New screenshots from Platinum's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Why are they still milking the ninja turtles?
They stopped being relevant during the early 90's.

Sure would be nice if someone, ya know, confirmed this exists.

I mean officially.

>>324095501
That wannabe Borderlands art style just looks like shit.

Devastation got me hyped for some 80's ninja turtles design, what a shame.

>>324096297

Hey, I like this. IDW is my favorite version of TMNT right now. Its just mind-boggling that we've found all this stuff and Activision still hasn't said a word.

GRRRRD DAMNIT BOREDERLANDS!

>>324095501
I'll never understand how kids actually liked shit like TMNT or Transformers. Shit's so devoid of any sense or honesty. 30 minute toy commercials. Fucking plebs.

>>324096534
that doesn't mean they can't have dope video games senpai

Platinum haven't made a good game since Bayonetta 1

>>324096534
*tips funny-looking hat

>>324096560
This reminds me heavily of MGR.

>>324096650
Bayonetta 2 was good, just because you can only afford and xbox 360 does not mean the exclusive wii u one is bad

Whatever pays the bills I guess.

whats with the weird glow and head sets

TURTLES COUNT IT OFF

It's a Platinum game and it looks shit... who saw that coming?

I bet it will play exactly like all their other games except with more pizza and someone will shout cowabunga at the end of a level

Inb4 it has no multiplayer

Probably
If nothing else TMNT has more brand recognition value with the people who are likely to buy a video game of it than Korra

>>324098370
No local?

>>324095501
too bad all of platinums games have been shit recently. pretty to look at with some satisfying gameplay, which then gets sick quickly after executing combo #3 of 5 ad nauseum with no other gameplay to speak of

I feel like it's Platinum's go-to system for licensed games

>>324096970
That show was cool as fuck

>>324095552

Wait even MORE pandering to the shitty 80s cartoon?

Fuck.

>>324098236
Let's be fair, they made that in like a months time

I will not argue the relativity of the comics, but the TMNT themselves started as a comic and was actually much darker than the tv show ever was

>>324098532
You realize Bebop and Rocksteady are also in the new movie, right?

I want with transformers system with more content

The Transformers one wasn't bad

I'm assuming this one's not going to be bad either. That said, Platinum's not exactly known for their multiplayer.

>>324098483
Remember that MGR was licensed. Maybe they actually are a company that has a literal a-team and b-team.

>>324098602

And IDW.

Where they came minutes away from killing Don.

>>324098685
To be fair the comics left us in the air for like 2 months before we got confirmation of Donnie being alive (however that was ruined because of the FCBD previews)

>>324098675
They're working on, like, six games at the moment. Of course they have multiple teams.

>>324098674
picture the levels where the other autobots were in the battle with you then imagine being able to switch them on the fly and continue your combo thats pretty much what this game will be. I hate those headsets and glowing weapons though, seems like they use their licensed games to practice shit

>>324096010
Boco why arent you on /co/ being a fag?

>>324095951
can youstupid motherfu kers SHUT UP about whats "relevant" just enjoy what you want and stop concerning youraslf with popular opinion


ffs this is why i have a fucking problem with people

>>324098968

I'm multitasking.

>>324098962
I think the glowing weapons are to indicate when the character is ready for a combo or something, because there is no indication of the weapons glowing in the IDW comics (I say this because the designs seem based from that comic

am I the only one who hopes activision hires platinum for sequels to these games? they have the ground work done they could easily make sequels using them fixing the problems.

I just really want a Transformers two

>>324095951
Honestly, they're at one of their highest moments right now. The Nick cartoon is flawed but good, and IDW may be the best Turtles series period.

>>324096650
Korra was literally the only bad game they made since Bayonetta 1

>>324098532
That's his IDW design.

Anyways, i'm too much of a TMNT fan to pass this up.

Man why does this and transformers look like hd ports of ps2 games?

>>324099425
They're budget. Honestly I think they look fine.

>>324099347
What is Max Anarchy?

