Platinum 4 - PlatinumGames teaser site (First Reveal: Wonderful 101 Kickstarter, 3 more announcements to come) - See Staff Post

This is Nier 4.
This is Drakengard 4.
THE WONDERFUL 4.
Honestly the dream would be Platinum has 4 games coming that they completely own. Shame I doubt Sega will give up Bayonetta and Vanquish rights.

4 million troops
First thought was that font and color scheme looked very NieR-ish, but can't see how that relates to 4, so probably something like four games they're publishing instead
I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a new Nier project tbh. The 4 teaser is extremely close to the Nier Automata teasers.
I hope so, but is that marketing something Platinum would even be handling?
They wouldn't be. Square Enix would announce that. People just want to believe it's Nier. At this point the next Nier is probably next-gen so I don't see them announcing it now anyway.
Ok, they are announcing 4 projects, I guess.
Can't see the announcing games based on someone's else IPs, so no Nier or such.

Nah, just being realistic. People are already setting themselves up for disappointment, expecting 4 sequels/new games...how's Platinum supposed to pull that off, when they're already busy with (at least) Bayonetta 3 and Babylon's Fall?
I really doubt they would be the one to tease a new nier or drakengard, square-enix would do it
I'd love an Infinite Space remake. How many people even know that game exists?
Since I'm seeing people bring up a couple titles, think it needs to be stressed as some posters mentioned here: While not impossible, it's highly more likely these'll be IPs where Platinum Games has some level of ownership (even if a publishing arm controls/owns it to a degree). Nier and Drakengard are both directly owned by Square Enix and Platinum Games only was involved with a couple of these. So I just don't see that happening.
I've only played Automata and bought the PS3 game, what is this?
Gestalt and Replicant were the same game (Nier 1) with differently aged protagonists for the Western/eastern audiences. In the west Nier was a father and in the East he was a brother instead.
A sci-fi horror with magic and mutants game by Platinum? Go for it.
3rd birthday never existed.
So they'll cancel one and finish only three?
I'm still okay with this.
Not exactily, Replicant and Gestalt were the names of the PS3 and 360 ports which both came out in Japan — Gestalt on the PS3 starring a middle aged man on a quest to save his daughter and Replicant on the 360 starring a teenage boy on a quest to save his sister. Gestalt was the only one brought over to the West though since it was deemed the better fit and likely wasn't viewed as a huge priority by Squeenix.
I think it's because I never played 3rd Birthday, but I'd love for them to take another stab at it and make it playable for the modern gaming world, but that's just me.
I think they wanted to self-publish more smaller games now that they got funding from Tencent? "Platinum 4" makes it look like 4 different games, not the fourth sequel for a series.

I forgot that Nier is a spin-off of Drakengard. That is still one of the wildest endings I've ever seen.
I fully expect this to be an announcement of 4 games. W101 included, no idea what the rest could be though. Okami 2?
A sequel to Nier Automata seems inevitable. It was a massive success and a sequel for next gen consoles would get a lot of people excited.
It'll get a sequel, definitely. However, it seems that Automata was such a big success that SE are moving development in-house, away from PG. They recently started hiring people at SE for new Yoko Taro projects.
That would be a shame, hopefully they're just working as support while Platinum is still involved in the development (sort of like what Nintendo EPD did for W101 and Bayo 2)
Forgot about Babylon's Fall lol
Wasn't impressed by the first trailer, hopefully it was just alpha footage or something
