Tbh, even though Automata was way more tame than NieR i'm happy that Taro gets more attention and budget. He is better than Kojima now for sure.

Well the string of mediocre shovelware titles + Scalebound's cancellation probably hurt Platinum a fair amount. Hopefully Bayo3 is good and Kamiya is working on a new title though.

It's a shame that Konami ended up the way it did, MGR could have turned into its own extended franchise.

>>387062856
Automata isn't a good game though.

Stop the fucking presses.

How would you get your hands on NIER: Gestalt? Ebay?

Automata was better than most of Platinum's recent games, but it was still mediocre at best. Nothing's been "saved" they still can't make good games anymore.

I think the problem is Platinum's games just don't have wide appeal. You hear about people loving them online, but actual audience? They probably just know about Bayonetta and Revengeance, former for ATTRACTIVE FEMALE CHARACTER and former for all the memes hype.

Hopefully this doesn't mean all future P* titles play like Automata, it's pretty brainless as is, even MGR had more depth.

It's good to see they both found success though, especially coming off Scalebound's cancellation. Truly a blessing in the skies.

>>387062691
I hope they don't go the way most sequels do.

So many games shove social justice out the ass in sequels. Now that Marvel have deals with Square this is a possibility.

not a shitpost but as a game, NieR isn't very good. As an experience it great. Automata has at least decent action gameplay

I feel like Kamiya and Taro would clash since both just do whatever the fuck they want.

I think Kamiya is just happy to have something help ease them and bounce them back after Scale Bound fail through

Taro is nowhere near Kojima because he never got a competent team. Square kept him only because he it Dragon Quest publisher's bro. If you give him the same team as Kojima he will make a much better and more thought provoking game.
Kojima makes fun titles but they get more and more pretentious with each instance.

This is literally the worst non-licensed game Plantium has ever made though.

I literally don't understand, it's gameplay is so fucking shallow, especially compared to greats like W101, the Bayo series, MGR or Vanquish.

>Well the string of mediocre shovelware titles + Scalebound's cancellation probably hurt Platinum a fair amount
The shovelware is generally a breakeven operation as long as they get their money up front. Microsoft's cancellation of Scalebound had to hurt considering the amount of bad blood generated between the two companies. OTOH, Microsoft has been hurting a lot of devs with the gross mismanagement of its investments; their only saving grace is that they aren't overtly malicious like Nintendo.

>>387062691
To be fair this has more to do with Nier's cult following and word of mouth than the quality of the game itself, but Automata being a good game did help a lot.
Drakengard 3 didn't get this popular despite also having a cult following because the game under it was pretty bad.

Platinum hasn't made a good game since before they were platinum. You'd think the people who made God Hand would understand how to make a good action game but everything they've made on their own has been weak. I don't know who insists on free insta dodge at any point in any animation with i-frames the whole time being in every single game but it completely fucking ruins all of them. It completely removes any element of positioning to avoid enemy attacks and committing to your own attacks from combat, completely invalidating and making pointless every move except your highest DPS combos and also meaning the only avenue by which to introduce challenge is timing your dodges.
And now that you only have to time dodges, the only way to make the game harder is to either make wind ups so short or subtle that you have trouble getting them in time, or making them obvious and just flooding every combat with oodles of enemies. The former is really annoying, so in every game they just do the latter, and combat ends up being a brainless repetitive slog against faceless hordes of interchangeable enemies, whose movement patterns and attack types your brain doesn't even bother noticing because the only element of their fighting that is relevant is at what time you should hit the dodge button.

is the PC version still fucked?

The problem with Platinum is that they're trying flipf-flopping between genres too much.
They should stick with what sells and elaborate upon it in.

Also they should attempt to make their games not be 5 hours long.
That way potential buyers don't wait until their titles end up in the bargain bin to purchase them.

1. Nobody researches a Platinum game to see if it plays like garbage, 2. even if they did look at videos, everything would have came off as another slick crazy game, and 3. the series having a history of bad gameplay shouldn't matter when there's a new developer; one who makes good games.
Stay retarded.

