingling like a dick, right?
WHAT!?! OH NO I CANT BELIEVE IT!!
So, any ways when is Pragmata releasing?
Black person
Good riddance, Japanese Phil Fish!
So long, gay Kamiya.

Good, I will never forgive him for the multiverse bullshit and troony son in Bayonetta 3.
>and troony son in Bayonetta 3.
huh?
Guess he's talking about Viola. She's not trans, though, just gay given her diary thingy.
good riddance, washed-up nip
DMCgays are the absolute fricking worst thing to happen to action games. I sincerely wish DMC5 never came out, you losers begging and whining about it never happening is much better than this alternative.
Jealous?~
This alternative being what? You talking shit for four years and getting hit for it every time?
The alternative being that DMCgays act like the most cancerous homosexuals on this board and you can't discuss action games because of them, that alternative.
What you're talking about only exists inside your mind. The reality is that it's always other fanbases picking fights with DMC fans.
It’s almost like DMC is the father and gold standard of action games.
