(We were unable to get rights clearances for a few of them…) Japanese gamers will get a chance to see art that we’ve only released in the West (which there were quite a few we made behind the scenes), as well as peeks at unreleased character, enemy, background, and weapon designs. There will also be CG illustrations and some new easter-egg illustrations (that I’m working on right now) amongst others. Overall, there will be more than 500 pieces of content to sink your teeth into! There will also be tons of comments from the development team (which they are working on now) to round out this monster collection! Look forward to it! Whenever I end up working on one of these expansive books, I always end up feeling like, “This is sad. I have to show off all of these designs that got shot down… And they are from years ago as well.” Even though I love looking at others people’s stuff… this poses a real dilemna for me. Well, enough of my grumbling, I’m going to stay focused on working on the book for now, and even though it will be a while until it is in your hands, I hope you all look forward to it. Well, I guess the world is all wrapped up in Christmas colors now. How did you all spend the Christmas holidays? December 25 was actually our last work day here at PlatinumGames, but I am sure plenty of us went out drinking after we wrapped up. Until next time. ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/07/announcing-a-bit-early-a-collection-of-bayonetta-design-artifacts/feed/ 14 shimakom b_illust_Xmas http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/06/nygreeting/ http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/06/nygreeting/#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:17:53 +0000 Yusuke Hashimoto http://platinumgames.com/?p=2236 I decided to draw Bayonetta on a New Year’s Card. The more I drew, the more I was surprised by how detailed the design was becoming, and even though it was too late, ended up saying “Wow, this is how this turned out...” Today also marks the start of Bayonetta’s worldwide release! I am happy to see her spread her wings and fly overseas, and I really hope that everyone let’s go of time and has fun while playing the game. So I hope that this year you all support Bayonetta, and continuing supporting us here at PlatinumGames.]]> http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/06/nygreeting/feed/ 14 yhashimoto bayonetta2010 http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/04/bayonetta-tv-commercial/ http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/04/bayonetta-tv-commercial/#comments Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:57:26 +0000 Yusuke Hashimoto http://platinumgames.com/?p=2227 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2010/01/04/bayonetta-tv-commercial/feed/ 18 yhashimoto BNCE_ArrayMockup3D joy00 joy01 g Bayonetta Demo Trailer Hi http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/20/user-interface-design/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/20/user-interface-design/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:47:34 +0000 PlatinumGames http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/?p=2026 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/20/user-interface-design/feed/ 10 platinumgames それぞれのID画面1 それぞれのID画面2 http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/06/bayonetta-released-in-japan/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/06/bayonetta-released-in-japan/#comments Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:34:47 +0000 Yusuke Hashimoto http://platinumgames.wordpress.com/?p=1990 action game of the highest caliber,” and it became a bit of an ultimate title for us, containing everything we are capable of in one package. Put another way, it was a “challenge to ourselves” having been previously involved in numerous action games. We founded a new studio, and had to start everything completely from scratch, but during production we always felt the fun of making games, and the fun that can be had from making games. Since we felt that way, I think we were able to fully exploit our know how to the very limits, and run full steam ahead. Completing Bayonetta was, I feel, and incredibly important step for PlatinumGames as a studio. Games are entertainment that allow you to forget about time and just have fun. I’ve taken many things through this hobby we call gaming, so I really hope that even just a little piece of Bayonetta stays with all those people who pick up a controller and play the game, as if there was something to learn from the experience. Bayonetta development as a multiplatform title was filled with many experiences, but all I ever felt was “the desire to have as many people to enjoy Bayonetta as possible.” I’m taking them all as lessons myself, and in turn using them as motivation to make something even better in the future, so I would appreciate all of your support. And if you have played Bayonetta and have opinions, feelings, or even hopes for a sequel (?), please send them my way.]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/11/06/bayonetta-released-in-japan/feed/ 25 yhashimoto 画像① 画像② http://platinumgames.com/2009/07/30/easy-automatic-im-easy-youre-automatic/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/07/30/easy-automatic-im-easy-youre-automatic/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:36:00 +0000 Yusuke Hashimoto http://platinumgames.com/?p=1655 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/07/30/easy-automatic-im-easy-youre-automatic/feed/ 10 yhashimoto 1_Grace&Glory00 2_Grace&Glory01 3_Fearless http://platinumgames.com/2009/05/15/of-angels-and-demons/ http://platinumgames.com/2009/05/15/of-angels-and-demons/#comments Fri, 15 May 2009 01:39:58 +0000 Yusuke Hashimoto http://platinumgames.com/?p=1365 ]]> http://platinumgames.com/2009/05/15/of-angels-and-demons/feed/ 14 yhashimoto 1_Affinity00 Affinity Design 3_Fortitudo
