Look at your goddamn avatar. At this point you only get to be disappointed at Microsoft if you really want to be disappointed.
i'm not excited about Scalebound but this is terrible news, i think this might be the last Xbox console
what happened to Crackdown 3 ? also cancelled ??
Let's be honest to ourselves, the game looked like a mess for a while.
Now whether that's Platinum's fault or Microsoft's we'll probably never know.
This truly sucks, hopefully Platinum can stay afloat.
And what about that investment they proclaimed at the start of the generation? They have almost nothing to show for it while they're busy closing multiple studios, letting another studio be independent and ending long working relationships with multiple partners.they invest billions into hardware and infrastructure, spend years building things like 360 backwards compatibility and invest millions in studios and games. what sort of question is that?
Nobody else has pockets deep enough to support this business. I want them to make as much cool shit as possible like everyone else but sometimes it doesn't work out.
you do realize that Activision killed off their licensed games division right?
Man... Kamiya must be really taking this hard, from the interviews you really could tell it was his passion project, he said multiple times that he always wanted to make a game about a dragon fighting alongside his human buddy.
MS is at fault partly because there have been proof that their structure and demands don't always work well with third party developers (Lost Odyssey, TFLO etc.).
Star Fox Zero's fundamental problems were all on the Nintendo side of things. Shikamaru Ninja did a breakdown when it came out and Platinum's responsibility was mainly the art and music. All the programming and game design was Nintendo.
So many copypastas, so little timeReading this was an experience, but I don't know what this is parodying
Fable Legends was fun tho.
Good tbh
It looked fuckin terrible
Microsoft, make the rest of Platinum's Xbox 360 games backward compatible ASAP
I really think if NieR is good it'll surprise people. The first one has great word of mouth on its side and with Platinum at the helm I think it'll be a hard game to miss. I'm optimistic about it.
Phil Spencer is really killing the system. There has been more cancellation and studio shutdown since he took over compared to when Mattrick was there. Maybe Mattrick wasn't the bad guy after all.
Square Enix should buy it and make it Drakengard 4.
Terrible news. Sure it didn't look good but still. Wasn't this even bigger than W101? Sure W101 bombed but at least it made it to retail.
That's one ruthless statement. "Scalebound is cancelled, but who cares, please divert your attention to whatever we have left".
they cancelled the only interesting exclusive they had in 2017, well done Microsoft, just go ahead and announce that this is the last generation of Xbox
...or kiss your business goodbye?
I miss mattrick.
What the fuck is this nonsense? Yeah, it sucks Scalebound got cancelled but Xbox is in a much better place with Phil. BC and Scorpio are both huge. Hopefully some new IPs will be introduced this E3. I'm sure he's well aware of this issue.
Hey if you use promises of future games to sell consoles, you should eat the cost and deliver.I meant they didn't resume funding and several key people left the studio while the game became vaporware until PS4 hardware showed up and they realized the game could feasibly run and wouldn't be super expensive to finish. It's an extremely rare case, for an example of what typically happens to games that have been in development for a fuckton of time, see the development of Homefront The Revolution.
What were they supposed to say? Platinum fucked up? That not how this works.that is? That's all they say about a game in dev for this long?!
15 words.
Amazing. My heart sinks even more for the dev team.
