Someone will buy them or did kamiya fail to deliver another game and lost them money so he run away. His obsession with super heroes might held them back wew.
rip project gg (was not going to be good)
rip bayonetta 4 (lol)
yeah idk they really fricked up by even taking on Scalebound
and then they FRICKED UP EVEN FURTHER by not doing anything after nier 2, which allegedly 'saved platinum' - that was six years ago.
honestly, what have they done since? Sol Cresta? babylons fall (lol)?
>rip project gg (was not going to be good)
W101 was great so he can deliver but yes I think something happened with that game that made him quit or his people didn't want to work on it? Maybe lost nintendo funding for shitonetta.
It was almost certainly a lack of money, Platinum has had too many flops. Plus The Wonderful 101 wasn't exactly a success so Project GG wasn't a guaranteed money-maker.
>be contrarian >jealous to see capcom improving and making 3x money >try again
Hell I cant even blame konami for getting rid kojima anymore, all he does is simp actors
I doubt he hold anything against capcom moron and starting studio isn't easy but having full control over what will you make will be great for him. Glad they're spreading their talent.
He probably did have shit against Capcom. Mind you this is the guy that just didn't do what he was told, which we should be thankful for, but he did the opposite of what they asked him when he became director of 4. We got DMC out of it, but Kamiya is by jap standards an absolute loose cannon and could never be fully tard wrangled.
>making money = good game
Didn’t know we had an actual Konami exec in this thread, I presume you believe Fate: GO is one of the greatest games of all time?
Yeah. NetEase has a keen eye for washed up developers and basically giving them an easy as hell retirement. They already got Nagoshi the Yakuza guy and gave him a free studio in Tokyo + millions to "make a game." Wouldn't be surprised if we hear headlines about Kamiya and Mikami getting chinkbucks from NetEase as well.
He mad ugly hags on DMC V. I don't want him to touch the game.

Its a nonsensical argument to deflect from their prudish sensibilities otherwise they would apply that standard to other situations and look like an utter schizo
Have you not noticed since the 2010s that every Capcom IP outside of Megaman been westernized to a certain point?
Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil been heavily westernized to a noticeable degree that the westerns were the people that approved SF6 designs and the ones that leading the Resident Evil since RE7.

i wouldn't say westernised but they've become more realistic than before and have lost a lot of charm visually.
>Hideaki Itsuno will also leave games after DD2.
Yep, unless he's changed his mind. I remember him mentioning that he went to the higher ups at Capcom and said that he wants a budget for DMC5 and DD2 before he retires. Once DD2 is done we will soon know what he wants to do going forward, DMC6 or retire.
That's not what happened. He was going to leave Capcom. Capcom wanted him to stay so they asked what he wanted, then he said he wanted to make DMC5 or DD2. It doesn't mean he'll stop after that, those were just his conditions for staying at Capcom.
Mikami left on a good note, I think. The whole point of Tango Gameworks according to him was creating an opportunity for him to teach and mentor younger game designers and give them a chance to create and eventually step up into leadership roles. It seemed to me like he accomplished that and it was time to move on.
Not gonna happen sadly, it looks like Mikami left Platinum because of Kamiya. He jokingly mentions how Kamiya has its own particular style and can be hard to deal with in this interview (either here or part 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAnkiZwz9I
Nier Automata is one of the worst fricking games ever made. it's glitchy as frick, it's mangled combat had no thought put into it,
it has shit mechanics, barely any depth and even if it did have depth you wouldn't be able to explore it because the fundamentally incompatible mechanics like the horribly managed RPG shit means you start killing enemies in 2 hits anyway.
F
madworld, vanquish and MGR were great and they remind me of days when I can still have dumb fun on Ganker without all this current era of Black folk and trannies everywhere
Madworld was Nishikawa who left for Tango.
Vanquish was Mikami who left to creates Tango (and recently left Tango).
Metal Gear Rising was Kenji Saito who went on to direct Transformers Devastation and co-direct... Babylon's Fall.
It was mediocre. Not even remotely the worst thing Platinum's made but forgotten for a reason. Also it was delisted years ago so you can't get it legally anymore.
DMC2 remake would be greatest thing to happen for the series. The game was too ambitious for the time and was dragged down by incompetence of staff and technical limitations.
The problems with it are more fundamental. It's honestly DmC before DmC existed. They asked audience what they wanted and made a stronger emphasis on guns and made Dante "cooler" (silent autist)
Not surprising. It happens all the time when you pander fans.
Dante originally was supposed to be silent protagonist but that got changed with DMC3 where he became whacky woohoo anime mc. DMC2 had good ideas but execution was beyond awful and it was doomed because of development hell and technical capabilities of consoles at the time.
DMC is in really good shape. There's no reason for Capcom to hire him for DMC
Capcom needs to revive Lost Planet anyway but that doesn't seem to be Kamiya's type of game
>Microsoft drops them >Cygames drops them and takes a bunch of their devs >Creates one of the biggest flops ever made with Babylon's Fall >Takes tencent money in order to survive
Yeah, I knew the company was going down at some point after all that. RIP
Can you blame them? His fanboyism was moronic >no multiplatform bayonetta >avoiding ps and pc market >niche games that could havensoldna lot better being multiplatform
The company was another victim of being trapped doing exclusive for a console that people only buy marios, zeldas and pokemons on it
Platinum never recovered from Scalebound imploding. They were already being spread thin at that part and that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Thank god. I've never seen a studio go from great to FRICKING DOGSHIT so fast and I just know it's this homosexuals fault. Glad he's leaving. Hope he kills himself. Now Platnumkino is back on the table, gentlemen.
I'm sure that Kamiya is responsible for trading their half of astral chain for the rights to wonderful 101 which sold 500 copies. That combined with Project GG being in dev hell that is never coming out was enough for him to get the boot.
Damn, Scalebound was such a dumpster fire, it got him canned even years after it was shelved. The MS curse of ruining studios is effective even if said studio never actually made a game or got acquired by them.
They ruined themselves. Microsoft gave them 4 years to make what ended up being some shitty half baked demo. They admitted they didn't have the knowhow to make big AAA games. And they still don't since all their games now are shitty small scale games.
Yeah look at what happened when given unlimited time and money to make their games.
>GBF fantasy a total failure and a waste of money >Babylon fall a total failure and a waste of money >Astral Chain being for 5 years only for it to be mediocre and sold to Nintendo >Bayonetta 3 being shit despite being in dev hell just for that long
Platinum cant make games no matter how long or how much money is given to them, they're a total failure studio.
I don't even know what you mean by the first game but that GBF Relink is made by Cygames and only contracted PG for awhile, PG has nothing to do with overall development. The game isn't even released till next year. Another game that PG was contracted to work on was Automata and that was a successful game.
Platinum is "just another" Japanese studio without Kamiya. The gameplay in his games may not be the state of the art of game design but his stories can't be replaced.
The gameplay part of Platinum games has nothing to do with Kamiya. Nier is the best example of that. It's just a template they reuse for all their productions.
>Platinum is "just another" Japanese studio without Kamiya. The gameplay in his games may not be the state of the art of game design but his stories can't be replaced.
tell me the last big game this guy directed
Actual moron here, what does directing a game actually entail? Are they in charge from the tutorial to the last boss? Or do they just say how the game should play like?
they set the vision for the game, give the designers and artists and whoever their marching orders, oftentimes directly work with all teams to make sure the work is following their vision, then make sure all the bits fit together right
Directors are idea guys that actually have ideas and ensure their ideas are followed faithfully and make concessions where needed. Basically, project managers that try to enforce their vision. Producer is there to supervise them and make sure director isn't going too far.
He was the idea guy. He direct wonderful 101 and then became a supervisor for everything else until Sol Cresta which was the most generic shmup imaginable and Project GG was supposed to be his big return but that clearly went nowhere after 3 years without any sign of life.
The two biggest things Platinum have done since Bayonetta were Nier and Astral Chain and both of those were Taura.
Yeah there's no sugarcoating this, Platinum is fricked.
He left because some shit is going down. Being bought out by another company, changing their business model to have even more live service bullshit, etc.
Platinum will be even more of a husk than it already is, and then shutter its doors. We could all feel it coming but there was still a small amount of hope they could turn things around. Oh well.
Hopefully Capcom will take advantage of this.
It could be something as simple as them just not wanting to make the sort of games Kamiya wants to make anymore. Their biggest hits in recent years like Astral Chain were attempts to broaden their appeal and only had minimal input from Kamiya. Kamiya has very specific tastes when it comes to game design and it doesn't always work out so well.
