Ex-Clover employees form new company, called "Seeds": Now called "Platinum Games"

[ChairHome]

Joyous day. Can't wait to see what comes out of it.

And they're looking for Talent:


Atsushi Inaba. Hideki Kamiya. Shinji Mikami. And a specially selected staff.

We are the Seeds that caused the vibrant flowers Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Steel Battalion, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami to come into bloom.

Although we alight upon a different earth, even though the soil is different, our hearts -- closely pursuing the dream of "play" -- have not changed.

Now, with a renewed spirit, we want to once again challenge the world of entertainment. But to do this, we need many, many more seeds.

So, we are currently searching far and wide for people who want to work alongside us. For people who want to build their future. People who are currently making games elsewhere.

Would you like to make some "preposterously amazing" games with us?

EDIT 9/27/07
Merging with IT company to be called "Platinum Games" (http://kotaku.com/gaming/horrible/seeds-gets-craptastic-new-name-304227.php)

You should do it. Worst that would happen is that you wouldn't get it. Best that would happen is you get it and your brain explodes from the excitement.

[9TNine]

I just want to know what platform's they're going to support. Please be Nintendo.

No more RE's from Mikami? This makes me sad.

[SFFanatic]

The former gods of Capcom leave to form a new haven...intreasting.

[Son Them All]

Sweet. Sequel to Godhand plz k thnx.

[AKUMA2000]

I wonder what this will mean for the rumored SF remake, or better yet the SF world in general.....:sweat:

[Hwoarvang]

Screw Capcom, they can't deliver the goods anymore. Seeds look promising.

Absolutely nothing probably. And considering Capcom's latest foray, I think its better that way.

[Son Them All]

Well I would've said them but since the Clover guys left/disbanded, I didn't really think it'd be appropriate to put the Clover games.

I just need Godhand2 in my life, and now it might happen.

[tharimrattler]

Yes! I have been wondering about this for a while, good to hear they will still be making games. Viewtiful Joe and God Hand are incredible games and it will be interesting to see what these guys come out with in the future.

do they need an artist? i cant read the damn site

They probably do, but I'm pretty sure knowing Japanese and living in Japan are pretty high up there on the priority list.

You realize at least half of that list is made by the individuals now forming Seeds, right? In fact, Ultimate GnG is the only one I remember for sure none of them had a hand in.

And do you realize that he didn't make the half of the list that had the Clover games on it? Somebody else inserted that into a quote of his.

[Shinto]

Dope.

Still no word on any games coming out of them, but now they have a crappy new name (http://kotaku.com/gaming/horrible/seeds-gets-craptastic-new-name-304227.php).
