Scalebound announced for XboxOne (Kamiya, UE4, Platinum/Microsoft) [Port Beg = Ban]

the new Dante

Reminds me of Joffrey (GOT tv show) in one of his scenes.
 
So it seems many people do not like it when new Ip's are debuted by cgi trailers. It gives a bad impression.

Sony, MS and Nintendo should look into it, though I think Nintendo does it the least.


It's unavoidable as the game might not have anything else ready to show other than the teaser.
 
MGR was commercially successful (with Kojima having been satisfied with the results and wanting to work with them again on the franchise). That said, most of their output doesn't sell especially well.
Which had to have the metal gear name attached to it.
 
It's the same crazy people as in every thread about Platinum.

Pay them no mind, they have not seen the light.

We gon keep suplexing huge enemies while they sit on the bench.

I think that is what people are forgetting. Its Kamiya dammit! Do people really think he will make a super safe and simple game? Haha.
 
Whoa, Retro_ doesn't like TW101??

I don't think it's a bad game.

but I think it's his worst action game. With all the minigame sections I just can't bring myself to replay it. At least at this point.

So I'm hoping he dials that shit back here. Make a good, fun, creatively open ended combat game and focus on that.

That's why Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta are the GOAT. If you're going to make an action game stick to action is all I mean with 101 criticism.
 
The "safe" art style is just a ploy to lure in dudebros and then show them what REAL GAMEPLAY is all about. Oh, you want to take cover behind that waist-high wall? Well fuck you. Get in there and juggle that giant into the stratosphere before piledriving it with your sword.
 
I trust Platinum will deliver a quality game like they always do. Cinematic trailers are always underwhelming but its probably to early to show anything ingame. Xbone here i come
 
Nope that's normal I'd say.

I don't think the purpose of the Scalebound trailer was to sell people on the game, more just to announce and get people talking about it. We still know very little about it!.

Bayonetta 2 is familiar, being a sequel, and we've seen a lot on the game so it makes sense you are sold on it, as am I!.

I hope it's just to get the word out and confirm it.

At this point the game could end up being a QTE game for all we know. Like I trust Platinum I really do but that trailer was bland and just had nothing really going for it to get the hype rolling beyond that names attached to it.
 
I'm happy for Platinum, i need to see actual gameplay but i'm confident in a game made by them, maybe i will buy a xbox one someday to play this.
 
While I'm sure it'll be a good game, it was a terrible trailer. The art was awful, and I really hope it's not controlling big monsters.
 
The CGI trailer is just meant to establish some key concepts.

You're a dude who's cool in that ironic Japanese way.

You're on some gorgeous lush jungle planet.

You're surrounded by butt-beasting kaiju.

You have a sword, bow, and a magic exo-suit made of scales.

You're friends with one of the dragons and surf on it.

There's a hydra the size of the Empire State Building.

You will likely suplex said hydra.

Didn't come off that way at first, but when he did a henshin then it felt Japanese. Does Microsoft Studio have any sort of creative impact on the game? That's the question I have.
 
0 hype, and I am a huge platinum games fan. Don't know what to think about this game. Needs a gameplay video.
 
Kamiya is one of the few developers to get the benefit of the doubt for me. The man has never made a game I didn't adore.

This. I wasn't feeling the trailer. It being CG and stuff didn't do it for me but it's by Kamiya and he can do no wrong when making a game.
Looking forward to seeing actual gameplay at some point
 
is "Platinum" a misnomer?
In terms of game quality, no (as JPizzle84 said, some of the best games from the previous gen came from them). In respect to sales potential, unfortunately not off the mark.
Which had to have the metal gear name attached to it.
I have no doubt that it wouldn't have done as well if not for that, yes.
I'm actually talking about his arm and headphones. Reminded me of Nero.
Oh yeah. Good point.

AUGH! I need this. Damn it Platinum. Well at least I wont need an XB1 till 2016.

Ah, OK. It's cool. I mean, you could hate everything I like and I'd still respect your views. Bros forever after Anarchy Reigns! But it's nice to see your assessment of 101 is a bit more even than it originally appeared. :-)

Anarchy Reigns 2 PS4 exclusive
 
Aaand my hopes and dreams of Vanquish 2 are crushed yet again. I never really got into the dragonbashing thing so this doesn't look interesting thematically, but it's Platinum, so it can't be bad.
 
Anarchy Reigns 2 PS4 exclusive
Anarchy Reigns 2 ANYWHERE will suffice. Get that game running online at 60 fps. And by "that game" I mean, literally, just take the first one and polish it to perfection.

Some of the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game EVER. Right up there with Unreal Tournament '99, GoldenEye on the N64, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Warhawk...

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in.
Ha! XD
 
I wonder if Ninty declined the game, to b e honest based off of the trailer and W101 sales I cant blame them.

I will hold judgement for a while but this looks generic so far and lacks a soul, looks like MS grappling for MH type game in Japan