However, it probably is something like them getting bought out or some kind of corrupting influence like turning them into a mobile game studio.
I don't think Microsoft is going to be allowed to buy anything for a while. It's either Tencent or Sony. Or if things are right and truly fricked, Apple.
Platinum is the most cursed developer of all time and they still manage to make kino most of the time. It's a shame Japanese are so tight lipped about workplace drama because I'd love to know what the frick is going on over there.
Telling the actual writers to put multiverse shit into bayonetta doesn't make it a kamiya game. His contributions to the story consist of general ideas that other people have to figure out how to implement. Sol Cresta IS the most direct control over a game he had since Bayonetta and wonderful 101.
Literally the opposite. Bayo 3 and Origins have nothing to do with him while he literally directed Sol Cresta and hadn't done anything for like 10 years before that.
this. the only good part was when the game refreshed the first game or drakeguard. it was weird enough to get the normalgays interested enough but still not creep out.
It had potential but it had a lot of obvious problems, even ignoring the terrible framerate. Though I tend to think the generic protagonist was forced on them by Microsoft.
Yea that's the kind of statement you make when you want a guy gone. Wonder what happened.
BlazBlue creator Toshimichi Mori left Arc System Works the same way with no retirement party. I think Arc System Works deciding to become globo homosexual sickened him.
>I think Arc System Works deciding to become globo homosexual sickened him.
The most likely reason for him leaving was due that BlazBlue gacha game flopping hard, they didn't even added Ragna before game got shut down.
Itsuno actually makes good games and wasn't just like a stage designer for a single area in a game that was popular for reasons that had nothing to do with him.
Maybe the NG3RE, Nioh and Stranger of Paradise guys can make something good since Hayashi isn't directing stuff at Team Ninja anymore. Sure Koei Tecmo is pozzed with ESG, but if their new action games combat is good it might be worth a pirate.
He's probably planning on going to a bigger studio that actually has money where he'll be really quickly given director position for games.
It's easier than working to bring the company he partly founded up
Nobody wants him as director
Hell not even square enix wants sakaguchi as director even though this one has been kissing their asses for years
I think nips just dont like rats who only come when you have money but abandons you when you need them the most
He left because Capcom went to shit pandering to western audiences and abandoning their japaneseness. current Capcom is very different from the Capcom he left. everything he wants to do he can likely do even at Capcom
yes but unlike back then they're not copying Western Trends anymore but focusing on their own strengths. kamiya would be right at home at the new Capcom
all the big jp devs have been making shit for the last 10+ years. maybe there were some leadership issues at platinum that caused the decline but if you read interviews it seemed like inaba had the final say on business decisions. every jp director has been struggling for a long time.
executives have taken pretty much all the power away from creatives in the games industry, what are they supposed to do? we're at the point where advertising companies are publicly flexing how much control they have over brands and what content they produce. these new resident evil games are made in an AI laboratory
Reminder platinum games wanted nier automata to be a mobile game till square enix made them make it for console. They're incompetent as frick and mobile games are the best they can do. They're not a AAA developer.
The first Nier was a flop so the safest bet for a sequel was a small scale title, it’s a perfectly sensible business decision, also Vita games were not “mobile” games in the colloquial sense you disingenuous homosexual.
Inaba is the CEO and the producer for literally everything. Kamiya was the vice president and a supervisor for 13 years so his job consisted of showing up and doing nothing.
People get filtered by him because he's constantly on Twitter and has his quirks. He made good games but people act like he's some boogieman despite him basically being the face of PG there's also those morons that act like him and Itsuno are mortal fricking enemies despite him having good relationships with Itsuno
>kamiya leaving before even the slightest footage has been shown of project g.g. outside of a concept trailer >first fully kamiya-directed action game since w101
it's getting abandoned isn't it
Platinum unironically never recovered from losing Scalebound. It was clear they bet the farm on that game and it died in the crib, taking the company with it slowly but surely..
People memeing about Scalebound failing/using up too much money but don't forget: >Platinum worked for years on Granblue Fantasy: Relink only to get kicked off the project and their name scrubbed from it.
Cygames dodged a massive bullet with that.
They poached a few Platinumgames developers, and now Relink looks much better compared to the early builds:
and their work was so shit that Cygame had to start up their own studio and restart development from scratch again AND their current game looks way better than what Platinum showed off early on.
Absolutely delusional. Your shitty mobile tier game soon will be forgotten.
Tell me what Musou game has boss fights like Relink you moron, or characters that play very different from one another.
You really should play a musou game first, and then you can give your opinion.
Game looks like shit and no fanservice. Cygames got lucky with yoshida's art and not many competition at the time. They're shit especially their western side that censor everything.
Just like this scam wew
and their work was so shit that Cygame had to start up their own studio and restart development from scratch again AND their current game looks way better than what Platinum showed off early on.
I always wondered what happened behind the scene. I recall not even Cygames did a proper PR speak on it considering the supposedly big deal was Platinum at the time coming off Nier Automata fame.
>scrubbed all reference to platinum games from the title
there is NO WAY that ended amicably, japan puts a massive importance on names and legacy. to get your name scrubbed from a work wholesale means platinum royally fricked up somehow.
Platinum actually used Cygames money to make Babylon Fall and other failures instead of working on Relink, failing to meet deadlines and delivering piles of tech demos and broken code whenever demanded to show something.
Platinum Games is the SOLE reason Relink got stuck in dev hell for 6 years
So yes, Cygames got extremely pissed at them
Even Platinum Games' employees took Cygames' side and fricked off from their company to join Cygames Osaka (for example the current development lead is from Platinum, worked on Rising among other things) so it's very likely that Platinum's higher ups did some bad shit to have the company's name scrapped from the game AND have people from the company frick off. It's likely they pulled an Aliens Colonial Marines with Cygames' money.
I want Hideki Kamiya to join Koei Tecmo and become the new director for the Dead or Alive series because the current Dead or Alive director is a gay Korean American named Tom Lee who hates fanservice
That does not make sense because the current people in charge of Ryu Ga Gotoku will never lose in a power struggle against Kamiya. Meanwhile, there are enough empty seats at Koei Tecmo management for Kamiya to have as much freedom as he wants because there is barely anybody at Koei Tecmo who would wienerblock him.
Tom Lee is a Korean gay who said Dead or Alive needed more Latino representation and then forced Dead or Alive 6's story to focus so much on his Latino self insert, Diego, despite the fact that actual Latino Dead or Alive fans were begging for a sexy Latina!
>“We were looking for a character that would really appeal to the West,” Lee explained. “We realized as a team that we were under-representing the Hispanic community, and we felt that was something that was needed in the Dead or Alive roster. From there, [we picked] the region of New York City and [made] this cool street fighter-type guy who kind of figured things out on his own. I thought that would be really appealing to the casual audience as well as the audience in the West.”
>Kamiya working on DoA >Most of the cast is killed off for the lols >Writing becomes le wacky to the point all the serious elements + character development from previous games is thrown out the window for shitty jokes >Won't allow the silly beach spin-offs to happen anymore because "They're not necessary anymore" in his eyes
Fricking Yoko Taro would handle the DoA IP more well than Kamiya.
I think 13 Sentinels was a success.
Vanillaware doesn't stretch themselves too thin, they just put out a game every so often. Platinum is constantly putting out flops.
2D games like Vanillaware's are more expensive than 3d games. it's harder and more time consuming to make hand drawn sprites than a single 3d model that you can pose and turn around.
they take a lot more time to make games. 13 sentinels started pre production in 2011 and finished in 2019. their new game started preproduction in 2013.
Vanillaware's a smaller scale studio, they've never overextended themselves beyond what their capable of. The most they're doing is one new game at a time, plus maybe a low budget relaunch of one of their older games. They haven't lost games in development the way Platinum have and most of their titles have launched with reasonable to good success.
Inaba we must trade our rights to astral chain so I can get wonderful 101 back. Trust me it's going to sell millions of copies and be worth way more than our most successful original idea since Bayonetta.
I guess Platinum head finally got fed up with the dead weight that is Kamyia. W101 was a failure, Scalebound fell through, Sol Cresta is so niche that people who enjoyed it can't even remember its name. He was just shitposting on twitter and doing practically nothing for the last 10 years while collecting paychecks, it makes sense that he finally got fired.
Hifi rush is great
But I literally had the idea of "DMC rhythm game with kid protagonist who fights with a guitar" in highschool.
pretty much as soon as I played DMC1 and felt DMC pause combos have a flow that's perfect for rhythm intervals.
I'm still pissed off they did my idea because I could produce it.
