[QUOTE="RuprechtMonkey"] Platinum Games have yet to produce a bad game because they have yet to release a game. Platinum Games is not Clover Studios. It was founded by members of Clover Studios, just because it has many of the same members of Clover doesn't mean it is. That's like saying, years and years ago, that Wideload Games is basically just as good as Bungie and Stubbs the Zombie is guaranteed to be awesome because Halo was.Fawlcon_Pawnch
And those members consist of leading people of the Resident Evil games, Okami, Viewtifull Joe, Devil May Cry, God Hand etc...
But they aren't the same studios, and not all of the developers are the same. Nothing lasts forever...
[QUOTE="RuprechtMonkey"]Bayonetta doesn't look good to me either, looks cheesy. Fawlcon_Pawnch
I like it :P
Mad World, while it is visually unique in its SinCity-esque approach to its visual presentation, looks like a game that relies on cheap ultraviolent parlor tricks (and don't get me wrong, I have nothing wrong with over-the-top violence in games.... but its worthless if the core gameplay doesn't support it. Like the difference between Gears and Manhunt) and very little substance. The game's premise seems to limit what it can possibly do. It's almost a Smash TV- like concept.... it centers around a big beefy dude with a weapon arm competing in a do-your-best-to-survive Game Show. Looks like something that would be fun to play for 20 minutes, but would wear thin once the gimmick of the ultra-violent enemy dismemberment wears off due to endless repetition.RuprechtMonkey
They said there is a story behind Mad World and that you will have various locations to explore and bosses to fight in order to progress in the story. Its not like we dont have a precedent from which to base what to expect from this game, it seems to be a mix of God Hand + No More Heroes. Have a little more faith in them.
It's not really an issue of having "faith" in them, I just tend to base how I feel about unreleased games based on all the information available. Being made by a studio with members who have made great games in the past isn't enough - there have been tons of cases like this and the games released haven't been up to par. I don't know... I just watch the Mad World stuff and it just seems so.... repetitive and soulless. I'm not saying it'll be bad, I just think it'll be forgettably average.
[QUOTE="RuprechtMonkey"]And Bayonetta.... just looks like a typical generic action game with typical generic character design.Fawlcon_Pawnch
Generic? heh, the game's protagonist is everything but generic, you might not like the kinky style but it aint generic. The game itself feels alot like Devil May Cry but then again, the director of Devil May Cry is behind it so...
But it's not like every Devil May Cry has been a stunning success, and even the last one wasn't exactly superb.
I don't know, with the whole scantily clad good looking anime girl running and gunning, just seems so generic.
[[QUOTE="RuprechtMonkey"]If I had to predict scores for those games I'd guess Mad World 7.5, Bayonetta 7.0. If I had to guess a score for Mushroom Men I'd guess 8.5 or 9.0.Mushroom Men is the real game to look forward to on the Wii through my eyes..
Fawlcon_Pawnch
I think they will all score in the 8.0s or more, and yeah, i cant wait to see how Mushroom Men turns out too.
Well, I hope we're both right in them both being good.... but if I had to guess I'd guess Mushroom Men will be better than you think, and Mad World and Bayonetta will be worse.
Only time will tell.
