Damn 30fps. And that comment at Kinda Funny is indeed weird.

Just watched this, so disappointing. I generally adore Platinum games and after Transformers, I was so hyped for TMNT.

If Platinum ever made a He-Man or Gi Joe game, then my childhood would be complete.

As someone said in the OT you don't have that art style and not aim for 60fps. Must have been forced to get this out with the movie.

A real shame :(

Yeah, Transformers was great, I just hope that if their relationship with Activision continues, they get more time and a better budget for these things.

Their first 30 fps action game since MadWorld, right?

I get the feeling that Activision strangled them with the purse strings to get this out in time for the film.

This is unacceptable to the point where I feel like writing a letter or something to Activision/Platinum. A Ninja Turtles game from Platinum should not be... this. I realize it's low budget or whatever sorta like Transformers, but Transformers wasn't nearly this bad. They both suffer from a general lack of content and super repetitive environments. On top of this they're charging $50 for it out of the gate.

Again, unacceptable. This is total horse shit.

Man, it's a shame Platinum is going to get the blame for this and not Activision, since I'm pretty sure it was them who commissioned the project and gave it the deadline by the time the movie came out. I get the feeling they had freedom with Transformers which is why that one actually turned out to be good, unlike this and Korra.

I think most would classify that as an outright shooter, but I understand what you're getting at by lumping it in with the rest of their action output.

Send your ire to Activision. It's pretty clear they control what they want from these games.

Sounds like a lot of assumptions and reaches to make just to defend a developer making a mediocre game.

Platinum took the job probably knowing things like budget and time frame in advance.

Put the cape down and just realize this is who Platinum is.

Unfortunate. I was a little excited for this one after the Transformers game and I discovered that the current IDW comics are... kinda cool.

After seeing that one boss fight youtube in another thread. It looked boring and tedious. That doesn't sit well in my stomach.

Would've much, much rather had some Decepticon expansion DLC.

Thank you!!!

It would probably help if their 150ish person studio wouldn't take on 4-5 projects at a time.

The bolded part is important. And especially with it being their third Activision release. Platinum knows what's up.

People get too defensive about it. They need to make money somewhere, and jobs like this are probably pretty good for them.

Platinum Games output looks worse every year. I know they are doing these on the cheap, and probably for an easy paycheck, but still.

Scalebound should be good though.

Roger that, they're the ones providing it and the budget. I know Platinum can make great games.

Perhaps this has something to do with it, but it's completely unrelated to the new movie and while maybe Transformers wasn't "rushed," it was still also pretty lacking. I know the general consensus seems to be positive, but for me it was a pretty short one-off game with boring level design.

When they make a great game, they are gameplay gods, but when they churn out mediocrity it's someone else's fault. Pretty enviable position for a developer.
