The same thing could've been said about Street Fighter.

Looks like it's Rising 2 based on their recent Tweet. I'm sure it'll be nice for everyone to stop pretending that the 2 that showed up in Sony's Taipei Game Show stream wasn't about MGR2.

Not gonna happen, DMC games are popular in Japan. Exclusivity on Xbox will kill any chance of the game being success in Japan.
They allowed the premier fighting game franchise in gaming to be exclusive. Anything is possible.
How the hec SE allowed ROTR be timed-exclusive is another mystery.

Not happening. Is there even a market for those games on Xbox?

Itsuno is still at Capcom.
Itsuno + DMC5 > Platinum + DMC5
So I hope that rumor doesn't pan out.
To be fair, a DMC game exclusive to a Playstation platform (which the first three pretty much were) and a Xbox platform are two widely different things.

Nah. Platinum+DMC5. Itsuno+DD2.

Might be the worst prediction i've ever seen lol. The install base diff makes it that much harder to go xbox only.

You're making me choose between DMC5 by Itsuno or Dragons Dogma 2 by Itsuno?
...
Like, fuck you man.
Edit: I obviously say this in jest.

Doesn't one of the top guys there hate Sony?
Nah. I predicted earlier that Street Fighter 5 wasn't going to be presented.
lmao.

I don't think MS would be stupid enough to moneyhat another Plat title when they already have one. They may have the money, but Phil's pragmatic when it comes to not having too many "similar" games.
I'd sooner believe RE7.

i want one so bad, but Sony probably thinking it doesnt look good on paper

You're thinking of Mikami, and his issues with Sony ended a long time ago. He had issues with the PS2, but by the end of the generation he was developing God Hand for it.

Why would they? Any game outside of Bayonetta 1 and Rising have been commercial bomba's and even those 2 did not exactly sell that well.

Because they're scared of Uncharted Collection and want to instead compete with UC4 instead. /s

I will CRY laughing if it's somehow DmC2. Both from the joy AND the GAF meltdown.
No offense to PG, but I would rather they give that money to From Soft.

Ah for some reason thought it was Platinum.
They don't need one. Platinum games are adored by the hardcore audience, but they don't sell. Like, at all. The only decent seller was Metal Gear and that was because of the name behind it.
Vanquish flopped.
Wonderful 101 flopped.
Bayonetta 2 flopped.
You heard it here first, I'm 100% sure Scalebound will flop. Japanese games and Xbox don't mix. Add Platinum to the stew and you've got a bomb on your hands. If Sony wanted a game to woo the hardcore and lose money, then sure, get Kamiya on speed dial. But that's not necessary, because they've already won over all the hardcore gamers. Partnering with studios like Capcom and From make a lot more sense because they have profitable IPs that can sell and build brand awareness.
True, but I think it could sell well on PS4 overall, with Japan and all. I mean, it would be better than Xbone and probably Wii U, sales wise.
Even Bayonetta 1 was not considered a success.
Which is why I think they signed a multi game deal with MS.
There is a method to my madness, folks.

Yeah.....no way.
I get why plat would sign a multi game deal, but why would Microsoft?
Platinum's a mercenary team. They go where the money's at.

I thought a few days ago what if MGR 2 shows up at e3? Wrote it off as a dream that was not worth dreaming. I come here today with a small bit of renewed hope, I need more rising in my life.
Yeah that's what i'm saying. Platinum would take that deal, but why would Microsoft offer it them considering their games don't sell well?

It probably could, but i doubt getting a PG game is a priority for Sony at the moment, from what we are seeing there are plenty of Japanese games coming to PS4.
Personally i would rather see Sony approach Vanillaware for a PS4 game.

I'd rather have something like Okami instead of another hack and slash tbh
I'm just being facetious. MS money truck was substantially big enough - SE is not that stupid.

Yet Scalebound exists
The same reason they signed for Scalebound, I would imagine.

I'm sure they can, they just don't want to after seeing how well a Platinum game typically sells.
Is it going to sell lots of copies*? Is it going to help sell lots of XBoxes? No and no.
*Some wiggle room on this if Platinum strays from their typical design traits and adapts mainstream/Western designs.

Doubling down on Platinum worked! New game!
Hi!
-No 3DS stuff during the actual digital event except for one big game (Metroid?), but several localizations announced afterwards.
-All the Smash dlc and such will be announced during the Smash Direct, save for Ryu, who will be announced during the digital event.
-Probably some amiibo game made by the Nintendo Land team and amiibo in third party toys to life games. Amiibo. Amiibo. Amiibo.
-The rest of my predictions earlier in this thread remain the same.

Really? I mean, I agree about the story. I just don't understand the point about open world design. Every zone I've seen seems to be the same icon hunt that Ubisoft games have. The copy pasted "clear out the enemies to bring life back to the world!" crap got annoying at the 5 hour mark.
Well, they needed something to diversify the lineup. That 'shooterbox' mentality has been dogging Xbox for a long time now, even if there are aspects of it that are sort of true. Games like Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Madden sell better on Xbox. I suppose this is an attempt to diversify their portfolio and show hardcore gamers that they care.
It's a new IP, smaller potential user base, and Japan and Xbox are like water and oil. It would have to be a critical darling to sell respectable amounts, but that's not out of the question.
