[:plant:] Clover Studios is ANGRY at you for not buying Okami (or Godhand)

So some of you may remember a little game developer called Clover studios, some of you may never have heard of them. Inaba and co moved on and started a new group called Platinum Games. Seems like Sega's going to publish their first titles.


Wii is getting the hyper-violent black-and-white cartoon action game MadWorld

Error; are you sure that's a YouTube link?

While PS360 is getting an equally hilarious looking Bayonetta.



Teaser on gametrailers.


I have no doubt these games will be fun and fresh, but you can't help wondering if this is their way of begrudgingly conforming to what target audiences want, all the while taking the piss on us. These games look really freaking awesome, but I wonder how much of MadWorld stems from frustration and the age-old joke that gamers just want violence in their games.



EDIT:

Oh, and a sci-fi RPG for the DS, called Infinite Line!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, that the gaming media and three message boards praise a game sadly doesn't mean everyone else bought it. As much as people will always gush about Sands of Time, Beyond Good & Evil and Okami, they all did relatively poorly. Same way "everyone" will tell you they freaking loved Shadow of the Colossus, but it won't show in the sales.

Alternatively, the level of internet banter regarding GTA4 is completely at odds with just how many people have bought the game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I was trying not to underline the obvious "So you guys want more blood, huh" explanation. I see one or two people didn't see it that way

How ya doing, buddy?

Whoah whoah, I am happy they're making new games, where does it say I'm not? I wouldn't make a thread for a game if I wasn't excited about it.

Help me out here someone, I mean I put the potted plant there and everything. Was I supposed to use more winking smilies or what?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.

So let's reshape it into something even you can grasp.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ok, I don't know what the hell you want from me.

He asked for an explanation and I explained it. You start yipping at me for trying to make excuses when there's a god damn misunderstanding I didn't notice. I guess I worded this hipster-escue statement much worse than I realized and it came out something that really pisses you off.

I worded it for you differently. Shouldn't be any indication of negative feelings towards Clover in that one. If that's backpedaling, then you have deep personal issues you need to sort out somewhere away from me.

FELIPE NO

I too haven't gotten around to starting it properly since I know how long it is, how much I want to savour it, and how many shorter games I have around to wade through. But I grabbed it on released just to have it. It's not the kind of game that'll go into the bargain bin here. Quality games that sell poorly tend to disappear entirely here instead of getting price cuts

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

TGS trailer of Infinite Space is on gametrailers

A GARAXY OF POWERFUL RIVALS



Also Baoynetta but it's looking pretty silly........

Most amazing jew boots

It's coming for the 360 as well though.
