A damn 70 page thread for Scalebound, in a couple hours. Where was any of this pent up interest during the last 3 years .
Scorpio

My take on all this, and I've been seeing this for a while, is that Microsoft is transitioning all their games to the 'live service' model.

Basically Microsoft want to have their games emulate what Minecraft has been able to do.
Long lifecycle, large user base, Increased spend.
Come on.
StudioMDHR is independent.

Microsoft's future direction is about being able to offer the Xbox games and live services on multiple devices that run Windows 10.
You're gonna get a lot of "that's bait"-type responses, but I have to agree to an extent. TW101 was pretty good, but it's the only one of Kamiya's games that I haven't loved unequivocally. And while I was still looking forward to Scalebound, man, what they showed at E3 this past year looked rough. At no point did it ever look like it was fun to play, which again, is shocking for a Kamiya game.Shame. Wonderul 101 and this, is a clear downward slide.
Tsk tsk
Pretty much. After 360, the console was DOA in Japan to begin with.you say this is as if xbox was ever actually there to begin with.
Same reason why Nier Automata keeps being hyped up as a PS4 exclusive, console exclusivity counts this gen, anything for the sake of list wars. ¬_¬Cuphead is not being published by MS and it's also coming to Steam.
Confused as to why I keep seeing that game brought up.
This is surprising accurate. :/Nobody gave a shit before it was canceled.
Don't worry, nobody will give a shit tomorrow, when "gaming drama of the day" has been replaced by new gaming drama.
It was a dude wearing headphones riding Dragons. I'm sure some mainstream Xbox fans were looking forward to this or at least were aware of its existence.
Cuphead is the next to get canceled. Just watch.
Microsoft. Platinum don't own any of the IPs for games they develop.
They got a new CEO last year though, and one of his resolutions for the next 3 years was to make their first game that they completely own themselves.
The scorpio thing is a meme making fun of user Statham that went into the PS4 sales thread and wrote just thatI don't understand the scorpio mentions...
Isn't the Scorpio supposed to be the Pro version of X1?
Meaning: All Scorpio games will be playable on X1. So I don't know why Scorpio would resurrect this game, or any other game...
Is this a hope or a wish?
The problem is not every game is minecraft or animal crossing.
Not very many types of IP really support the "live service" model, other than crafting, tomogotchi type games, and maaaybe you could make a survival type game work but I don't think people will consistently keep their character going in a survival type setting. There's only so much zombie killing you can do.
Mmos as well but not everyone is in to that.
You're essentially cutting out a large part of the gaming audience who are primarily interested in single player narrative driven or just solid single player gameplay if narrative is lacking. If all games become live service time and $ sucks I'm probably out.
If MS isn't happy selling $60 single player games then I'm not happy with MS, and they will realize a lot of people agree.
Who owns the Okami IP now?

Hmm, very mixed reactions.
Anyway, yall better buy 4 copies of Nier to make sure Platinum survives and that I get that DoD4 game a la Platinum as well.
Off topic: I'm always kinda shocked to see how quickly some posts really gain traction. Also
Tsk tsk
Good job Microsoft, now let P* alone so Nintendo can actually made games with them.

Although the demo is awesome and I'm excited for it, it will probably bomb commercially...

Capcom still have it and Viewtiful Joe. That's how they got Okamiden done.
The fuck? Nothing wrong with W101

Yikes.
That seemed like one of the incoming heavy hitters for the platform, even though I had no interest.
Hasn't there been recent press on this game?
It's already coming to PC.Cuphead's taking so long because they retooled the game from a boss rush to more of a platformer. Those hand-drawn sprites aren't easy to make. With that being said I wouldn't be surprised to see this game (or Below, remember Below) to pull a Rime and end up on other platforms.

Capcom of course.

Requiescat em Pace Platinum Games.
How fucking hilarious would it be if Nintendo picked up the funding for Scalebound and made it Switch exclusive? Lol. Meltdowns galore.
Goodbye Japan.
It's a marketing campaign. Pretend the game is cancelled, get the attention of everybody then release it around the Switch release with $200 Xbox S bundle
Cuphead is the next to get canceled. Just watch.
Dreams dying... Capcom have been on a slow decline for a while. I don't know if they'll ever hit Konami levels of shit but they're a bit of a mess right now. I hope RE7 is a return to form.
It's only a bomb if you drastically miss sales expectations. Not everything needs to sell 5m to be a financial success for the creators.EVERY Platinum game bombs commercially. They make games for a niche crowd and that's all they need to do.
