North America and Europe will have boxes with different names on them from the ones in Japan.
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.

Expect Anarchy Reigns to hit store shelves in Fall 2011 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

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. "
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.

" @Laketown said:
" @Hailinel: didn't they work on infinite space with another dev though? "
They did, though I have no idea how that workload was split. "
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 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.
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!
