kamiya is saying that yoko taro saved platinum games

>>387183551
It probably did. Platinum needed all the help they could get after they got screwed by MS with the whole Scalebound fiasco.

he did, platinum hasn't made anything worth mentioning on their own since revengeance and even then the "on their own" part is debatable

>>387183551
Because he probably did

Platinum is a awful meme company and Kamiya is a hack.

what other companies can yoko taro save?

just checked and I'm still blocked all these years later. does he still tweet cool shit?

>>387183729
I did the same, but I did it first and foremost because I was a longtime Drakengard/NieR/Yoko Taro fan but I'm glad it helped Platinum as well.

Most likely.
No platinum game sold as good as Bayo or Near a Tomato, they need 1 million+ hits to sustain themselves.

Honestly, Square needs to put Taro in charge of everything. He seems like a pretty flexible guy and isn't a manchild like Nomura.

>no one posted the actual tweet yet

"Nier's success has to this point given Platinum a new fanbase, a growing staff, a brilliant success story, an increase in qualified job applicants, and a great benefit. Normally, I can't help but do everything by myself... it's a pitiful story, but to say that Yoko-san saved Platinum would not be an exaggeration. I cannot thank him enough."

WHERE THE FUCK IS SCALEBOUNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>>387184639
every unsuccessful AAA release is a one step closer to shutting down. Eidos pretty much would have closed if Mankind Divided didn't save them, after Thief flopped earlier.

>>387184784
>if Mankind Divided didn't save them

Did that shit game save them? I thought it had very poor sales all around

>>387184639
>>387184784
even obsidian was close to shutting the doors before Pillars of Eternity
the only reason they did the kickstarter was because they had nothing to lose at that point
if you can't convince a publisher to back you for a new game, then you're screwed, no matter how popular your previous games were. Or worse, stopping a game midway through development and potentially not paying your team for a few months' work

>>387184496
Nice.

>>387184639
Honestly me neither but when you actually think about it it makes sense. They needed the breakthrough after Bayo2 and W101 flopped purely by Nintendos fault and getting another major title cancelled. Those 2 are probably the greatest games people will never know because of them being on a failed platform.

I'm glad it was Automata that bailed them out, it being a fairly constricted game to boot.

>>387183551
That's pretty fucking pathetic if true.

>>387185090
>They needed the breakthrough after Bayo2 and W101 flopped purely by Nintendos fault
How did Nintendo cause them to flop?

>>387184784
Square owns them, and as per Square regulations; if it doesn't sell like Final Fantasy it gets canned for good.

Mankind Divided tanked and now Eidos is likely going to become a mobile-only dev like poor Taito. I don't think I'll ever forgive those sleezy gooks for taking away Puzzle Bobble and Darius.

>>387185036
it wasn't the same budget as Human Revolution since they already had the engine/assets, so it's still considered a somewhat successful release for them.

>>387185090
You can't put all the blame on Nintendo for Bayo2. I mean, they did ask everyone but they all said no, Nintendo were the only ones that took them in.

>>387185287
Fair point

>>387185295
Its their fault for handling WiiU like complete retards and expecting Platinum/Monolith to carry it.

Now they've learned, in an ass-backwards way but they learned. They don't need a better system with complete features. They just need shit with even 1 big name. Case in point, Switch and Zelda.

>>387185062
but wasnt obsidian fuck because betesda tried to shut them down?

>>387186269
nah. That NV bonus would have helped but they said there wasn't really one thing that almost killed them

because taro pandered to normies with ass and tits.

Kamiya fucked up because he made bayonetta a walking fetish abomination, instead of finding a way to get the normals to buy his shit

>>387188337
I don't think normal people play games like Neir Automata.

>>387188691
it was the highest selling game on steam for a while, so you would be wrong

>>387187953
Bait, if not explain to me how it's a weeb game

>>387188337
>implying this is the first taro game with ass and tits

>>387188337

>pandering to normies with ass and tits
Nier and Drakengard 3 exist. Normies did not gravitate towards those games you ignorant faggot. Also, if he tried to appeal to normies he would cover them up to appeal kotaku and polygon regulars.

Normies don't play Yoko Taro games. This one got attention because of the Platinum name.

>>387188787
Normalfags don't have gaming pcs

>>387188997
Normies don't play action games either, this game got attention because of 2B's ass.

>>387189085
>normies don't play action games

You mean like GTA or Horizon Dawn or Uncharted? Yeah those were real flops. No, this game initially got attention because of the Platinum name.

>>387189085
Kaine's outfit is far more outrageous than 2B's and the first game makes a point to position the camera on her ass and tits. The fanservice in Automata is optional

>>387189085
People have been talking about this game way before it came out.
I haven't seen a single person come out with a long youtube video about why it's a bad game so I'm pretty sure the game itself was solid and well recieved.

In my opinion it's one of the best games released in over 10 years.

>>387190959
A game being made in Japan doesn't make it automatically a weeb game. There's a clear difference between something like MGS/Dark Souls and Nep games

>>387183729
i still pirated it, if from cannot manage their own company properly i dont give a fuck about "saving video games"

>>387185090
Bayo 2 flopped because it was significantly worse than the first one, most high level players dropped it after a week.

>>387191481
um no it flopped because

>bayo never had a huge fanbase to begin with, it seemed like a one time experience
>it was an exclusive to wii u, who most give fuck all about bayonetta

>>387185276
Probably by making them exclusive to a failing platform. W101 was its own thing buy Bayo2 ended up exclusive on Wii U of all places when the original was a PS/Xbox title, so most Bayo fans probably couldn't even get it at the time and most Nintendo fans probably didn't care about it too much since it wasn't a series they had before.

>>387191836

FUCK
After all these years...

>>387192243
>>387192243
It had a better attach rate than the first one did on 360 or PS3, the first one sold ~2 million with an install base of 167 million and Bayonetta 2 sold ~1 million with an install base of 13 million.

A sequel was going to flop regardless, no one cares about these kinds of games. It's not without reason no one wanted to fund it.

How the fuck is one million copies sold a flop?

https://mynintendonews.com/2016/05/03/vgchartz-bayonetta-2-sells-one-million-units/

And i don't even know if The W101 was flop, specially because Nintendo tends to not overblown their budgets.
