Astral Chain is a bit special, as you'll know from our glowing 9/10 review. It's PlatinumGames at its finest, offering thrilling combat, superb visuals and a nice mixture of gameplay styles – and it's exclusive to Switch.
However, such a fact doesn't seem to have stopped people asking for the game to come to PS4 (in fact, some believe the lack of a Sony version is why it's currently getting review-bombed on Metacritic).
PlatinumGames co-founder and notoriously testy industry legend Hideki Kamiya – who served as supervisor on the game – has answered back to requests for Astral Chain to come to Sony's console (as translated by Jack of All Controllers):
Well… it would be great to have Mario, Zelda, and Metroid on the PS4 too… As for me, do I hate PlayStation…? I’m just a developer fulfilling my contractual obligations so I don’t know, maybe you can try asking my publisher and investor Nintendo?
It probably won't come as a massive shock to learn that this isn't the first time Kamiya has had to endure such ill-advised pleas. Back in 2014, he had to put up with people asking for Bayonetta 2 – a Nintendo-funded sequel to the multi-format original – to come to other consoles. No wonder he blocks so many people on Twitter.

Yeah sure, why not? Here's the keys to my house and my first born child too while you're at it.
Gran Turismo on Switch! 😂🤣
Does anyone else remember the smear campaign Sony fans put together for Bayonetta 2?
There were guides on YouTube telling people to buy ONLY second hand Wii Us and second hand copies of the game so that Nintendo saw no money from their playthroughs.
How dare that evil company! Funding the game that Sony and Microsoft refused to! #boycott
And we won't get God of War or Spiderman on Switch either. Big deal.
Get a Switch or get over it.
I heart twitter, it brings the best out of people and humanity in general. Good god what would we do without it?!
Kamiya certainly does have a... straight-forward way with words that you wouldn't expect out of a game developer. It's kind of refreshing in small doses.
@Quarth And if they want a Platinum exclusive on their system they should whine to Sony for them to finance a Platinum project... it doesn’t help to whine to Platinum or Nintendo.
don't mind getting a neir automata port next gen, been enjoying the discounts being late to the party
I love Platinum and Clover Studio games but say if I wasn’t interested, I’d still get the game just for Kamiya’s comments alone.
But there are tons of games on XBox and PS4 that I’d love to play but can’t, I dont complain about it though. That’s one of the unique selling points for a console, it’s unique IP. Consoles must always have unique IP to attract potential customers.
Oh, how they laughed at people asking for P5 on switch ...
To think about it a mario or zelda would look nice on the PS4 but I don't know how well it would play on the go;)
Some days I'm really embarassed to be a gamer.
@SegaBlueSky Why? Unless you too are review bombing, you don’t have to be embarrassed for others actions.
Sure. And while we are at it why not port Spiderman, God of War, Persona 5, Bloodborne and many other PS exclusive games to Switch?
@Mr_Muscle There's a lot of it going around these days and I do feel that the toxic element of the community can sometimes reflect on the wider community.
I can understand why people want a PS4 port of Astral Chain but it's a complete waste of time asking for it, even more so when the person they're asking is Kamiya.
It's a 10/10 all the way from me. A truly special game that's unlike anything I've ever played before. I'm a huge fan of Bayonetta 2 but for me, AC is on another level. Can Bayonetta 3 take things to an even higher level? I'm not so sure but it's Platinum so it's certainly possible.
Port begging??! Wow, not like Nintendo "fans" don't do that on the daily lol *ahem Persona 5 ... also, do people really put that much into Metacritic? Gamers really can be so very toxic these days.
Now that's lovely! Al hail Hideki Kamiya! 💖
While I do understand a bit if salt regarding Bayonetta 2 at the time, since the first game was multiplatform. (But as we know, Nintendo funded it and made it happen).
What I don't get is the fact that this game was announced in a NINTENDO DIRECT as a Switch exclusive and people are still mad. The other platforms have Nier, DMC5, MGR, and those aren't on Nintendo, but it's never enough is it? Yeah I'd like to have some of them PS4 games, but I'm not complaining. If you can keep Persona, we can keep this. Enough said.
