Scalebound

Official Scalebound announcement today:
platinumgames.com/.../an-update-from-the-scalebound-team

I am wondering how Quantum Break will do, as they are trying to blend video clips (20 or so minutes at a time) and an action game. Footage looks good and the action is appealing.

Scalebound revived? no? too soon? :'(

Rune Factory Series or Scalebound

I fully understand if the game was not coming along. I can understand if the game looked like it could never be viable. But they did show some promising stuff that looked fairly decent not a real long time like e3 2016. I would think that a better thing
would be a delay. Sure, you could argue that these things cannot take forever. The thing is, I have heard that MS was pushing some tough deadlines. IF, big IF, that is the case MS needed to back up a little and give this team some more time with less pressure.
They need more diversity in games.

Take my case. I am an Xbox fan. I have way more time on Xbox than PC and then very occasionally PS4/WiiU/etc. That has changed now. I may not have been big on Scalebound but I see that I can get the 2-3 MS games on my PC. And then PC/PS4 the rest until
Switch which will also get some game time. I am done with the Xbox console for a while. I would take some real new IP that pull me in. And I could see those being 2018-2019 out. Some maybe even requiring Scorpio. Sure, you could argue that many games
are Xbox/PS4/PC. But in that case I would be nuts at this point to buy them on Xbox the way I see it. I have the option so just buy them either on PS4 if I want the best console version or get PC. I had ME:A ordered for the Xbox. Now, that is PC. Cancelled
Halo Wars 2 disc version, probably just get it on PC, and will pick up Sea of Thieves and Crackdown 3 on PC. That leaves all console gaming to PS4 for a long while. Sold one of my Xbox One consoles. Will sell 2 others and keep 1 of the S models for 4k Blu-ray.

Really I just cannot understand the path. Like I said, Scalebound was not on my list. If just seems to me that MS has a lack of commitment to anything other than Gears, Halo, Forza. I see Crackdown might hit this year but we have not seen a lot from that
at all for a long while. Still wondering if Sea of Thieves ends up being this year or not. Given that all games from MS are supposedly cross buy I have to wonder about Scorpio. It would be easy to make Scorpio an Xbox branded PC. The PC comes with a fixed
configuration sure. But it also has an Xbox dash interface. Then they could offer a desktop option so you could actually go to the desktop. No reason that could not be a thing and given that the UWP would make this work I just wonder if they could go that
route.

Why not even have this Windows/Xbox store work on all titles. You buy on the Windows Store and it works on either device on all games. It would be a platform. You make for Xbox and it works with Xbox PC/Xbox Console.

I agree with you guys and Scalebound was one of the reasons I also bought an Xbox One, and now I look and see no exclusives like it...and almost no exclusives at all.

Microsoft: Why, why, why would you guys cancel an exclusive when you really, really need them?! Yes, those of us who do not buy your machines for Halo or Forza do exist. We buy your machines for exclusives. Dead Rising 3 got me to buy and Xbox One, and I have
preordered and paid full-price for Dead Rising 4 and Gears of War 4. Next on my list is Raiden V.

Microsoft, you could be making more money off me (and others with the same buying habits) if you actually had games for us to buy. I'll out it in caps so that hopefully someone in marketing will see it:

IF WE ACTUALLY HAD GAMES TO BUY FOR XBOX ONE, YOU'D MAKE MORE MONEY OFF US.

MORE GAMES FOR US, MORE MONEY FOR YOU.

EXCLUSIVES EQUAL EVEN MORE MONEY.