>>324099143
I hope so and that you can turn it off they really are jarring, I guess it makes sense since they do have a super attack like the autobots did but unlike them you have to be able to see their meter is full somehow even when not playing as them. I rather we have four colored gauges instead of glowing weapons though.

If that is what the glowing means

>>324099507
What is your shit taste?

>>324098675
You're totally right.
It's just that MGR is by far their best licensed title

>>324099598
I can understand that complaint. I will probably just wait and see what's like in action, it may not be as bad in motion as these stills are making it look

>>324099598
Well the glow means you can just glance at them and see if they're ready to do whatever and see what kind of shape or position they're in at the same time. You don't have to waste seconds, which can be crucial in action games, to look at them then look at some gauge on the hud that could potentially be at the opposite end of the screen from where the turtle in question is.

>>324099904
I mean like I said it is either we have the weapons glow gives us the ability to see them with out multiple huds on the screen which I know would have more people complaining.
I do not hate it just wish it was better

>>324099938
I understand and I really am excited to see if they can pull off what out of the shadows failed to do, which is have you be able to follow up combos while switching turtles.

>>324099768
Game was fucking shit stop being a faggot shill

>>324096434
Do a flip when you jump off that bridge, you worthless trip faggot.

>>324095501
The fuck is with the artstyle? I just figured they're do a TD and base it off the '80s series.

>>324100328
TD was based on the IDW generation comics which looks just like G1

>>324100328
It's based on IDW, which is honestly way better than the 80's series.

>>324100451

TD was based on some weird mix of the 80s toon and IDW.

>>324100328
While Hasbro does rehash G1 Transformers all the time. No one really cares about the 80s cartoon beyond faggots that think that and the first live action movie are the only TMNP media to ever exist.

>>324100561
Eh, the first movie is good though.

>>324101505
I enjoy the first movie and I think it is good for what it is. I'm just saying the people that think TMNT stopped getting new content after it and the 80s cartoon are faggots.

People that are actually into the franchise, people that they're trying to sell this game to, know there are better TMNT things than either of those. Hence the game not being just a rehash of the 80s cartoon and getting a look and presumably story based on one of the more recent comics.

>>324101848
Oh yeah, i'm sick of that shit too. Honestly I am glad the game is based in IDW, I really want to see Old Hob.

>>324099507
Yeah, Max Anarchy sucked but Anarchy Reigns? Now that's a helluva game.

It is the best Turtles movie by far (unless we count Turtles Forever)...but the competition isn't exactly fierce.

>>324104886
I said I enjoyed the movie. I'll even go as far to say it's good. But it's not the best TMNT has been, things since have surpassed it. Something being better than something else doesn't automatically make the something else in question shit.

>>324095501
I really hope you can remove the headset or that is only for online, I also hope the combo moves they mentioned are just classic moves from the movies like out of the shadows

Out of the Shadows had offline 2 player co-op in the campaign mode and offline 4 player co-op in the arcade mode.

>>324095645
Turtles are varying degrees of Wojak. Does that make them rare?

we got achievements
we got screen shots
we got a title
when are we getting a trailer and a release date, are they waiting for a convention to reveal it at?

>new movie turtle faces

Gross, hopefully gameplay is good.

I love 80s cartoon Krang so much, but they seem to refuse to make him into a singular character in any other iteration. It's always just his species showing up.

stuff like

>pie protector
>virtuous vigilante
>utrom buster
all sound more like mini game style gameplay like crash bash until I see a trailer I have to be worried

>>324099278

why

After this thing I want One Punch Man game by Platinum

>>324108823

>>324108631

>Out of This World
Clearly a boss fight that gives you multiple status effects.

>Soooap
Environmental hazard

>Pie Protector
>Virtuous Vigilante
>Utrom Buster

Seem like open world side objectives type shit.

None of those sound like some sort of shit you see in a mini game. The fuck are you on about?

>>324109031
It sounds like party game effects thats all I do realize now that in bayonetta you can turn into cereza so I guess they are expanding on that

>>324109152
>It sounds like party game effects

You don't even know what the effects are

am i the only one surprised platinum has yet to do a gundam game?

