Playstation Tablet 1,746 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Daniel Ahmad ✔ @ZhugeEX With Platinum Games having secured an investment from Tencent, which will allow the company to pursue a multi platform strategy for self developed IP, we should start to hear more about what they’ve been working on soon. https:// Apparently new Kamiya IP.

102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 this is kind of worrying as they've been a staple in Nintendo's exclusive lineup. Hopefully this doesn't affect games like bayonetta 4 and a potential astral chain 2 in the future, these games should never be sullied by multiplat status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tencent money means Platinum no longer has to be bogged down and locked into making Switch games only. Now SEGA can kick Nintendo to the curb, have Tencent fund multiplat versions of new Bayonetta games Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Man, Platinum Games must've really not wanted them to reject them for that long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PG must have not taken it seriously if nothing gets done over the course of an entire year. Only ONE SIDE has the power to drag out that deal. I love your lowered bar of victory here..........let's see if I can get it lowered even more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were looking at funding..............in the form of loans. And not funding...............in exchange for an ownership in the company. Tell me........is Microsoft in the business of handing out pure capital investments when it comes to video game companies? The answer is no. So there was never going to be a deal. Like you just said, Platinum wanted independence, and since Microsoft would've never offered that, in a legal binding way............there was never any real deal being negotiated.

Begging for funding... probably keeping MS in negotiations just in case their plans fell through.. then they would have sold the company. LOL Holy shit! Oh well... Platinum Games for all. Thanks Tencent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Holy shit! Oh well... Platinum Games for all. Thanks Tencent Nah, clearly not. Nothing indicates that they were on the verge of a financial disaster. And if so, they would've had Nintendo to rely on for the loan. Instead they waited on a pure loan with the least amount of strings attached. That sounds like a company who had leverage and room to wait for the best possible deal. Microsoft was never in the running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for admitting you just lost the argument regarding Microsoft. That was quick. LOL I don't mind Platinum Games having freedom. Still doesn't stop the fact that Nintendo licensed Bayo from Sega, and therefore there can never be more Platinum-developed Bayo Games unless it goes through Nintendo-Sega.