@popey1980 to be fair, that's about the only PlayStstion exclusive title I see people asking to come to Switch
The Last of Us is a PS3 game, it can easily run on Switch. Why didn't Sony ported it to Switch?
I mean seriously, no one is going to buy that game on Playstation any more, why not just port it to Switch and earn some money? At least MS is smart in this respect, selling Ori and Cupheads.
@mist wow what a great story mark
Why don’t you port a game that was founded, published and its ip is owned by Nintendo
I see so they are review bombing it cause its not on there console of choice. So they do like the game but cause they can't buy it there being like three year olds one word pathetic.
@popey1980 Joker in Smash is likely the main reason for any Persona 5 port begging. I've seen people say a lot that they believe if a Smash fighter's game isn't on a Nintendo console, they don't belong in Smash. They were the same way about Cloud back in the 3DS/Wii U era though of course FFVII is now on a Nintendo console (Switch in March 2019).
How bout bloodborn on Switch
Wonder if this affects the games financial bonuses like how Bethesda has meta critic review bonuses for overall score.
I still can't buy super Metroid for the switch or gba games for the 3ds.
They should buy a Switch then. They keep telling people to buy a PS4 whenever someone wants a game ported to Switch after all.
@Coach_A imagine caring that much about Bayonetta
@SegaBlueSky Ah, you mean when people judge each other for being a part of a group, instead of judging the individual on their own merits and actions. It happens. I’ve been training martial arts for 18 years, and I met a lady once that told me I must like violence when I told her I enjoyed training. Of course, that’s silly, as I prefer conflict resolution over just hurting someone, but she was unable to wrap her mind around that. That being said, these sorts of things say more about the people judging you than it does about you. As long as you’re nice, you don’t have to worry about it.
Seems weird to me that PS4 people are complaining about it, since they are usually the first ones to bring up exclusives as a selling point for their machine.
So they want the cake and eat it too?
And I'd rather see the game being released on PC then any other console. Can wait until the switch is old gen, but for historic purpose PC is the best platform since it'll never go away as the consoles do. (meaning once a console stops being manufactured and your old one breaks then you're boned if you want to play a game for it).
If people are so mad then they should go and complain to Sony, Microsoft and all the third party publishers that back in the day refused to publish Bayo2.
It's their fault if Platinum and Nintendo started to develop such a wonderful exclusive bond (pun intended~).
I won’t rest until I get my Big Mac at Burger King.
Isnt this somewhat just feeding the same drama though. How many people have posted bad reviews for this reason, a few thousand? How many people own a PS4. Perhaps its young people who's parents can only get them the one console. I recall having silly playground arguments about the Megadrive vs. the SNES in the early 90s and before that, the C64 vs. the Spectrum. I suppose these days, the internet is the playground.
@Gelantious People can still readily purchase old consoles and even old PCs. Something that breaks can be replaced, even now.
I don't think he understands how exclusives work
Just buy the Switch already, it's going to stay around for much longer than PS4 anyway. People may say that they won't be buying a system for one game, but the pile of those games is already so big that not owning a Switch can be perceived as a severe hit for anyone genuinely loving video games.
Personally, I'm perfectly fine with owning just a single platform because I don't even have enough time to play everything on Switch I wanted, let alone games on other systems.
For the people being babies about it.buy a switch problem solved. I have a switch went and bought a ps4 for exclusive games.problem sovled
@Wavey84 Hahaha my wording was a little off I’m married to my wallet, can’t afford multiple machines
@Preposterous its like i hear myself talking.
Really am short on time to play all these games, and still rounding up finishing my 3ds games.
@nintendolie Sony must not like money or gamers.
I imagine it's only bratty kids that can only afford things that their parents buy them that are complaining. surely hard working adults don't have this problem and buy both consoles?
This article is another perfect example of fake news. PlayStation owners could care less about the severely underpowered Nintendo Switch.
Maybe Nintendo should just make it official. As almost every original ip that platinum owns was released exclusively on the switch.
Don't let them slip away like rare did^^
@Trickson Have you made an account half an hour ago just to damage control on this topic? People complaining about exclusives have been a thing for a very long time.
I hope everyone asking for Switch games to come to PS4 will show the same fervour in demanding PS5 games to be available on PS4.
@Mr_Muscle
Right, you'll buy a used console, it breaks within a month, no warranty. You buy another, and another and so on...
OR, just use a PC which can play everything, no matter how old it is. Thanks to virtualization you can run everything on a modern PC. And then there's gog.com which updates old games so you can skip the virtualization step even.
Don't get me wrong, I love consoles and collect as much as the next person. But logically the PC is and will always be superior both in power and backwards compatibility. So would prefer to see the console makers embrace that, rather then trying to ignore it and then have their old games/systems end up being emulated/pirated.
Port Beggers!!
@Trickson That's a bit of a generalisation to make and certainly more fake than the news you're claiming to be fake. Most people don't value power above everything and just want to play great games and Astral Chain is a bloody great game, one of the best of the generation in my opinion. There are many in this very comment section who own both a PS4 and Switch, with some preferring Switch over the PS4 and others preferring PS4. I imagine there will be many over at Push Square who only own a PS4 but would love to have Astral Chain on their console jsut as there are some here who only have a Switch but would love to have say Nier Automata. A great game is a great game and gamers like to play great games, unless they're of a certain type, you know the type who pretend to speak for every Playstation owner and leave childish comments on Nintendo sites as they believe every non-Playstation game is garbage.
@Gelantious Not sure where you’re buying used consoles, but I bought all my legacy consoles over the last ten years and none of them are malfunctioning. PCs and their components have the possibility of breaking too, yet there are people still buying parts from ten or twenty years ago and building legacy computers and they work. I’m not sure what you’re arguing here. Yes, stuff breaks, but I don’t think it’s as fragile as you say.
@Quarth And Nintendo enthusiasts didn't organize review bombing for either. It's just something we accept.
@Trickson If there are actual review bombs on metacritic, how is this news fake?
@OorWullie While I’m sure you and many others like Astral Chain and Nier Automata, keep in mind that tastes vary greatly from person to person. To me, a great game is something like Dark Souls or Mega Man or Final Fantasy 3, but even those games that are popular, have people that don’t enjoy them. My best friend in high school couldn’t wrap his head around why I gushed about Mega Man X so much; he hated it. He would rather play an NFL game instead, which I thought was boring. It’s just taste and preference. Sales figures don’t matter, popularity doesn’t matter. All that matters is if you, the individual, enjoys the game.
@Wavey84 There actually is some gyro controls. I just noticed them last night. When you hold down L to do a Legion slash or whatever it's called, you can fine tune your aim with motion. It's very minimal and so far the only move I've unlocked that uses it but it's there. No HD Rumble is definitely disappointing though.
Yes, why wouldn't Nintendo let Platinum port their exclusive games? When you know, Nintendo helped fund their projects when they were going under?
@Mr_Muscle Oh for sure, I can't stand Mega Man despite platformers being one of my favourite genres. I've tried so hard to get into it over the years and even bought one of the collections on Switch but nope, I just don't like it.
@Preposterous Considering that people still buy original NES and Atari systems, I’m not sure I understand why you are saying that one should buy a Switch because a PS4 isn’t going to be around much longer? What are you actually trying to say, here?
@eltomo It worked for Dark Souls on PC! There was even a petition!
@Mr_Muscle I meant that if someone is being anxious about getting a Switch while already owning a PS4, there is no need to because Nintendo's system is going to see support for a longer time than PS4.
I don't get what ancient systems have to do with the topic at hand.
Lol humans these days
Remind me of when people were port begging for Persona 5 on Switch :v
Also Nintendo put their games on CD-i, so its not IMPOSSIBLE but highly unlikely.
