[UPDATE] Platinum Games says Astral Chain was developed with intentions of being part of a trilogy

3Sqr5oQ.png

Releasing in the coming months is one of the bigger third-party exclusives for the Nintendo Switch--Astral Chain--which is being developed by the beloved Platinum Games. During an interview with IGN Benelux, the director of Astral Chain, Takahisa Taura, commented on if the game would have any DLC, saying that while there's no DLC planned for release, Platinum has developed this new IP with the intentions of it being the first part of a trilogy. In terms of story, there's enough content to cover two more games in the future. However, whether we see those sequels in the future relies on how well Astral Chain sells, when it releases on August 30th.

So it's because of it being good in the hack and slash genre and it doing that mostly better than other games who try to do the same ?
they basicaly broght back a style that was mostly dead, besides god of war you didnt see many AAA games using that style anymore, sure you got the odd release of DMC here and there but that was about it, they made it their style and they made stylish games instead of being serious tone ones like dmc or gow and such with their art direction, and they made them great, and proved they could adapt their style of gameplay from being basic beaten up like bayoneta, to 3rd person shooters vanquish to action rpgs like nier automate and even made great licensed games like metal gear rising and transformers, so yeah they make action packed games full of style basicaly and their gameplay is always spot on.

Nier is a square enix franchise from the same universe as drakengard created by taro yoko, sawako notori etc but i get what you're saying. Automata was still written by Yoko Taro. Atleast i got a genuine answer to the question i was asking so now i know more why people are exited for this game.

what does it matter what nier automata is? metal gear is also a konami ip by hideo kojima, they make games for alot of people, they are the main studio of nier automata, just becuase its a sequel doesnt make the game less theirs lol, so i guess transformers, tmnt,metal gear,avatar and star fox arent ehirs becuase they are ips that arent original? doesnt make much sence.

because i keep seeing people mentioning that game like it is solely a platinum game wich it isn't. The whole universe was created by someone else and they helped out with automata but they didn't made the game entirely themselves but for some reason are getting all the credit without most people even knowing the franchise was created by someone else and that you have a whole list of games in that universe being Nier on the ps3 and the drakengard games.

lol thats changes nothing, they made the entire game by request from the creators, same way they made metal gear rising, even studios like giving games to them to make it with their style.

srs so you are only pissed becuase people dont even know about the series past and give platinium games credits for making a great game?

doesnt make the games less of theirs and less of a sucess... its still platinium games game set in nier universe.

i dont see anyone complaning that metal gear rising gets credit and its an hideo kojima universe lol.

I'm not pissed, i even said thank you for giving me an honest answer to a question. Why does everybody keep getting so defensive. Anyway Nier automata wasn't made entirely by platinum games while metal gear rising sorta was. It was not written by Hideo Kojima while Nier automata was written by the original creator., there's a difference in that. Anyway off to bed, have to work tomorrow in the scorching sun.

the entire game was developed by platinium games they were directed by the same guy that made the first game and he made the scenarios too, so yeah they didnt direct it but they made it lol

in contrast the same guy at square enix without platinium made the original nier wich was preety average Metacritic68 / 100 so yeah platinium games made a huge damn diference too, if he made it with square enix again you would probably never heard much about the sequel to an average game.

I for one actually liked the previous game a lot more and the reason why it had that score was because the story was kinda complex for people not familiar with the universe. Also you're giving me the scores of critics while user score for xbox 360 and ps3 is higher than 85. I think users define what makes a series great more than a game journalist does ;) Because if it didn't work like that then we wouldn't have gotten drakengard 2, 3 and Nier after that since scores from critics were low with all those games while user scores way above 80 with all of them. User scores are actually basically the same as for nier automata and the user reviews are all calling it the game of the year so yeah.

i gave you all metacritic scores for being standard.

Did i ever said i dislike it ? I liked it but me saying i like the previous title more instantly makes me hate it according to you. Don't spin a narrative okay because that's what you're doing now. I really don't get where you're getting that from. Is it that hard to have a decent discussion with someone on here before somebody instantly gets defensive and have to react the way you're doing now, okay anyway i'm off to bed.

I don't think it will have an open ending. Being part of a trilogy does not necessarily mean open ending. Look at Spyro or Crash Bandicoot, both are trilogies (the original one, of course), and does not have an open ending.

This actually seems pretty interesting. I'll definitely nab it once it comes out.

@kumikochan While I don't know the specific reason for each person liking Platinum, the reason I like their games is because they are not afraid to experiment new things with their games.

One of my all time favourite games is Infinite Space, one of the four games developed as part of a deal with SEGA, while it is clearly not a game for everyone, the game ends up being really unique.
Hideki Kamiya himself is one of the reasons why I am a fan of this studio. Hideki Kamiya is the father of DMC, he wrote and directed the first Devil May Cry game which is why people sometimes mention Platinum when refering to DMC.

Let's see how these new threadmarks work...

Following the interview with IGN, Platinum Games' Takahisa Taura took to Twitter to clear some things up. Initially stated in the interview was that Platinum planned for Astral Chain to be a series of three games, should sales prove to be impressive. However, this appears to have been misconstrued in the article. While Taura claims he has many ideas on where to take the series, should it ever receive a sequel one day, they're all just mere thoughts. Platinum Games has no plans for additional content, be it DLC or future entries, at this time.

NOT EVERY studio releases master piece from the begining of their career: Even from software made some garbage like KUON, but we don't burry them with criticism.

We almost remember Platinum for making Metal gear Rising, Bayonetta, vanquish and Nier automata, especially the last one, such gorgeous butt :3

Im only asking, but doe your sentence mean, Metal Gear Rising is a Master Piece? This game was like Final Fantasy 7 Cerberus for the Final Fantasy IP: Something they should have never made. Or bether made it under a new IP.

a very critic troll confirmed, only capable to spit manure on games based on ur only opinions.

freund, you don't have to force urself to like a game, just play something else, but go and check it on STEAM, many people like me had enjoyed the game.