Shocker. Maybe try making an original half-decent game without boring combat and shitty level design.
MGR and Automata would've been better if they were directed by Itsuno. Capcom is stupid, but axing Clover isn't why

>>387066270
Originality means jack shit if it isn't presented and marketed correctly, do I have to mention the entire Souls serie as an example ?

Anarchy Reigns is a budget multiplayer game, which is bad from the very start. Then Sega decided to leave it to die on store shelves with no marketing whatsoever. Sega was mismanaging the shit out of everything at this point and Aliens Colonial Marines hammered the point home.

What bethesda does supposedly is hire a struggling company for an ambitious project, then about halfway through development they start failing their milestones for trivial reasons so the studio starts running out of money. With the studio desperate for money, Bethesda offers a loan to "help" them continue work on the game and get through the rough spot. Once they take the bait, Bethesda starts passing their milestones again until they're close to completion of the game, then they start failing milestones again until they start running out of cash again and then Bethesda demands that they either pay back the loan or they sell the studio for a pittance.

Supposedly that's what happened to Arkane and almost happened to Human Head. With that pracitce being so widely exposed now though I don't know if they'll continue using it. It seems like these days they just grab talented people from other studios and give them money to found new studios. They did that with Starbreeze's former staff to found Machine Games and with Shinji Mikami to found Tango Gameworks.

The performances in Nier are stellar. The cast is the usual suspects as far as English dubs go, but the only one I immediately recognized without having to look it up was Yuri Lowenthal (and he plays an incredibly minor role).

>>387064053
Automata isn't a character action game, it's an RPG with pretty simple combat much like the first Nier but polished up a little. The quality of writing is subjective but you're retarded if you think its success came from 2B's ass when she's not even the protagonist and most of the hype around the game (once it actually released) came from the story, particularly the third act where she's barely even involved.

I am more surprised at how well it sold in PC in such a short time. Half a million copies, single player Japanese action game on PC at full price.

>>387067491
>The idea that a video GAME doesn't need good GAMEPLAY to be good is asinine.
Because you're a fucking brainlet who doesn't understand anything about game design and unironically believe that the fun in video games comes from timed mechanical inputs. Gameplay is the interactive element through which the player interacts with the game world, and while it is indeed an important element, pretending that it is the only important element, and that the world you interacting with through the vehicle of gameplay is irrelevant, is absurd. Would you rather look at a dull, barren field through a pristine, clear lens, or a vibrant, stunning vista through a cracked, dirty lens?

And you argument is hilarious, since it's based purely on the fact that "video game" and "gameplay" have the word "game" in them. How low is your IQ that you can make that argument without a twinge of irony?

There was 2Butt threads up for a good while when the demo dropped as well as on release, but it never fucking came close to the other two in sheer fucking volume.

Nope, Sony specifically commissioned them and as a result owns the Ratchet and Clank and Resistance IPs. The only Insomniac PS exclusives that weren't the result of Sony paying for them are their early Spyro games.

Also I should note, there's absolutely nothing wrong with exclusives. What people should be pissed about are games that are targetted at multiple platforms and then halfway through development they get paid money to nix a platform's release, like what happened with Titanfall 1. A game funded from the very beginning of it's development by a console manufacturer to be an exclusive is not something anyone should be upset over. Wonderful 101 and Bayo 2 wouldn't have been made without Nintendo's money, that's the difference. R&C and Resistance are the same way, there's nothing wrong with that model of exclusives.

>>387062691
too bad Platinum didn't save Nier Automata

I'm glad for Taro, Saito, And the rest of the platinum boys for the game being as successful as it is, but somewhere in my heart, I kinda want it to stay as a moderate success, so that the state of Nier in /v/ is the same as it was before Automata, kinda like Ace combat threads or Monhan threads before world.

Just like P5, game hit its peak early after the carnival boss. Route C's boss rush with A2 and 9S would have been great if it didn't run out of budget recycling the same spider boss.

