Unlikely. Batman Arkham Asylum didn't get rushed out with the new Nolan's Batman movie at the time. They took their own time and release it when it's ready.

If they're smart, they would do the same.

That was a AAA game, unless we get confirmation that this game will have a high budget then this game will have a modest budget at best and rude the wave of the new film which already seems to be getting more marketing than the previous film.

The game has a 1 year development cycle and they likely started it after finishing Transformers. It'll probably still come out in the Fall because then they'd only have 6-8 months to complete the game which is nonsensical.

Just thank god this isn't a movie tie-in game, just imagine those hideous muscle bound Turtles with nostrils in a Platinum game is ridiculous. How would those hulking Turtles do martial arts anyway, they're not slim enough to be ninja's.

If the skins in the Tony Hawk game are what they're using, be glad they went with a "generic" TMNT design that could basically be based on anything.

Actually, it's probably likely that P* may have either a) been working on TMNT in tandem with TF: Dev or b) started work on the TMNT game shortly as the TF: Dev project started to come to a close, and more personnel were moved over as one project ended and the other was under full swing.

What we know about PlatinumGame is that they're a large enough studio to be fielding multiple projects at once across several teams, and that those various teams definitely stay busy. For example: the team that's helping Nintendo with StarFox Zero is made up of the same bunch lead by Yusuke Hashimoto that had finished Bayonetta 2 a year ago (and perhaps not unlike what's going on with TMNT here, hints were dropped that their next target was StarFox, with all the tie-in costumes and easter eggs that ended up in said game).

Meanwhile, Kenji Saito (Director of MGR: Rev), not only has TF as another notch recently added on his belt, but also the upcoming Nier Automata. And maybe TMNT, as well, if he's directing that TOO in addition to his other workloads.

But that's likely the very reason P* is such a worthwhile commodity to big publishers like Nintendo, Activision and Square Enix. They've proven themselves quite efficient, cost-effective and being able to handle multiple projects at once that have almost always been at a certain level of quality (sans Korra, but we know the story behind that one).

I wonder how the combat system on the game will be like, I never played the new Transformers game, but it looks like the bots are doing martial arts and doing all these big combos.

*sdp* · 12-13-2015, 03:16 PM

This game is likely using the exact same engine add the transformers game. This isn't batman and they'll want to piggy bank on the marketing. It'll be a downloadable game and might have a bargain bin physical release. It'll be a good game because of platinum games not because Activision is giving them the resources to make our happen. I stand by my summer release date.

Well luckily in that situation wb was smart enough to realize good games sell themselves and don't need movie hype backing them up. Plus they had a sting of mediocre batman games behind them and were probably desperate to break that trend.i think the question is if nick is smart enough to recognize that most gamers are over the whole process of rushing out games to meet the timing of a movie release and just want good well made games. And hopefully Activision learned enough from its last few tmnt games to put more resources and time behind this one. Imagine what out of the shadows might've been if red fly would have got more time and a AAA budget

I'm just glad we'll finally have a GOOD TMNT game to play again. Its been far too long (literally over a decade), since we've had a good TMNT game to play. Just the thought of the Turtles fighting with Platinum's style gameplay makes me excited.

Give us some good levels with varied locations like the classic 2D games, some great boss fights, and good movesets for each Turtle, and it'll be great.

You didn't even play Out of the Shadows ya dweeb, don't go throwing out declarations like that on things you've only experienced through other peoples' reviews.

I got my eye on you, buster.

*CyberCubed* · 12-15-2015, 09:08 PM

The Turtles have nostrils in that game, I don't think I can handle it.

Then you really are a blockhead.

You almost only ever see them from behind, and even from the front the camera is too zoomed out to even notice. Stop goofin', goofy.

Hoping for bargain bin physical release for PC.

I am hopping they take some features from the out of the shadows game when it comes to the turtles. I would love it if they were all on screen with you and you could switch on the fly. I would love online co-op as well. I really hope they add combo moves as well. I was not a huge fan of the combat in out of the shadows it was good, but I think Platinum is a great developer for TMNT and out of the shadows had some great ideas.

I wonder who is going to be the director, Kamiya one of the heads at platinum said he was a big TMNT fan and even based one of his characters Viewtiful Joe off the 90s TMNT movie turtles. He also owns turtles in time on the snes.

*Cure* · 12-21-2015, 09:55 PM

Kamiya is working on Scalebound.

Maelxich · 12-22-2015, 08:03 PM

He was also overseeing Bayonetta 2 when that was in development. Him being a Turtles fan was more of a interesting fact rather then me thinking he would be directing the game. He loves Star Fox but he is not directing that either. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, no need to be sorry.
