Platinum Games (Bayonetta/Metal Gear Rising) making new TMNT game?

[CyberCubed]

This game isn't coming out till likely Fall 2016, I don't expect to see anything of it for a long time.

[Technogeek29]

I'd say in the summer, right around mid May.

I could see it releasing earlier due to two reasons:

1) a Fall release would mean getting overshadowed by bigger releases at that time, not unlike how TF: Dev was swallowed up by bigger things released in the same time frame (like Activision's own Destiny Taken King)

2) If they released it earlier, like say, closer to when the second Bay-Turtles movie is set to arrive, the cross-promotion could help both products more effectively (even if they otherwise have nothing to do with each other)


And if nothing else it could be a highlight of what usually is a long summer drought.

But eh...this Activision, after all. They don't always do what makes sense.

True, though I'm sure Activision will have some movie tie in games, they had two for the first one, on Mobile and the 3DS.

And they likely do.

But if this particular game is meant to be the jumpstart for the IDW Turtles being introduced to a larger audience that may not even be aware that they exist, the opportunity to market them along with the regularly scheduled Bay-verse and Nick-verse stuff should be there.

It's kinda like how Capcom feels free to market a variety of RE video games in close proximity with the Anderson movie series, knowing full well they have nothing to do with the games besides having a few characters in common. But it often works because fans of one sometime roll over and take interest in the other.

The Playstation Experience is on today, and no announcement about the game.

[shredder orokusaki]

I am very dissapointed. There was not any annoucments not even during playstation experience.

[Powder]

Nobody but you was expecting any.

[Netkeeper]

So wait, I somehow missed this GLORIOUS news and don't really have time to go through the whole thread. Are there any details known about this? I caught IDW and Platinum, and I'm intensely interested. Wii U? It's all I got since I'm pretty sure they're phasing out PS3 versions of new games now.

lmfao wii u is always my first question when a new game i like is announced...

[Ninjinister]

IDW isn't confirmed but is likely.

Systems listed in the certification(s?) are Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. No Nintendo systems have been mentioned yet.

Pretty much no data other than the above and name/developer/publisher. Oh and it's rated M in Australia, which is like a T in North America.

[Netkeeper]

Oh, if PS3 is still an option then I'm good. I'm already pumped.

as long as it's not Nick or Bayturtles i'm all about it.

That's awkward, since it was just confirmed to be a Nickelodeon/Paramount crossover game.

MAN, **** THIS GAME, AND **** YOU TOO BUDDY.

[MrTrikey]

Pffffffffffffft @ Ninjinister.

Ah, well, in any case. I guess if Activision didn't announce it at either event, they're likely going to wait for the Christmas season to pass before doing so.

I'd imagine if they were going to announce it in full no later than January, that'd give them about 6 months to advertise it, assuming they really did want to have the game out close to when the next Bay-Turtles movie debuts next year.

Yeah I totally forgot about the new movie, this game isn't coming out in the Fall it'll come out in summer to cash-in on the new movie.

[Ninjinister]

If we could all stop stating our speculation as facts... that'd be totally great.

[slingtheory]

I can see them timing it that way because cross promotion is awesome and all but I really hope that's where the connection to those two things end. Last time I got my hopes up for a tmnt game not only did it turn out to be based on the movie but it was mobile game. It would suck so hard to have that happen twice

This isn't rampant speculation but logical reasoning based on trends. Ever studied finances? It's not a fact but it's far from baseless. I'm willing to bet my signature for 6 months if the title doesn't come out in the summer.
