He did?
Not to contradict you, but this logic applied pretty well to a sequel to Bayonetta before 2 was even announced.
First one was a success, for its genre and it also was multiplat...but making it Nintendo exclusive, on Wii U from all console? This is almost a guaranteed money dump.
So as for Bayo 3, I'm still hopeful.
Yeah, agree. Also from what I heard people didn't say that it was a poor game it was more that is wasn't running well and that is something that can be fixed.The game looked really bad at E3 last year, but to have the whole thing scuttled? That has to be tremendously damaging for the likes of Platinum.

He's been silent since December. Pretty telling too considering how active he is on twitter.
Next week in game magazines.
Don't go...

I highly doubt Crackdown gets cancelled. Hell, I think its destruction tech will be one of the things they try to sell Scorpio on.
Oh for fuck sake. If Microsoft have some brains they won't do this, because outrage will be huge. Lionhead and some free2play garbage is one thing, but canceling Kamiya's dream game is brand suicide.
This is never good when it happens, but Microsoft also has to be careful I think. The game just really never looked as if it was getting Platinum's full talent/resources. Not sure why that was, but it really looked like something big was missing from the traditional platinum games polish and gameplay, and I don't know what the history is like with either Microsoft or other publishers getting burned in this way, but during that time Platinum released quite a few other titles. If this turns out true it makes you wonder now if Scalebound ever truly had Platinum's full arsenal of talent or attention, because, honestly, it didn't appear as if it did.
LMAO, are you serious?Oh for fuck sake. If Microsoft have some brains they won't do this, because outrage will be huge. Lionhead and some free2play garbage is one thing, but canceling Kamiya's dream game is brand suicide.
People can try to blame MS as much as they want to for this and they likely share some blame. But people can't just ignore Platinum. The game has looked rough as hell at every showing and it was them developing it.
Yea I have a feeling ms probably meddled enough to try and make it more appealing to the western audience and platinum just couldn't handle the increase in scope.Eh, MS is more at blame here than you'd think. But that story will be out in due time, don't worry.
Bayonetta 2 flopped harder than Bayo 1 so that's incredibly unlikely.This will free up Kamiya to make Bayo 3 for Switch.
I totally meant MS as that company that throws more money. My bad for not making it clear.
If it's true my guess is too much MS meddling. They simply do not seem to have a good grasp of properly managing game developers.
He did?
Bayonetta 2?
Devil's Third?
BG&E2?
I imagine this will be an issue for Platinum.
1.) They have over 200 staff, presumably at least half of which were making Scalebound.
2.) Nier Automata is about to go gold, and Yoko Taro makes it sound like it's not going into sequel mode right away.
3.) Activision killed off their licensed game division, so that's not an option anymore.
4.) They have the Gran Blue Fantasy project and Lost Order, but I'm assuming that was going to take on Nier's staff given Kamiya wasn't attached to it.
Now they need to get a project from someone on a short turnaround for a ton of staff in an era where that kind of thing is pretty hard to do, and they were struggling to get contracts even when that was less true.

Scorpio? Its destruction tech is cloud rendered. That game solely exists because a company made a cloud-rendered physics engine & MS wants to use it to sell Azure cloud rendering to game developers. The added power of Scorpio has no factor in what its doing. And from what I heard, CD3 development has been rough for awhile now, but you can already tell that yourself; we've seen even less of it than Scalebound.

Wasn't there a third Mobile game? Perhaps I'm misremembering it.I imagine this will be an issue for Platinum.

Hahahaha.
Well they were all mediocre games. Thats why.
Not true at allgive it to Sony, they don't abandon games that ran into a bit of a trouble