@Barbara001 No
@Swindla i just said i can hardly find the time. That i can take the Switch with me to work is a real benefit but i play a lot less videogames then back then when i was younger in general. Even if i dont have anything to do.
Never mind having a PS4 too, i would love to but its really a waste of money because of time. I also take much more value out of a game now before buying a sequel.
@Preposterous I was seeking clarification to your poorly-worded comment. The reason I’m bringing up older consoles is because you are talking about longevity lol.
@Darkyoshi98 lol Not everyone has disposable income.
@Trickson Ah, so you DO like the Switch... Good boy...
(hint: it's couldn't care less, NOT could care less)
Would be very refreshing to me if someone like Masuda took the reins and let some of the “fans” have a sharp piece of his mind as well.
I love his response, lol
@Mr_Muscle does anyone not know how to save anymore???thats how i got mine was by saving.and when i had enough saved i went and bought one.lol just saying i didnt take it straight outta my pocket i saved lol
I love that response haha. So glad I changed my mind and supported this game now instead of later. I just finished Control so I'm only about an hour in on this game but so far so good. I can't believe I'm playing such a gorgeous looking game in handheld mode. Too bad it doesn't support local wireless play with a friend playing as the brother/sister. Because if it did, I would buy another copy.
@BarefootBowser I literally read that as "You can't use Assassin's Creed for Astral Chain", so I totally understand what you mean. 😂
I certainly can’t blame anyone for wanting this game on the console they own, but becoming whiny and entitled when it doesn’t happen is another story, let alone “review bombing” a game you’ve never played. That said, I hate the term “port begging,” especially when it’s used in a derogatory way to refer to someone who simply wishes to play a game on a console they own. Hoping for ports and discussing those hopes are harmless. Some people get way too offended by wishful thinking.
"I’m just a developer fulfilling my contractual obligations so I don’t know, maybe you can try asking my publisher and investor"
Studios should just copy paste this every time entitled gamers thinks every game needs to satisfy their "preferred console" nonsense.
"This Studio hates PS4"... "That one hates the Switch". Whine, whine, ... "don't want me money".... whine... "who needs them"... whine... (random reason why game they never played sucks here)
They do not care either way - they fulfilled a business request.
Social media is cancer. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Reddit are full of nothing but demands, insults and arguments. I pity the fact that many people are forced into using them because business these days all but demands it. Only on sites like this, with relatively smaller communities do I still remain active. Yes, NintendoLife is the closest thing to social media I still actively use.
I use Discord a bit, but that's more an instant messenger than social media.
@popey1980 Difference being I don't think people have been review bombing P5.
How about Halo on the Switch, Or Minecraft, or CupHeads. or...wait..
I don’t see a problem with port begging. Seems as though we’re assuming those begging for Astral Chain are the very same people laughing at Switch owners asking for Persona. That might be the case, but it might not be.
I don’t necessarily think that companies should comply with port begging, especially if there is some funding/investing going on. I do believe that people nagging on port beggars and laughing at them help perpetuate console wars in the first place.
I think Kamiya handled it well.
They should ask their moms.
Lol, go Kamiya. Gamers act like they are physically incapable of buying a system. You want games buy them on the system they are on. Nintendo has been paying for exclusive games for a bit. This isn’t new. If it was a multi plat that skipped ps4 I’d get it but this is an exclusive. Spiderman isn’t going to Switch either.
then why the ps4 guys arent just buying a switch lol?
Isn't Bloodborne still a PS4 exclusive? 3rd parties too can make exclusives, nothing new here.
@Quarth
If we can't get people to install a free launcher (Epic Store) on their PCs then how will we get them to spend at least $200 (Switch Lite) to play an exclusive title?
It's like... Nintendo hired an outside studio or two to make some exclusive games.
Provocative.
Get a switch or get over it sony fanboys...reminds me alot like marvel fanboys...flat out crybabies
Last of Us and God of War and all the TEAM ICO games on Switch too but that ain’t happening. I own a PS4 and Switch. Just buy both.
