Yeah. Gave me those vibes too. Love it.

It's so ridiculous. Like Bayonetta 2, this is a game unlikely to even exist without Microsoft.

Why do people insist on acting like Microsoft did something unscrupulous by scooping this up and funding it, and why do people insist on trying to blame Kamiya for it not being on other platforms?

Once again, were it not for Microsoft, this game would be on zero platforms. Ever.

amen, jesus fucking christ. Things often take money, and you better believe that Platinum considered a deal like this carefully.

Kamiya betrayed

why is such a big issue in gaf? Microsoft asked and funded this from Platinum of course it will be exclusive. nothing wrong with that get over it

Because it derails discussions.

Port begging derails threads from real discussion. No wants to filter through a sea of "oh man, i hope this comes to ____ platform!", "I'll wait for the PC version!".

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Gonna be sooo awkward when he's got to play up his company's next multiplat like Revengeance...

Actually it won't be. He'll just toss it over to the people that are actually heading up that game like Inaba and Saito with the same annoyed tone.

It had to be added to both Project Beast threads aswell. Some will just never get it.

 

[UltraGunner]

why is this man so cooooldd lol

Kamiya should be the only Game Industry person allowed on Twitter.

 

[udiie]

maybe main dude will be customizable; i get the feeling this will be a multiplayer monster hunter style game, which i am interested in since pg has more appealing combat to me than MH

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

His batting average for platinum is pretty poor if we are talking about games that anyone actually buys. Platinum get a lot of love for a developer without a hit game under their belts.


That said ***Dragons*** ! Will give this interest going forward , maybe the MS marketing push will really benefit the studio.

Bayonetta and MGR both sold decently, just not amazingly well.

I'm okay with Platinum making a living like this. Seems as long as they deliver good quality on time, some publisher will step up to fund them.

 

[Sendou]

This is like W101 all over again lol. Love this man.

Bayonetta was a bomba, for next gen standards.

Port beg = ban? Let me see that bayonetta2 thread...

Because whenever news warrants a new thread about the game, it ends up being about why is "x game not on platform y??" instead of the actual news the thread existed for. It kills discussion.

 

[spannicus]

That tweet was funny as shut lol

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

why is this man so cooooldd lol

This does't even make sense really, yet it still burns

 

[ocean]

This was a very exciting reveal! Perhaps not the megaton some were expecting but it certainly gave me a fair dose of Xbox envy

I look forward to seeing more footage. It's very cool that Platinum is getting the funding to make new titles despite not appealing to the mainstream market. Now that both Nintendo and Microsoft have taken over the sponsoring for some of their projects, it seems the industry is really valuing them as an important team. I hope this becomes a trend (quality developers being supported, I mean).

 

[Graphics Horse]

Scalebound sounds like some made up tech jargon. We're using Unreal Engine 4 for this because UE3 was too scalebound.

 

[Naked Lunch]

This game is going to be amazing. Day one instant purchase.

 

[Slaythe]

welp

looks like I will be buying an xbox one over a ps4. I didn't think i'd actually say this, but since kamiya has the best track record in gaming I must own this game.

They have Miyazaki on Sony's side though.

Also isn't it stupid to decide that before seeing the sony conference ?

Anyway, that ScaleBound has everything to be amazing ! I'm hyped !

On a side note, I find it highly ironic that the hero looks just like the Dante from the DmC version.

 

[DangerMouse]

Actually it won't be. He'll just toss it over to the people that are actually heading up that game like Inaba and Saito with the same annoyed tone.

That's true actually. Unless he does one.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Bayonetta was a bomba, for next gen standards.

1.3 million copies is the definition of decent for a new action IP, if the standard for good is 2-3 million copies of God of War or great is 4-5 million copies of DMC4.

 

[ponpo]

Where the gameplay at ._.

 

[RPG Wizard]

Huh. I am intrigued. I hope this at least sells well. P* really needs a break in that department. I mean, W101 is a phenomenal game, but the general audience just ignored it.

Starting to feel like P* is in the same place as Treasure. Fantastic games that just fail to get any love except in retrospect.

Well P*, let's do this! WONDER-EYES DRAGONS!

Are people in here asking why it's exclusive? I don't see any post like that.

This is the dude behind bayonetta? (showing my ignorance).

Sod sales, he/platinum gave me one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences of my life

 

[DangerMouse]

Yeah, can definitely understand that Kamiya doesn't disappoint on action games, it's probably going to be really great.

 

[Anteater]

yeah, he's got a pretty good track record, his first game was resident evil 2, then he went and make devil may cry, viewtiful joe, okami, bayonetta and wonderful 101, all are really different and charming games.

edit: well I haven't played w101, but adding it just for reference.

 

[wsippel]

They act like he chose XBONE

Im sure XBONE chose him!

Probably. That's how things typically work if you're independent.

 

[sphagnum]

I have faith in Kamiya.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Wait, I can't play this on Virtual Boy!?

Spoiler

Profound gladness..

 

[timetokill]

Hope this game is good, I'm excited to play it, though it might be a while before I get a chance to.

It will be hard coming off his best game ever, Wonderful 101, but I'm glad it seems Kamiya just gets to make the kind of stuff he's really into.

 

[Cameron122]

Dragon Guyver

Yisss

 

[Figments]

People, I swear.

The game's art style looks badass.

Can't wait to see some gameplay.

 

[Resilient]

Am I in trouble if I own a ps4, xbone and Wii u? Platinum always makes me feel like a criminal.

 

[Persona7]

Based kamiya

 

[a Master Ninja]

The trailer hints at co-op alright. I need to see gameplay; I'm not sure exactly what kind of game this even is.

 

[Lalalandia]

Kamiya is a boss on twitter, looking forward to hearing more about this

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Eh, wish it was a sequel to Godhand instead. Looked like Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter combined, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Could go either way when we see real gameplay. Gameplay should at least be awesome regardless of the concept.

 

[HoJu]

i'm just really glad that Platinum and Kamiya can still make games like this.
it's amazing, really.

 

[Bullza2o]

Looks good actually, though I'm still not sure what the gameplay would be like. This is like one of the few Xbox One games I might be interested in, and it's mainly due to Platinum making it.

 

[Raw64life]

This and Sunset Overdrive are the only 2 Xbone exclusives that have piqued my interest despite both main characters being pretty douchey.

 

[Bulbasaur]

MonHun by beats by Dre

 

[GuardianE]

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more. We don't know anything about this title yet.

I like how the protagonist retains a playful attitude, even if his voice is a little weird from the tiny clips we've heard.

You got the last 2 reversed. DMC has never sold more than 3 million.

 

[JoeFenix]

This looks like a video game I would like to play!

"YEAHHH! WHAT'S UP?"

 

[Luigiv]

Hmm, not feeling the hype yet. I really want to see actual gameplay.

 

[Benzychenz]

Guess I will buy my first Microsoft console.

Halo collection should be fun.