Shooting for wide appeal isn't always a good thing. Hell, I'd go as far to say it's hardly EVER a good thing.

AAA is the flagship titles of major studios, i.e. the game with a large budget, marketing and high sales expectation.

Though they like to pretend the AAA tag refers to an A in gameplay, an A in graphics and an A in innovation or some other shit like that the term is really investor speak and originates from the shareholder meetings publishers would hold. A AAA credit rating is the highest rating you can receive, when they told investors a game was "AAA" they were saying they are almost definitely going to make money out of it.

So it will sale 6 million copies and still be higher regarded than anything Yoko has done?

>>387070718
how about every aspect of the plot and its presentation being ripped from anime?

I wonder if this means we'll get Anarchy Reigns 2 or something.

>>387070684
You didn't hear? The Bioware division that developed Andromeda was dissolved.

>>387070639
>Andromeda doomed a part of bioware
ftfy

>>387070684
The Bioware branch that made Andromeda (I think it was Montreal) was dismantled and reabsorbed by EA after Andromeda bombed.

>>387070723
Yeah people will usually eat up heavily advertised trash

>>387070684
Andromeda literally damaged the mass effect ip. Where have you been?

>>387070009
Mine too, but let's be real here, without 2B being plastered over everything this game would not have garnered as much attention as it did.

>>387070187
Kojima's games have been getting worse and worse since MGS3
He should've stopped making games ages ago.

>>387070723
MGSV was completely overshadowed by TW3 and Bloodborne the year it was released though. N:A is on its way to become GOTY.
Not to mention budget.

>>387070838
So like every other game he's done? Surprise surpise, nip dev takes inspiration from anime, but I don't see anyone calling Drakengard or Nier weebshit.

>>387070962
Mass Effect 3 already damaged the IP. Andromeda just finished it off. Lets be real, I doubt that EA even cares about Mass Effect now that they have exclusive game rights to Star Wars.

>>387070903
We will never get a Anarchy Reigns 2.

It might actually do well if they just make it Platinum's Smash Bros

The devs doing Andromeda aren't doing another AAA game any time soon. EA cut them loose.

>>387070718
Isn't it sad how attractive female characters have now become a "weeb" thing completely gone from west? You can bet your ass half the people whining about weeb ITT are buttblasted a game with an attractive female did well.

>>387071073
>N:A is on its way to become GOTY.
Anon, I love the game and think it's phenomenal.

but you're a fucktard if you think it has a similar chance of getting GOTY like Zelda or Horizon or even Persona 5.

>>387070838
Maybe it's a Japanese culture thing more than anime? Because saying a Japanese game is based on an anime is retarded when there is an anime for fucking everything now, including highly western-style stories and settings.

>>387062691

He's being a little too optimistic. It sounds like the doors were going to close if Nier didn't sell. Nier may have sold but that doesn't absolve years of failures.

Platinum are not saved, they have merely postponed their closure on the back of one success. They actually have to continue to be successful too and their history does not exactly indicate that's going to happen.

>>387071172
Is Horizon really held in that high regard?

>>387071137
>The devs doing Andromeda aren't doing another AAA game any time soon. EA cut them loose.
I thought they were making that third person No Man's Sky game that normies were fawning over during Microshit's E3. Does Bioware have multiple studios or what?

>>387070684
Bioware Montreal has been completely dissolved. We haven't gotten numbers on Andromeda either which kind of implies it sold horribly.

>>387071293
By normies, hell yeah.

>>387063680
ah yeah, the only companies who aren't are Kojipro and Fromsoft

>>387071293
With all that marketing behind it you bet it is!

>>387071297
>Does Bioware have multiple studios or what?
Yeah. The "A" team is making Anthem
The "B" team is gone the way of the Dodo after Andromeda

>>387071297
>Does Bioware have multiple studios or what?
EA rebranded a bunch of preexisting studios under the Bioware name. What's left of the original Bioware is working on Anthem.

It's not attractive characters that are weeb and attractive characters are still in the west. It's specific Japanese fetishes that are weeb, shit like every female looking 13 years old. The Japanese are very "pornographic" about their shit.