It does not hurt to buy a Switch, you will only not play on your PS4 anymore after that, probably. Maybe for some 5 min taste of graphical impressive stuff, then straight back to games that actually matter
Gotta be honest. I wish I could play DMC V on Switch, so I get the sentiment on getting Astral Chain on any other console. But with me not getting my wish, since this is not how the world works, the other people need to mature up a bit and either get a Switch, or skip that title.
Keep dreaming.
If this was an Epic situation, where a game was announced for more consoles but was either delayed on others and made exclusive, this would make sense, but that's not the case. Nintendo published the game, and own the rights to the title, it's in their power to decide where it goes. It's pretty much the same case with Bayonetta 2, people are just mad Nintendo has a cool Platinum exclusive, but again, the game wouldn't exist without them (the ownership situation is slightly different since Sega published the first, but it still counts).
PS4 gets it's own exclusives, and Switch has its, its a cool way for the systems to be different. As much as I'd LOVE to play Ratchet and Clank, Spider-Man, P5, Gravity Rush, etc. on Switch, I'm not going to complain about Sony holding them hostage when the series is either a mainstay on the console, or published by them to get people to come over.
@Xaessya Its a different reason to ask for a port or to actively review bomb.
I would still love to see a port for Prsona 5 and ask for it (why asking is belittled as begging is beyond me), but certainly I have (disappointingly) accept that its not coming.
@Preposterous I wouldn't be so sure about that.
However you contradict yourself. People that enjoy games buy both.
Yeah, let's put Super Mario Maker 2, Animal Crossing New Horizons and BotW 2 on PS4 too, even though they are Nintendo games!
@Trajan How come?
@popey1980 what other ps4 only ports other than Persona 5 did Nintendo Switch owners "beg" for? Give me a break.
@Preposterous Becuase the PS4 has many games that a gamer would want to play as well. Owning both is really the only answer.
@nintendolie you realize MS has to right? They've openly become the biggest 3rd party publisher in the industry, and it started in 2015.
Either way, exclusives are good for the industry and great for consumers. It takes about 30 seconds to realize why if you're not an entitled person. This is why it's great to be a gamer though, I own all consoles and never have to worry, unlike fanboys who beg and cry.
Where did @Trickson go? That brand of casual trolling is really enjoyable!
Funding. A new word some angry kids will hopefully have learned today.
Oof.
The salt from thirsting over this game is incredible.
When Nintendo fans wanted Persona, all we heard was "stop whining, buy a PS4". But it's like... 1 I already own one, but I'd rather have a hybrid version, 2 we never threw tantrums review bombing Persona like a child. Same goes for Nier, which has a great user review score. 3 Nobody said anything about it til it was rumored. Only afterwards did people say ya, that would be cool.
But with Astral Chain and Fire Emblem? Oh my goodness. Salt salt salt salt salt.
Stay classy, Sony fans!
Oh, I didn't know Nintendo funded this game. Even more awesome👍 I don't see why people would bitch about a game not on their platform. That's why systems used to have 'Killer apps'. It's cuz the game was so good, you'd buy the system to play it. I own all three consoles so I don't have that issue. For the people who can only afford one, I understand ... but don't go getting upset cuz another company got paid to make a game for a rival console that's awesome as hell and you can't play it! Sounds like the game is SO good.. you'd buy a Switch to play it🤔 I've heard of this type of game before. I wonder...
Go Kamiya! If you want something exclusive to a platform, the solution is simple: buy it. Be it on Xbox One, Switch, PS4, etc. It doesn't hurt to request some exclusives - formerly exclusive games have jumped to other consoles before - but do it respectfully. Not with a smear campaign that makes you look like a child throwing a tantrum.
Nintendo should just stop making consoles, they're obviously bad at it and everyone hates the Switch. It barely has any games on it, just put all the games on PS4 already, Nintendo.
...and have their games censored like crazy...