But hifi rush has a bunch of issues. that game has really excessive UI and is super handholdy. it doesn't match a DMC like.
Kamitani is directing an as-yet unannounced game that won't go into full development until after the new Vanillaware game is out, so it's probably 5 years out at least. His last game was 13 Sentinels from a few years back.
>do literally nothing for 13 years other than show up and say bayonetta should have short hair and she should have big kaiju boss fights >finally has to direct a game again and has full creative freedom >it looks like shit and enters dev hell
> As announced on the official PlatinumGames X account, I will be leaving PlatinumGames on October 12, 2023. This came after a lot of consideration based on my own beliefs. and was by no means an easy decision to make. However, I feel this outcome is for the best. I will continue to create in my Hideki Kamiya way. I hope you'll keep your eyes peeled.
https://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/1706202723962786259
Sounds like creative differences which could be really good or bad for both parties because let's face it, Kamiya is pretty hit or miss when it comes to designing games, but they're so wild that you overlook the flaws regardless.
Kamiya's obsession with super heroes meant that Project GG was inevitably going to be some shitty combination of wonderful 101 and the kaiju battles in bayonetta. Wouldn't be surprised if Inaba saw that shit and just shut it down especially after Kamiya convinced him to trade astral chain for wonderful 101.
Not him.
Kamiya made Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, co-directed Sol Cresta. That's his entire directing career.
Then he was involved in scenario writing/supervision/production of some of the sequels to his games/other games at Clover or Platinum. He also got Scalebound cancelled, and most likely the current game he was working on (Project G.G.)
>there's also speculation shinji mikami may replace him
Anon you're moronic.
Mikami is borderline retired, he's stopped directing games and is now just a producer at Tango.
He's not gonna go and "replace" Kamiya at a dying company, lol.
>all the great devs are now in their 60s/70s and heading off for retirement >a bunch of studios have closed/merged or even worse, been bought out by china >a lot of devs are getting their foot in the door through mobile games or gacha games
WHERE THE FRICK IS ALL THE NEW BLOOD IN JAPAN THEN?
ARE THERE NEW STUDIOS? NEW DEVS? THE YOUNGEST SUCCESSFUL 'NEW' DEV I CAN THINK OF IS MIYAZAKI
you don't want any japanese millenials working in games bro. the industry will turn to shit just like the anime industry did. just isekai games and waifu games until the next crash.
It's "only isekai and waifu" if you're a moron who has not been paying any attention. Despite the over saturation of some genres, new works are getting made all the time and are popular within their own niche. Both industries are also doing perfectly fine, there is no crash happening anytime soon outside of your delusional bird brain.
>but the devs are aching with all the skyrocketing costs of AAA crap.
All that will happen is the cost of games at retail will go up and people will keep buying it just like they keep buying everything that's been jacked up in price despite wages stagnating
ah yes, fifa, cod, fortnite and pokemon
just what i wanted
don't forget the AAA unfinished slop that comes out now that charges me more for content that should've been in the base game
>show up to work >tell the dev team to add a heckin multiverse like he just saw in his new favorite superhero movie >post on twitter for 8 hours >leave >repeat for 13 years
If Ikumi Nakamura can get a games studio off the ground just from presenting one game, getting knocked up then leaving tango gameworks. Kamiya can setup a new studio without even lifting a finger
>Tokyo-based industry consultant @serkantoto tells @VGC_News:
>“Kamiya's departure certainly is a shock for the Japanese video game industry and comes out of nowhere. It will be very difficult for Platinum to replace him not only because of his skills and track record but also because of his image, unique character and large fanbase outside Japan.
>“He may be financially independent already but probably too young to retire from the industry altogether. My suspicion is that he will resurface soon somewhere else, perhaps bankrolled by a Chinese company.”
Yes, many games only had English dubs initially. Usually when they were trying to pay homage to American action movies like literally every game Kamiya has made.
Yes
RE main games never had jap dub for years, RE itself is anomaly for being one of the very rare cases that the English VA IS the original VA for a good portion of its existence
I find that so weird. Japs aren't particularly known for their exceptional English skill. I can't play games in a different language, it just pisses me off. I tried playing Ghostwire with the JP dub but gave up after 5 minutes of anxious voice acting.
>I can't play games in a different language, it just pisses me off.
That's because you're American and you're used to having everything in English. Non-English countries don't have that luxury so they consume media in other languages all the time.

There's a difference between being inspired by western horror while still having tons of elements that it was made by people who lived in Japan and then having motion capture of western folks, having westerns write the story, and barely having any creative designs for zombies/mutants.
Wonderful 101. Scalebound was supposed to be his big game and that got cancelled. Then Project GG was supposed to be his next grand return and that clearly isn't happening.
He released good games to back up his words so people were ok with it. Now he doesn't have that anymore, he did jack shit in the last 10 years and still runs his mouth.
It's ok. He's better and bigger than kojima so will get a fat bag with ease. I hope he gets another chance to make scalebound though. It really was a passion project of his that he couldn't achieve due to his studio being incapable. But with the right studio he can make it work again.
S
I
Someone will buy them or did kamiya fail to deliver another game and lost them money so he run away. His obsession with super heroes might held them back wew.
>it's real
What the frick? If there was any doubt that Platinum is done for, it's gone now.
MGR was the last real Platinum game anyway. Name 1 (one) Kamiya directed game he made in the past 5 years.
>protip: you can't
Solasta nobody remembers it
You mean Sol Cresta
Holy frick I even forgot the name and yes it was Sol cresta
Sol Cresta moron and it's a fantastic shmup.
Sol Cresta is a great game he directed and it came out in early 2022 for every platform except Xbox.
Yeah I hoped they would bounce back eventually but i think this seals the deal. Man what a fricking shame.
based, about the damn fricking time
It's over
When does he start his failed independent studio?
More like his highly successful Kickstarter campaign carried by his name alone.
Bayonetta 4 must have been an even bigger disaster than we knew.
Too bad, Astral Chain was great but then they abandoned it to go full moron
Well frick me, meant 3.
Bayonetta 3 sold past 1 million in its first weeks. He also didn't direct that game...
So will bayonetta die?
Internal fight over power or someone will buy them?
I hope so that ugly hag has to go since her games don't sell and holding them back. Better make sexy females now. Just look at how nier sold.
>nier
is garbage compared to bayo
I didn't play it just speaking about sales. I only played bayo 1/2
Probably the latter, since it's not exactly the most expensive studio around
bye bald c**t
3 was really bad, it killed my interest for the franchise
jfc. Was he that embarrassed my Bayo 3?
>IT'S FRICKING REAL
Never take Tencent money.
rip project gg (was not going to be good)
rip bayonetta 4 (lol)
yeah idk they really fricked up by even taking on Scalebound
and then they FRICKED UP EVEN FURTHER by not doing anything after nier 2, which allegedly 'saved platinum' - that was six years ago.
honestly, what have they done since? Sol Cresta? babylons fall (lol)?
RiP W102
>rip bayonetta 4 (lol)
he doesn't even direct bayo games, he only did 1.
>rip project gg (was not going to be good)
W101 was great so he can deliver but yes I think something happened with that game that made him quit or his people didn't want to work on it? Maybe lost nintendo funding for shitonetta.
It was almost certainly a lack of money, Platinum has had too many flops. Plus The Wonderful 101 wasn't exactly a success so Project GG wasn't a guaranteed money-maker.
2b troons are never getting another game
babylon's fall is such a loss for gamers.
frick SE.
OWARI DA
99% chance Xbox gave him his own studio
No way, MS sees only dosh and Kamiya hasn't made a profitable game since he left capcom.
He might be in the running for studio director at tango gameworks since shinji mikami retired
That would be kino if they do a hi fi rush 2
>im building a team of, unique, individuals
These boomers are just contrarians and capcom understood games are made by a full team not a single entitled boomer
>leave Capcom to make their own studio
>leave their own studio to make a second their own studio
>be contrarian
>jealous to see capcom improving and making 3x money
>try again
Hell I cant even blame konami for getting rid kojima anymore, all he does is simp actors
I doubt he hold anything against capcom moron and starting studio isn't easy but having full control over what will you make will be great for him. Glad they're spreading their talent.
This boomer is shit
All he does is spend all day in twitter
He probably did have shit against Capcom. Mind you this is the guy that just didn't do what he was told, which we should be thankful for, but he did the opposite of what they asked him when he became director of 4. We got DMC out of it, but Kamiya is by jap standards an absolute loose cannon and could never be fully tard wrangled.