Why was the TF game like 1/1 the original cartoon. (They even refrence Menasor having two animation models, specifically). Yet this seems to be trying to be some modernization of the comics? I would have expected it to full on reflect the cartoon it was known for as well.

>>324109380
Yes. Has Gundam ever worked with Namco before?

>platinum should do every action game ever!
>they actually do attempt it
>its all shit

>>324096534
>devoid of any sense or honesty
What does this even mean?

>>324109430
Would you prefer it being based on Nick's show?

>>324098420
It would be great if their games weren't so derivative. Scalebound looks... different, at the very least.

>>324096534
Uhh, Transformers was a TV show made to sell toys. TMNT was a comic first, then became a multimedia franchise with cartoons, video games and toys later. You might as well say Batman was just made to sell toys.

>>324109380
I doubt that'll ever happen since it's owned by a company that can make games in house.

>>324108227
He started out as a species, to be fair, if there's a bad guy in that species, more likely than not it's Krang...though it was Shredder once.

>>324096534
That's the opposite of the truth though.
Both of those were completely transparent and upfront about being toy commercials.

>>324109430
Because Hasbro does not rehash the 80s TMNT cartoon like they do G1 Transformers, plus the G1 designs are still in use for comics. The 80s TMNT ones, far as I know, are not.

>>324107224
>do I fit in yet guys?

>>324108753
I honestly like how they're depicted in that picture. The problem with the designs in the movie...aside from the bulk and Shrek faces, was overdesigning them, but the idea is solid. I also just really like the idea of Leonardo with a scarf, and I could totally see Mikey having an MP3 player on his belt.

>>324098134

That show's pretty good so yeah that'd be fine.

>>324109735
Imagin a game like Kane & Lynch, but with Drake & Josh

>>324109430
because the g1 designs were not used? they used the IDW comic versions which follow the g1 cartoon closely but not a 1:1 match.

>>324107805
>>324108631
You seem needlessly paranoid.

>>324109869
I like the show too but i'm not 100% sure how i like the graphics style
i like thick outlines
i even complain about modern cartoons not having thick lines

I adore Platinum games but aren't most their licensed games shit? Could've sworn Korra and Transformers sucked.

>>324109869
It's alright, I just wish the Turtles were more...I dunno, competent in that series? They job a lot despite being the main characters, and come off as jerks a lot. I do like the fanboy tint they gave Leonardo, but Michelangelo in the Nick cartoon can fuck off.

>>324109948
I have gotten 3 shitty tmnt games in a row of course I am a little worried.

Why do so many people on this board have a hateboner over Platinum?

>>324110012
Transformers was solid, i'm not a Transformers fan, but it was fun, if not more shallow and short than most of their efforts.

>>324110047
I'm with you.

>Out of the Shadows...I mean, art style is weird, but it could be good.
>Okay, Danger of the Ooze, Wayforward, they can do good licensed games, they've put out solid games before.

>>324110014
>They job a lot despite being the main characters
I don't mind that. They're still students of the ninja arts and are teenagers. They're young and brash, so not being able to take on every challenge right away is to be expected.

Fuck Donatello's April Crush though. That's creepy.

>>324095501
No alopex no buy

I know I know, the comics.
But to me, TMNT has always been best when it's been unabashedly silly and cartoonish. The original cartoon, the toyline, the Konami games etc.
When I see them grim'd up like this I just assume the worst.

>>324110130
because they're good and now they're getting popular and a lot of work. So now they're bad

>>324110167
That's fine, but I mean it sometimes seem like they aren't competent at all. In the new season it feels like they're getting their asses kicked constantly, granted, it's space, all new ball game, but previous versions of turtles caught on quicker in their space adventures.

>>324110187
Don't start. I will be bummed if Old Hob doesn't show up in some capacity though.

>>324109472

People want platinum because they're the only ones who are still doing action games that are even close to the classic action / beat em up / arcade style games.

