Platinum Games is looking set to have a big year, generating a lot of talk with its two big Sega titles,BayonettaandMadWorld. Understanding that it might just have a shot at some Triple A releases this year, Sega isnot shy aboutbigging these games up.
Sega Europe COO & President Mike Hayes has admitted that so-called “casual” games are where the company has been most successful, but suggested that this year will see Sega reap the rewards of appealing to the “core” market.
“Madworldis so unique it aches,” boasts Hayes.“Also,Bayonettahas to be one of the best looking 360 and PS3 games on the market. Cutting-edge Japanese developed titles such as those from Platinum Games will suit the western market perfectly.”
It’s sad that most Wii owners won’t appreciate a game likeMadWorld, and especially in England,some publicly whinethat its violence “spoils” the Wii’s fun image. Still, the blood-spattered brawler has been rated by the BBFC and is coming to Britain whether people who think they know what Wii games should be like it or not.
