  • Shinji Mikami - Platinum Games Fourth Title

    "In May 2008, PlatinumGames announced a four game deal with Sega. The games involved in the development and publishing deal included Bayonetta, a "stylish action game" for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 directed by Hideki Kamiya and featuring "a witch battling angels", a science-fiction RPG for the Nintendo DS called Infinite Space, and MadWorld, an "ultra ultra violent" action game for the Wii with black and white Sin City-inspired graphics. A fourth title, directed by Shinji Mikami, is yet to be revealed."

    (extract from Wikipedia article)

    As many of you may or may not know, Mikami's SEEDS inc. studio became Platinum Games, or rather merged with a few other studios to create Platinum Games. Mikami also has a privately held studio which is called Straight Story but this studio will publish and develop under the brand of PlatinumGames and in the future will probably either merge or be surmised by it.

    Many of you are also probably aware of the very recent announcement that Shinji Mikami would be working with Grasshopper Manufactor (who will be working with Q Entertainment) on a Goichi Suda designed, Shinji Mikami produced game which is an action-horror shooter slated for the PC and all consoles. To be published and funded by EA. Many people have high hopes for this. However, this is not the fourth title that Shinji Mikami is directing and designing at Platinum Games. This was confirmed not to be that title by PlatinumGames themselves.

    A fan wrote "This sounds like it'd be a different project than his Platinum Games game.

    PlatinumGames responded and said "Yeah, this is a different game than the one he is directing here at PlatinumGames."

    That being said, does anyone know anything about Shinji Mikami's game (the one he is designing and directing for PlatinumGames, not the Grasshopper manufacture one)? Is this going to be a horror/survival horror game, do we at least know that?

      Hopefully the collaboration will share the whacked out vision of Suda, with the gameplay mechanics provided by Mikami.
      But frankly we know nothing yet so no point getting your hopes up.
