While Platinum Games no longer work with SEGA on a publishing level, the studio is undoubtedly important to SEGA’s recent efforts with games like Vanquish, Bayonetta, MadWorld and Anarchy Reigns to their name.
In this 2013 showreel, Platinum Games show what they have in store for us this year. Remember that SEGA serve as advisor on Bayonetta 2 due to them owning the rights to the franchise:
Does the inclusion of Bayonetta 2 in this 2013 showreel mean we can expect the game to be released this year? Only time will tell!

Ron Gilbert’s new adventure game for XBLA, PSN and Steam is looking rather lovely, isn’t it? There’s more footage of the game in the new character trailer below; check it out:
A new version of the leaked Streets of Rage reimagining footage has been uploaded which now includes sound. The prototype footage features a playable game and is not pre-rendered.
Ruffian Games business and management chief Gary Liddon (who also uploaded this new video) has also revealed more about the game:
“It was something we built very rapidly and represents pre-pre-pre-pre (lots of pres) pre-Alpha quality. Even so it has a certain charm 🙂 What’s the story behind it all? Like a lot of developers we work on a lot of different prototypes, they’re just not usually shown in public. In this case an older version of the same video was leaked last week which came as a bit of a surprise if I’m honest. As it had no sound I thought there wouldn’t be any harm sharing a version with audio. Beyond that there’s not a lot more I can say unfortunately :)”
Sean Noonan has also chimed in to answer a question about why the game was cancelled. His response: “I don’t really have a solid answer to that :(”
Check out this stunning leaked footage of a proposed Streets of Rage “reimagining” that would have been developed by Ruffian Games. Am I gutted this got cancelled:
