Vanquish is the last game from Platinum, where will they get the hype from after that?

And why won't they bring the samurai Yakuza game? It actually looks great.

They also need to reboot Phantasy Star and Shining games, they used to be great franchises in the past, but mediocre sequel after mediocre sequel killed them off.

Way I see it they need better management…Badly.

Akagi5053d ago

I agree that they need to sort their managerial department. I also think they need to create new IPs instead of clinging to their badly beaten dead horses.

*cough* SONIC *cough*

Natsu X FairyTail5053d ago

Wait wait wait. VANQUISH IS PLATINUM GAMES LAST GAME???

What they hell. They've been putting quality game for a minute!

bAyonetta and em!!

Krimmson5053d ago

Unfortunately, quality doesn't always mean profit and Bayonetta didn't do that good, sales wise.

It wasn't a complete flop but neither version broke a million.

@Natsu X FairyTail

It's only their last commitment to Sega, Platinum are independent, the deal was 4 games only. They may self publish after that, renew the deal or find a new publisher.

sikbeta5052d ago

The answer is in that picture...Yakuza!

camehlheon5053d ago

Want me to worship Sega ? Bring back the succesful series like Streets of Rage, (and please don't make it like that recent Golden Axe, oh man what a waste !) and such games.

BubblesDAVERAGE5053d ago

I would love to see a sequel ot a old beat em up...but keep it beat em up...u recall fighting force 2...wtf were they thinking...the first one was fun though

tunaks15053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

sega has been pretty good on the wii, at least with publishing
HOTD:OK
Conduit
MadWorld
Conduit 1 & 2
Sonic Colors
Ghost Squad

Mahr5052d ago

All those games are counter-balanced by the half a dozen average-to-poor Sonic games and Tournament of Legends, though.

If Sega were at all interested in being a good publisher on the system, Wii would be getting a sequel to Overkill instead of another High Voltage Con-job.

DA_SHREDDER5053d ago

I will tell you why they suck. They make AAA games like Skies of Arcadia and Im having withdraws till this day. Oh and they didn't publish Armada 2. Sega, you fuckin suck a big one.

GeoramA5053d ago

We got Yakuza 3 this year, and Yakuza 4 is coming to the US next year.

They're alright in my book.

Infernostew5053d ago

I'm glad Sega is showing Yakuza some love for once but you know they'll release it during an awful month or week and then blame their fans for not buying the game. Sega of America really need to get their act together but at least they're localizing Yakuza 4 but not after dumping Yakuza 3 and Resonance of Fate in a very crowded month.

Sega's Profits Are Up, But It's Mostly Down To Pachislots

Sega has released its financial statement for the 2023-24 fiscal year, and profits may be up, but it's mostly not down to video games.

Infinite Space: The Story Of A Forgotten Space Opera And Sega's Negligence

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

ZeekQuattro24d ago

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

CDbiggen24d ago

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

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.

FreeckyCake36d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX36d ago

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.

Friendlygamer36d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils36d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

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 )

jznrpg36d ago

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
