oh no it's later this month, just meant it was happening. Sorry, misunderstood your point.
You can check two pages back instead of bringing back the same discussion that this thread has already adressed several times.
Or, you can wait for your Breath of the Wild port on PS4 too... I'm saving space on my Switch for that Bloodborne port that's coming.
I think that's a bit much, but I won't be surprised if Bayonetta 2 Remastered is a thing. Sega has shown a willingness to milk the franchise and Nintendo has signaled their willingness to allow for ports of their games developed by PG (at least those not based on classic Nintendo franchises, since I think PG developed a Star Fox game at some point).
lmfao no need for that... have played the shit out of both of those titles already. My sentiment for wanting Bayo 3 multiple is for platinum to have more to work with in terms of scale rather than just focusing on switch, either way its whatever tho
Somehow port begging is not only allowed on Era now, but it's trendy.
I would go for the most improbable one EVER. Let's bring Smash Ultimate with all those crazy number of licenses... to Google Stadia (because why not). If we deeply believe on it maybe it happens, right?
Also, Mario Kart appeared one time in Google Maps, right? It happened before.
It may release in PC but I don't see Sony doing it on other consoles.
Yeah, there's plenty of rumors of Sony wanting to release some of their games on PC.
Do you believe, for one second, that Nintendo is going to pay THE FULL DEVELOPMENT of Bayonetta 3 to appear on PS4 and Xbox?
The Platinum funding doesn't matter at all here. The game has been fully paid by Nintendo. You can't take a game produced by a company and launch it on its competitor systems without the authorization of that company, nor do a port by youself without their authorization. Business wise doesn't make any sense. It's easy to understand why.
Again: Bayonetta situation by Kamiya himself
They showed willingness for one game they obviously weren't doing anything with.
Obviously one instance makes a pattern and they're gonna port everything now.
Sega sure was willing to milk the franchise which is why Nintendo had to foot the bill for two sequels.
PS/Xbox people asking for Bayonetta 2, Switch people asking for Persona 5, PC people wanting Bloodborne...port begging is just a fact of life lol. That said, the entire premise of the thread is that a Nintendo first party game is now being funded for other platforms via KS. Not a whole lot of precedent for that, so it's not unreasonable for people to speculate if something similar could happen to a game that was under similar(ish) circumstances like Bayo 2.
If it's one of the four Platinum 4 thingies, it should be something other than 101.
Can't wait for the rights for Mario to be bought back from Nintendo by Nintendo.
It's only not unreasonable if you're willingly ignore an official communication from the dev via Twitter, an interview with said devs about the current situation about W101, the situations around the games in talk regarding success, currently available ports and actual ownership.
So ... to me it looks very unreasonable.
I can't complain about port begging because I've been complaining about the lack of a Vanquish Switch port since December lol
I'm sure people would have thought it unreasonable a month ago for W101 to be coming to PC/PS4 considering it was built from the ground up as a new IP for Nintendo but here we are lol. I'm not saying Bayo 2 coming to other platforms is likely, in fact it's highly unlikely, but I can't fault people for speculating when all of this is new ground.
I mean, Capcom let NISA port and publish Killer 7 on PC so it could happen. I don't think it's very likely at all though.
You mean besides Nintendo clearly actually giving a shit about the Bayonetta IP, having an official port without Kickstarter, having the main character in Smash, and funding another sequel.
But yeah other then that the situation is identical.
Yeah, here we are. In a situation that even P* themselves consider, i quote, "an exclusive siutation". Actually, Nintendo selling off a half-owned IP isn't a too unreasonable thought, neither is Nintendo allowing/being fine with a PC port for stuff they've had a hand in. So honestly, the only surprise here is Nintendo keeping the IP and allowing the PS4 port.
Still, this doesn't change the fact that you need a really remarkable amount of mental gymsnatics or ignorance to the situation and available information, to think for yourself "Yeah, this is possible now!".
Well, it feels like anything can happen now with MS releasing their games on Switch. Sony releasing games on all platforms and Nintendo allowing Platinum to kick start wonderful 101.
Won't even be surprised to find out that the next character reveal for Smash to be kratos from God Of war wearing Master Chief's amour with 30 songs selections from other IPS owned by Sony and Microsoft now.
Sounds very reasonable as well, should PG pursue it.
Per PG, they were already in talks to do this 101 port even before the Tencent funding. With the money from this investment, they could be seeking to further control their IP, maybe even acquiring it back from the publishers (in the case of IP they oversaw the creation of, of course, so this wouldn't affect stuff like MGR or Nier).
I kinda just hope that Platinum steps in to specify that the 4 projects in question are self-published efforts, and thus not gonna be concerned with ports of their most successful games.
Given the recent blurring of lines when it comes to exclusives, this is a discussion that I feel deserves its place. But not here, since in the end we'll probably end up with some brand new IPs and half the people will be disappointed because it's not more Bayonetta or Nier news.
I can't wait to play God of War on my Switch. And if you use reasonable points to shoot down my dreams, you're a fanboy.
I would wager that a new game announcement could gather even more attention than a remaster, honestly. Of course, it depends on what the new game looks like, what genre it belongs to, how it is revealed and so on. Their last original game kinda came and went, though, in regards to the buzz it garnered.
God of War is developed by a studio that Sony owns though, so your analogy is useless.
It's more similar to Cuphead or Ori. Yes Microsoft helped fund them (despite not owning the developers) and thus they were exclusive for a while, but eventually they got opened up to new systems
Ori works. Cuphead doesn't. MS helped with funding, but Studio MDHR published it themselves on every platform.
And Ori on Switch is part of a longterm strategy by Xbox to expand platform reach. Nintendo has made no indication of such a strategy, outside of exclusive mobile software.
In conclusion, I can't wait to play Bloodborne on my Switch
Bayonetta 2 was co-developped with the Nintendo EPD Production Group No. 1 equivalent from EAD