So yeah, until another company steps up, platinum is the go to Team.

>>324110401
I like her design. I would also like to see Hob get in as well. He should get his own spin off comic too. Surely there's more to him than just revenge

Alopex is wasted potential incarnate. When she was introduced in Raphael's micro I thought she'd be a great arch enemy. That didn't happen, okay fine, she's a good guy now. Wish there was more to her than the lovey dovey eyes but...oh hey! A team up with Angel and Harold, give them a 4 issue micro, some banter, chemistry, flesh out these 3 characters into a unit and...oh...more lovey dovey eyes with Raphael...okay. I hope the Kitsune thing helps out on that front, having her possessed could be...interesting.

Hob is the opposite I was glad when he got shot, but what a turn around, when he got that trench coat and was all about "i'm going to get an army and do things MY way" and started being pragmatic and charming as hell, I came around to him. At this point I am all on board for a full on Mutanimals series. I think he has some complexity, he seems to definitely care about his crew, but he's also still got his eye on his ambitions and isn't afraid to deceive or manipulate them, but you can be damn sure he'll have their back, including if it means putting a bullet in someone else's back, turtle or not.

I wanna know if Karai is in snekmode like the show or humanmode like everything else.

Sneks.

>>324110887
They probably would have considered it if that expensive as fuck reboot wasn't such an enormous abortion of a project.
I'm still mad, Cheetara and Wily Kit were cute as fuck in it.

>>324110873
I agree. I thought Alopex was going to be shredder's right hand man and have some character building from there. She should have been like what soundwave is to megatron.

And yeah I'm starting to like hob despite how one dimensional he came off in the beginning. But yeah we pretty much have the same opinions.

I'm okay with this when it comes to TMNT

I just want a mindless action game I can do bro-op on. Transformers was mindless fun, I have no problem with this basically being a reskin.

Now if only we could get Platinum to make a Spidey game.

>>324112010
I wish we could get a transformers 2 in the future with a decepticon campaign and a maybe one more autobot for a total of 12 playable characters. Is seven characters to much to ask? I do not mind if they reuse a lot of devastation assets.

>>324112010
This. I love TMNT, so so much, I don't need much, just something solid, Transformers was solid. My love of the franchise and me playing co-op with a friend can carry a lot of it.

>>324110047

You can be worried about the quality but making bat shit stupid claims like this being a Crash Bash game is just stupid.

>>324095552
That's a big Bebop

>>324110471

>>324112354
This'll be the time! I can feel it!

>there will never be another ninja turtles thing inspired by the '80s cartoon series.

feels bad. like you're denying yourself something wonderful.

Have they given a genuine "it's based on the comics" or is it up in the air at this point?

I wouldn't MIND it being based on the comics, that just doesn't seem like what they would do. The comics are probably the least well known media for TMNT, even though they originated there.

>>324112859
yea they confirmed its based on the idw series. who gives a fuck if its well known

>>324112859

They haven't even announced the game

The designs are straight up IDW and the story is being handled by IDW. That said, it does have Wingnut so and it's got to have Shredder in it, despite him being killed off in the comics, so I could see it being earlier in the continuity or in its own continuity.

No. Not if this is an IDW story. It would be horribly out of place.

Does it matter which version of the turtles are most well known? You think the average person who only saw the 80s cartoon or kid who only saw the michael bay movie is going to drop it because it doesn't match their favorite version of the turtles 100%?

The late 80's through the 90's were a different era, people had more money and so kids weren't bothered by the fact that their shows were big toy commercials because toys were bought regardless.

That aside, the original TMNT cartoon was pretty shit compared to the ideas in the comic. the 2003 series is more accurate to the original idea yet was shat on by ninties fags because they had nostolgia for the cartoon that made up characters to sell toys.

Fun fact, Shredder fucking dies very soon in the comic and is replaced by his daughter. The only reason he became the continuous villain was because they had made toys.

Karai wasn't even in the old cartoon and only appeared in like one videogame which is why nostolgia fags who saw that CGI turtles film were lost when some woman was leading the foot ninjas.

