Do you even know the games they are making, one is a DS game and the other is a undated Q4ish PS3/360 game
MadWorld is their biggest game and their biggest chance for a paycheck, it most likely had the bulk of their employees working on it.
But wtf it sucks cause its short and all short games blow and should be $9.99
I think thats the repeated message throughout this thread, I will have to remember that when we get another Heavenly Sword game that is $60 and last about 3hrs

I'm pretty sure Bayonetta is using the bulk of their employees.

Dev companies don't just split up teams like that. Employees will go from one project to the next very easily depending on the various stages of development that each game is on. MadWorld, since it's coming out first, probably had the attention of most of PG for the past year or so. Most of them are probably now working on Bayonetta since it's next. And Mikami's next project probably only has a very small team working on it since we've seen almost nothing from it yet. I doubt that the maximum number of people on the team was 35, probably closer to 50 or 60.
And hey, 85 people still doesn't count everybody that could possibly have worked on the game. What about voice actors and Sega's marketing team?

You honest to god believe a game nobody has really seen, that has a date of 2009 and little to no hype had the bulk of developers instead of a game Platinum Games was pushing in early 2008 with no publisher in order to get the game released?
Naw, those ads we see in print and all over USA, Sci Fi and Spike were all done for free and the networks were so nice the expensive primetime airtime was also free

You're going to have to tell us what this game is because near as I can tell all his major upcoming projects are Nintendo games
The biggest game on his plate is a sequel to the game you keep dismissing as a failure

MadWorld is a third-party exclusive for the Wii that's aimed at "hardcore" gamers and is getting excellent reviews. I should have known that this thread would be full of hate.
A lot of people in this thread are acting as though the resolution a game runs at is more important than its gameplay or overall design. Others are debating the length of the game without taking the genre and replay value into consideration. And, naturally, you have the usual "Wii games shouldn't be full price" comments thrown in for good measure. I'm not suggesting that the game doesn't have any flaws, but I find it hilarious how a game can get a 9.0 and people still feel the need to shine a spotlight on negative aspects about the game. IGN's review of the game was overwhelmingly positive. Why is this thread so negative?

Because in the world of GAF good 3rd party Wii games do not exist, if they do they have a load of strings attached that could make them so much better
Those include the shoulda's of online co-op, DLC, higher resolution, longer playtime, and cheaper price
Oh yeah and the shoulda been on PS3/360 aka should be in HD

I said kind of hard mode. MadWorld is suppose to have a very specifically tuned hard mode, isn't it? Does the hard mode in Heavenly Sword just play with some numbers like make enemies hit harder or is it like in MadWorld where the AI for enemies change?
I recently beat No More Heroes and I am currently punching my way through God Hand. If it's as long as those, which get praised fairly often, who cares? This game looks like a carbon copy of NMH with a decent level of polish and more variety in the gameplay.
Beat-em-ups have always been like this. Short bursts of bloody excess that would get stale if they tried to stick in filler content. I don't even put DMC and Ninja Gaiden in the same genre, those games have too much platforming/puzzle bullshit.

IIRC with my playthroughs on Heavenly Sword's hardest difficulty level, the AI is much more aggressive and demanded better timing in switching stances (whatever it was called). Dunno about the number or mobs hitting harder and what not. i'm sure they did, just like they will in Madworld. Hell, the Eurogamer review said the game started getting cheap the farther you went with no mention of hard mode.
<shrug> Should still be fun though unless it's overly cheap.

I'm so glad this game is short. I don't have time to finish long games anymore. And when games are longer, they're normally almost half boring filler. I don't know what everyone is bitching about.

Yeah it seems like such a simple thing to implement for a score driven game (especially an M rated one that doesn't have to worry about MvthaFvcka being top of the leaderboard) that its absence seems strange. I mean doesn't Sonic and the Black Knight have them? They were noticeably absent in HOTD:Overkill as well, but are present in Ghost Squad.Busaiku said:

Well that's valid, it's just that anytime Matt reviews a game it just HAS to be a hardcore title that HAS to have online leaderboards, or online co-op, or anything that the typical forum poster would beg for in each thread. He might as well get it tattoo'd on his forehead whenever he heads off to interview Wii developers to save himself the mouthwork, then sticky tape a bunch of foam arms to his back which all point to this tattoo, so he looks like a giant journalistic brand-spider walking around letting people know what he's inevitably going to say on the video review of their game.
God damn. Your typical person won't be able to tell shit between 480i and 480p, and please, do not add co-op to a game just to say it's there. RE5 is the worst offender of this. They wanted to westernize the franchise and make it more appealing to the 360 userbase and now the game suffers from shitty single-player partner AI, linearity, and a loss of "RE-ness".
Still on the fence on this one. I love the art style though.
I'm kinda sad about no 480p. I'm no graphix whorez, it's just that with no 480p, I'll have to play it on my shitty grandgrandgrandgrandgrandmother's TV which sucks given that the game is a looker :/
O RLY NAO THATS AN UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCE :O
