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

[Shark_Blade]

So Bayonetta is confirmed to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros in February. That reminds me of this tmnt development.

I've wanted a Platinum developed TMNT game for a while. Anyone who has played Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Wonderful 101, etc. knows they're a fantastic developer. They're also working on Starfox Zero with Nintendo.

dude im hoping for a open world TMNT game with the turtle van, and a dark atmosphere like the Arkem Batman games

If the turtles ever got an open world game I'd rather it not be a gritty take, a more sci-fi heavy game would be more interesting.

The problem with TMNT is you have 4 characters and it's hard to have a game where it makes sense to only control one of them. The beat em up genre was perfect for the turtles but sadly that's no longer a viable game anymore and they're seen as repetitive. A fighting game is great for the turtles but not a traditional fighter, more of a Power Stone or Smash type of fighting game. Funnily enough they already made those two types of games as turtles games and they were both mediocre takes but if given another chance I think those two could work. The 2007 movie game had an interesting idea on how to make a single player game and still introduce the turtles.

I'm not good at playing MMOs since it requires that you spend a lot of time grinding your characters, and leveling them up to be able to fight high level enemies.

But I wouldn't mind a TMNT MMO, If they let you create all sorts of characters, plus having the options to pick which faction you want to play, be it with the Foot Clan, Purple Dragons, Mutants, Vigilantes or Aliens.

I'm thinking it could be in the vein of the Wonderful 101. The player controls various mutants in a group setting. Just a fun guess.

I definitely think it will be an action game similar to Transformers Devastation and Bayonetta. I just hope since there are not to many weapons to give the Turtles they replace weapon switching with Turtle switching. You start a combo with Leo and switch to Mikey and he leaps towards the enemy and you can continue your attack. All four turtles will always be on screen. I hope they include some sort of combo attacks where two or more turtles gang up on one enemy like in out of the shadows.

My dream would be that they also include bonus characters like Casey. But I would settle for some costumes.

I'm hoping for this as well, the games based on the 2003 series weren't all that great but i loved how you could play as other characters besides the turtles like Splinter and Casey.

This looks to be like a XBLA leak of sorts, which is how this was found. In any case, looks like IDW is confirmed~!

[Powder]

I'm laughing at all the people who thought this wasn't gonna be IDW based.

F*ck yeah!

Excellent!!!

[Chaotix12345]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

Now give us a trailer! I MUST SEE THIS IN ACTION.

I just hope it's not bound by the IDW universe so they can do what they want in the game and feature what they want.

That's good, a TMNT game not based on the Nick show.

[MrTMNT2012]

This...this is the GREATEST! OMFG!!!

Most I've been excited for anything TMNT related since the 2K3 Series!

[Mugic]

So out of all the TMNT video games, is this the first one to be based on a comic and not a tv show or movie?

[Leo656]

Looks neat.

[Sabacooza]

Well, the cover art looks phenomenal. I wouldn't expect anything less from Santolouco. Now if the gameplay and graphics are top notch and there's more meat to it, this could really be an awesome game.

[Allio]

Even though we will probably get an original cast, what previous tmnt voice actors would you have voice the turtles?

If you don't count the very old DOS game, "Manhattan Missions", which took more cues from the Mirage comic than the 80s series. Or the various TMNT Tournament Fighter games that actually borrowed more from the Archie run.

The 2K3/4Kids cast is still easily my favorite of the bunch. Even though they sound a bit old for characters that are supposed to be "15-16", they're still the voices that resonate with me the most.

If the cover's to be believed, this'll be the first all-new game to have Krang since 1993