The hypocrisy is spell binding. I thought "port begging" was a bad thing...? 😂 Always find it funny how Nintendo can't have 3rd party exclusives but it's totally fine when games like Bloodborne, Street Fighter V and Persona are PS4 exclusive or in SFV's case just PS4 and PC.
yo SONY fans... how about fair trade?
VITA's forgotten games for Switch?
I suppose if he likes seeing his work on a inferior piece of hardware and not run at its best, that is fair enough. As a designer, he is lying to himself if he is ok with it not running at its full potential with increased resolution and more importantly better and more stable FPS, be it PS4Pro, Xbox One X or PC.
@joezilla83 was actually only referring to the daily begging of P5, hence why I mentioned P5 specifically, give me a break indeed.
@Trajan Never said that I'm a gamer, though. I like video games, but have other hobbies and things to attend to.
I've briefly considered a PS4 a few years ago, but if there's one thing that will ever make me drop video games altogether, it would be games as service business model, pushed by the likes of Sony.
People who only buys one console baffles me... though to be honest I play Switch more than anything else. My ps4 is currently only being used to play Marvel movies, and has been like that for a few months
These people can choose to spend their time in front of their computers and spam negative reviews... or they could get a job and buy a Switch.
@Preposterous if you're commenting on a video game website, you're a gamer. I hope everyone has hobbies other than playing video games though.
Sony isn't pushing games as a service. I can't think of any game they make that has that business model.
Unless you're talking about PSN, which Nintendo has copied but instead of giving you current gen games they give you 30 year old ROMs.
@JudaiMasters
Well to be fair, they'd really have no say in what's done with Persona.
Sure, there is a high demand for Astral Chain for PS4, it's a great game after all
but-and I mean a big BUT-
what about the great games that are PS4 exclusive and are NEVER going to come to the Nintendo Switch? So if that's the case why can't there be Nintendo Switch exclusive games as well? The same way you have to buy a PS4 or XBox to play games exclusive to those consoles, go by a Nintendo Switch to play Nintendo Switch exclusive games. I'm not be unreasonable- I'm being Factual.
As for me, I always loved- and still love- Portable Gaming Consoles. I never owned a PS4 or XBox and have no regrets neither no plans in ever getting them. Portable Gaming All-The-Way!!! ^.^
Killzone 2 and/or 3 from Sony would be Awesome on the Switch to help with our lack of online shooters lol. We have Paladins, Fortnite, Doom, Warframe, Payday and the rest are meh.
How about they release PS4 exclusives on the Switch 1st
@Trajan "if you're commenting on a video game website, you're a gamer." - if you want to use the term in a broad sense, then merely tapping on your phone's screen in the rythm of whatever free app you have downloaded constitutes as gaming, and the original post was about people "loving", i.e. being very passionate about, video games.
Yes, I meant PSN and no, for better or worse, Switch's online service is not even close.
You may also want to check the relationship between Sony and a little thing called Fate Grand/Order, a dream come true for video game companies not interested in making actual video games.
All the bad practices by Nintendo were forced by consumers used to bad practices by other companies.
@Preposterous People who aren't passionate about something usually aren't involved in online forums about them unless they run into a problem.
PSN is better than Switch online. Both services you are paying to use online, and you get free games every month. Sony offers voice chat, parties, messaging, and current gen games. Nintendo has use your own internet and free NES and probably soon SNES ROMs. They both have cloud saves, but Nintendo's is limited on games, and Sony allows local save state backups (via USB).
I googled that game. Apparently it is made by Sega? I also googled it with Sony and some website said it made as much a 50 million $60 games. Damn. You do know that Nintendo has mobile games too though right?
Nintendo isn't your friend. They are a company trying to make money. No one forced them to do things you are personally against.
I should also add that the mobile market is where a lot of those Wii and DS casuals went to.
@popey1980
The difference though seems to be that we're much quicker to call out, belittle & attempt to shame Nintendo fans for "port begging" while we gloss over, make excuses for or deflect (like now) when it comes to sony fanboys doing it. Another thing is that they don't seem to be quite as arrogant, entitled or (apparently) stupid as some of those fanboys given that you never saw a ground swell of Nintendo fans asking for say a god of war or getting all up in arms about bloodborne coming to their system.
