If they aren't into the worlds of these licensed games, & can't make a good product, they should pass (but I'm still thinking of Platinum of Mad World, Bayonetta, etc, not the Japanese Activision lite they have become). Licensed titles have a far greater chance to bring in new fans, not just the gaming fans of some niche genre, but beyond that I had hoped that a Platinum game would still have great mechanics/fundamentals regardless of the project. That's just not true anymore, unfortunately. I know I won't look at another game just because they developed it (especially those 2 products, unless scale bound is a Scorpio title, as even their released trailers couldn't hold a steady framerate & this is a company that made action games). Luster = gone, IMHO.
