People in the other thread confirmed that prior tweets by the PG account teased Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta. They're just going through all their games. I wouldn't take this as confirmation of anything.

You ain't taking me down with you bro.
Yes. Digital only in NA and EU.
Whatever trailer they have in mind for DMC5, they should just play this track over it because it's going to be way more hype than whatever else they play in the background.

Remember this?
this hype better be worth it, too late to dial back now.

They're re-releasing DMC4 with new content. NO ONE saw that coming. They could easily re-establish the IP and keep they hype alive with a move like this.
I want to BELIEVE, I really do but I'll just stay reserved and only make the most logical and efficient move before me. I'll just wait and see what they do with no expectation going in.
Vergil would want it that way.
If both games are reveals at E3, I would seriously wonder what TGS could do to top that? I mean, HOW do you top that?

That was before Kojima was ousted though and he was the main supporter of PG, so I'd be skeptical of MGR2 more than hyped. But as you can see with the DMC5 hype train, hype cannot be contained by skepticism..

Never a better time to be a character action fan!
Just a small history lesson:
When DMC4 was first unveiled, there were absolutely no rumors or leaks prior to its announcement. It was a legit surprise at the Sony conference. DMC3SE had just released so it was even more unlikely that Capcom had something for DMC at E3.
There's more chance for DMC5 being at this year's E3 than it was for DMC4 when it got announced for the first time.
Of course IF they do announce DMC5 I hope to see a bit more than that. Nothing about that initial trailer ended up being true.... it wasn't a PS3 exclusive, Dante was re-designed and even the logo was different. So whatever is presented, hopefully it's more representative of the final product.

Best time to be an action fan was when DMC3, GoW and NGB were out. Back to back GOAT action games was just too much for us back then.
Here's gaf's thread on DMC4 being multiplatform: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=147121
I wasn't around for it, but it seemed like good times. If DMC5 is Sony exclusive for whatever reason, I imagine the reaction today would be pretty different, to say the least.
The golden age right here.

Fair enough. I kinda missed out on GOW and DMC3 for their first few years since my PS2 was fried at the time. Must have been a hell of an era.

omg new Platinum game confirmed?
You will cry and red?
or Bayonetta x DMC?
DMC 5 exclusive to PS? nah i dont want this unless it was neccessary.
This is getting insane.
Kamiya says a lot of things.

unlikely!

In which region is the release date the 18th?
I'm going to stick with the last-gen copy I bought at launch, but never played. I'll eventually get to it.

18th is the Japanese release date.

Well, it would be a good move on Sony's part since I would never choose a Platinum game over Itsuno's DMC5
I agree
It needs to start exactly 2 seconds before the Capcom logo even shows up, people would go nuts.

Welp looks like it might be Nintendo related, RIP MGR2.

How do you know this?
Over in the thread for that, apparently Kamiya retweeted the June 16th Nintendo Direct.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Didn't Platinum run to Nintendo to fund Bayonetta 2?
Isn't Konami essentially defunct?
????
Nintendo is publishing Metal Gear Rising 2
I doubt that means anything. Kamiya's last game was published by Nintendo, it certainly wouldn't be out of character for him to RT a Nintendo Direct announcement. I could be wrong, though. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

hmm, more Nintendo X Platinum shenanigans. nobody was expecting this soon after Bayonetta and Wonderful 101, probably a handheld game or an established ip Platinumized,
With Bayonetta 2 DLC.
My three guesses for what Platinum's next game are
1) MGR2 on account of it being teased/denied already (who the fuck celebrates a 2 year anniversary like that?)
2) Metroid revival
3) Miyamoto is handing development of the new Star Fox to Platinum
I highly doubt we're going to see a sequel to W101

Has Platinum ever had three major projects going on simultaneously? They already have Scalebound going on, plus whatever this new one is. I don't remember them ever juggling three major projects at once - Korra was a small team budget game.
Since Scalebound is a collaborative effort with Microsoft Studios, we don't necessarily know how much is being handled internally at Platinum. They were working on Bayo 2 and Wonderful 101 at the same time. I'm sure there was another small project in there as well.

Christ, it's hard to keep up with all this hype going on in here when you're away for a while.
