“Nothing bodes big surprises”: PlatinumGames CEO speaks about PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

The network continues to discuss a large interview with representatives Platinum games resource Vgc. Previously, the leaders of the company that presented us with such hits as the series Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance commented rumors of a partnership with Microsoft, and shared their thoughts about why the American corporation still has not been able to gain a foothold in the Japanese market.

But there is at least one more interesting topic of conversation that industry veterans simply could not ignore – upcoming new generation of consoles.

It turned out that for the leader Platinum games Atsushi Inaba the upcoming gaming systems do not seem particularly surprising or interesting.

“If you look back at the jump from Super Nintendo to the PlayStation, from pixel graphics to three-dimensional polygons, you understand that it was something that no one could even imagine before. And when technology confidently entered our lives, everyone was shocked No one was ready for this, no one expected anything like that. Everything seemed completely new.

And when they announced [PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series X], despite all their interesting features and capabilities, and despite the fact that I, as a developer, am very happy to work with these systems, it seems to me that today we have something “expected”. There are no sudden surprises, unexpected qualities, as it was before. I follow the announcements, find them curious, but after a minute I start to think about what kind of movie on Netflix to spend the evening.

However, this is just my personal opinion. For the industry as a whole, the upcoming generation looks very promising and I would not want my words to expose me as an absolute pessimist.

But if you give one more example, the Nintendo Switch. This is an absolutely innovative system that has done something that we have never encountered before – turned home gaming into a portable option. Literally destroyed this restriction, which no one had ever thought about before, “Atsushi Inaba shares his thoughts.

Creator of Bayonetta Hideki Kamiya in turn said that he did not even watch the presentation Unreal engine 5 – graphics improvement for him is absolutely expected, but there is nothing more to be surprised.

And yet the president Platinum games maintains healthy optimism regarding new gaming solutions Sony and Microsoft. Inaba hopes that something curious can still wait for us.

“The new generation has not yet shown itself to the end, and it is very likely that it will bring with it something that completely changes our usual games, in principle, changes the way they are built and played. In this case, I will be genuinely surprised. Don’t get it I’m wrong, I’m not saying that I know everything about these platforms and I consider them to be extremely uninteresting. Just based on the available information, nothing portends big surprises, “concluded Inaba.

Today Platinum games is creating a stylish action movie Bayonetta 3 for Nintendo switchas well as Hideki Kamiya’s new project – Project G.G.