>making money = good game
Didn’t know we had an actual Konami exec in this thread, I presume you believe Fate: GO is one of the greatest games of all time?
The frick are you smoking moron? Konami is shit because it doesnt have any game developer, but these boomers are too expensive for what they offer
I'm glad Konami dropped Kojima because Death Stranding was fricking great. Even if the story was dogshit hamfisted nonsense.
I guarantee Mikami just frickin retired, he probably got a huge payout from Microsoft buying Bethesda
I believe one of Capcom's old time veterans invited him to work on one last game as a old crew getting back together before he fully retires.
NetEase have been scooping up japs for a couple years now, bet this is where they end up.
Yeah. NetEase has a keen eye for washed up developers and basically giving them an easy as hell retirement. They already got Nagoshi the Yakuza guy and gave him a free studio in Tokyo + millions to "make a game." Wouldn't be surprised if we hear headlines about Kamiya and Mikami getting chinkbucks from NetEase as well.
Immediately thought of this. The timing lines up too well.
what does tango gamework make?
Ghostwire Tokyo, HIFI rush and that RE clone, so only one good game (HIFI)
Hideaki Itsuno will also leave games after DD2.
???
Why should he?
He's the only one saving capcom right now
Why? Because corporate work is extremely stress inducing and Itsuno is getting old (he's already ~52)
Nah, he loves his job and isn't a whiny gay like Kamiya
>all the kino jap creators leaving or retiring
More like getting a big paycheck from microsoft
Sirs don't forget to drink ur cow piss today do the sneedful
He might stop directing games but he'll still stay on as a producer and mentor the next generation.
Lmao mentor is a meme job
Just admit nobody wants these neet boomers
It's honestly hard to even decipher your stupidity and form a real response. You need to stop drinking bleach ASAP.
Sorry you old boomers are fricking useless and lazy
No, he still wants to make Rival Schools 3
Hopefully not. I don't want westernized Rival Schools.
why would it be "westernized"
He mad ugly hags on DMC V. I don't want him to touch the game.
Lady looked cute though
It didn't her face looked like shit compared to older games.
homosexual was one of producers of Scalebound.
>homosexual was one of producers of Scalebound.
jesus
How would a video game character "consent" pretty much mental illness.
Its a nonsensical argument to deflect from their prudish sensibilities otherwise they would apply that standard to other situations and look like an utter schizo
Have you not noticed since the 2010s that every Capcom IP outside of Megaman been westernized to a certain point?
Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, and Resident Evil been heavily westernized to a noticeable degree that the westerns were the people that approved SF6 designs and the ones that leading the Resident Evil since RE7.
>Resident Evil
action slop movie games with Netflix Voice actors, 0 puzzles
Frick off tendie
i wouldn't say westernised but they've become more realistic than before and have lost a lot of charm visually.
Look at DMC5 and DD2, moron.
>DD2
okay, you're trolling lol
>mostly the same game
>except now it has "realistic"(read: worse) animations and unreal engine looking particle effects just like DMC5
here's your final reply. savor it. print it out and frame it
frick no, Power Stone 3 needs to be his swan song
>Hideaki Itsuno will also leave games after DD2.
Yep, unless he's changed his mind. I remember him mentioning that he went to the higher ups at Capcom and said that he wants a budget for DMC5 and DD2 before he retires. Once DD2 is done we will soon know what he wants to do going forward, DMC6 or retire.
That's not what happened. He was going to leave Capcom. Capcom wanted him to stay so they asked what he wanted, then he said he wanted to make DMC5 or DD2. It doesn't mean he'll stop after that, those were just his conditions for staying at Capcom.
Okay, I'll concede. It has been a long time so my memory is hazy.
>Tango losing the only thing that actually sells their games
jesus
Mikami left on a good note, I think. The whole point of Tango Gameworks according to him was creating an opportunity for him to teach and mentor younger game designers and give them a chance to create and eventually step up into leadership roles. It seemed to me like he accomplished that and it was time to move on.
Not gonna happen sadly, it looks like Mikami left Platinum because of Kamiya. He jokingly mentions how Kamiya has its own particular style and can be hard to deal with in this interview (either here or part 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgAnkiZwz9I

Tencent bros, did we make a bad investment?
meh
Maybe this will lead to him directing Okami 2 somehow. The only recent PG game I liked was Astral Chain, and he had little to do with it.
literally when was the last time this moron ever made a good game?
okami sucked ass and looked nice
god hand wasnt made by him
dmc 1 is shit
re2 also
he literally never made a single good game

Transformers was great and the soundtrack was fantastic.
Nier is worse than half the games in your decline and shit list
only Vanquish and W101 are better than Astral Chain
nobody talks about astral chain anymore, it's beyond forgotten because it was incredibly bland
nobody talks about any platinum game except bayo, mgr and automata
astral chain was good
30fps trash
gameplay first my ASS
I think AC was still good but i still have to agree with this listing, what even happen to this studio.
>what even happen to this studio
Got too popular too fast, got spread thin, multiple projects mismanaged (Scalebound, Granblue Relink)
Transformers is better than most games in the "platinum age"
Nier Automata is one of the worst fricking games ever made. it's glitchy as frick, it's mangled combat had no thought put into it,
it has shit mechanics, barely any depth and even if it did have depth you wouldn't be able to explore it because the fundamentally incompatible mechanics like the horribly managed RPG shit means you start killing enemies in 2 hits anyway.
i'm glad you added jacks now i can safely ignore your webm
90% of your neir combo is just using pod fire and specials because the melee has no fricking depth.
It's the same professional combo master playing both games that he enjoys. Nier side looks cooler and it's a better game too.
nier side looks like shit and he has to use a fricking cheat engine so the enemy doesn't die instantly.
you don't have to do that with good games.
keep telling yourself that
Astral chain and bayo origins were good though
No you just say that because is switch exclusive
Nier is carried by Yoko Taro. The gameplay aspect fhat platnium developed was shallowed as frick for an action game.
Bayo Origins is good though
Have you actually played the game?
F
madworld, vanquish and MGR were great and they remind me of days when I can still have dumb fun on Ganker without all this current era of Black folk and trannies everywhere
Madworld was Nishikawa who left for Tango.
Vanquish was Mikami who left to creates Tango (and recently left Tango).
Metal Gear Rising was Kenji Saito who went on to direct Transformers Devastation and co-direct... Babylon's Fall.
>No one remembers Korra
It was mediocre. Not even remotely the worst thing Platinum's made but forgotten for a reason. Also it was delisted years ago so you can't get it legally anymore.
AC is absolute Kino.
I loved Astral Chain though brilliant soundtrack too
Literally who leaving literally what?
what's the point of making a post like this
you'll get like 3 replies calling you a moron or a zoomer and that's it. is that really what drives you these days?
>Capcom rehires him
>we now get a DMC2 pt 2 while Itsuno is busy with DD2
oh god no
DMC2 remake would be greatest thing to happen for the series. The game was too ambitious for the time and was dragged down by incompetence of staff and technical limitations.
The problems with it are more fundamental. It's honestly DmC before DmC existed. They asked audience what they wanted and made a stronger emphasis on guns and made Dante "cooler" (silent autist)
Not surprising. It happens all the time when you pander fans.
Dante originally was supposed to be silent protagonist but that got changed with DMC3 where he became whacky woohoo anime mc. DMC2 had good ideas but execution was beyond awful and it was doomed because of development hell and technical capabilities of consoles at the time.
capcom probably wouldn't rehire him considering he asked multiple times to work on DMCV
capcom is making money right now, i don't think they need a has been director
DMC is in really good shape. There's no reason for Capcom to hire him for DMC
Capcom needs to revive Lost Planet anyway but that doesn't seem to be Kamiya's type of game
>Microsoft drops them
>Cygames drops them and takes a bunch of their devs
>Creates one of the biggest flops ever made with Babylon's Fall
>Takes tencent money in order to survive
Yeah, I knew the company was going down at some point after all that. RIP
not gonna lie only thing I do miss is NierA or whatever yoko taro is now gonna do. It was not a super good combat system, but it was okay and fun.
Proof. I can't find it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCKED
THATS FOR SIMPING FOR TRANNIES homosexual
GOOD RIDDANCE LOL
Can you blame them? His fanboyism was moronic
>no multiplatform bayonetta
>avoiding ps and pc market
>niche games that could havensoldna lot better being multiplatform
The company was another victim of being trapped doing exclusive for a console that people only buy marios, zeldas and pokemons on it
Nintendo pays for Bayonetta, nobody buys those games
>>no multiplatform bayonetta
Paid by israelitetendo
ps and pc market
Most of their games are on steam
Bayo is funded by Nintendo, there’s either exclusive Bayo or nothing, it’s been 10 years and morons like you still haven’t figured this out
Maybe nothing would have been better and wed have gotten something else out of that time
qrd on what this means for gaming? I have never bothered looking up what japanese salaryman does what
Who will Tencent pick to replace him?
