Company Overview:
Osaka, Japan-based independent video game developer.

This Facebook page is a window into the world at PlatinumGames, and is home to posts from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, Devil May Cry/Okami creator Hideki Kamiya, Okami producer Atsushi Inaba, and many more of the world's most talented game developers. Many of these posts come from our Japanese blog, but you'll find original content here as well.
Mission:
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.

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

Hi, i just want to confirm if Masami Ueda (Music Composer) is working on any of Platinum games titles? Because Masami Ueda worked on all of Hideki Kamiya titles and I also heard a rumor that he is working on Bayonetta, is that true?

I spent an entire week playing this game, rolling my game timer up to almost 40 hours. And now that I've beaten it, I'm doing it all over again. I just can't pull myself away from it...But I don't really want to pull away anyway.

Epic quest, check. Amazing visual style (so nice, that it looks better than most 360/PS3 games), check. Charming and excellent story, check. Excellent characters that posses character, check. Innovative game mechanics, check. Every ingredient necessary to make an excellent game. The game puts Robert Eberts in his place and proves that games are indeed an art form. It's one of those games that's like an excellent book, you never want it to end. Easily the best game of 2006, and further proof as to why Hideki Kamiya and PlatinumGames rules.