I'll add to this. I loved Nier Automata but the Platinum incompetence was still present. Why was the game so ugly? Some PS3 games rendered in 1080p looks better. It was a huge failure having Yoshida's art wasted on Platinum's amateur graphic designers. The performance should be locked 60 fps on consoles for what it shows us. Their production values are still awful despite years of practice now. It worked for Revengeance because that game had crazy fast pacing but it doesn't work for Nier where you revisit the same area multiple times.

Platinum still has a lot to prove. In this case, bad presentation was forgiven because everything else was done well. But they won't have that luxury always. They won't always have someone like Taro around.

>>387071461
>>387071464
So Andromeda really is like Dark Souls 2 or Uncharted 3

>>387063119
i think you're baiting but i really hope platinum doesn't become intelligent systems

>>387071539
Every single female character in the game is a grown woman (well except for one technically, but it's not really fetishy)

>>387071539
What female characters in Nier look 13 except the two girls at the end quite clearly presented as creepy 13 year olds? Both 2B and A2 are 20+.

>>387071585
>Their production values are still awful despite years of practice now
>what is Bayonetta 2

>>387071585
It's pretty obvious that they ran out of money halfway through the game. With that in mind the end product that they put out is pretty impressive.

>>387071719
>no, no, she only LOOKS young, she's actually 2000 years old

You weebs are fucking delusional. Not one person swallows this shit, I don't know why you continue to use it.

Every android in automata beside 9s units is clearly adult, even 9s is barely shota and more young teenager

>>387066645
>They should stick with what sells and elaborate upon it in.

So...NieR?

Literally the first time Kamiya has ever praised anyone besides himself.

>>387067370
so you're saying that having 3rd party exclusives means you're malicious? Lmfao

>>387071917
It's a sociopathic, fully clothed AI that has the voice of a grown man, nothing about it is cute in any way.

>>387072135

Nier did the same number of sales as Bayonetta and MGR. If that wasn't enough to keep the studio strong then why would it be today?

Nier stopped the company from going out of business, that's it. It hasn't single-handedly built it into a powerhouse. Look at the tweet, he's talking about hypothetical new fans and hopeful new employees. It's all head in the clouds hopes and dreams about the future, not really anything meaningful.

I wonder if this has something to do with scalebound being canceled. I know MS was mostly paying for it but It's still a fuckload of man hours lost over some bullshit

>>387071917
Are you going mental, neofagger? 2B is not 13. She has the body of a fully grown woman.

>>387070052
>Platinum didn't deliver so it got cancelled
Source?

its not. shitposting repeated threads in /v/ doesnt mean its popular. its only popular because you think it is. try to get out of this website sometimes

>>387072924
>She has the body of a fully grown woman.

It's always the body, isn't it? Certainly can't point to the overtly child-like face, the thing that you lead you creeps to refer to characters as "CUTE!"

Children are cute, adults are not, you pedo freaks.

>>387072942
I have no official source but
You think Platinum Games can afford to make a game as expensive as Scalebound? The IP is owned by Microsoft and they are the one who funded it in the 1st place. The game was supposed to come out in 2016 and then got delayed to 2017 and it got cancelled early 2017.
+ add to that the fact that all the trailers they have shown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR4c3wsFsMM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skIeuo_R-8Y
we poorly received and the fact that japanese game didn't sell great on the bone. The gameplay just wasn’t smooth, the framerate was shit and the mc is annoying. Platinum game just didn't delivered the game on time here.

>>387070052
Blaming platinum when microsoft cancelled 2 other games before it. Even platinum manages to deliver games in short dev cycles like MGR, it couldn't point to anything other than microsofts fault.

>>387062691

Alright that tears it. Picking up this game the next time i get paid.

Why try harder? The GRFX of Gen 8 games have been more like gen 7.25 outside of a handful of tech demos. With the bar set so low, why would they risk pulling aggro on the framerate police?

its AA gaming rising again
