PlatinumGames "Would Love to Finish Scalebound if the Opportunity Presents Itself"
- Thread starter Eroke
- Start date
Maybe the game was too ambitious for this gen and a new gen of consoles would make it easier to realize what they wanted to do with it.
I recall a heavily reported rumor that Nintendo picked Scalebound up from Microsoft. I guess there was no truth to that.
Game was like an AA game needing finish ... it would require way too much money for a kickstarter
they would never get anywhere close to the amount they needed.
If there is a lot finished maybe Microsoft is having 1 of their studios work on it? It seemed like it should have been a next gen title.
Kind of like how Retro took over for Metroid Prime 4 but this time without scrapping the whole thing.

Difference is that W101 is an already finished game. Though I am surprised the Kickstarter did so well.
Scalebound likely wasn't finished when the plug was pulled. There's probably a lot more to it involved than getting it out the door.
Do it Microsoft!
Had the chance to see one of the latest build BCD at GamesCom and the framerate was really bad (and was running on PC) but damn, gameplay and atmosphere were great!
I think with the upcoming new generation of console the game could benefit of the extra power and finally see the light.
PLEASE

Indeed. The opportunity of wasting someone else's money to make awful games with no clear direction, but a warchest of already spent marketing, rarely presents itself.
It didn't look that great based on the footage. The premise has a ton of potential though.
I think I'd prefer a Drakenguard with similar mechanics.

The fuck is with this bandwagon hate for a game you never played? It looked pretty good for how far it got. The game was still a year or 2 from release.
Gotta be honest, scalebound was the only game that would make me consider getting an XBONE, and when MS canceled it, so did they any desire of mine to own their console.
I would love to see it back, Ms should sell them the IP back
As long as they make a deal with Platinum to treat xbox as a first class platform, I don't want to see their games skipping xbox or coming well after and depending on sales on everywhere else.

Same thing happened to Wonderful 101 when it was first shown, and the demo.
Big publishers are never quite sure how to show off Platinum's games
It's beyond the brink of reasonable for me to look at what we got out of Scalebound and think it is anything remotely worthwhile.
Edgy headphones DMC guy rides a janky dragon. Party up with multiplayer clones of edgy headphones DMC guy and clip through shit while ostentatious music and over the top action overwhelms you, now with more RPG mechanics.
I love JRPGs. I love Xbox. I want more of them on it. Scalebound hype was built on desperation. It presented on stage and it was awful looking. A big tech demo or weird concept that should have been killed sooner.

But it never looked like a coherent game to begin with. Why would they want to put themselves through that hell again.
I don't hate the game. I thought it looked good. However, this game is emblematic of Xbox One's abject shortcomings, and any marketing campaign would have to overcome the tsunami of bad press that has long since polluted the IP.
Is there really anyone who thought TW101 wouldn't make 50k
I understand the disdain for it, but really if all the game needs is a change/improvemebt to its gameplay system then why hate on a pretty cool premise?
The game should be rebooted as a multiplat title thats crossgen. I do personally hope discussion about this continues and they revamp the game to take criticsm if its gameplay in mind
did we? even then the amount they got for this is nowhere near enough to make a platinum sized game for modern consoles.
If only people cared half as much about it before it got cancelled as they did after it got cancelled.
