Thank you.;)

October is going to be a busy season this year. Yotei, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Double Dragon Revive all come out the same month. Here's hoping Rushing Beat X Comes out sooner or later and not within the same month as these three.

New Trailer - The Onryo List

You know, zombie survivor horror is nothing new, but this one has me intrigued. Actual regular guy with realistic, clunky weapon swings? Definitely keeping my eyes on this one

I'm getting a bit excited for all the hype Claire 33rd Obscure Expedition or whatever is getting. At first I was like, ugh, jRPG, turn-based combat, whatever, not for me, I hope it's good for those that are into it.
But apparently there's an active element to the turn-based combat, you can parry stuff (and yes i know I complain about too much parrying everywhere but this seems like a completely different context and context is infinintely more important than my personal bitchy gripes) and that seems cool!
Also the voice cast which has Daredevil and the praise it's getting for not boring with your with exposition lore monologues.

From what i've seen, parrying similar to how Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi RPGs do it. So it's one of those easy to perform, but tricky to master, yet they don't make it too difficult. There's also a dodge system too.

Same here. I'm always excited for Charlie Cox.

Ayyee. Good on Ebay users for standing their grounds. And as long as they are clear on it's a fake listing, it's not considered a scam; It's on the scalpers for using their shitty bots that can't read the description properly.

For people who are actually trying get one, they are also responsible for reading the fucking description. I get that they really want this (for some reason), but it doesn't take long to read "THIS IS A FAKE LISTING!"

Anything to screw over the scalpers, and I'm all for it.

PlatinumGames' next title could end up being another live service game like Babylon's Fall. One of the premier action game studios in the industry, PlatinumGames made a name for itself in the 2010s with widely celebrated titles like Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the Bayonetta series, and Nier: Automata. While independent, Platinum has been known to collaborate with many of Japan's largest publishers, such as Square Enix, Sega, and Nintendo.

Three years after its latest major release, the Nintendo Switch exclusive Bayonetta 3, PlatinumGames made a surprise appearance at Xbox's Developer Direct earlier this year. It was during the presentation that Xbox revealed that PlatinumGames is collaborating with Team Ninja, another widely adored action studio, on Ninja Gaiden 4. The next big mainline installment in the beloved ninja action franchise is due out sometime later this year, and many fans of the series are thrilled to have PlatinumGames' fingerprints on it.


A new job posting seems to have provided a glimpse into PlatinumGames' future beyond Ninja Gaiden 4. Platinum posted on Japanese job site HRMOS looking for a game designer who has "online action game" and "open field game" experience. With Ninja Gaiden 4, a linear single-player game, looking to roll out this year, this new job posting clearly seems to be about PlatinumGames' future.



Currently, the only known project Platinum is working on alongside Ninja Gaiden 4 is Project GG. Not much is known about Project GG aside from it being connected to former PlatinumGames leader Hideki Kamiya's superhero passion projects Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101. Even if Project GG is still in active development at Platinum after Kamiya's 2023 departure, which isn't likely considering its recent removal from the studio's website, it doesn't seem like the type of game to offer a live service open world experience based on the two games it's spiritually connected to.

There's also the possibility of a third Nier title. It's been four years since Square Enix's Nier Replicant remaster and even longer since Platinum's Nier: Automata. Fans of the series have been hungry for more, especially during Nier's 15th anniversary this year. This job listing could potentially mean Platinum and Square are looking to take a big risk with an online open-world Nier game. Considering how poorly 2022's live service title, Babylon's Fall, went over, and the fact that the large majority of Nier fans likely wouldn't care for a live service Nier installment, this doesn't seem like it'll be the case.