>>324114606

I have a gigantic stack of them but I never got around to reading them because I missed 1 or 2 issues and I'm autistic as shit and need to find them before I move on.

>>324114936
The 4kids vs 80's cartoon with people that liked the older one only really seemed to pop up in Turtles Forever, which pissed off a lot of those nostalgic folks. The movie...wasn't entirely inaccurate though.

There's tons of trades, I got into the series a little less than two years ago, plowed through them all in a weekend (and an embarrassing amount of money) then went to the comic shop to add it to my pull list and pick up some floppies I still needed to be entirely current. What issues are you missing? Also keep in mind that the mini series tend to be important in a lot of regards.

>>324114936
03 tv show was shit.

After the 90's tmnt nobody wanted edgy plot, we wanted to be entertained. Show had the animation right.

>>324114936

I think most nostalgia fags have an issue that for the last 20 years, Laird has done everything he can to outright downplay 80's turtles. I can understand not liking the show, because it was a pretty shit show in retrospect, but to outright ignore it and all of its elements that helped popularize the turtles is just disrespectful. The least they could do is take elements from the 80's show and adapt them in a way that works in new stories.

Which is exactly what IDW and the Nick series do and why I'm still glad that Laird sold the franchise to Nick. He was holding back the Turtles from ever coming back in a big way by just outright ignoring its most popular version.

Although I'm not a fan of the new TV show after Season 1. Did they switch writing teams or something? I can't tolerate Donnie or Mikey either, and they're my favorite turtles.

03 show has issues, it has some boring as fuck episodes, and can be a slog at times, the 4kids voice cast and soundtrack does drag it down sometimes too, and the humor whiffs more than it hits. But it still has a compelling plot, characterization, and introduces some fantastic villains. I think the Nick show is a good balance, though it also has its own issues, but the 03 show was fantastic...I also wouldn't say it was overly edgy, it toned down quite a bit of that Mirage stuff.

>>324115302

God I don't remember. It's all in storage.

Last I remember, I was missing some issues in the teens, but I kept collecting all the way up to the 40s before I stopped buying them.

>>324115560

Thanks, I'll check them out. My old comics are in storage somewhere.

>>324114936

It's nice that 03 is accurate, but christ the pacing was so fucking slow. Even I didn't want to keep up with it despite actually liking the show.

>>324115547
>Although I'm not a fan of the new TV show after Season 1. Did they switch writing teams or something? I can't tolerate Donnie or Mikey either, and they're my favorite turtles.
Yes, they switched writers. It's pretty painfully obvious too. I can't stand Mikey, Donnie has his moments of annoyance, mostly with April, but I like him at times.

I do agree with you, Laird letting go was for the best. I mean, I never expected much from Bebop & Rocksteady since they were...y'know, Bebop & Rocksteady, but IDW and Nick have done fantastic things with them. They're competent, and hell, the IDW versions are basically exactly the 80's versions, just...very very VERY overpowered and frightening. Bebop in the Nick cartoon is also a joy whenever he's on screen, and has a genuinely unique power set.

>>324096970
>that animation

I can see why that didn't last very long. Must've been expensive as shit to produce, unless the actual episodes aren't nearly as well animated.

>>324115461

The comic was actually pretty edgy compared to the 90's show, which is why the 03 show is more accurate to the comic. Also 2003 was still in an era where edginess was acceptable.

>>324115547

I'm pretty sure the nostalgia fags wouldn't have had an issue with 03 as much if they had added Beboop and Rocksteady and made Krang more than just a random Utrom.

They also seemed to really really hate the whole Shredder being an Utrom thing, which is arguably a valid reason.

>>324098675
Platinum went from a quirky Japanese developer to a contract developer. Ya know, it wasn't since the NES days when the Japanese were largely responsible for video game tie ins for western properties. Would this be the rebirth of Japanese licensed games?

>>324115840

It lasted 4 seasons, had 53 episodes and ran for 4 years anon.