Platinum never recovered from Scalebound imploding. They were already being spread thin at that part and that was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
$10 gets you $20 that he's being bought over to the chink side by NetEase
ITS OVER
Thank god. I've never seen a studio go from great to FRICKING DOGSHIT so fast and I just know it's this homosexuals fault. Glad he's leaving. Hope he kills himself. Now Platnumkino is back on the table, gentlemen.
Nah, get ready for more GAAS games. Platinum is dead.
kamiya is the reason they had GAAS in the first place
I'm sure that Kamiya is responsible for trading their half of astral chain for the rights to wonderful 101 which sold 500 copies. That combined with Project GG being in dev hell that is never coming out was enough for him to get the boot.
Damn, Scalebound was such a dumpster fire, it got him canned even years after it was shelved. The MS curse of ruining studios is effective even if said studio never actually made a game or got acquired by them.
They ruined themselves. Microsoft gave them 4 years to make what ended up being some shitty half baked demo. They admitted they didn't have the knowhow to make big AAA games. And they still don't since all their games now are shitty small scale games.
Yeah look at what happened when given unlimited time and money to make their games.
>GBF fantasy a total failure and a waste of money
>Babylon fall a total failure and a waste of money
>Astral Chain being for 5 years only for it to be mediocre and sold to Nintendo
>Bayonetta 3 being shit despite being in dev hell just for that long
Platinum cant make games no matter how long or how much money is given to them, they're a total failure studio.
At least they make games unlike studios that never deliver. Platinum also helped in FFXVI cope.
I don't even know what you mean by the first game but that GBF Relink is made by Cygames and only contracted PG for awhile, PG has nothing to do with overall development. The game isn't even released till next year. Another game that PG was contracted to work on was Automata and that was a successful game.
Platinum is "just another" Japanese studio without Kamiya. The gameplay in his games may not be the state of the art of game design but his stories can't be replaced.
The gameplay part of Platinum games has nothing to do with Kamiya. Nier is the best example of that. It's just a template they reuse for all their productions.
>Platinum is "just another" Japanese studio without Kamiya. The gameplay in his games may not be the state of the art of game design but his stories can't be replaced.
tell me the last big game this guy directed
W101 was amazing
>W101 was amazing
and 10 years old at this point
Is he being sent into the Chinese mines like Nagoshi?
I'm putting together a team...
Nobody wants them
Klaus Shwab would hire him as follow con man.
One last ride...
>game has a prison break level
These guys are almost 60 years old i doubt they want to continue directing games.
ZUN should hire them to work on Touhou Project games and drink beer with him.
Japan has long average lifespan, a lot of ojisans are still active.
And all the younger japanese are soulless cringelords making porn games and waifu simulators, your point?
AAHHHHHHH
WHERE IS MY PROJECT GG
NO GG EZ FRICK ME
>NO GG EZ FRICK ME
nice one, anon
Who
lmao good
Will people finally stop fellating this bald frick now? What a fraud
That's what he getw for blocking me
What did he do exactly? Was he an actual dev or just an ideas guy?
he was the twitter guy
he directed games and ran the studio. Something probably went really wrong with Project GG.
Actual moron here, what does directing a game actually entail? Are they in charge from the tutorial to the last boss? Or do they just say how the game should play like?
they set the vision for the game, give the designers and artists and whoever their marching orders, oftentimes directly work with all teams to make sure the work is following their vision, then make sure all the bits fit together right
Directors are idea guys that actually have ideas and ensure their ideas are followed faithfully and make concessions where needed. Basically, project managers that try to enforce their vision. Producer is there to supervise them and make sure director isn't going too far.
He was the idea guy. He direct wonderful 101 and then became a supervisor for everything else until Sol Cresta which was the most generic shmup imaginable and Project GG was supposed to be his big return but that clearly went nowhere after 3 years without any sign of life.
The two biggest things Platinum have done since Bayonetta were Nier and Astral Chain and both of those were Taura.
game directors are ascended idea guys who actually understand they have to whip multiple teams into doing their autistic bidding
It would be really funny if platinum started to become incredibly successful to the point where they can stand on their own
Inaba was the only one doing any actual work at Platinum
Maybe platinum can make a good game now, this frick has been pumping out only shit for so many years now
>Maybe platinum can make a good game now
>under tencent
there is a chance, this hack hasn't made a good game in so long, and he never would again.
Kamiya spent all fricking day on twitter acting like an edgy zoomer, I cant blame them
Kek some fricking moron earlier here was claiming japs never leaving companies made them "legends" compared to the west.
remember when Ganker used to fellate this bald b***h for being "based" even though he was a perma-butthurt social media addict
The only sane guy on troonland x, no idea why they even bother.
sounds like you're butthurt you got blocked.
I don't even have a twitter account
Friendless fatherless zoomerw will imprint on any online unternet personality like a baby duck. Divorce and social media were a mistake
Platinum have always been a poor mans Team Ninja
Censored ninja no thanks.
Team Ninja was never good
Soul vs soulless
>potential Project G.G. with no Kamina to guide it towards the goal of wrapping up herokino series trilogy perfectly
frick right off
Is Itsuno the only guy from Capcom that is still succesful?
Is Ono still behind SF6?
Fired for the shitheap that was SFV. Now he's working at DW, the FGO company
At least game had attractive females unlike troon fighter 6. Ono was gate keeper against pozz of series and he was sad about censor.
>fire Ono
>keep that moron Woshige as a game designer
ono got fired and now works for delightworks/lasengle (FGO and melty blood)
Mikami founded a very successful studio, groomed some apparently talented successors, and got to walk away with a big Microsoft payout
Whoever is in charge of RE and the MH leads will always be successful. Those 2 franchises make more than any of their other IPs.
Yeah there's no sugarcoating this, Platinum is fricked.
He left because some shit is going down. Being bought out by another company, changing their business model to have even more live service bullshit, etc.
Platinum will be even more of a husk than it already is, and then shutter its doors. We could all feel it coming but there was still a small amount of hope they could turn things around. Oh well.
Hopefully Capcom will take advantage of this.
It could be something as simple as them just not wanting to make the sort of games Kamiya wants to make anymore. Their biggest hits in recent years like Astral Chain were attempts to broaden their appeal and only had minimal input from Kamiya. Kamiya has very specific tastes when it comes to game design and it doesn't always work out so well.
However, it probably is something like them getting bought out or some kind of corrupting influence like turning them into a mobile game studio.
welp that company is done for. so who's gonna buy it? Microsoft?
I don't think Microsoft is going to be allowed to buy anything for a while. It's either Tencent or Sony. Or if things are right and truly fricked, Apple.
>MS buys Platinum
>their first task is to make KI2
I can dig it.
Platinum wouldn't know shit from dick about making a fighting game and they wouldn't definitely not nail it on their first try bruh
I thought Anarchy Reigns was basically an arena fighter? It's no traditional fighter though.
Platinum was getting woke anyway
>check twatter
>he's already blocked me
lolwat
I only ever tweetedFGO campaigns for free gemmies
Based, homosexual hasn't been the main director of a game in 14 fricking years
>2013 was 20 years ago
Platinum is the most cursed developer of all time and they still manage to make kino most of the time. It's a shame Japanese are so tight lipped about workplace drama because I'd love to know what the frick is going on over there.
>last two kamiya games
Bayo 3
Bayo Origins
>last two non-kamiya platinum games
Babylons Fall
Sol Cresta
yep, i think it is over for platinum
All of those games are bad
Telling the actual writers to put multiverse shit into bayonetta doesn't make it a kamiya game. His contributions to the story consist of general ideas that other people have to figure out how to implement. Sol Cresta IS the most direct control over a game he had since Bayonetta and wonderful 101.
Kamiya's last game was Sol Cresta and before that W101, he didn't direct Bayonetta 2/3/Origins.
Literally the opposite. Bayo 3 and Origins have nothing to do with him while he literally directed Sol Cresta and hadn't done anything for like 10 years before that.
I am also gonna say it nier automata is actually a pretty bland and boring game
the only thing that made it have any staying power was coom
this. the only good part was when the game refreshed the first game or drakeguard. it was weird enough to get the normalgays interested enough but still not creep out.
