What Just Happened?
In a turn of events that can only be described as shockingly rude, Platinum Games has stripped its website of most game listings, effectively erasing any trace of the ambitious Project GG. If you thought you were clicking your way to nostalgia, think again! Instead of a nostalgic trip through the glory days of games past, you’re met with a barren landscape that screams, “Ask Platinum about Platinum”—and trust us, Hideo Kojima had nothing to do with this.
The Vanishing Act
Once boasting an impressive catalog of 22 game releases since its founding in 2006, the site now only shows eight—instead of listing titles beloved by many like Babylon’s Fall or the now-abandoned Project GG. It’s like being promised a buffet and then discovering they only serve eight appetizers. Way to leave us hungry!
The Disappearing Hero
Project GG was supposed to be Platinum’s grand entrance into self-publishing—a superhero game with a storyline that had us dreaming of kaiju battles and ultraman-style transformations. Instead, we’re left staring at a digital ghost. Even Hideki Kamiya, the co-founder who announced it, seems to have vaporized from the project’s radar—seriously, did someone deploy a kaiju?
As we mourn the disappearance of games that could have been, the sentiment is clear: it’s hard not to feel extremely insulted by this lack of communication. Let’s hope Platinum Games decides to give us some life signs soon—or at least a decent explanation. Until then, we’re left clutching onto the hope of what could have been.
