They'd have to make the main character a silent protagonist for me to even consider playing it. The music is remarkably bad too.

I'm still a little confused as to how they would make it run on the switch... I mean they had trouble getting it stable on the xbox one and that is more powerful...so I have no idea how they plan on getting it run in the way they wanted on the switch... I mean I love the switch... but it will struggle...

I imagine if it were to happen, which seriously doubt, it would be basically be restarted from near scratch (like Metroid Prime 4). That's probably where it was already and Microsoft was unwilling to start over.

That's huge. Like, "buy" something that Microsoft ditched, is something is quite the effort. And if bigger if the rights of the name belongs to Microsoft and Nintendo bought or something like.
And if I recall correct, Scalebound started as a Wii project, of a girl and a Dinosaur, imagine de meltdown if it turns to be this...
But let's see, I personally was not found of the game visuals, mainly the human characters. And my impression of the game, was that, it would play like Monster Hunters, like gathering people to hunt giant monsters.

That may be. However I'm still butthurt that Nintendo and Microsoft could never come to an agreement regarding Goldeneye. (Behind the ill fated Wii Rogue Squadron trilogy, that HD Goldeneye remaster is my most wanted 'dead' game; Goldeneye 2010 was decent in its own right, but the earlier straight remaster looked sweet.)

? Except they very well could do that. Not everything is some dark, secret agenda man.
As in, the marketing team could have felt having that teams name might lead gamers to think the game is by Platinum and not them, they could have felt that it'd make more sense to have it properly reflect the team that owns the IP. Example. Halo MCC, United Front Games also worked on that game (as they do many, many games) their name isn't on the cover of that game, their name isn't even on the website regarding Halo MCC

So the timing might lead you to believe something fishy is going on, but they very much could have still had a contract for them to only do a specific thing and also decide it makes marketing sense to not have this team have their name, logo etc all over their site making folks think they own the IP or the game is about a concept that team is known for etc.
So reality is, for a fact...lots of teams work on games, even teams you never heard of have had hands on some of the biggest AAA projects and are not on the main website or cover of the game etc simply listed in the credits.
Sony has helped on several Metal Gear Solid titles with their Japan studio, their names are not on the box art and or on the website.
Some times they are only credited in the credits. Thats ok, that isn't new and thats not some massive cover up.
Its simply a team that outsourced to another team and decided they wanted to not market that team so much on their advertising. Thats ok, that isn't a crime or conspiracy bud lol

It wasn't just MS or Nintendo, neither own the James Bond license.

I'm not the one making pronouncements as if they were fact when the reality is you don't have any evidence whatsoever, beyond:
That is indicative of some sort of dispute at the very worst, but you cannot apportion blame to one party specifically based on that.
Of course the property is going to end up on the publisher's side, as opposed to the contractor's, because they are the IP holder and the ones bankrolling the project.

Yeah I'm not saying the fault was 100% with Platinum. We may never know the whole story.
I was just astounded at the Platinum fanboys who were trying to spin it as "Platinum completed their portion of the game and now that team has moved to something else."
Whatever the story was, I 100% guarantee it wasn't that. There is no way that Platinum delivered the product that CyGames hoped to get when contracting them.

That was true then, but hasn't been true for years. Nobody owns the Bond license. If either company wanted it to happen at this point it could have happened.

I though I read somewhere that Platinum started funding another games developement with the money MS gave them to develop this one. I could be way off base here.

I'm so happy for these devs.
Yeah you are. Just use your common sense.

I really hope Nintendo will give Based Kamiya another chance. It might turn out to be worth it, who knows ?

While I wasn't completely sold at what they have shown at Microsofts E3s, I believe the core idea can be quite fun. I guess they have to reboot the project anyway.
I am actually more astonished at how many projects Platinum can do in parallel: Astral Chain, Babylon's Fall, Bayonetta 3 and now this? They also worked on that Granblue Fantasy game.

So... the ResetERA industry insider that accurately leaked the date for the february Nintendo Direct and other things as well, King Zell, recently hinted that an " impossible " Switch announcement was going to be made in the future. What's interesting to notice is that he compares the nature of the announcement to like seeing Mario on a PlayStation...
( Via ResetERA )
So basically he might be suggesting that the mystery title is from an IP owned by a rival company...
Has to be either Scalebound or the scrapped Halo DS prototype being rebooted from the ground-up.

That could be any number of things. Let's not presume anything.
This sound bigger than Scalebound might be Halo , killer instinct , Banjo or Conker on Switch.

If they're using Mario as an example it has to be bigger than a cancelled game most people don't even know exists.

Halo on Switch via streaming is my guess.

It was hyped because MS got a Platinum* exclusive. And an RPG at that. Now it might get revived. The circus around the game is more interesting than the game itself

Halo BR with crossplay on Switch x XBone.

It's probably Ori.

Ori is far way the Mario ocean. Halo is more likely, at least using the phrase that the dude said.

I'd love to see this made true, but sounds as a crappy fanboy fake rumor. It doesn't make sense for many reasons:
I don't see why Nintendo would want to buy that to MS instead of making their own IP, why MS would sell the IP, why they would want to resurrect a canned project, how MS would allow to allow someone to release one of their biggest failures in a rival platform as exclusive and how Platinum would port it from XBO to Switch.

Ok. Don't laugh at me but could it be Microsoft's own mascot type game in "Super Lucky's Tale"?
Super Lucky's Tale
It fits a couple things. Nintendo's "cute" family friendly mascot/3D platforming ala Mario and it's not a game(especially Microsoft backed)
we'd ever think would be on a rival console.
And while not being able to be in 4K native, I think the Switch could otherwise run this pretty well.
