Spot Dodge Podcast discusses PlatinumVideo games and Plague Tale Requiem!

Welcome again! It is a brand new Tuesday, which suggests tonight there will likely be a brand new episode of Spot Dodge: A Live Nintendo Podcast solely on Destructoid. Topics: The crew discusses the current controversy relating to PlatinumVideo games’ “insulting” pay supply of $4,000 USD to veteran Bayonetta voice actress Hellena Taylor for the third installment. Brett M and Brett L additionally share their ideas on A Plague Tale: Requiem. Spoilers: It’s among the finest video games of the 12 months.

There’s lots of lacking data relating to Hellena Taylor and her current trending Twitter movies calling on followers to boycott Bayonetta 3. With that mentioned, Jason Schreier’s report from earlier at present paints the scenario in a completely totally different gentle. Either manner, we don’t know all of the information and it’s very doubtless PlatinumVideo games won’t ever make an announcement. If the low supply of $4,000 is in actual fact legitimate, that’s only one thing more added to the pile of weirdness occurring with Platinum currently.

PlatinumVideo games has had an odd few years. From making a Kickstarter for the already-completed recreation Wonderful 101 (which ended up being profitable) to the very flagrant and open statements about being acquired or desirous to convey again Scalebound. Not solely that, however the firm put out certainly one of this 12 months’s worst-reviewed video games Babylon’s Fall (which has already been shut down). Now, this Hellena Taylor controversy is simply extra indicators that issues aren’t going too effectively at Platinum. Although I’d like to be unsuitable.

PlatinumVideo games has launched lots of titles that many contemplate masterpieces. So it’s a rattling disgrace to see this a lot controversy surrounding a studio with a lot nice expertise. Hideki Kamiya’s unorthodox Twitter happenings don’t assist the corporate’s already-crumbling picture both.
