Platinum Games, the studio founded by former Capcom developer Clover, has apparently struck a deal with SEGA to publish three games. Those games are:

• Bayonetta, directed by DMC creator Hideki Kamiya, and is described by the site’s correspondent as a “stylish action game” with “a witch battling angels”. Apparently she has guns on her feet.
• A science-fiction RPG for the DS called Infinite Line, where you play as a starship captain, customising your ship and crew.
• A Wii game called MadWorld. ...it’s, “Black and white Sin City graphics, with red blood. Ultra ultra violent. Fatality moves like shoving a post through someone’s head. Chainsaw on your right arm.”

Wow! Three games — make that, three Platinum Games games. The page we are sourcing has been taken down, and the developer hasn't yet issued an official statement on the company's site of its English language Facebook page announcing these titles. So we'll mark this as a rumor for now. A really, really cool sounding one. Stay tuned!

real or not?

The DS sci-fi RPG sounds like it could be fucking awesome.

3 Games by these guys is awesome. Not really interested in another DMC Clone though.

Those games sound pretty... indy to me.

Platinum Games is really founded by experienced staff of Clover (i.e. not a company filled with newbies, like Image Epoch)?

did a little more research... I guess PG is the real [Clover] deal. Color me excited if these rumors turn out to be true.

Sin City style game on the Wii. Perfect audience

Errm

I am most excited about Infinite Line. Actually, a generational starship simulator would be awesome.

Crushed · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2008, 03:21:44 PM »

Wait, RPG where you customize your ship and crew for the DS?

Chainsaw game for Wii?

Actual article from the website that fucked up and back down

Quote

SEGA has signed a multi-game publishing deal with Platinum Games, the studio set up by ex-Capcom developers Shinji Mikami, Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba.

Update, 1pm: The first game is called Bayonetta, directed by DMC creator Hideki Kamiya, and is described by our correspondent as a "stylish action game" with "a witch battling angels". Apparently she has guns on her feet.
Update, 1.03pm: The second game is a science-fiction RPG for the DS called Infinite Line, where you play as a starship captain, customising your ship and crew. It will be finished in the near future, according to our man on the scene.
Update, 1.12pm: The third is a Wii game called MadWorld. "Black and white Sin City graphics, with red blood. Ultra ultra violent. Fatality moves like shoving a post through someone's head. Chainsaw on your right arm."
Update, 1.14pm: MadWorld is being directed by Shigeru Nishikawa, who previously worked on Resident Evil 4.

Those games are not rumors, they are the real deal. They will probably be announced in the next Famitsu or something.

The one with the chainsaw sounds like a good fit for the Wii. Assuming it's not made by that talentless hack Suda or whatever the hell is worthless name is. What a hack.

For the record, Infinite Line is developed by Nudemaker, and Mad World is by Shigenori Nishikawa (a planner on RE4).

Everything is embargoed until Friday (or tomorrow, if it's in Famitsu).

Other than Clocktower and Steel Battalion, I don't recognize anything that Nudemaker has made.

Do they make cellphone games??

Mad World is gonna be sick if that's actual gameplay. I can't see shit in the Bayonetta trailer except for gunshoes.

Another mini-game collection for the Wii, eh?

hyp · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2008, 02:28:02 PM »

glad they're going for the "stylistic" approach rather than realism for the wii game. all developers should do this.

mad world looks great

Its kind of funny that the most exciting one of the former clover guys is a Wii game. Wow.

Did you notice each kill had the same scream? Annoying total. Hope that changes.
