rip platinum games

It's been 6 years since their last great game and Kamiya had little to do with it.

Honestly this might be what they needed!

Astral Chain my friend

That was a fun period with that and Automata of Platinum is BACK! then Never mind.

But Kamiya had little to do with that one too!

Yeah, this doesn't bode well for the future of Platinum. The way he makes it sound is that they're either being sold or they're going to focus on the schlock that's popular now. Neither feels particularly promising for their future.

I dont think this really has much of an effect one way or the other. The problem with Platinum is too many projects expanding into areas that Platinum is not comfortable with at all. It was happening with Kamiya there so it doesnt really affect that if he leaves. So yeah I dont get where the RIP Platinum comments are coming from, but it might be RIP Platinum anyway.

Horny Bayonetta gacha game incoming that will make them more money in the first year than all of their previous titles combined probably.

In my mind Kamiya was Platinum so.

That's what Scalebound was, haha.

You never know, PG might go from strength to strength now.
Kamiya might have been an old school head holding them back with some dated ideals.

It's been RIP Platinum for a while now. Babylon's Fall was the nail.

Platinum's been dead since we learned they worked on FFXVI. Just look how that game turned out compared to Nier Automata.

Whatever Taura's next game is will be absolutely make or break for Platinum at this point, I feel. He's the only superstar they have left and if it turns out even he can't make a game of quality under whatever shitshow the company has morphed into then that's pretty much curtains.

Bummer that we'll probably never see whatever Project GG was going to be - Kamiya's other superhero games were both extraordinary.

?

I mean the only thing that really matters in regards to Platinum's contribution is combat, and the XVI combat is better than Automata's.

Like, I think Automata is a better game overall, but XVI definitely plays better.

Anyways, Cereza and the Lost Demon seemed to have a really positive reception too, though it didn't sell well. Everyone who plays it seems super into it.

Takahisa Taura was lead on Nier Automata and Astral Chain, and did the XVI work too. Maybe he's the new kid to follow.

Kamiya seemed like he got too high up in the business exec sphere too quickly at Platinum. It truly was an indie company when they formed it, and it's not close to that anymore. If he goes off to do more indie stuff that could be really great.

Also I always felt that Platinum excelled mostly in their licensed games. Bayonetta is their only truly great IP, and that came from Kamiya's pure manic post-Capcom energy. But MGR and Nier are basically perfect. Korra seemed kinda mid but it's still by far the best Nickelodeon game.
