Bayonetta creator and co-founder Hideki Kamiya to leave Platinum: 'Keep your eyes peeled'

With the imminent release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Sony has released the launch trailer, and it highlights the rise of a darker Peter. 

My Time at Sandrock is sequel to the fairly popular My Time at Portia, and it's looking rather promising in its latest gameplay overview trailer. As you'd expect, the video covers a broad range of topics, explaining how the title's shaping up to be an intriguing mix of role-playing, sandbox exploration, storytelling, monster-whacking combat, and building.

Two weeks after announcing his surprise exit from Platinum Games—the studio he co-founded back in the mid-2000s—Hideki Kamiya has departed in the most Hideki Kamiya way ever.

Hideki Kamiya, formerly a vice president at PlatinumGames, has launched his own YouTube channel, where he revealed that he feels “very refreshed” after resigning from the company he co-founded.

Platinum Games co-founder Hideki Kamiya announced last month he was departing from the studio. Having founded it in 2006 in Osaka, Japan, later working on games like Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101, he left his reason for leaving up in the air. He simply said, «This came after a lot of consideration based on my own beliefs» and that he feels «this outcome is for the best.» Now, just a few weeks later, Kamiya has started a YouTube channel – aptly called «Hideki Kamiya Channel» – and in his first video, he reveals he's not retiring, as first reported by VideoGamesChronicle. 

PlatinumGames’ former vice president, Hideki Kamiya, has launched a YouTube channel and said he feels “very refreshed” after quitting the company he co-founded.

Terraria freaks me out sometimes. On the surface, it’s a colorful, serene, innocent-looking game with all the warmth and gentility of a peaceful Minecraft world. Green grass. Blue skies. Just you, the outdoors, and your imagination. But then you dig, and you find yourself fighting gigantic, hideous bosses with names like Wall of Flesh, Brain of Cthulhu, and the Lunatic Cultist. It’s a deceptive, dual-natured world where the pastoral rapidly gives way to the nightmarish. After dozens of hours in Terraria, perhaps it would be nice to play something calmer. Sharing a short insight into his game-making ambitions, Terraria’s creator Andrew ‘Redigit’ Spinks says he might one day like to work on precisely that – a chilled game in the style of Clicker Heroes, Cookie Clicker, and the other idle icons.

PlatinumGames' co-founder Hideki Kamiya has told a fan to ask the studio about the current status of Project G.G. following the announcement of his departure.
