Disney's money maker Disney Infinity is getting some top action game talent. It was just announced at Giant Bomb's PAX Prime panel that developer Ninja Theory (Enslaved, DmC, Hellblade) is working with Disney Interactive on characters for Disney Infinity 2.0.

Ninja Theory has worked on Loki, Green Goblin, Ronan the Accuser (coming in January) and Princess Jasmine, who has the power to summon sand tornadoes.

that'S strange decision, though I suspect they didn't had much choice.

Bit odd. If I were Disney, NT wouldn't be my first choice, but, each to their own I suppose.
I expect a nice amount of money was involved though. :greedy:

You'd have to be cuckoo to turn down Disney.

NT just keeps getting well known companies to notice their work.
That's great!

I.....why? Like, of all the companies in the world, why Ninja Theory? I don't get it.

Maybe because they need money?

I think it's because they're actually worthy. All around. You see they already consider NT family.

Same thing can be said about Platinum Games.

Nobody debates on it. lol

Because Disney still likes pinching their pennies. As much as I love Disney movies and what they've contributed when it comes to the Marvel universe, I notice their approach to a lot of things.

Disney wants people they can count on to deliver what they ask for without breaking any bank. So expensive people are not the first choice.

Now, I admit it actually does some good letting lesser known folk really shine and prove their worth. Like Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in Guardians of The Galaxy. The dude use to live in a van practically homeless and starred in a couple of small flicks, but Disney saw potential and now the dude's career is getting the boost it deserves. He was in LEGO movie, Guardians, and will be in the new Jurassic Park. Good for him. He's a good guy on top of all of this and that's awesome.

Ninja Theory is a competent developer. Sure, they have stuff they need to do to improve, but in an industry so scared of taking risk pushing out nothing but sequels, I commend Ninja Theory for at least trying new things and making the games they wanna make. I see that they LIKE making games. Unlike most companies which just try to make the next CoD by copying it.

I think that's the best explanation. Ninja Theory is capable to delivering what they want from them for Disney Infinity and they won't have to pay top dollar. Other companies would probably play some hard ball.

I don't know why alot of you are speaking on payouts. When, in fact, you don't know how much NT negotiated with Disney. You guys just assume that NT, the people that worked with Sony and Capcom is just bottom of the barrel. When in truth, they were so good that Sony entrusted them make the first exclusive to the PS3 and Capcom trusted them to make the first reboot to Devil May Cry (also letting them use the avatar studio).

These people aren't trusted based off of their resume. They're trusted because they provided the necessary works for the project. I'm sure Disney asked Ninja Theory for a demo or interviewed them. Liked what they pitched and hired them. Everyone else that attempted surely did not do as well. Seeing as Ninja Theory has the potential, it's only a matter of how much their services costs. So, they ask them.

Remember folks, Sony paid them and Capcom paid them. Whether the game fails or succeeds doesn't matter. They've already been paid. Which is why Tameem had no problem saying that "He doesn't care if it fails."Because he knows what limits they were given to create the game. You read it right. LIMITS. Any video game creator or a creator in general hates having LIMITS. Myself included. So they were already paid and whatever royalties they get for the game is just that...royalties.

They are onto other things and if they get the call from Capcom about a DmC 2 they're going to discuss if they want to answer it or not. It's their decision when it comes to DmC 2. Since I've read that tweet about them hinting that they wanna make another DmC. That kind of attitude is hinting more to the payload and fun they got for making it.

They need payoffs because they publishing their own game, which requires huge amount of money. Even if their team isn't that big, they need money for workers, for expansions, for publishing for marketing. It's all comes pricey.

Thanks for explaining the genius of Ninja Theory. You see, they've already moved their title forward with a "huge amount of money" and are also extending their business into "huge amount of money" territory to secure and further their income.

In short, Ninja Theory isn't going to do what Platinum Games did with Bayonetta. If you didn't know, Platinum Games gambled with that game and now they're stuck working with limiters.

Nintendo is the only reason Bayonetta is still alive because no one wanted the thing besides them. They played necromancer. And that was also I bet Nintendo just trying to secure that 3rd party support they so desperately need.

It evidently is working out just fine though because P* has enjoyed working with the big N and want to do more collaborations in the future.

Nintendo:
-Wonderful 101
-Bayonetta

Then the other desperate company.

-Scalebound.

Lol.

Anyone can read between the lines of the company that isn't doing exclusives and are just placing timed exclusivity as their limit. It's because they already have so many exclusives that trump so many.

Eh, once again what does topic has to do with P* games? You keep bringing them while topic has nothing to do with them.
I said that to self publish game you need money, which they need to get from someone. And thats huge amount of money. There is no way they could refuse Disney offer. Or do you think all those unpublished projects went under because they didn't want to work on them?

Why are you asking about the platform for my example to stand? Is there no conclusion to your needless curiosity? Just read until you understand.

There is no way Disney could refuse Ninja Theory's rate.

Those unpublished projects could've been put on hold or just completely scrapped. Ninja Theory probably didn't peak anyone's interest or had peaked someone's interest but, then said company didn't have enough money or had demands Ninja Theory wasn't ok with. Which would cause a fallout.

Yeah because Disney is just small-time publisher who has nobody to ask for help ...LOL

They could have published them without publisher if they had enough money.

How do you even function?

Ok, accessing simplistic mode:

Ok, let's say Disney saw what Ninja Theory was capable of and called them up. Ninja Theory gave them a sample of what they could. Disney asks Ninja Theory how much it'd cost to make it happen. Ninja Theory gave their numbers and Disney agreed.

Do you understand where I'm coming from now? I can't simplify this any further, it'd damage the universe.

They are publishing Hellblade because they favor that game over the others. You do know Hellblade is theirs ALL AROUND right?
