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

[sdp]

-Summer release as expected and I guess a bunch of posters need to eat crow now.

-I still don't like the art style

-I thought PC had been confirmed?

-Is this in continuity with IDW or just using the character designs?

Was that Armaggon? If so we can add him to Bebop, Rocksteady, Slash, and Wingnut. I am stoked!

Its written by Tom Waltz and using the IDW designs, but the actual story isn't canon with the comics I don't think. Just loosely based on it.

Characters like Armaggon and Wingnut have never appeared in the IDW comic, yet it seems they're in this game.

Aww man summer can't come fast enough now. The hype is real. I just hope platinum reveals more about the game's mechanics tomorrow.

[Powder]

Armaggon! & yay, Steam, I can resume my excitement!

Ok good, I just think that by not being bound by continuity they can have an awesome story with awesome villains that wouldn't make sense in the real IDW universe but because this is a one shot thing it doesn't matter. I think that's the reason the old games had an advantage over say the 2k3 or Nick games, they weren't bound to what the tv show was doing and just put all the fan favorite characters there for no reason whatsoever.

TMNT videogames only need a simple plot anyway, they're just beat 'em ups. This isn't Metal Gear Solid or The Witcher.

PC confirmed? Take my money!

This looks pretty sweet!

Looks like the director is Eiro Shirahama, who directed Korra.

For years, hardcore fans have been asking for a TMNT game that lets players team up for a little co-op action, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan is exactly what they’ve been looking for. And if online co-op isn’t your cup of tea, you can always complete the campaign individually and dynamically switch between Turtles in the heat of battle.

Long-time fans will undoubtedly recognize the art. The developers took a lot of inspiration from IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book series, blending it with their own distinctive visuals and animation. And lets not forget about the combat. PlatinumGames’ mastery of fast-paced, silky smooth combat is on full display, but referring to this game as an “Action Brawler” doesn’t really do it justice. Director Eiro Shirahama explains it this way:

"We’ve put a lot more into this game than just combat: you can climb walls, glide along wires, and there’s a lot of freedom of movement that ties into the action. With this game, players will be able to feel like they’re the Turtles themselves, running, grinding, and gliding around NYC to prevent crimes."

Each Turtle has a unique stable of maneuvers that bolsters the team’s offensive potential. And when the battle gets really tough, they can combine their strength for an enemy-obliterating team attack. But I should probably warn you; the Foot Clan won’t be easily defeated, even if your teammates are.

That looks like the single best TMNT anything in a very long time.

Very sweet. Can't wait.

Finally a TMNT game to get excited about

Steam with my shiny new XBox One Elite Controller for me.

I'm just so glad they based this on the IDW Turtles instead of making it a movie tie-in game since it comes out in the summer at the same time as the 2016 movie.

They could have based this on the movie, thank god they did not.

[Leo656]

Amen, brother.

Completely agree.
I am hoping this will bring more readers to the comic.

Also Armaggon!!!!!
