Platinum Games ready to return to critical greatness



Platinum Games, originally some of Clover Studio, has announced their slate of games with publisher Sega. One of them is MadWorld (pics above and below), exclusively for the Wii and perhaps the goriest game for the system taking over the title No More Heroes has. According to these screens, it has a Sin City vibe with the black and white along with red blood. This is made from the guy that brought us Okami, the best game no one ever bought even though it starts pretty slow which made me gave up on it. For now, it is like an action brawler (Their last similar game was the underrated God Hand for PS2, which I liked but didn't beat it). No gameplay footage has been revealed yet (wait till E3), but a trailer was leaked to YouTube before being taken down. I'm always willing to support what Platinum Games will do next (They have a PS3/360 game called Bayonetta coming soon and looks pretty good being a combination of Devil May Cry and Bullet Witch) like their past efforts as Clover Studio like Viewitiful Joe and Okami. For more on MadWorld and Bayonetta, check out 1up's preview for MadWorld as well as IGN's thoughts and the teaser trailer for Bayonetta on Gamevideos (below).

UPDATE - Post now updated with MadWorld trailer, its really that bloody.
