First Screenshots of Platinum Games' TMNT Game Leak

These cell-shaded pictures of "Turtles in Manhattan" all but confirm the existence of the game.

Remember how we reported that Bayonetta dev Platinum Games was Pure Xbox [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/165242-Platinum-Games-Developing-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Title], we've now got some pretty definitive proof of the game's existence, in the form of these five in-game screenshots:

The new game will be entitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, and from the looks of things, appears to be a cell-shaded 3D beat-em-up, probably with multiplayer elements. Earlier in the year, the game was classified for release in Australia [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/165242-Platinum-Games-Developing-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Title], and given an "M" for Mature rating. The game was also classified in Brazil a few weeks earlier, which revealed it would be releasing on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.

The Pure Xbox source also leaked the game's official box art, but it is a rather small and low quality image:



That's all we know for now, but we have reached out to Platinum Games as well as Activision (the reported publisher) for more information.

Took me a second to realise those were headsets and not ears. The art's solid, and if I can get three buddies on this, I will likely pick it up.

Looks like they're taking their cues largely from the IDW comic series, but with some elements of the current live-action movie series.

I smell DLC and season passes. I'm going with Krang and the TechnoDrome being day-1 DLC. And several $.99 costumes and weapon skins. And Casey Jones will be...oh...$5.

Man... those screenshots are freakin' awesome.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there is a single Platinum game that did that... I'm also struggling to think of a game they came out that actually had DLC.

Anarchy Reigns had DLC.

Rated M in Australia?

Not sure if typical Australian government prudishness, or Turtles iteration that is as awesome and violent as the comics.

 

[Tanis]

I...I don't hate this.
Reminds me a mix of the new cartoon and the new comic series.

Being Plat at the every least the game play is going to be solid, though the game will probably be short.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

I giggled like a kid. NINJA TURTLES! I can't wait for this.

 

[Dominic Crossman]

If that M rating mean turtles with lethal weapons get to actually... you know KILL then I'll think about it.
It was always my biggest annoyance growing up that in the movies and cartoons I watched that the swords and sais weren't really used, unless the opposition was stab-proof/mechanical.

 

[Rastrelly]

Honestly, what I see on screenshots looks ugly. I understand, celshading, stylization, but lack of detail with modern-style stock textures creates strong feeling of "we have low budget and are not going to do anything to hide it".

 

[Gutsripper]

This looks promising, It's been a while since we had good TMNT game.
I'm such a fan I even bought that 'TMNT: Out of the Shadows'game which turned out to be pretty bad.
Wonder when this will come out.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Well now...this looks a lot better than the last few TMNT games. I can't wait for the official announcement so I can further lament the fact that I still don't have a PS4. Between that and Transformers Devastation though I'm just about out of reasons to not have one.

 

[Something Amyss]

Well now...this looks a lot better than the last few TMNT games.

Is that really saying anything, though?

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I like Platinum but TMNT does nothing for me.

 

[The Bucket]

I'm hoping this doesnt go the way of the Legend of Korra Platinum game

 

[nomaner]

I hope that there is skin options based on the other TMNT shows to appeal to the other parts of the fanbase and give the game replayability.

 

[Foolery]

Heck yeah, I really like the artstyle. Not sure what's up with the headsets but, they are definitely using the IDW comics.

 

[the December King]

Love the style, but I don't like the turtles' faces. They look far more human than I like. Otherwise it looks fun.

Sadly it might be possible. I could be wrong, but isn't this being published by activision? I'm guessing we'll be getting another legend of korra.
