Outside of Madworld, every single one of their games is fantastic.

What's wrong with Madworld? (I've never played it)

Short and very simple mechanically. It is the definition of style over substance.

Let's discuss some franchises that'd be better if Platinum took them over:

ASSASSINS CREED V: REVENGEANCE

Castlevania

Ninja Gaiden Black is still better though, right? We don't have to pretend it isn't, do we?

We can stop pretending Ninja Gaiden had a good camera.

Considering that this is the direction that Konami has been trying (and failing, utterly) to take Castlevania for the last ten years, I don't know why they don't just bite the bullet at this point and hire Platinum to do it. Castlevania is exactly the kind of ridiculous game series that would benefit from a ridiculous game like REVENGEANCE, and I don't think Platinum could possibly write a plot more incomprehensible than the current reboot of Castlevania. (HE IS GABRIEL BELMONT... THE VAMPIRE HUNTER... AND ALSO COUNT DRACULA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!!!) AND HE IS HUNTING SATAN.... IN SPACE!!!!!!)

I can only hope this happens. They already have their foot in the door at Konami with MGR so surely Castlevania can't be that far off. Especially since Mercury Steam said they won't make anymore LoS games thank god.

According to VGChartz, Bayonetta sold the most out of any Platinum game at about 2 million units, with Revengeance coming at a close second at almost 1.5 million
aaand Wonderful 101 the least at 170,000, and Anarchy Reigns in second-lowest place selling only 300,000.
I really wish more was done to advertise these games. (Especially Anarchy Reigns since that is a multiplayer game and it is nearly impossible to find a match) I adore the games they create, and I find it really discouraging to see them constantly struggle with low sales.

Anarchy Reigns also had the best soundtrack. I would put it slightly ahead of Revengeance.

This is why we don't use vgchartz for anything. Ever.

Is it true that the PS3 port of Bayonetta has problems with framerates or graphics or something? I want to play it but I put my 360 away and don't really feel like connecting it again just for one game

It literally runs at half the framerate, sometimes less. So yea play the 360 version if you have the choice.

350K in the US specifically. If US, Japan and Europe are about the same that would total up to a little over a million, but I'd wildly guess at Europe being a little higher than the US.

edit: When this came up in the Wii U thread, I used http://www.segasammy.co.jp/english/pdf/release/20100514_hosoku_e_final.pdf#page=5 as my source, is that just copies shipped to stores?

Wow, I thought it would've been over 1mil easily. I guess Bayo2 will be lucky to break 200k on the wii u

It actually came out after the sale. What was topping the charts that week was the Presale! I think MGR Steam did ok.

Edit: Madworld owns and I'll fight any o you dummies that says otherwise.

Madworld was the beta for Anarchy Reigns.

It's not a bad game, just simple and one note.

Platinum announces a game for The Legend of Korra

I didn't know I wanted this. Apparently it's going to be a bridge between the second and third seasons.

Coming out for PC :pcgaming:
