Telling the Story in Vanquish: Cutscenes

PlatinumGames — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:44:43 +0000

Hello. My name is Kunihiko Tsuda and I was in charge of creating the cutscenes for Vanquish. With a game a speedy, well-paced game like Vanquish, we had to take care to make sure that cutscenes didn’t bring down the tempo of the experience. Normally, cutscenes take a game’s script and expand upon them with direction and ideas; with Vanquish, the focus was on two main types of scenes – the areas where we wanted to show incredibly explosive shots, like the action scenes and opening, and scenes where we needed to push the game forward with exposition. Ultimately, there was a good variety in the scenes when you look at the total volume of what we created. This post contains content intended for mature audiences. Click more to verify your age.

Bayonetta TV Commercial

Yusuke Hashimoto — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:57:26 +0000

Producer Yusuke Hashimoto here, now with a completely stuffed mail box since all the games I ordered online all showed up the other day. (Strangely enough, my package delivery box was empty though...) So Bayonetta will be released on 1/5 in North American and 1/8 in Europe and Australia! I hope all of our fans overseas are looking forward to it. It’s been a quick two months since the release in Japan. When I think about the opportunity to expand the borders of the game and have even more people try it out, I can only get excited. So that is why I wanted to write a blog entry about some of the marketing efforts we are partaking in overseas. First up is the TV commercial we will be airing overseas. [wpvideo Yp5oR4I3] The commercial features a soundtrack provided by La Roux, an incredibly popular band in Europe. Compared to the Japanese commercial, it is a much darker, but very cool! For me, this kind of dark commercial hits my personal sweetspot because it fits the game’s atmosphere quite nicely. Actually, for the Japanese MTV Special for Bayonetta, La Roux came in for a chat with MiChi. During filming, the director of the show, Sakuma-san, mentioned that he thought that La Roux were “insane.” We watched one of their music videos, and I had to admit it was pretty cool. What was funny was the we watched the same song that we ended up using in the commercial, “In for the kill (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravey Remix).” When I think about the track, I realized that Bayonetta really has been an incredibly collaborative project, from our cutscene action director Yuji Shimomura’s involvement and on down the line. Continuing on, I have to mention the Scarborough Fair model that will come as a pre-order bonus for Bayonetta in Europe. At first, I wanted them to make a full set of the four guns, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme, or if they could only make one, to include a set of the four dangling accessories to be attached; however, due to a variety of reasons, including cost, we could only make one gun... It is a shame that we couldn’t make four, but I am still happy to see one of the in-game items come to life. Check it out:

The Technology of Bayonetta – Effects

PlatinumGames — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:51:30 +0000

Hi everyone. Kenji Saito here once again. For this entry, I wanted to talk a little bit about the effects engine in Bayonetta. Our effects designer, Kudo-san, wrote about effects in his previous blog post, but what you probably didn’t know was that the tools he used to create these effects were actually developed in-house. Moreover, these effects can be created from while manipulating the game in real-time. It’s a little hard to explain with words, so please take a look at a real-world example of what I mean. [wpvideo w=500 pLBb44Ov] This video shows creating special effects as we control the character. So why did we create an environment for real-time effects creation? At PlatinumGames, we use a “crash and build” development style, so things are often changing in the design. To match up with that style, as well as to match with the effect designer’s request that we have an environment where they can quickly check the effects they create, we set-up the in-game effects creation engine. This allowed us to give the effects designers the ability to go about their work in a final game scene-like environment, which in turn allowed them to create high-quality effects in a very productive manner.
