Play Dead is apparently making Limbo 2. Ha. I was wondering why Spencer was wearing that shirt.

[Buzzman]

I gotta say that montage of those smaller games was the best part so far.

[Twigg4075]

Witcher 3 looks sexy as hell.

I was expecting either the CD Projekt guys or Crystal D to announce exclusive content.

[Twigg4075]

Phantom what? I guess that is a fighting game? Meh.

[Twigg4075]

Oh yeah, some Division action.

[Buzzman]

Platinum games is weird. Didnt they make Bayonetta for the Wii U and now this game for just the XB1?

[Twigg4075]

Scalebound? New IP exclusive from Platinum.

It looks like a mix of Dragon's Dogma, Devil May Cry and Lair. The main character even looks like Dante and has his smart ass attitude.

Accidental Groan Twigg.

How do you remove them?

[Twigg4075]

A new Crackdown?

Hopefully it's more like the original than the sequel.

[Twigg4075]

No idea. I guess someone removed the ability to do that?

I guess Stevsta accidentally Groaned me too? That made zero sense.

Yup. Bayonetta 2 still hasn't released.

I'm always glad to see Platinum getting work, but it's weird that they're signing all of these exclusive deals. I do know that they had a nightmare of a time making Bayonetta on PS3, so maybe they're just trying to focus on one system per game, rather than trying multiplatform?

[padman59]

Microsoft's pitch for why you should get multiplatform games on Xbox One: We're getting all the DLC first!

Or these companies (Nintendo and MS) are throwing loads of cash at them.

I definitely thought that, but it seems weird for Platinum. They're so niche and don't exactly sell gangbusters, especially in the US, so it's hard to imagine MS throwing them a ton of money.

EDIT - Bayonetta 2/Wonderful 101 I guess kind of makes sense, since that was during Nintendo's push for "we can do third party games on here!"