Because nier automata was made during times when it was okay to like hot girls instead of pretending to hate them

Making Bloodstained sequel
I liked bayonetta 3
Never recovered from Microsoft intentionally sabotaging the studio to buy it up for cheap, like they did with Human Head Studios and probably others.
Is Microsoft trying to buy platinum Games?
Could this have saved him?
It had potential but it had a lot of obvious problems, even ignoring the terrible framerate. Though I tend to think the generic protagonist was forced on them by Microsoft.
Not because of its quality but because of Microshart's paycheck
no and frick no
This was a huge flop from inception
It was the beginning of the end for Platinum
He's next.
Remember when people said Platinum was the Trigger of videogames?
Turns out they were completely right!
The similarities are wild. Right down to the tone of their content and their annoying fanbases.
Frick trigger for not including female nipples in kill la kill
What a cold statement kek.
Yea that's the kind of statement you make when you want a guy gone. Wonder what happened.
BlazBlue creator Toshimichi Mori left Arc System Works the same way with no retirement party. I think Arc System Works deciding to become globo homosexual sickened him.
>I think Arc System Works deciding to become globo homosexual sickened him.
The most likely reason for him leaving was due that BlazBlue gacha game flopping hard, they didn't even added Ragna before game got shut down.
No. Mori left because BlazBlue gacha flopped hard and didn't made enough money, same happens to 99% of gacha games.
Who will save J-Action now?
ENTER
4 skills
Itsuno actually makes good games and wasn't just like a stage designer for a single area in a game that was popular for reasons that had nothing to do with him.
Will he be able to make DMC6 though? And how long will it take? 5 years?
I think he said he was done with DMC after 5. Hopefully he'll make something new after DD2.
The guy that ruined how females looked frick him. No wonder he is popular with westerners since he shit dykes.
huh?
So I was correct thanks. Now put her with side by side with original lady from dmc.
that's from Dragon's Dogma 2
She looks ugly but then again I don't like DD or games that clearly pandar to westerners.
okay
Maybe the NG3RE, Nioh and Stranger of Paradise guys can make something good since Hayashi isn't directing stuff at Team Ninja anymore. Sure Koei Tecmo is pozzed with ESG, but if their new action games combat is good it might be worth a pirate.
He's probably planning on going to a bigger studio that actually has money where he'll be really quickly given director position for games.
It's easier than working to bring the company he partly founded up
>I will continue to create in my Hideki Kamiya way.
Seems like he's going independent to me.
Probably Nintendo or Capcom
Maybe Square Enix too, since they’re now only making AAA action games
Kamiya is too prima donna personality for Nintendo. He would likely get into fights with Shigeru Miyamoto
Nobody wants him as director
Hell not even square enix wants sakaguchi as director even though this one has been kissing their asses for years
I think nips just dont like rats who only come when you have money but abandons you when you need them the most
He left because Capcom went to shit pandering to western audiences and abandoning their japaneseness. current Capcom is very different from the Capcom he left. everything he wants to do he can likely do even at Capcom
capcom is still making games mainly for the west, it's their biggest market you fricking moron
yes but unlike back then they're not copying Western Trends anymore but focusing on their own strengths. kamiya would be right at home at the new Capcom
>yes but unlike back then they're not copying Western Trends anymor
what the frick am I reading
are you an actual moron anon? like legit, do you have a learning disability?
No, he left because he wanted more money while he was just browsing twitter
Yet kamiya wanted to make a new dmc because dmc makes more money than bayonetta lmao
He left Capcom because Capcom were very incompetent back then and he wanted more creative freedom.
He was a part of Clover and Clover made basically no money.

lol, lmao
I've never liked him much...
I'm happy he made DMC but DMC1 is the 2nd worst DMC game. Also he acts like Phil Fish.
People would still accept his twitter rants if he still had a pristine output of games to back him up, it's not the case anymore.
all the big jp devs have been making shit for the last 10+ years. maybe there were some leadership issues at platinum that caused the decline but if you read interviews it seemed like inaba had the final say on business decisions. every jp director has been struggling for a long time.
Boomer effect. They want to live of their name only
executives have taken pretty much all the power away from creatives in the games industry, what are they supposed to do? we're at the point where advertising companies are publicly flexing how much control they have over brands and what content they produce. these new resident evil games are made in an AI laboratory
I love you tards are mad capcom at least have people putting some efforts in their games
>Crapcom
>Effort
Yes, tendie.
where's the effort? all i see is resident evil with fortnite controls and street fighter with a fortnite battle pass
Of course tendie never played any of these games kek
More effort than in totk dlc
this is your brain on forming opinions on games by glancing at threads in your peripheral vision in Ganker's catalog
I doubt you ever played an action game, you probably are nusy being obsessed with games for toddlers and trooning as Peach or Zelda
Ada DLC alone mogs everything Kamiya did last years
haven't played his new shooter but im imagining it's at minimum 1000x times more fun
Pic rel must be in fricking shambles.
Reminder platinum games wanted nier automata to be a mobile game till square enix made them make it for console. They're incompetent as frick and mobile games are the best they can do. They're not a AAA developer.
I don't think anyone is arguing if they are or aren't. we all know they are not and thank frick for that
You have terrible reading comprehension anon.
The first Nier was a flop so the safest bet for a sequel was a small scale title, it’s a perfectly sensible business decision, also Vita games were not “mobile” games in the colloquial sense you disingenuous homosexual.
good
2010s gaming aged like milk
maybe natalie mars can save him now
Bayonetta 3 apologists are looking pretty silly rn
He had nothing to do with 3 moron.
Wait, want Kamiya like the CEO of that company?
no, just a lackey. he is just the face of platinum games.
The CEO of a company is easily kicked out if a bunch of guys up top agree to it
I bet Tencent forced him out
Inaba is the CEO and the producer for literally everything. Kamiya was the vice president and a supervisor for 13 years so his job consisted of showing up and doing nothing.
No he was Vice President, he did co-found the company though
please don't let him ruin any more good action games that might be coming
It's funny to me how people still have a raging hate boner for Kamiya like he fricked their mom or something.
HE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER, BALD FUAACK
People get filtered by him because he's constantly on Twitter and has his quirks. He made good games but people act like he's some boogieman despite him basically being the face of PG there's also those morons that act like him and Itsuno are mortal fricking enemies despite him having good relationships with Itsuno
>Snoys are still malding over Bayonetta being exclusive to Nintendo
Keeeeeeeeeeek
>tendies ignoring xbros and pcgays exist
Hi Eric, take your meds
exclusives are cringe no matter who makes them

He got the pubg money so it worked out for him. Probably pocketed 10 million from that.
>kamiya leaving before even the slightest footage has been shown of project g.g. outside of a concept trailer
>first fully kamiya-directed action game since w101
it's getting abandoned isn't it
Platinum unironically never recovered from losing Scalebound. It was clear they bet the farm on that game and it died in the crib, taking the company with it slowly but surely..
Scalebound looked like shit
So fricking generic and cringy
Okami 2 never
People memeing about Scalebound failing/using up too much money but don't forget:
>Platinum worked for years on Granblue Fantasy: Relink only to get kicked off the project and their name scrubbed from it.
Based
Relink is going to be GOTY 2024 now
Absolutely delusional. Your shitty mobile tier game soon will be forgotten.
Cygames dodged a massive bullet with that.
They poached a few Platinumgames developers, and now Relink looks much better compared to the early builds:
>and now Relink looks much better compared to the early builds:
it looks like a 5/10 musou with mobileshit aesthetics
Tell me what Musou game has boss fights like Relink you moron, or characters that play very different from one another.
You really should play a musou game first, and then you can give your opinion.
Dragon Quest Heroes, moron.
Not true, DQ Heroes still has musou type bosses, and characters still feel very similar to one another.
Partly why I said it was 5/10 and not 3/10. Don't kid yourself, it's a shitty musou. Having big MMO-like damage sponges isn't going to make it good.
lmfao
Game looks like shit and no fanservice. Cygames got lucky with yoshida's art and not many competition at the time. They're shit especially their western side that censor everything.
Just like this scam wew
You can probably toogle off the censoring, just like in Granblue Versus. But hey, it's easier to shitpost.
and their work was so shit that Cygame had to start up their own studio and restart development from scratch again AND their current game looks way better than what Platinum showed off early on.
I always wondered what happened behind the scene. I recall not even Cygames did a proper PR speak on it considering the supposedly big deal was Platinum at the time coming off Nier Automata fame.
