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

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.

How do you remove them?

 

[Twigg4075]

A new Crackdown? :yesyesyes:

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

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?

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!"

I think because their games dont sell well to begin with, they probably take te guaranteed cash up front.

 

[Buzzman]

All in All I think that was one of the better E3s Microsoft has had that I've seen. No filler content at all. The only disappointment for myself is that I didnt get blown away by anything.

Maybe. That seems like a really bad business model for the publisher though, unless they're just throwing practically nothing at Platinum.

 

[padman59]

Witcher 3 looks sexy as hell.

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

CDPRed guys have already said they aren't doing any exclusive content stuff for The Witcher 3.

I cant imagine they had to give much to make up for the amount of Playstation sales they would have.

I'm not really sure that that's how they look at it, or why they would look at it that way, but I think I've derailed this enough.

MS drop anything exciting? All I have seen of note so far are Halo re-releases.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

:beersalute:

Having the full original mp for Halo 2 is sweet.

100 total maps covering all four games. Boom. :whoa:


Price?
