Both studios subsequently dissolve when its metacritic score is too low for the publisher to pay them anything because IGN gives it 3/10. Bethesda later releases a similar, but inferior version that receives over 50 Game of the Year awards and Todd Howard is crowned the new Doritos Pope.

To be honest if "Yazuka with zombies" didn't sell Yazuka Without Zombies is less likely to sell even if it is a better game.

This thread also reminded me that I haven't beaten Vanquish yet. Mad World is not good. It is super simple and basically the definition of style over substance. You should go beat Vanquish though because that owns.

Unless you have information from somewhere else, everything I've found about WotS4 is that it was a fairly low seller (but it was also a low-budget release so it might have turned a profit.) Samurai are not really super-duper popular while zombie games, especially at the time Dead Souls was released, were the Current Hotness.

Seeing how it was a digital only release with no spoken translations it must not have cost too much to release. It must have sold well enough for them to go back and translate the dlc stuff months after release. It didn't sell millions but I'd bet they made a profit on it all things considered.

It's Xseed we're talking about, they know how to translate a game out a budget measured in ramen packets and turn a profit off it. Unless it's Trails in the Sky, in which case they turn to some goons for help.

As much as I'd like to play Revengeance 2, or even Bayonetta 2, I want Platinum to step out of their comfort zone like they did with Vanquish and make Platinum quality games in other genres. Could you imagine a Platinum vehicular combat game like Twisted Metal? If they do just make another brawler, I want them to reuse the scaling difficulty from Godhand. That poo poo was what kept the game interesting.

Infinite space isn't really platinum though. I think Hes saying he wants the pummel-dueling god-killing platinum to make non action games. Infinite space doesn't have any of the over the top insanity of a typical platinum game, its just a JRPG in space. And yes, I've been dreaming of Burnout: Revengeance and Metroid: Vanquish for quite a while

They would be perfect for F-Zero, since unfortunately Amusement Vision, the developer of GX and the Super Mokey Ball series, is no longer around. Or gently caress it, give them Kirby. Super Star was the pinnacle of the series because they made it play so much like an action game, and no other game in the series has surpassed it yet. Return to Dreamland came drat close, although it removed more abilities than it added, including awesome ones like Jet, Suplex, and Yo-Yo. notZaar posted:Metroid would be a terrible game for Platinum. Metroid isn't about fast paced or complicated fighting. It's been far too long since a proper Metroid game, Metroid Prime 3 in 2007, and even longer since the last 2D one, Zero Mission in 2004. A back to basics approach like A Link Between Worlds is what the series needs right now. That Fucking Sned fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jan 1, 2014 |

From what I gathered from the gameplay, Platinum only helped polish the game. Seems like Nude Maker did most of the design, since you have very little control over the combat which isn't very Platinumy. It was like a space Ogre Battle game, which isn't exactly what I was hoping for. Imagine if Anarchy Reigns was a Mario Party/Fusion Frenzy type game with more minigames besides Death Ball. E: who cares if Metroid isn't fastpaced enough for a platinum game, at least they wouldn't have killed the franchise like Team Ninja did. tap my mountain fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Jan 1, 2014 |

You said Metroid isn't a fast paced game about complicated fighting. Well neither is Metal Gear Solid but they still made a mechanically fun game that can fit in the series lore. They could do the same with Metroid. Hell this picture someone did up...  made me the hypest of anything ever. I'd love a Captain Falcon character action game even though it'd probably have nothing at all to do with F-Zero in general or racing or at least it wouldn't be the focus. I'd just love to see what they did with the character and what kinda game they'd cook up.

What I meant was that MGR works because MGS games always had a kickass cyborg ninja character and people wanted to play as him, so it's a logical spin off. Metroid has... those little animals that teach Samus to wall jump and shinespark. Not really ripe for spin off material.

Metroid has a kickass bounty hunter with power armor. That's not a huge stretch to action game, and at this point in the franchise's life it's not like the character has any sort of integrity for genre-crossing to damage.

It does have a bounty hunter in a suit of power armor and a gun that can shoot a variety of plasma shots and missiles attached to her arm though. You could probably make a pretty good character action game based on that. You know, sort of like Vanquish, which the guy that first suggested this recommended.

Point is you can probably make a character action game about anything as long as your concept is strong. Other M's problem wasn't Team Ninja it was the director on Nintendo's side being an rear end. Platinum doesn't have this problem really. Everyone is smart enough to let them do what they want. The issue is their games selling poorly because of [reasons].

F-Zero: Demolition Edition, where they drop all the competitors on a large asteroid/small moon/derelict space colony and back the hell away. Last racer alive (or in one contiguous piece) after five minutes wins! So basically a Redline video game with Nintendo characters.

What Platinum really needs to do is make a Star Fox-style rail shooter and just get that out of their system so they stop making me play through that in like every game they make. I'm still mad about them hiding the best boss in Bayonetta behind a like 10-minute Space Harrier tribute, why do you ask? Alright so is there any pre-loading for this game over Steam? That's one big file...

Except every game up to this point with that main character has shown it's real goddamn heavy, and she can't maneuver at all with it. Although it's a universe with like, a million bounty hunters, just have it be some competitor to Samus who rolls around with 80 swords/guns, and is trying to topple the Federation or something.

Metroid 3 and Metroid Prime felt very paced and slow and I really like that about them. Its all moot though since all Samus does nowadays is make cameos in her zoot suit.
