Look at Bayonetta, Vanquish Et al (infinite space exception) - Platinum has always been about small, tight, refined experiences that last 5-10 hours and give you a big smile.
-
Shit I wanna go back to Vanquish.

Don't agree with that entirely. On the surface, most Platinum stuff tends to involve a tight, 5-10 hour experience. However, that is layered on top of a sytem of such depth that you can easily sink many, many times that into.
That's the key to their prestige as a developer in my opinion, a high quality singleplayer experience that can be burned through in a few hours and forgotten about, combined with huge amounts of depth forged by their highly tuned mechanics.
I think I put more hours into Revengeance than Monster Hunter this year, same with Vanquish and Bayonetta, stupid amount of time logged into each title. Can't say that about many singleplayer games. -
Spot on Tempy!
I've limited gaming time at the moment, so I played though Bayonetta and Vanquish once.
Having watched videos of people playing them on a harder skill setting, you can see how the games are played 'properly'. There's a great deal of replayability to be had.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime -
The problem with Platinum games is the problem with most AAA (Japanese) games - too much cumbersome storytime bullshit at odds with what the studio actually knows how to do. They grasp for arcadeishness but shun arcade purity, and it just sours or at least seriously neutralises the whole experience. -
I'd even agree with that, they waste far too much time on it. Luckily they've facilitated the skipping of them quite easily in most of their titles, and in Revengeance the MGS bullshit is a great deal of the attraction for me, although on subsequent plays the bits where you're forced to wander around during dialogue really rankle.
IPs that Platinum should tackle: Zone of the Enders -
I should have really clarified that. I meant 5-10 hours I getting from start of plot to end of game. Certainly not in terms of replayability
-
Christ i put soooo much time into Vanquish to get that spot in the top 20 on Challenge 1. i remember starting to tackle challenge 2 and i just thought i can't do it, i can't commit to playing for that amount of time every day haha.Today is the shadow of tomorrow.

I'd like to see Platinum do another Burning Rangers.
Or Star Fox, or Space Harrier, or....

We shall celebrate the release of Kamiya-sama's new game with a selection of his best tweets.
-
What a guy!!I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.
-
I sway between loving him and hating him because of the shit he says.
But some of the shit he says, ha! -
God damit. It's like a Phil Fish who knows how to handle himself.
-
Gotta admire the economy. That's not just his ESL determining things.
-
Quoting and responding in 140 chars and just gettin it done.
-
Not in his native language, either!

Wasn't B bemoaning the "cool" in the games Dev world? You might as well put some shades and a leather jacket on Kami

1 out of 2 anyway.

Neat how they're basing the enemies on these guys.
Wouldn't be the first time this has happened in videogames but still. -
They turn up in Okami as well, yup.
Also, gotta say that I really dig the miniature city style focus they've got on these screens. Can't remember what it's called but it's that technique that makes real stuff look like model cityscapes. Big fan.
When I Bayonetta 2 out? I might end up picking a WiiU up at christmas, I'm not in on the Next Gen and titles like this and the possibility to play Monster Hunter with pretty HD monsters is a big draw. -
reminds me of the pokemon baltoy and its evolution claydoll (ground/psychic type).
-
Aye, it's a common local trope. Best iteration:

I don't think Bayonetta 2's release date has been announced yet.
I'm guessing 2014, unfortunately.
