Vanquish is the last game from Platinum, where will they get the hype from after that?

And why won't they bring the samurai Yakuza game? It actually looks great.

They also need to reboot Phantasy Star and Shining games, they used to be great franchises in the past, but mediocre sequel after mediocre sequel killed them off.

Way I see it they need better management…Badly.

Akagi5760d ago

I agree that they need to sort their managerial department. I also think they need to create new IPs instead of clinging to their badly beaten dead horses.

Wait wait wait. VANQUISH IS PLATINUM GAMES LAST GAME???

What they hell. They've been putting quality game for a minute!

bAyonetta and em!!

Krimmson5760d ago

Unfortunately, quality doesn't always mean profit and Bayonetta didn't do that good, sales wise.

It wasn't a complete flop but neither version broke a million.

@Natsu X FairyTail

It's only their last commitment to Sega, Platinum are independent, the deal was 4 games only. They may self publish after that, renew the deal or find a new publisher.

sikbeta5760d ago

The answer is in that picture...Yakuza!

camehlheon5760d ago

Want me to worship Sega ? Bring back the succesful series like Streets of Rage, (and please don't make it like that recent Golden Axe, oh man what a waste !) and such games.

BubblesDAVERAGE5760d ago

I would love to see a sequel ot a old beat em up...but keep it beat em up...u recall fighting force 2...wtf were they thinking...the first one was fun though

sega has been pretty good on the wii, at least with publishing
HOTD:OK
Conduit
MadWorld
Conduit 1 & 2
Sonic Colors
Ghost Squad

Mahr5759d ago

All those games are counter-balanced by the half a dozen average-to-poor Sonic games and Tournament of Legends, though.

If Sega were at all interested in being a good publisher on the system, Wii would be getting a sequel to Overkill instead of another High Voltage Con-job.

DA_SHREDDER5760d ago

I will tell you why they suck. They make AAA games like Skies of Arcadia and Im having withdraws till this day. Oh and they didn't publish Armada 2. Sega, you fuckin suck a big one.

GeoramA5760d ago

We got Yakuza 3 this year, and Yakuza 4 is coming to the US next year.

They're alright in my book.

Infernostew5760d ago

I'm glad Sega is showing Yakuza some love for once but you know they'll release it during an awful month or week and then blame their fans for not buying the game. Sega of America really need to get their act together but at least they're localizing Yakuza 4 but not after dumping Yakuza 3 and Resonance of Fate in a very crowded month.