You bring up Persona 5, but that isn't sony's game. It's not even funded by them. It's just exclusive because the company decided to keep it so. So what in the world would be the problem with asking for a game that's 3rd party made to do something that 3rd party games do? Yet they want games that are funded by Nintendo or straight up Nintendo IP's on their system. And then when they can't get them, they get salty & do crap like review bomb the games
Much bigger difference and not even too comparable. When you see a huge outcry from Nintendo fanboys for games like bloodbourne & uncharted, then maybe we'll be closer to equal footing and we can talk.
@Jedi_jem
Yeah, pretty much. And considering it's just a regular 3rd party game I don't see the harm. As at that point it's up to the company to if they want to put persona elsewhere.
@Manah
Facts. Funny how that logic only applies or seems right to them when they want to be a shill and donating their time to help sony sell product lol.
@OorWullie
Well said & perfect example right here. I certainly prefer my Switch (even my Xbox1X) to my ps4 for sure. Yet I don't go venturing to ps4 sites or message boards to hate or run pr & shill for either of them like some of the gutter balls here do for sony. I just play what I like, and leave the rest alone. It isn't like my ps4 is going to shed a tear because I don't boot it up for a few months or whatever. It's an inanimate object and it here to give me joy, not the other way around.
@Rohanrocks88
Not close to a fair enough trade. At least throw in a resistance & infamous to make it a more even trade.😉
How about we let them have it like a year later, like a bunch of other games that come to switch lol.
I like this guy
@rxchrisg I mean to be fair, Bayonetta 2 was a pretty good game, so I can imagine the salt. Some still haven't recovered from rise of the tomb raider and that was only for 1 year. Nevermind the fact they have street fighter 5 even if it is/was bad.
@Rohanrocks88 That's a level of chaos I'd fully support right there.
Hahahahahah😂🤪😂
Thats like baking a nice pie, showing it to the haters and then throw it in their face.
Good answer.
This is why i love the switch, (the games)
Are people not familiar with the concept of console exclusives or something?
Now we know which gamers left all the bad reviews.
@SegaBlueSky you should never be embarrassed to be a gamer. That's a very questionable mentality you have there.
@MBII If you say so, chief.
@Mr_Muscle That's all fine in theory, but in certain situations I personally don't think it's helpful to ignore the situation around you just because you've got your own house in order.
(in fact, some believe the lack of a Sony version is why it's currently getting review-bombed on Metacritic).
What a typically chicken-livered, fence-sitting way of alluding to the problem whilst simultaneously evading it.
Spineless reporting, as per.
@Coach_A I boycott japanese games on PS4. Smear campain from Sony always target japanese videogames on non-Sony consoles while Sony hugely favor their western blockbusters. It's time to make it stop. Sony's behavior is hurting the japanese videogames industry.
@Preposterous The vast majority of Sony exclusives are single player games. None of them are a games as a service title. You used that phrase, but I don't think it means what you think it means.
If we're doing this then I demand Vanquish and Vanquish 2: The Gideon Switch on Nintendo Switch! These demands should be easier to meet since Platinum Games made the original for PS4, give me Vanquish and sole rights to the sequel Gideon Switch (I came up with that) and sure, you can borrow my switch and play Astral Chain 😊
@Wavey84 It has motion controls when using the arrow legion to manually aim and use focus. I find it ironic that all the idiots that still call every Nintendo hardware 'kiddie', proceed to then act like children when it has something they want. These people have 2 choices,buy a Switch or shut up whining
But Sony fans are supposed to get everything they want! It's Nintendo fans who miss out! 😒
Video games make people violent facist misogynists
@Shigura I hope you're being sarcastic...🤣
@Quarth people are so stingy, especially with upcoming switch lite and ps5. You can get older models for cheaper. This is differently from switch not having wiiware and the like as that I believe is shut down. Would like to play that excitebike remake one day, especially 4 players.