>scrubbed all reference to platinum games from the title
there is NO WAY that ended amicably, japan puts a massive importance on names and legacy. to get your name scrubbed from a work wholesale means platinum royally fricked up somehow.
Platinum actually used Cygames money to make Babylon Fall and other failures instead of working on Relink, failing to meet deadlines and delivering piles of tech demos and broken code whenever demanded to show something.
Platinum Games is the SOLE reason Relink got stuck in dev hell for 6 years
So yes, Cygames got extremely pissed at them
Funny enough it helped Cygames to create Cygames Osaka which is their own console game studio
Even Platinum Games' employees took Cygames' side and fricked off from their company to join Cygames Osaka (for example the current development lead is from Platinum, worked on Rising among other things) so it's very likely that Platinum's higher ups did some bad shit to have the company's name scrapped from the game AND have people from the company frick off. It's likely they pulled an Aliens Colonial Marines with Cygames' money.
I want Hideki Kamiya to join Koei Tecmo and become the new director for the Dead or Alive series because the current Dead or Alive director is a gay Korean American named Tom Lee who hates fanservice
Nah that company is on it's last leg and cannot be saved. he would be better off in Ryu Ga Gotoku.
That does not make sense because the current people in charge of Ryu Ga Gotoku will never lose in a power struggle against Kamiya. Meanwhile, there are enough empty seats at Koei Tecmo management for Kamiya to have as much freedom as he wants because there is barely anybody at Koei Tecmo who would wienerblock him.
I want somebody to save the Dead or Alive franchise and it looks like Kamiya is the best person to do it.
so he can make the women ugly freaks like bayo? god no he has fricking horrible taste in women and likes troons
Tom Lee is a Korean gay who said Dead or Alive needed more Latino representation and then forced Dead or Alive 6's story to focus so much on his Latino self insert, Diego, despite the fact that actual Latino Dead or Alive fans were begging for a sexy Latina!
>“We were looking for a character that would really appeal to the West,” Lee explained. “We realized as a team that we were under-representing the Hispanic community, and we felt that was something that was needed in the Dead or Alive roster. From there, [we picked] the region of New York City and [made] this cool street fighter-type guy who kind of figured things out on his own. I thought that would be really appealing to the casual audience as well as the audience in the West.”
I didn't say this guy was good, but slant eyed phil fish isn't a better choice
>Kamiya working on DoA
>Most of the cast is killed off for the lols
>Writing becomes le wacky to the point all the serious elements + character development from previous games is thrown out the window for shitty jokes
>Won't allow the silly beach spin-offs to happen anymore because "They're not necessary anymore" in his eyes
Fricking Yoko Taro would handle the DoA IP more well than Kamiya.
Yoko Taro DoA
The ultimate futanari game
million dollar idea, right here
>Project GG was announced over 3 years ago
Giant hero bros, it's fricking over.
looks like that kaiju game is cancelled then, ,maybe if he begs, phil will give him a job
yeah, because all those studios microsoft acquired are definitely pumping out hit after hit
ya'll ready for the 2nd game crash?
I had no hope at all for Project GG. If it was anything like those kaiju fights in Bayonetta 3 it would've been fricking awful
why would he want to join a failure of a company that dont do shit with its studio? thats suicide for his career.
>3rd game of a trilogy
>time rewind
>project a go go
It was viewtiful joe 3
yeah he could join tango games and make horseshit with mikami
How the frick did Platinum die but Vanillaware still kicking?
More workers I assume also platinum isn't owned by big publisher..
I think 13 Sentinels was a success.
Vanillaware doesn't stretch themselves too thin, they just put out a game every so often. Platinum is constantly putting out flops.
scalebound. ms legitimately killed platinum in the long run lmao.
I wish Vanillaware would die for not making PC versions
because vanillaware makes 2d games for $5, platinum games actually have a budget
2D games like Vanillaware's are more expensive than 3d games. it's harder and more time consuming to make hand drawn sprites than a single 3d model that you can pose and turn around.
then explain their smaller budget and team compared to platinum
they take a lot more time to make games. 13 sentinels started pre production in 2011 and finished in 2019. their new game started preproduction in 2013.
You have honestly never played a Vanillaware game if you think this, they’re latest game is a visual novel for the majority of it’s runtime dude
Vanillaware's a smaller scale studio, they've never overextended themselves beyond what their capable of. The most they're doing is one new game at a time, plus maybe a low budget relaunch of one of their older games. They haven't lost games in development the way Platinum have and most of their titles have launched with reasonable to good success.
Is there porn of this girl?
Yes
She's called velvet
https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=velvet_%28odin_sphere%29
noice
Making absolute dogshit like Babylon's Fall. Even though Square Enix probably paid for most of it, it was still using Platinum's time and resources.
>didn't continue with Taro to make more Nier/DoD, literally their only good game
I hope they die
Inaba we must trade our rights to astral chain so I can get wonderful 101 back. Trust me it's going to sell millions of copies and be worth way more than our most successful original idea since Bayonetta.
Nothing platinum has ever made has come close to DMC
Bayo1 was amazing thop
>kamiya and mikami leave capcom
>both fail in their carreers
>itsuno and shu takumi stay at capcom
>both make ludo
Yoko Taro is just laying around convincing putting 2B at every crossover that gets made instead of making a game.
He'll run off to make games for chinks like most failed nips do
I guess Platinum head finally got fed up with the dead weight that is Kamyia. W101 was a failure, Scalebound fell through, Sol Cresta is so niche that people who enjoyed it can't even remember its name. He was just shitposting on twitter and doing practically nothing for the last 10 years while collecting paychecks, it makes sense that he finally got fired.
I thought HiFi Rush was great
no. HRT rush is not good troony. dilate
That fugly american animation style is an insult to the senses. Shouldn’t have let an american direct it
Hifi rush is great
But I literally had the idea of "DMC rhythm game with kid protagonist who fights with a guitar" in highschool.
pretty much as soon as I played DMC1 and felt DMC pause combos have a flow that's perfect for rhythm intervals.
I'm still pissed off they did my idea because I could produce it.
But hifi rush has a bunch of issues. that game has really excessive UI and is super handholdy. it doesn't match a DMC like.
Hifi rush wasnt platinum my dude, excellent game though
Can't wait for Ganker to start sucking the dick of his new NFT project.
Guys... i miss them
Bro why did you fricking remind me? Frick you man
They died out before they had the chance to rot.
F
it was a good run
With him gone it's finally allowed to shit on this mess of a game
he was never apart of it.
>he was never apart of it
So he was always involved with it?
it was about time. Bayonetta three showed he lost his edge. i bet the cancelation of scalebound still makes him mad until this day.
still, he was a industry legend and will be missed.
F
He didn't direct Bayo 3
>nagoshi out
>kamiya out
they're enacting total chigyu death
Please tell me the Dragon's Crown guy still makes vidya.
they announced a game recently and it's some 100 hour long SRPG coming next year
They literally just announced that they're making a Fire Emblem rip-off one or two weeks ago.
Kamitani is directing an as-yet unannounced game that won't go into full development until after the new Vanillaware game is out, so it's probably 5 years out at least. His last game was 13 Sentinels from a few years back.
He'll always be based for asking the Kotaku journalist "do you eat shit?"
>do literally nothing for 13 years other than show up and say bayonetta should have short hair and she should have big kaiju boss fights
>finally has to direct a game again and has full creative freedom
>it looks like shit and enters dev hell
>le based old butthole twitter japanese man leaves
And nothing of value was lost.
Hi Luke from Kotaku, you cum burping child raping Black person. How's coding these days?
10 years later and it's still funny
> As announced on the official PlatinumGames X account, I will be leaving PlatinumGames on October 12, 2023. This came after a lot of consideration based on my own beliefs. and was by no means an easy decision to make. However, I feel this outcome is for the best. I will continue to create in my Hideki Kamiya way. I hope you'll keep your eyes peeled.
https://twitter.com/PG_kamiya/status/1706202723962786259
Sounds like creative differences which could be really good or bad for both parties because let's face it, Kamiya is pretty hit or miss when it comes to designing games, but they're so wild that you overlook the flaws regardless.
Kamiya's obsession with super heroes meant that Project GG was inevitably going to be some shitty combination of wonderful 101 and the kaiju battles in bayonetta. Wouldn't be surprised if Inaba saw that shit and just shut it down especially after Kamiya convinced him to trade astral chain for wonderful 101.
Project GG was about super hero from start so your comment doesn't make sense.
what did this guy even make? I hated mgs rising. too fricking hard. good rittans
Not him.
Kamiya made Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, co-directed Sol Cresta. That's his entire directing career.