Amblin Television are the best. They also did Jackie Chan Adventures, Spectacular Spider-Man and Godzilla the Animated Series

could there finally be a Toitles game that tops Turtles in Time?

>>324115954
>They also seemed to really really hate the whole Shredder being an Utrom thing, which is arguably a valid reason.
That was great, I don't even care. That Shredder was fucking nuts and intimidating. Plus...they got to have Leonardo do the decapitation without killing him.

>>324115984

Not unless it has solid multiplayer.

Out of the Shadows really tried with its arcade mode, but they decided to use the same convoluted combat system with delayed inputs and counter attacks instead of just keeping it fast and responsive. It was just a very sluggish experience.

Is PG forever trapped into making these shit licensed games?

>>324116082
NieR and Starfox?

>>324116082

>>324115830

Mikey is just horrible because they constantly have episodes where it looks like he has some development.

And then they immediately go back to him being an annoying immature piece of shit.

And I'm stick of the Donatello/April romance. It was funny the first couple of times but it just turned into a dumb joke that's been dragging on for too long.

I haven't watched the show since mid season 2 and I only seen like a handful of season 3 episodes so I don't know if the Donatello thing is still an issue, but that's probably my only issue with him.

>>324116082
It's a job. Plus I'd rather have them work on licensed games rather than upstart developers who don't have a semblance of game design.

>>324115957
>Platinum went from a quirky Japanese developer to a contract developer.

They were always a contract developer.

>>324116181
Donnie mostly got over it, they reference it now and again, but it isn't like it was.

Mikey never got better, he has moments (he actually stepped up a lot in that Half Shell Heroes special, but that isn't canon) but for the most part is still obnoxious as fuck. The space stuff is also...not the greatest. The Armaggon episode was rad though.

>>324116120
Did they create any of those franchises?

>>324116120

Given the context, those are licensed games anon.

>>324116240
So all their Sega published games are actually Sega IPs? I thought they made their own games, but had no one to fund or publish them, so they went to Sega for help. But since MGR (or maybe earlier), most of their work seems to be less of their own and more for others. I think Scalebound is mostly an MS and Platinum project, as opposed to strictly licensed like Nier or MGR.

>>324095552

you have to give some props to platinum to give some entertainment in how they make a game somewhat fun, i mean they haven't done many IP so far but the west know why they are appreciated the game they done, sure, is repetitive once you know their formula but i look at it like how I play with my toys back in my childhood, is a bit atusistic but the sensation is still preserved

Yes? What made you think otherwise?

They had a 4 game contract with SEGA. Those are all SEGA properties. They had to go to SEGA in order to get the permission to even work on a Bayonetta 2.

This is not how development works. You don't just stop because it can one thing alright. Especially when you want to do something else with your tools or improve them even further.

Is TMNT even popular in Japan? I know Transformers is.

>>324117124
They're Japanese. The Japanese aren't renowned the world over for being technical wizards, at least not anymore. If it works it works. If the Japs were the same tech wizards as they were in the NES and SNES days, they'd make all those cellshaded PS4 panty quest simulators run at 60FPS while downscaled from 1440p, and not what they are now.

Nigga, a second ago you didn't even know that they were a studio for hire since day one, and now you're spewing shit about their R&D like if you were an expert.

No studio is going to just leave their tools alone because it works. They're always going to be looking at ways to improve it, or hell make completely new ones. Technology doesn't just fucking idle.

>>324117052
All they did was make them use more props around areas. They still did the same exact shit they did in the first movie. Fuck that entire scene of them in the Junkyard is violent as fuck to a kid. They actually got mixed reviews for it and had to censor some shit overseas.

>>324117448

Nigga, what? Laird doesn't dislike the 80s show just for being shit. He dislikes it because he and Eastman worked close on the 80s show at first but the ideas they proposed for it were underdeveloped and turned to crap. Laird went on to fulfill the missed opportunities when writing the 2003 show, utilizing Shredder's criminal empire introduced in the 80s show that was forgotten about after the first fucking episode.