And Nintendo is supporting the multi-platform release of TW101. So, unless both SEGA and Nintendo support a multi-platform release of B2/B3... It won't happen ! :D
Technically they are right, whereas Bayonetta 2 is © Nintendo, Bayo3 is © SEGA on Platinum website
BAYONETTA 3 | PlatinumGames Inc. Official WebSite
The official website of PlatinumGames Inc., developer of NieR:Automata, the Bayonetta series, ASTRAL CHAIN and more! We develop games of a wide range of genres, from the Japanese fantastical combat of World of Demons to the free-form of shooting SOL CRESTA.www.platinumgames.com
But considering how early in development Bayo 3 is (or at least was when they put online the website), I wouldn't read too much into it.
I mean, I certainly hope that no one will be trying to use that website as some kind of "source" in the future when the vice-president of the studio behind that website said that it was decided from the very beginning that Nintendo would fully fund B3 (which wasn't the case for B2).
I think you're reading a little too much into that website. Like I said earlier, B2 wasn't fully funded by Nintendo while B3 is so... Most likely an error.
And from what we know, it's both funded and published by Nintendo.
I'd like that !

Persona is a Atlus IP. The job of Atlus is to sell their games, not to sell PlayStations.
Nintendo is investing money in Bayonetta. Nintendos job is to sell Nintendo hardware.
You can get Bloodborne trough PS Now. Never got that rumor.
This shit is rather easy to comprehend, but since this is the Trump era, I shouldn't be surprised.
I expect the other 3 announcements will be new and probably smaller scale stuff.
It's less the actual likelyhood, of it happening, and more that the eagernesse to defend exclusives comes off as being fueled by being too invested in a specific platform. It's the same vibes i got in those Horizon Zero Dawn coming to PC threads or similar threads in the past where people see exclusives going multplat as some sort of L for their team and not as an objectively good thing for everyone.
Not waging into the port discussion lol
I would think all four projects would have to be really noteworthy to reveal this way. TW101 remaster is very noteworth, but the only other port/remaster I could think of that would generate as much buzz and is actually even somewhat feasible would be Viewtiful Joe, since I could see Capcom letting platinum work on it since they aren't doing anything with it.
Other than that, I expect the rest to be new projects.

I wonder if PlatinumGames was able to acquire the God Hand IP from Capcom? Cause if so, I can see them wanting to Kickstart a remaster for it to see if there's still enough demand to turn a profit?
So I haven't really read through the thread but do we have any clue when they are revealing the next thing or is it just going to be an out of the blue kind of thing?
