Platinum Games wants to buy Darksiders

I posted it already in the THQ topic but heh, i feel like making a thread about it so...

Here goes

Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta 2 developer Platinum Games wants to buy the Darksiders IP, which unfortunately didnt make a sale at yesterdays THQ IP and studio auction.

Darksiders seriously didnt sell at THQs studio and bulk IP sale? I want to buy it if it was cheap, said Platinum Games producer Atsushi Inaba in a tweet.

Following todays announcements, Darksiders franchise lead designer Haydn Dalton tweeted: There was a shimmer on a slither of hope, that at one point, thered be a Darksiders III: 4 Player Co-Op; It rode off into the sunset today.

What do you say, THQ? Can ya slip an IP Platinumsway at a discount price?

Make it happen!

Mother Fvcker........

Only if they keep the same Zelda-ish formula and improve the combat a bit that would be cool.

But if they turn it into a stupid linear hack n' slash like GoW or DMC im gonna be p!ssed.

And i'll also be p!ssed if they make it a 4 player co-op hack and slash like GoW.

Reading some of the comments boggles my mind. Why do you want independent developers to get bought out by faceless corporations? Leave Insomniac & Platinumgames out of it. They can handle themselves and just go to a publisher for a deal. They simply need to go to better publishers, or think beyond just Japan.

[QUOTE="campzor"][QUOTE="Jebus213"] Oh what because I don't want a "decent" western franchise to turn into a sub-par JRPG with static looking animation and piss poor English voice acting?Jebus213

That doesn't mean they'd turn it into an anime JRPG. Look at metal gear, they didn't turn rising into an "anime stealth game" or whatever you'd want to think.

I think he's joking, no news.

They have not yet exhibited the right skillset for Darksiders anyway. If I had to throw Darksiders at someone it would be Rocksteady.

But the most qualified would be Nintendo. Zelda and Darksiders are more alike than any hack and slash. But at the same time Nintendo would just make the game kiddy and Wii-u exclusive.

Wow i can only imagine how that would look.

Platinum's gameplay is light years ahead of Rocksteady's.

and as for Platinum not having the skill set for a Zelda game...um its Kamiya and Clover people. They did Okami. jg4xchamp

...

Duh.

Forget I said anything, I'm going to go in the corner and be stupid.

I would be so happy.

But Nintendo buying Platinum makes so much sense :Pcharizard1605

As much as I love Darksiders, its combat has always felt stiff. Having Platinum Games at the helm would fix this.

Oh my God, do this. For good measure, have Nintendo buy out Platinum Games.charizard1605

im so waiting for this to happen

Source is Kotaku quoting Twitter.

Despite how f*cking amazing it would be (I'd even give Bayonetta another chance if it happened,) that's far from a confirmation.

it just goes hand and hand a little to me. they can also make nintendo more rounded as an a company thats about "every gamer".

it also seems as though kamiya and nintendo are building a strong relationship.

I would see alot of people mad cause of this if it happend. Alot of people enjoy thier games. Would suck to have it stick to one console.

Platinum does best darting from project to project on a whim. Tying them to Nintendo would only narrow their horizons.
