Yeah, I liked everything except the headphones. Maybe you can upgrade to a backwards baseball cap later in the game.

Ha, makes sense. I don't keep up with MH, so I often forget Capcom makes those games too, so yeah, they're definitely to blame for this!Person on message board hears "RPG", sees a big dragon and character combat action, immediately posts DRAGONS DOGMA.
Person on message board sees big monsters in some fantasy looking field, immediately spams MONSTER HUNTER.
I blame Capcom for this!
Duckroll's post ^ is most likely the best explanation.

So this is what The Last Guardian would be like if Platinum made it. J/k. 
Looks fantastic, I'm sure the framerate will be ironed out by the time it comes out.

Great trailer ,
game looks awesome
it's like Devil may cry/blood borne coop + The last guardian pet system (what more could I want?)
I'll wait till 2025 when Xbox one is 25 dollars then I'll buy an xbox one and the game for 5 bucks.
Other wise I need to hold myself back from buying anymore consoles, I hardly play both my PS4 and Wii u
Never change gaf

Romance options?
The powers you can use look interesting, and that transformation was cool. I also love when games play with scale like this is. It really is like Kamiya's take on recent RPGs. The only thing I'm not too sure about is that main character, hopefully he's not Kamiya's most annoying character to date.
As far as I'm concerned, Kamiya has a 100% hit rate.
Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, Wonderful 101. A very sterling record in my eyes. I recognize not everyone feels that way, but these are certainly very beloved games across the board.

i can't give specifics as to why, but this does not look interesting to me. nearly every aspect of what was shown feels like a recycled concept from another game and it does not come together to form a cohesive whole, or something new. it feels like a hodge-podge of gaming tropes from about 2008-2012.
Yeah it's not like he made Resident Evil 2, Okami and Viewtiful Joe and whatnot
Yeah... One thing I'm worried about is that PG are not known for being technical geniuses, and this game looks HUGE. I mean, even big studios are struggling with frame-rate and other technical stuff in Open World games, so... .
Lets just wait until the IGN info drops. I'm trying to stay positive about my feelings for Scalebound.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about if you think Bayo is a DMC clone. Also where are the rest of these "DMC clones"? That's only one game.

The combat doesn't look like DD to me either, though, but eh, it's whatever. Scalebound looks nice, and it being an RPG has made me far more excited for it then had it been a typical Platinum action game.the combat and movment look very DD, that where i mostly get the vibes from,
also dragons
I agree.

Love the gameplay but God i hate the main character. He reminds me of this asshole:
lol, he does remind me of Donte, especially the music!
he is a bit more charismatic though.
The game does look a bit slow and early.but promising,

It reminds of Halo CE for some reson.
Looks pretty cool. Definitely need to see more about how the overall game works, though.
If it's trying to be "Dragons May Cry", then I'd need to see more skills in action, and an idea of what the MC's toolset will look like as you progress through the game. If it's trying to be more like Dragon's Dogma, then I'd like to see if there's possibly other "jobs/classes" that the MC could assume which affects how he works with the Dragon.
Just like with when I first saw W101, I'm interested, but I'd like to get a better idea of what I'm in for.

Dosn't look to hot.
But we are talking about PG and Kamiya, this will deliver.

Second half of this demo didn't look quite as exciting, but it was cool how at the end others with different creatures joined him. Is this co-op in boss battles only or full co-op?
Pre alpha gameplay makes some of the comments in here embarrassing.

People being down on this?
Action RPG from Kamiya, looks great. As for framerate, the game is like 14-16 months away.
Yeah it didn't bother me because it was a super early glimpse, i already feel the vibes of massive addiction coming from this game and the coop looks like it could be interesting too.
like monster hunting with freinds
Things are dying too quick in that demo lol