Then he was involved in scenario writing/supervision/production of some of the sequels to his games/other games at Clover or Platinum. He also got Scalebound cancelled, and most likely the current game he was working on (Project G.G.)
any news articles covering this?
https://twitter.com/gematsu/status/1706206869990015355
a few so far
MGRBros... Standing here, I realize we will never get a sequel. It's over.
Apparently he's off to China and there's also speculation shinji mikami may replace him
How does that hint at the possibility that Mikami will replace him?
>there's also speculation shinji mikami may replace him
Anon you're moronic.
Mikami is borderline retired, he's stopped directing games and is now just a producer at Tango.
He's not gonna go and "replace" Kamiya at a dying company, lol.
Lmao he stopped just when Microsoft gave him a big paycheck
>Chinese company
Oof. Such is the fate of Japanese game developers before they fade into irrelevancy until they get arrested for insider trading.
>China
There goes another one.

>a bunch of studios have closed/merged or even worse, been bought out by china
>a lot of devs are getting their foot in the door through mobile games or gacha games
WHERE THE FRICK IS ALL THE NEW BLOOD IN JAPAN THEN?
ARE THERE NEW STUDIOS? NEW DEVS? THE YOUNGEST SUCCESSFUL 'NEW' DEV I CAN THINK OF IS MIYAZAKI
kek japan still doing the whole squander/kill off experienced mentors thing
the ACVI director is very based. DQ11's director was young. RGG studios has a generational change and the new Yakuza games look fantastic so far
I think they're all like that VC4 sperg. Just mentally challenged incels with zero talent. Looking at FF7R it seems like that's the case.
you don't want any japanese millenials working in games bro. the industry will turn to shit just like the anime industry did. just isekai games and waifu games until the next crash.
It's "only isekai and waifu" if you're a moron who has not been paying any attention. Despite the over saturation of some genres, new works are getting made all the time and are popular within their own niche. Both industries are also doing perfectly fine, there is no crash happening anytime soon outside of your delusional bird brain.
They're all working at Nintendo now. There's a reason they're still going strong while everything is falling apart.
splatoon was made by completely new staff (formely interns) at nintendo
exactly
Capcom, sega and from are like the only japanese companies who have new blood and new talent
>YOUNGEST SUCCESSFUL 'NEW' DEV I CAN THINK OF IS MIYAZAKI
Anon, he's 50
that was kind of the point mate
Eeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
THE CRASH IS HAPPENING Ganker
BUY THE PHYSICAL GAMES
DON'T SELL
DON'T FRICKING SELL
IT'S OVER
EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE POZZED OR A SHITTY REMAKE NOW
IT'S ALL OVER
IT'S TUMBLING DOWN
WE FRICKING LOST
BUT WE CAN SURVIVE
DON'T GIVE IN Ganker
moron, we're not getting another crash anytime soon
The global games industry is actually even bigger than that
A crash might not be happening but the devs are aching with all the skyrocketing costs of AAA crap.
>but the devs are aching with all the skyrocketing costs of AAA crap.
All that will happen is the cost of games at retail will go up and people will keep buying it just like they keep buying everything that's been jacked up in price despite wages stagnating
That doesn't take into account how much of a buggy mess games have been. And it's gonna get worse as project gets bigger and bigger.
>too big to fail
where have i heard that one before
ah yes, fifa, cod, fortnite and pokemon
just what i wanted
don't forget the AAA unfinished slop that comes out now that charges me more for content that should've been in the base game
are those form mobile games or AAA games because i wouldn't be surprised about AAA games failing while mobile thrives.
man on rollercoaster confident it will continue to rise indefinitely
>EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE POZZED OR A SHITTY REMAKE NOW
Welcome to many, many years ago.
>show up to work
>tell the dev team to add a heckin multiverse like he just saw in his new favorite superhero movie
>post on twitter for 8 hours
>leave
>repeat for 13 years
WHAT THE ACTUAL FRICK, NO, WHERE IS PROJECT G.G.
If Ikumi Nakamura can get a games studio off the ground just from presenting one game, getting knocked up then leaving tango gameworks. Kamiya can setup a new studio without even lifting a finger
Shouldn't hire westoids to lose you money like homosexual related.
Who is this guy

i'm starting to miss his old style, we'll see something like killer7 or moonlight syndrome again?
If the teaser of his new game is anything to go by then no, it’ll be FPS
Did you miss the interview where he said if they made another Silver Case game, it'd be a first person shooter?

I guarantee he got super asspained when he showed GG to Inaba and it looked like shit and got cancelled.
>Tokyo-based industry consultant @serkantoto tells @VGC_News:
>“Kamiya's departure certainly is a shock for the Japanese video game industry and comes out of nowhere. It will be very difficult for Platinum to replace him not only because of his skills and track record but also because of his image, unique character and large fanbase outside Japan.
>“He may be financially independent already but probably too young to retire from the industry altogether. My suspicion is that he will resurface soon somewhere else, perhaps bankrolled by a Chinese company.”
>too young
first of all that homie is in his 50's
Retirement age in Japan is 65
People live a lot longer these days. If you retire in your 50s you're looking at 30-40 years where you have no income.
Can people stop pretending they actually like their games now.
bros…

Fricking finally, fricking hack
The era of single player games with no live services or DLC is fricking dead
You just got several games this year that didn't have DLC or live service crap.
Calm down.
holy shit is that 1 game with a heavy emphasis on physics puzzles obviously made for children
TotK was $70 DLC.
>Project GG is now truly vaporware
FRICK
thank god
WHY WOULD THEY WESTERNIZE RESIDENT EVIL LIKE THIS?!??!!? THE SERIES THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A FRICKING JAPANESE DUB UNTIL LIKE FRICKING REVELATIONS
Do you believe Samurai Jack is Japanese?
Hang on, Japs played these games with English voice acting?
For 20 years, yes. Same with Bayonetta and No More Heroes which didn't get JP voice acting until their respective re-releases.
I find that so weird. Japs aren't particularly known for their exceptional English skill. I can't play games in a different language, it just pisses me off. I tried playing Ghostwire with the JP dub but gave up after 5 minutes of anxious voice acting.
>I can't play games in a different language, it just pisses me off
>I can't play games in a different language, it just pisses me off.
That's because you're American and you're used to having everything in English. Non-English countries don't have that luxury so they consume media in other languages all the time.
I'm actually from Ireland where we prefer English over learning our own native language, maybe the linguocuck attitude is just engrained in us
Yes, many games only had English dubs initially. Usually when they were trying to pay homage to American action movies like literally every game Kamiya has made.
Yes
RE main games never had jap dub for years, RE itself is anomaly for being one of the very rare cases that the English VA IS the original VA for a good portion of its existence
There's a difference between being inspired by western horror while still having tons of elements that it was made by people who lived in Japan and then having motion capture of western folks, having westerns write the story, and barely having any creative designs for zombies/mutants.
>There's a difference between [POST INVALIDATED BY THESE STARTING WORDS]
didn't read
So you admit defeat. Keep sucking nu-Capcom wiener, moron.
Frick off tendie
>and then having motion capture of western folks
THE FRICKING FIRST GAME HAD AN FMV OF "WESTERN FOLKS"
IF THEY COULD HAVE MOCAPPED THEM, THEY WOULD HAVE
>Game based on old school american horror films is western like
Whoa
When was the last time he even worked on something?
Wonderful 101. Scalebound was supposed to be his big game and that got cancelled. Then Project GG was supposed to be his next grand return and that clearly isn't happening.
working with homosexuals like this
is what get your games cancelled. I believe it was DOA regardless.
Platinum is fricked
So, platinum is saved now ?
mechanically speaking astral chain was their only good non kamiya game in recent times.
Not a Platinumgay. What makes him different from yet another vidya director with his head up his own ass?
He released good games to back up his words so people were ok with it. Now he doesn't have that anymore, he did jack shit in the last 10 years and still runs his mouth.
He's the guy that made Resident Evil 2.
RE2 came out 25 years ago.
You could had Kino
And you fricked it up
Now this is not yours anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10AY1UZeOU
Get fricked
It's ok. He's better and bigger than kojima so will get a fat bag with ease. I hope he gets another chance to make scalebound though. It really was a passion project of his that he couldn't achieve due to his studio being incapable. But with the right studio he can make it work again.
Buttom mashers in shambles
why no sticky
FUARK i really loved the platinum games touch in nier automata.
his last released game as a director was wonderful 101 in like what 2011? wtf did he do since. No "supervising director" doesnt count.
This is the funniest response
