Didn't they single out DMC as one of their core franchises a little while back? They put out a list of 6 or so series they considered "leading IP" or something and I remember DMC was one of them.

Tenzarin posted:I know right I guess they figured that everyone was done with the series after dmc4 sucked so bad. DMC4 is flawed for sure, but it's no worse than DmC. Ask yourself this - what is more detrimental to action games: heavy environment reuse and the occasional garbage dice minigame, or tons of unskippable walk-and-talk segments, drawn-out platforming, and really poor boss fights?

I'm playing TMNT right now so I think the correct answer is probably "Activision"

The Korra team apparently worked on TMNT, so shock of all shocks it sucks.

The Korra game didn't suck, it was just clearly held back by being a budget game. It's decent fun for the amount it costs.

Baal posted:The Korra team apparently worked on TMNT, so shock of all shocks it sucks. TMNT was released/priced like Transformers so people expected something closer to that level of quality. Sakurazuka posted:Is it as bad as it looks? It's Bad Anarchy Reigns minus the versus mode and with AI partners that you wish would just go away and bad bosses with half a dozen health bars. It seems like it'd be more tolerable with other competent players but it's not much fun as a single-player experience and it has the same budget constraints as Transformers (boring areas with only a few repeat settings).

anarchy reigns had some bad AI partners too. remember the kraken boss where black baron would just run into its tentacles and die?

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The AI isn't any smarter here but the game demands more of them, which in turn makes them more of a nuisance because they're stupid as hell and mostly just get in the way. The game is designed around having 4 players so there are lots of "defend x" missions where you can't rely on the AI to defend anything or kill anything quickly and the bosses take forever to kill because they're tuned for co-op (high damage, absolutely insane amounts of health) but the AI doesn't consistently attack when it should and makes no effort to dodge anything so they spend most of their time reviving each other. (You only get limited continues after your party wipes, too, so you have to replay the entire stage if you die to a boss too many times.)

This argument doesn't work when Transformers has about the same amount of play time and development time and is a much better game despite being three times the price at launch. Mind you I would probably be a bit miffed if I spent 50 for it, but it's a drat solid game regardless. Captain Baal fucked around with this message at 04:48 on May 25, 2016 |

The same person directed both games, and they share some staff, but that's it (and most Platinum games have a good deal of staff overlap anyway - the company isn't divided up into teams).

And from what I can tell, it costs over three times as much, since Korra was a $15 game. edit: darn you for editing before i can see...

Of course, we don't actually know what any of these games cost to make but the Activision deal proves that you can only squeeze so much blood out of a stone.

I've been under the implication for a while that even though Platinum is an independent studio they do have separate teams since they are running a lot of projects concurrently, but I suppose this is possible. PaletteSwappedNinja posted:The higher price implies they spent more money making it (ie the team was bigger). Yeah, I wouldn't really account for the pricing meaning much other than "Activision." It's never come off to me like they've allowed more time, money, or a bigger team for any of the three games separate from the other.

I think the first game has a weird rear end bug with the end boss? I dunno if they ever patched it.

They've put the dmc series on sale so many times and the timing of this last one before E3 is no coincidence. Unless Capcom is that dumb

If we don't get anything at E3 I'm gonna be so disappointed. Now that Activision has Platinum churning out half finished garbage and Konami is turning Metal Gear into pinball this is the last hope.

I think if we got this it's safe to say E3 or TGS is where we're gonna hear about it,m. So hold out hope for now even if that Pachinko game did honestly shake my faith in a new game quite a bit.
