Microsoft, take notes! Their exclusives still look abysmal.
This makes no sense and RE7, Yooka Laylee, For Honor and Tekken 7 aren't even exclusive. Weird post.

Why does there have to be so much unilateral blame? Considering the timeframe, this seems like something that just didn't work out for both parties involved.
There was already a post about what really happen with this tweet and not really have to do with it.
To be fair I don't think Sony would give that level of support to a team that hadn't made ICO and SOTC, although I agree it is comendable.I think this really speaks to the different philosophies that Sony and Microsoft.
You've got Sony keeping shit around for 10 years (the last guardian) and Microsoft seemingly axing things left and right.
Considering the multiplayer focus of Halo 5, Forza, Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, Gears of War it makes sense that Microsoft would have wanted Scalebound to follow the same pattern. It was clear that wasn't what the game was when it was announced. Look at what they did to Fable as well with Fable Legends as another example. What made Scalebound stand out at the time, at least for me, is that it wasn't another mulitplayer or co-op focused game.
Oh please explain me what asking for a cancelled game owned by a competitor for another platform is.
I'll wait.
Souls games aren't open world so much as several incredibly linear and tightly designed levels that're interconnected with each other, certainly not open world in the sense of what people typically mean. Like having villages with roaming npcs. Hell Souls npcs don't even roam.
Yooka Laylee, Tekken 7 and For Honor arent exclusives but yeah its sad :'(

if you wanna play list wars it's probably best not to include a picture where half the games aren't actually exclusives.

Remember how Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 run during co-op...not to mention Souls games are always geometrically complex but rarely are they "open." And you certainly aren't doing anything like flying a dragon my dude come on.They're seamlessly connected often times massive,geometrically complex areas.
Not to mention that they managed to get seamless multiplayer to work on almost every part of the game.
The souls games are a stunning achievement on so many levels,especially in the japanese industry scene.
Put more money, because without that boldness we wouldn't got The Last Guardian.
No. The tweet has nothing to do with that it's baseless speculation.Going by the tweet it sounds like Microsoft started meddling in shit and forcing options into the game that no one on the dev team wanted.
Surely they'll greenlight these projects now that you've said this.

Not only did Project Spark come out, but it's free to play.
Microsoft:

Why don't you show us all where that actually happened, first? It'll be an excellent opportunity for you to work on that comprehension
Where? ��
Half those games aren't even exclusive to PS.

Shit like this is fucking dangerous. That is not what happened and that tweet has nothing to do with it. But people will start quoting this and eventually actually believing it when it's completely baseless speculation pulled from nothing.
Well fuck...
Edit: wishing Kamiya recovers and gets well soon.
Ah, here's what I was looking for
July 2015: "Those shits at MS...are they fucking with me?"
So, let's set a timeline HEAVY with speculation. Game was announced at E3 2014 without much notice. It skipped E3 2015, but showed up at Gamescom that year in August with an announcement of four-player co-op, which was shown off with a much rougher game in E3 2016's conference. The game was then cancelled soon after.
My guess is that, in July, Kamiya was told he had to rejigger the game into a four-player co-op thing. There were never any hints he wanted to make the game a Monster Hunter-like, but I am guessing people in charge of money were expecting him to do so. It gets announced, shown off, and the response is tepid. Changing tides at Microsoft, a desire to free up the UE4 team they put together to work with Kamiya, and being unhappy with the state of the game lead to it being cancelled.
If my guess is correct, that's really sad.
Fucking hell. What an absolute shitshow over there at MS. Phil has got to be in serious trouble at this point.
They did shut it down, tho.

Sony sticks with The Last Guardian for what, 10 years? And MS cancels this after less than half of that. The project really must not have been any good or inspiring guys.
that's not how game development works
you can't just "release" something mid development lol
You overestimate the importance of Power. If power were the case the Xbox and Gamecube should of destroyed the PS2, but they didn't. The PS4 is winning not because its more powerful but because it was cheaper and had a better marketing campain. Power was just the cherry on top.

Ooooof. Got a link to that?
What a depressing finite thread title.
