Platinum’s Atsushi Inaba, producer on speedy shooter Vanquish, has highlighted differences between PS3 and 360 “architecture,” saying the former has more grunt while the latter offers “more versatility”.
“The PS3 is kind of like a sports car that’s very high-performance and specific in its usage, whereas the 360 is more like a car that everybody’s driving,” said Inaba, speaking to VG247 at E3."
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
In a wide-ranging interview with IGN, game developer legend Hideki Kamiya reveals why he left Bayonetta maker PlatinumGames and what's next.
Long shot here but with him out of the picture... MS could get PG to finish Scalebound. As it is, the project was shelved and Ms still had all the work they had done up to that point. HK's mismanagement of multiple projects is what caused MS to pull the plug, but I feel they still wanted to get it done at some point.
if MS hasnt picked it up yet,it will never return. it was cancelled in 2017. 6 years ago.
MS owns the IP, not PlatinumGames.
I have been waiting for a new Vanquish for a long time!! I barely imagine how the result could be on PS5
“My work with Platinum Games was based on a relationship of trust with the company. I decided to leave because I felt that the direction the company was heading in was different from my beliefs as a developer. Without that element of trust, I couldn’t continue working there, and so I left, so that I could continue working in what I consider to be the right way.
“I don't think of games as products, but rather as works of art. I want to put my artistry into games and deliver games that could only be made by Hideki Kamiya, so that players can enjoy Hideki Kamiya games exactly as they are. I decided to leave the company and forge my own path, to continue making games that reflect the developers who made them.”
Hideki Kamiya will be leaving PlatinumGames on October 12, 2023.
Phil better have that check ready. Hideki expertise and knowledge would be a great asset to the Xbox team and can possibly bring growth in the Asia region.
Phil already canceled a Kamiya game(Scalebound) so we know he doesn't have the check ready. And that check couldn't keep Shinji Mikami there either...but maybe?
I’m still bitter about that cancellation. Even if it was in dev hell he could’ve given it to an internal studio.

"I’m still bitter about that cancellation. Even if it was in dev hell he could’ve given it to an internal studio."
Are you crazy???
That would be extremely disrespectful!
@obscure as if one of ms's own studios would know how to get the game out the door in a great way. Remember what happened when they did that with Duke Nukem Forever?
Was the 69 billion dollar acquisition plus 8 billion for Zenimax not enough lol?
How sudden, I wonder what changed.
Maybe after the certain story choices and direction for Bayonetta 3 they can hopefully make it more like the first two games.
i've always felt platinum games lack of growth/failures can be traced back to kamiya. He seems like a very troublesome person to work with

That's interesting, I think...
Looking forward to Vanquish in the future.

EDIT :
From the article :
"“The PS3 is kind of like a sports car that’s very high-performance and specific in its usage, whereas the 360 is more like a car that everybody’s driving,” said Inaba, speaking to VG247 at E3.
“It doesn’t have the same range as a sports car, but it has more versatility.
”Vanquish impressed many at E3 with its sci-fi knee-sliding and sheer mentalness.
The game’s being developed on PS3 as a lead platform to avoid problems with porting.
The move comes after Platinum and Sega were heavily criticised for what was perceived to be a substandard PS3 version of Bayonetta.
“It’s about adapting your game to those two sorts of different frameworks,” Inaba added.
“That’s where we’re focusing. Fundamentally, the gameplay experience itself is the exact same game.”

Motomu Toriyama, the director of Final Fantasy XIII also have the similar statement I think.
If I recalled it correctly, he said that the PS3 provide much processing power but you must know how to use it.
If it is a sports car, I'll definitely handle it very well rather than my old car. :P
Similar to when Hideo Kojima described the PS3 as a cinema experience compared to 360 which was a home tv experience
ps3 is only for the elites
The ps3 isn't a sports care compared to the 360. Its more like Godzilla versus, I dont know, Elmo? I think thats a better metaphor to use.
Edit: Why the disagrees? Oh okay, I will rephrase myself. The ps3 is like a 600 hrz plasma as to where the 360 is 60 hrz LCD. Is that better?