@PlayedNSlayed lol or wait for a clone lol im hyped for genshin impact. Nice manga art, fun page. Who cares if it rips off breath of the wild but someone destroyed their PS4.
Joker: If I were to tell you licks lips, that like, Sony would get Persona 5 without spending a dime, or would pay studios to make exclusive games for them: Nobody panics. Because it's all "according to plan".
But Platinum tells everyone Nintendo paid for one measley little exclusive...AND EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS!!!!
@jbreez00 I have PS4 Street Fighter V and it’s great. Never understood the hate.
And I’m sure bayonetta 2 is fine,I’ll probably buy it used sometime,but come on,who cares enough about sexy witch cleavage that they’re going to start writing false reviews to “get back at” the company who denied them said sexy witch cleavage?
@Lordplops hahaha
@mist To be fair, they've always been, the Internet just brings a "new" kind of strangeness.
@CrimsonMoonMist I think he's one of my favorites in that regard, praise be to lord Kamiya.
@Mr_Muscle You're right, I don't get the dislikes on your comment at all, lmao.
@nintendolie That could be an argument, but yeah it's kinda weird if you think about it, Nintendo could port and sell New Super Mario Bros. Wii on the PS4, I mean it's old enough, it's not going to get any more copies sold, maybe it's not weird, but well we all know this is never going to happen either way lol.
But on the other hand you would be losing the exclusivity that makes a console worth buying (surely I don't buy a Nintendo Console for their amazing controllers lol), yeah sure it's an old game but they could always make a remake or make it playable 20 years in the future with a "Wii Virtual Console".
Whatever I'm just babbling, I don't know jackshit about marketing after all.
@Wavey84 I don't know about resolution or framerate, but you do realize the Switch has gyro controls too right? Lol
I've got no idea, but if I had to guess, this game runs at 60 fps (why am I so certain?), simple it's an action game, and if you watched the trailers you would know too that it runs at smooth 720p60 minimum, we're in 2019, stop acting like Nintendo Switch hardware sucks and stuff jesus christ, games used to run at 60 fps since the SNES idiot.
And don't go call me a Nintendo fanboy, I do have a PS3 and a gaming PC, if I want performance and graphics I'd easily pick a PC over any PS4 Pro, jeez.
And last time I've checked, PS4 only runs in "docked" mode.
@tendonerd You can't buy Super Metroid, but you can play it if you have Nintendo Switch Online.
@Gelantious Well to be fair that could apply even to PCs too, except you need an emulator or a Virtual Machine, sure PC is a much easier platform to "preserve" literally any kind of stuff, but well you can run an emulator on a console too these days.
@Gelantious Yeah because old PC games don't get emulated / pirated at all lol.
@Xaessya Which ended up in horrible IP snatches such as Hotel Mario and CDi Link lol, I don't remember the CDi having ports of Nintendo games other than these... well "games".
@ReaperExTenebris I assume the limit is 2,147,483,647 if Twitter uses an integer.
That’s a huge slap in the face to Sony.
Kamiya’s basically saying, “Working for commissions only” and Sony’s cheap AF.
@rxchrisg It's not actually about Bayonetta though, if platinum and Microsoft had actually gotten scalebound out and it was good, instead of trying to clown Microsoft with the no games thing (as I'm told it's because all their games are on PC which Sony is looking like they'll also be doing in the future), they'd have review bombed that as well because they're childish as hell.
Basically these people just want every game ever made to be on the Playstation, but not any of the 3rd party titles only on the Playstation to be available anywhere else so they'll make their feelings known.
@jbreez00 you know. These PS4 owners think since Bayonetta is on PS4, Bayonetta 2 and other platinum games will come.
But the thing here is that Bayonetta 1 was published by Sega so ofc it will appear on other platforms BUT Bayonetta 2, Astral Chain, and Bayonetta 3 are published by NINTENDO so therefore it wouldn't come to other platforms
