Shiiit the website's been taken down?

Wow. It really has: xbox.com/games/scalebound redirects to the homepage

😐

 

[Theorry]

lmao

Scalebound has looked terrible so far but this forum really wanted this to fail from the beginning.

I made on of those threads and i was really hyped Scalebound.
Gutted.

 

[Vince DiCola]

God fucking dammit.
So many games I've looked forward to have been cancelled by Microsoft.

Sort out your shit guys, the 1st and 2nd party portfolio is awful nowadays.

It's just Halo, Gears or Forza

 

[Stone Ocean]

Oh god no

 

[level1]

Man this is bullshit. One of the main reasons I had gotten myself an xbox one

 

[Mookie1515]

For real? It never looked more than a ''paying the rent'' game by Platinum but this sucks.

Microsoft needs to stop canning everything.

Really? Scalebound looked like the 'paying the rent' game? Not all the licensed mediocre games?

At any rate, this would be terrible, especially meaning it'll be that much longer until we get another Kamiya directed game. Tragic.

 

[JayWood2010]

That is very unfortunate if true. Never understood the criticism of it

 

[black070]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

And there you have it.

 

[BossLackey]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

If the game sucks, or looks like it won't stop sucking before launch, it's better they cancel it than release a shitty game.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Well that sucks.

 

[icespide]

Well, if this is truly the case then there is no excuse. Quantum Break sequel pretty please.

sure thing, another Gears/Halo/Forza coming right up

 

[Instro]

Microsoft screwing over a developer? Shocking.

 

[7Th]

Sayonara, Platinum. Adios, Kamiya.

 

[dmr87]

Scalebound looked in trouble since its debut.

Pretty much.

 

[Minions]

Not entirely surprised. Looked really rough. Super bummed though.

 

[Drencrom]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Holy shit...

Is this because of MS meddling in the development?

 

[Tizoc]

Somebody tweet Kamiya about this stat.
TWEET HIM DAMN YOU!

 

[Coffee Dog]

This is on Platinum fucking up rather than Microsoft.

platinum seemed pretty capable when on nintendo's payroll.

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

FUCK

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Time for Nintendo moneyhat?

My first thought was Nintendo should make an effort to just buy Platinum now if this is true.

They need to add some variety to their exclusives. I guess it may not be worth it sense they've already gotten exclusive games from Platinum in the past though.

 

[Plasma]

Wouldn't surprise me I don't think it looked all that fun when they showed it off at E3. Still a shame though mainly because Microsoft seem to be having real difficulty this gen starting new franchises the only non-sequel game they've put out this gen that I enjoyed was Sunset Overdrive.

 

[James Scott]

Feel bad for the game. It's a pretty big and important title for the studio but there doesn't seem to be the hook that PG's other titles have just by looking at them and showing it off too early didn't seem to help.
I know Kamiya really wanted to make this game so I hope it works out.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Fuck.

Fuck.

I hope he dosn't end like Matsuno...

 

[daitoqu]

*del*

 

[LordKano]

Gutted.

Same. It was the only Xbox game I was looking forward and legitimately thought it could be a better Final Fantasy XV than the actual one.

Guess I'll never have the answer.

 

[wild wild rice]

If it's a troubled game, no one should be asking for Nintendo or Sony to moneyhat this game. Moneyhat a new Kamiya game, instead.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Man. Sounds like PG bit off more than they could chew.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Looked like shit since it was announced so no surprise there.

 

[Ray Down]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Damn poor Platinum and Kamiya

 

[everyday math]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Wow that sucks

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Lol

Fuck MS if true.

 

[Opticability]

Given Microsoft's recent actions I wouldn't be surprised if Crackdown 3 is next.

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

It's time to save a new game Nintendo!

 

[tim.mbp]

Early Access time.

 

[Trago]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Probably a ton of factors to consider. Won't stop people from aiming their muskets squarely hat Microsoft though.

I'm bummed by this.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Why did Microsoft announce these games? Fable Legends, Scalebound, Phantom Dust...There's clearly a problem here.

 

[Menitta]

This game was one of the main reasons I bought an Xbox One. I'll be really pissed if this is true.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Ouch, I suppose we did not see that coming.

 

[Jarmel]

God fucking dammit.

This wasn't Microsoft's fault seemingly but Platinum fucking up.

FUCK

 

[GravityInsanity]

Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.

Game development must be hell, man.

 

[Mass Effect]

Honestly didn't look that bad. Worth finishing up and releasing to recoup some of those losses at least. I would have bought it down the road had it been decent.

sunk cost fallacy

 

[SneakersSO]

Well, if this is truly the case then there is no excuse. Quantum Break sequel pretty please.

Too bad Remedy has confirmed they're no longer working with MS.

 

[wapplew]

You all better buy Nier automata.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Shit man. Too ambitious?

 

[D4Danger]

well that's that then. games sounds like a hot mess.

 

[sirap]

Somebody tweet Kamiya about this stat.
TWEET HIM DAMN YOU!

He's been silent since December. Pretty telling too considering how active he is on twitter.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I didn't like what was shown thus far although I love Platinum's games, but a cancellation would be sad nonetheless.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I'm done with the XB1 and Xbox after State of Decay 2.

Phil Spencer can't seem to manage the division.

I guess Nadella isnt kidding arround with stopping throwing money in bottomless pits.
I am gutted.
