Hideki Kamiya has formally left PlatinumGames and has now launched his very personal YouTube channel, appropriately titled ‘Hideki Kamiya Channel’.
Introduced with Kamiya’s signature sense of humour, the debut video delves into his departure from his position as Vice President at PlatinumGames and what his plans are going forwards.
We would advise you to not get your hopes up simply but, although, because it appears Kamiya is just not at the moment in any rush to get again to work. Certainly, he states that he determined to depart PlatinumGames three months in the past on the time of the video add and has spent nearly all of his time watching Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. He goes on to say “I am unable to work for [the same industry for] a yr. For causes. So it will be some time till I carry excellent news to you all”.
Judging from a sizeable chunk of the video, it seems like Kamiya will probably be spending fairly a little bit of his time going ahead with some dwelling cooking. Truthful sufficient, proper?
Curiously, Kamiya stays coy on his causes for leaving PlatinumGames, and has acknowledged the next:
“Why did I give up? You’ll be able to bleep out, proper? How ought to I put it… Hmm… How can I put it… Umm… There is not any manner I can put it! You guys perceive, proper? However… I would say, I left the corporate as a result of I wished to comply with my beliefs as a recreation creator and to decide on the trail I feel is true and transfer on. Yeah, so I am not going to retire but. I wish to preserve creating video games.”
Whereas we are able to solely speculate at this stage, it seems like Kamiya had maybe clashed together with his colleagues relating to artistic variations and felt it greatest to strike out on his personal. No matter the place he finally ends up, nonetheless, we will not wait to see what he cooks up sooner or later. Each within the kitchen and within the recreation studio.
