look pretty good will have to buy it when it comes out

I bought Transformer: Devastation, which is also a platinum games, but the art style is slightly odd and things are off. This TMNT game is even worse in that regard.

everything looks great except the face.

What's with the noses? Why is the new thing to give turtles noses and lips? They looked fine in the live action film. They looked fine in the 80's cartoon. They looked fine in the 90's cartoon. They looked fine in TMNT. Honestly, why?

That screenshot's pretty clearly a WIP man.

-Gespenst-3054d ago

So this is Transformers Devastation with a TMNT paintjob? Activision are the worst for milking successful things. I expect we'll see another 5 or 6 games like this.

AnotherProGamer3054d ago

At least its a paintjob with Platinum's great gameplay

I won't mind 5 or 6 more action games rehashes by Platinum since their gameplay is so fun and fluid

ShadowWolf7123053d ago

Well it's DEFINITELY set in the IDW-verse.

I am now 100% sold.

It's sad this comic book turned tabletop roleplaying game never got a good video game.

Is Platinum Games Losing its Sheen?

After the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum Games seems doomed to collapse. But can they find retribution on the horizon?

It's what happens when you stretch yourself too thin.

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.

showtimefolks2662d ago

I think they need to work on less projects and focus on better and more quality products

Gaming_Cousin2662d ago

I wouldn't want to develop for a company that treats me harshly

'Doomed to collapse'.

Haha. Much drama... they expect people to read this s***?

343_Guilty_Spark2662d ago

Depends on who they are working with.

True, Epic Games #EPICFAIL #UE4RETAREDSLOW #EPICCEOLOVESMOBILE. KH0.2 can't even run 1080p60 on PS4PRO.

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

gamer78042700d ago (Edited 2700d ago )

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.

Cmv382700d ago

Spider man taking down because of the new one. These taken down because they are utter garbage.

lodossrage2700d ago

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.

SirCharles2700d ago

And nothing of value was lost
