Today, a team is very good X, the game is very cattle X,.
But the game company is very miserable and hard
Its name is “Platinum Studio”
Look at the team first, it really counts on the Platinum level.
It’s all big and easy to pick one inside.
↑↑ “The Resident Evil” father Sanshangzhen, “Devil May Cry” producer Shen Gu Yingshu, Inaba Deng Zhi.
Secondly, it developed a lot of word-of-mouth bursting games.There are 9 in the
13 works with an average score of more than 75 points in Metacritic
Among them, “Hunting Angel Witch”, “Neil: Mechanical Era”, etc.
is more consistent with the media and players ↓↓.
Great gods gather, masterpieces,.
Platinum Studio is simply a high-end fighter in the game industry
然, is its development really as bright and beautiful as the surface?
哔哔君 want to tell you, not!
Behind the glory, Platinum Studio has a bad time!
So the question is coming, where is it going to be?
Let me take a closer look at everyone
First of all, it “made a lot of marriages”,.
But the hardship is that most of the “married non-human.”
In the same year, several founders resigned from Capcom.
I think I can finally do the game I think about
But the cruel reality is that you can do whatever you want with money.
Everything is there, but when Platinum has no money, it can only go bankrupt
Fortunately, just as it dying,
The big money Sega actually took the initiative to come to the door to raise the family.
Not only promised to take over all the distribution work of Platinum.
Also promised the budget of five games in one breath!
This makes the platinum that is so poor that it has passed the life of the “rich wife.”
Just then it didn’t know,
In fact, Sega is a dictator of dictatorship
Sega’s first dictatorship,
Is to interfere with game development regardless of Platinum’s will
During the development of “The Hunting Angel Witch”,.
It is not necessary to change this to change that
This makes the platinum that is used to freedom feel very angry
More to make Platinum crazy, is.
Sega forcibly took over the PS3 porting work of “Hunting Angel Witch”, even if it was.
Still actually TM messed up!
To know, in the same level of host,
PS3 hardware performance and graphics have been far ahead
I did not expect that the PS3 version of the “Hunting Angel Witch” actually became a slideshow.
Can only be rubbed on the ground by the XBOX360
Tell the truth, if you are on such an “object”.
Believe it or not, it’s two slaps!
Platinum also thought about picking people away.
But for life, I still have to endure it
However, what it doesn’t know is that Sega has long seen it is not pleasing to the eye!
Because of the subsequent sales of several games, it is not too high
So when Platinum proposed the “Hunting Angel Witch 2” plan,.
Sega rejected the request in the name of “wasting money”
A seemingly happy “marriage” has come to an end
Leaving Sega’s Platinum does not have a long “empty window period”.
Soon it met it’s next object, Nintendo
Nintendo said that as long as it can be monopolized, it is willing to provide development funds
Unfortunately, this “love” has no good results -.
“Hunting Angel Witch 2” sold only 38,000 in the first week.
Only one quarter of the sales of the same generation
Is this because the quality of the game is too bad?
Full evaluation of the major media, find out!
↑↑ “Hunting Angel Witch 2”.
Then where is it going to suffer? Yes, it is exclusive to WiiU
Since WiiU is really too poor,.
Five years of sales have not been followed by Switch for more than ten months
The exclusive game can only follow the street!
↑↑宫本茂 and WiiU host.
After leaving Nintendo, Platinum is still poor and stumbling
But with the word-of-mouth and personal charm of the works,
And quickly “talked a few times in love” -.
First, I’m on the move, launching several games that say you won’t be impressed.
The result is natural and flat
Then I went to Microsoft and co-developed the masterpiece “Dragon Scale Incarnation”.
It took three and a half years, I thought it would be this time
Unexpectedly, Microsoft unilaterally “proposed breakup”.
Directly cancel the project! Years of hard work and bloody!
↑↑ The dragon scale incarnation was cut off.
The successive blows made Platinum grief and fell into desperation.
If it is not “Neil: Mechanical Era”, it will be released in time.
Platinum may have really gone bankrupt
“Neil: Mechanical Era” is a game jointly developed by SE and Platinum.
Once on the line, it was a great success.
This gave Platinum a wave of blood and pulled it back from the gate
↑↑ “Neil: Mechanical Era”.
In fact, “marriage many times” is not the most difficult for Platinum Studio
The hardest thing is that it is “unborn”!
In recent years, Japanese traditional action games have been somewhat overdone
For Platinum Studios,The
Japanese traditional action game is precisely what it is best at.The result of
Is that it does the game,.
No matter how high the quality of the game, how good the word of mouth is, it is difficult to sell
Take Platinum’s famous work “Hunting Angel Witch”.
When I was born, I got the media high score, and the player’s word of mouth exploded.
But sales are another thing –
It was only after one year of sale that it moved slowly to 1 million
In contrast to “Call of Duty”, this fixed new year,.
Selling less than 10 million is embarrassed to say hello
And big manufacturers are often very utilitarian.
The game can’t make money, then why am I still raising you?
It’s not that Platinum’s strength is not enough.
Can only say that it is the current market that makes it difficult
The more realistic question is,
Every time you are in trouble with a big factory, Platinum is a “clean-up”
This means that Platinum has made so many masterpieces.
But as long as “divorce”, these games have no relationship with it
“Hunting Angel Witch” has a good reputation, only belongs to Sega and Nintendo.
“Neil: Mechanical Era” is fire again, and it is just the IP of others SE
In the game, there is no sequel, when will it come out?
Can you authorize, authorize, etc. on these issues.
In addition to the decision of the big manufacturers to make a decision,
Platinum does not have any say at all
That is to say, Platinum, which has suffered so much bitterness, is still empty in the end
Review the development of Platinum Studios.
It was originally created with only two words: Free!
But in fact, since its inception, Platinum Studio has gone awry
I started to rely on Sega, and I accepted it for the sake of money.
It didn’t take long before I turned to Nintendo.
But unfortunately spread the WiiU this is not a strong host;
Later, it was “contained” by various manufacturers.
For more than a decade, Ming Ming made a lot of masterpieces.
But still a no money, no IP, no publisher’s “three No studio”.
Fortunately, it has survived at least, and there is room for choice.
Now, Platinum Studio learns lessons.
Although still in many big factories Talking about “love” –
Outsourcing to pick up some of your favorite lists,
but have decided to take a new step,
Try to follow the path of independent developers and build your own IP
Perhaps, in this era of indie games,
Platinum Studio can find the freedom you want as soon as possible
