Every year, numerous games are released across a variety of genres and on various platforms, giving users the ability to suit their entertainment to their tastes. But as the games business has grown, it has also fallen into chaos.This is exactly why Platinum Games is my favorite developer this generation. They are one of the few developers who can make new and original games that aren't focusing on making cinematic experiences.
We are PlatinumGames Inc.
Today, the sheer number of games on the worldwide market is reaching stratospheric levels. But these numbers hide the fact that it has become increasingly difficult to create brand new titles. It's only natural that a company's business plan revolves around creating sequels to popular series. However, we dare to challenge users by developing new and exciting original titles with a level of quality that matches our name.
Platinum never tarnishes. It keeps its luster forever. It embodies our passion to create high quality games that will never disappoint. A passion we hope will garner praise and trust from our users.
While Western studios now stand in the limelight, we hope to bring Japanese games back to the forefront of player's minds.
PlatinumGames. Developers of games with lasting quality.
-Tatsuya Minami, President and CEO of Platinum Games
Ninja Theory used WETA Technology for their last two games, Heavenly Sword and Enslaved.“We do this to ensure that we’re bringing the true performances of our actors through into the game,” said Ninja’s Dominic Matthews.
“It’s not so much about realism but believability. Real actors – real people – move their hands and their body when they speak. We track the exact movement of our actors. We have 60 markers on their faces alone – on their eyes, their eyebrows, their mouths, their noses, their lips and so on.
“We are fortunate to have developed our own facial solver technology in house that allows us to track these movements and map them onto our models. Our technology is unique and something that we’ve been working on for several years, so we are ahead of the market in this regard.
“A hallmark of our games is the story-telling element. We want our users to become engrossed in a story; so we are not simply using the technology for technology’s sake. It really enriches the user experience and they become fully engaged.
“It was invigorating to shoot the scenes for the game in the same place as the Avatar shoot, using the same studios and much of the same crew.”

The 2011 release of Mortal Kombat was a triumphant return to the game's original mature presentation offering over-the-top fatalities and cringe-worthy X-ray moves. Going back to a 2D fighting plane, this latest iteration in the franchise introduced a number of new gameplay features including Tag Team, Challenge Tower, and a deep story mode. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game's iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several players in the innovative online King of the Hill mode.
