Platinum Games Scalebound

It's one Fuking game that got canceled. Not two - not three - not four. One game. Suddenly it's doom-n-gloom and Microsoft is lacking games now. Never mind there are plenty we don't know about come E3.

People are overreacting, drama queens, all. Before the game got canceled, the majority of you were waiting for the game to release so you can complain about how it's like Knack - with dragons. Gimme a Fuking break.

No one told you to buy Gears, bruh. If you're getting tired, play something else or switch personalities again. If I were Microsoft, I'd be legit shocked at gamers response to SB cancelation. I'm still baffled. I've said WTF more times in two days than I have all last year. You fuking guys are a riot. lol

Actually, it's two games, no three, no four games canceled isn't it? Fable Legends, Phantom Dust, Project Spark, and now Scalebound. How many canned games does it take to admit that there's a problem? Might not be just a Microsoft problem, but it's a problem. Invest in studios that don't suck then?

Knack with dragons, lol. It's more like Bayonetta with dragons. I know most of you haven't even watched gameplay vids and don't care about the game because all you play is shooters and racers but open your eyes. We're missing out of a quality game here.

I play plenty else. I'm simply wondering what's next from Microsoft? Halo, Gears, and Forza are played out. As much as i love them, they're done. Where are the gritty games that you associate the Xbox brand with? Nowhere to be found. Create some f***ing studios and throw some money down and create new flagship games. Quit making excuses for them.

Project spark wasnt cancelled, lol. It's been out for a long time. It was a minor release anyway. PD was overhyped from what I saw and practically an indie level game, And Fable Legends was not what anyone asked for. Not big losses. Scalebound was the biggest for sure, but still. Whatever, just talking in circles.

s*** like this is why I cant take you serious. You're either operating under your the influence of the other personality or you've been living under a rock. Xbox hasnt been just a Halo, Gears and Forza box for some time now. Still with me?

Gears, Halo and Forza are finished when the other consoles have something exclusive and worthy to dethrone them in their respective genres - seeing as all three defined their own. I mean, it's only been umteen years, FFS.

Its seriously just games. SB is a loss but not as dramatic as some are making it. Not even close..

Regarding the Cancellation of Scalebound
2017.01.11
We’re sorry to say that on January 9, 2017, Microsoft Studios announced the cancellation of Scalebound. We are very disappointed things ended up this way, especially since we know many of our fans were looking forward to this game as much as we were.

Going forward, we will strive to continue delivering high-quality games to you, starting with NieR:Automata in March, and including products like GRANBLUE FANTASY Project Re:Link and LOST ORDER in the future.

We will keep working hard to meet your expectations and we look forward to your continued support!

President and CEO

Dragons are cool. Main character looked stupid, sounded worse.

Don't really care about the politics of it.

When the next Killzone and GT Sport come out it will be undisputed. Sony doesn't rush the process. They trust the process.

Have a nice night.

I think thats the issue. GTSport is not at all rushed. And still has less content then 4 year old games.

Next Killzone? Good one. I'll pick it up with Drive Club season 2

If Halo Gears and Forza are played out, how come they keep outselling all the new IP from Sony and outliving them by decades? They came before Driveclub, Infamous, LBP, Uncharted, Killzone, Motorstorm, Demons Souls, Resistance, Heavy Rain, Beyond, Playstation all Stars all of which have now perished due to consumer disinterest.

Face it. Playstation fans got bored of those IP long before Xbox Fans will ever get bored of Halo, Gears and Forza.

As it stand Sonys long standing major IP are Gran Turismo which is at various stages of development hell (will GT 7 even be a PS4 game?) and God of War which is being rebooted in all the worst ways because Sony canned SSM new ip.

Well whose fault is that? Microsoft is the one who said no to a single player Fable despite the first 3 being a success. Instead we got something nobody wanted and bye bye Fable and bye bye Lionhead.
 
Hey, cool it people. Don't be talking badly about Forza Horizon 3. That's the greatest racing game out there. :wink:

I agree, but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't a huge loss.

How objective is TIC ? Looking at their twitter they seem Xbox fans ? Everything xbox related.
Not saying they can't be objective.

Recent ones yes because it's all Scalebound related but keep going. They appear to do all gaming, films and so on
 
That would explain the bad blood (removing videos) , but imo if the game was only 7 months away, they would have doubled down, got it out and simply never worked with Platinum again afterwards.

That's if it was 7 months away....
