With Hideki Kamiya's departure from Platinum Games, fans were curious as to what will happen to the previously teased Project G.G. Learn more about Hideki Kamiya's comments about Project G.G., and future plans about the game.
Hideki Kamiya Dodges Inquiry About Project G.G.
Project G.G. as Culmination of Kamiya's Superhero Trilogy
Hideki Kamiya, co-founder of game production studio Platinum Games, recently announced his departure. This news left fans wondering about the fate of one of Platinum's most anticipated projects, Project G.G. Originally announced in February 2020, this action-packed game was billed as the conclusion of director Kamiya's superhero trilogy, following the success of Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101.
Project G.G. is a brand-new game by Platinum Games seeming to involve large scale battles with giant monsters. Beyond the teaser trailer, little is known about Project G.G. However, according to Kamiya, the game will include a "core feature" unique to it, much like Witch Time in Bayonetta and Unite Morph in The Wonderful 101. Program G.G. has yet to be released and is still in development.
Uncertainty Surrounds Project G.G.
When asked about the status of Project G.G. on Twitter, Kamiya replied cryptically, "Ask Platinum about Platinum," casting doubt on the title's future. In response to inquiries following that advice, Platinum Games said they could not offer further details.
Project G.G.'s Promising Outlook
Despite lacking new information on Project G.G., Kamiya and Platinum Games President Atsushi Inaba and Vice President Takao Yamane had discussed it with Famitsu last year, hinting at its magnitude. The ambitious project significantly influenced VP Yamane's choice to join Platinum Games since he was utterly convinced of its potential as a fun and groundbreaking game. Additionally, it was verified that Project G.G. is planned for global distribution in both physical and digital form.
A Collaborative Vision for Innovation
Project G.G. would apparently not have grown to its present scale if Kamiya had developed the concept alone. The project's enormous scope was greatly influenced by President Inaba's broad perspective and commitment to revolutionizing game production. Inaba advocated a paradigm shift rather than a single game, picturing it as the future of how Platinum Games would approach game design.
Kamiya thought about this suggestion and said, "I could certainly realize this by adding to the core of Project G.G.," which resulted in the vast and ambitious undertaking we see today. As a result, the game evolved in a way that Kamiya himself had not anticipated.
Among the intriguing insights, Kamiya gave one assurance: fans can expect to see a Shiba Inu within Project G.G., adding a fascinating twist to the game's already enthralling premise.
