After working with Activision for The Legend of Korra and Transformers Devastation, the prolific minds at PlatinumGames seem to be at it again with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan.
Want to know all the TMNT games released to date? There are many which worked well, and some which didn't. Here's a complete history!
It's sad this comic book turned tabletop roleplaying game never got a good video game.
After the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum Games seems doomed to collapse. But can they find retribution on the horizon?
Absolutely agreed even though I really like Platinum Games I always felt they were hit or miss don't get me wrong Bayonetta and Vanquish are amazing titles the same with wonderful 101 but anything other than that has always been very questionable by them and I believe they had a huge consistency problem.
I'm happy that Nier feels like one of those amazing top games by this team, but I also worry because to my understanding that games development was literally split from the team that was creating the specific story and RPG elements to platinumgames Joseph physically creating the gameplay so it definitely makes me wonder if their team is just drawn too thin.
Right now I'm literally questioning how Nier would have turned out if just Platinum Games was simply working on it and none of the staff from Square Enix
Maybe them simply focused on creating 1 aspect of that game is why it was able to turn out so well in terms of how it feels.
Even though it's pretty easy to blame Microsoft in regards to the cancellation of scalebound if you consider they could have simply put in another team to assist them through the development but at the end of the day they still also contracted this team to do something in the first place.
That's basically like getting mad at a team for struggling to build your kitchen yet paying more money to another team to help the other team to build your kitchen.
I mean the way I see it is Microsoft really shouldn't have to do that if they had a very clear and honest deal with Platinum Games for them to create something for them.
I worry about this company's future because of all the bad releases they've had in the past as of right now the last great game I even remember from this team is probably Bayonetta 2.
I think they need to work on less projects and focus on better and more quality products

'Doomed to collapse'.
Haha. Much drama... they expect people to read this s***?
True, Epic Games #EPICFAIL #UE4RETAREDSLOW #EPICCEOLOVESMOBILE. KH0.2 can't even run 1080p60 on PS4PRO.
Activision has pulled five games from digital storefronts, including a pair of Spider-Man games, a pair of TMNT games, and a Fast & Furious game.
Since it's not just Spider-man, it may not be a simple case of franchise rights moving to another publisher. Fast and the Furious and TMNT aren't owned by Marvel/ Disney.
Activision may simply be trying to push away from licensed franchise products
also the 2 worst ninja turtles games ever made, the recent nickelodeon games, atleast those had some of the charm of the tv series and old style tmnt games.
Spider man taking down because of the new one. These taken down because they are utter garbage.
Spider-man isn't being taken down because of the new one coming up. It's being taken down because just like TMNT and Fast & Furious, they are no longer willing to pay the digital licenses on most of their franchise products.
I mean I could see it, but damn seems like PlatinumGames is stretching themselves a little thin at this point. Just hope this is another Transformers Devastation and less Legend of Korra.
By platinum??? It has a decent chance at being good then.. Action packed beat em up would be great.. Sucks that its cross gen though..
I just hope its longer then transformers and has coop online!
Only one question, who should do the music? It's going to be pretty hard to top Vince Dicola's work on Devastation but this may be just as good albeit a different flavour.
