    Forget about Max Anarchy. Platinum Games and publisher Sega have announced that the melee-focused and online-centric brawler we talked about yesterday will go by a different name in North America: Anarchy Reigns. Sounds a little… less ridiculous, eh?

    In addition to dropping this title news this morning, Sega made a passing mention of two of the game's online modes and, in the process, might have revealed the direction Platinum Games is shooting for. Tag Team and Battle Royal modes were confirmed, leading me to believe, at least, that Platinum wants to give the game a wrestling-ish flavor. 

    Oh, and three screens are available for your viewing now, too. This is undeniably a Platinum Games joint. 

        
     Yep.
     Yep.

    Oh my god! Finally! 
     
    Visual style looks very ostentatious, let's hope the gameplay is just as ridiculous.

    Zeno Clash's brawling is really strong. I think it's just the smacking sound though, which is FANTASTIC.

    I'm starting to notice a pattern here: 

    • MadWorld
    • Bayonetta
    • Vanquish
    • Anarchy Reigns
     
    All action games of one type or another that target mature audiences with a healthy dose of ridiculous, versus:
     
    • Viewtiful Joe/Viewtiful Joe 2
    • Okami
    • God Hand
     
    Games of different styles for different audiences.
     
    As much as I like Platinum's insane action titles, it'd be nice to see more of the old Clover show up.

    From the couple of screenshots I've seen, I'm liking it's look. After Vanquish's disappointment, I'm wary though.

    But pre-Clover, they made: 
    • Resident Evil 1/2/4
    • Devil May Cry
    • P.N.03
    All fairly ridiculous games for mature audiences.

    I think they just do whatever the hell they want, and I honestly like it that way. It's not like they've ever disappointed (not, at least, when Mikami or Kamiya have directed).

    Apparently when she joined the Terran's ghost program.

    The less said about Infinite Space, the better in my opinion. But it does seem like the workload wasn't with Platinum as that game is nothing like any of their priors (in terms of both type of game and quality of product).

    I think that the only thing that this game actually has in common with MadWorld aside from ridiculous violence is the presence of Jack.

    I second that. I can't really place my finger on it, but I like the Japanese title better. I think it's because it sounds like a cliche action hero name.
     
    I'm excited about this new Platinum joint, hopefully the melee combat will be pretty ridiculous, a la God Hand. It'll be cool to see this developer take a crack at crafting an online experience, especially something a little different from the norm.

    Surely you do not mean to imply that God Hand was not an action game that targets mature audiences with a healthy dose of ridiculous.

    then I played Vanquish and now I'm kind of crazy psyched for this. So...

    I'd like to slam that ass! But this game looks
    nothing like MadWorld!   Guess the controversy
    is over as I'm not really interested in games that
    play up tits & ass for game play.  I want to play
    games, not masturbate!

    I guess I like the show too much but I can't help but think it's about the Anarchy sisters.   
         

          Of course they aren't the only ones with that name I bet.
