Nier: Automata was one of the many success stories from the first half of 2017. PlatinumGames and Square Enix’s Yoko Taro teamed up and created one for the ages, a beautifully told story about a war between androids and robots that just might make you cry. Apart from reigning as one of the year’s best titles, the game also reportedly saved PlatinumGames as a studio, which had hit some...
The internet roared in applause this week when popular action game developer Platinum Games teased that it might possibly be releasing the Bayonetta games on the Nintendo Switch. Now, the company is back with another post that is bound to get its fanbase talking. On Twitter, the company posted an image of the characters from its Wii U exclusive The Wonderful 101 playing the game they...
Scalebound was one of the highest profile cancellations of the past year. Platinum Games’ dragon-based action game captured the imaginations of gamers around the world when it was first announced at E3 2014, before the launch of the Xbox One. However, as time went on, footage and news stories started to slow down, and on the occasions that the game was finally shown, I was left...
Vanquish is currently tearing apart Steam with its blisteringly fast performance, so much so that bullets are draining the protagonist’s life faster than at normal frame rates. How’s that for a bug that looks to break the meta? Vanquish is also the game you should be playing right now. Don’t just take my word for how excellent this game really is. Take the word of everyone else who is...
Platinum Games is officially making a title for the Nintendo Switch. Despite a few tepid efforts here and there (like the The Legend of Korra game from the Avatar universe and Transformers Devastation), I still think Platinum Games is a hot developer worthy of the world’s attention for their ability to make great action titles. Heck, look at the recent NieR: Automata by Platinum and...
If you're playing Vanquish on a powerful computer and enjoying the increased frame rate modern PCs are capable of, you're also playing a much harder game than you need to be thanks to a bug linking your framerate to the amount of damage you take. A fix, however, is imminent. Once a NeoGAF poster pointed out the bug, Platinum was quick to issue a beta patch on Steam that...
I played a lot of third-person and first-person shooters in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 days. Part of me needed a break from the onslaught of JRPGs I put myself through for a decade and a half, and the likes of Gears of War, Halo, Borderlands, Rainbow Six, and even the occasional Call of Duty match helped me become accustomed to the rapidly-changing era of gaming that had swept me...
Bayonetta’s PC port is showing the kind of solid numbers that any publisher would be thrilled to see on an eight-year-old game. SEGA Europe’s VP of Commercial Publishing John Clark has confirmed that the action game has already sold 170,000 copies since its surprise PC debut back on April 11. According to Clark, in a statement to PC Invasion, SEGA is very pleased with the success of ...
SEGA teased and prodded us long enough! Actually, it only did so for about a week or so, but still, that's long enough! Vanquish will be joining Bayonetta as the next Platinum Games hit to be ported to the PC platform. SEGA confirmed a release date of May 25 in an expectedly explosive trailer. Those who recently bought Bayonetta for the PC also get a nice discount off the top if...
Two days in a row, SEGA has teased something in regards to its fan-favorite shooter, Vanquish. The title turned up yesterday with a hint that something, assumedly a PC port, would be released in 2017. Today, we're narrowing that release window down to this month thanks to the latest Twitter post. pic.twitter.com/3GemTxMYag— SEGA (@SEGA) May 9, 2017 That's assuming that the "05" in...
