Scalebound

So I recently heard that the game Scalebound was cancelled and I don't see a real reason why. A lot of people wanted that game to come out and it seemed like everyone was very excited about it. The next thing we know is that Scalebound is cancelled and now
everyone that has been patiently waiting for such a unique game is now highly upset that Microsoft decided to cancel the game. This was a poor decision on Microsoft's part and if Sony decides to scoop this up, then Microsoft is going to start off the year
in a bad way when it comes to games. This just my opinion and I am curious on what is going to be next for Platinum Games.

Scalebound

I just Heard that a title called Scalebound is being canceled or is canceled i am surprised to here this because that was a title that i was really forward too. It was one that a lot of gamers were looking forward to so canceling it in the year it supposed
to come out is an outrage. I just think that Microsoft should continue ScaleBound Production and Not think about the (Scorpio) for a bit it they really want to keep the fans happy they need to keep bringing out new titles instead of a new console. Besides
that the Xbox one S just came out like 6 months ago not even a year yet and they already are wanting to bring out another console. In my opinion They should continue to make new titles for the One Until they get a little more in depth with the Scorpio and
its soft and hardware.

 

Scalebound has been delayed till 2017. What are your most anticipated games for 2016?

Official Scalebound announcement today:

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.

 

It sad when it happens but it seems that's the nature of game development. From what I've read Microsoft and Platinum Games have parted ways and so I'm sure, at some point, they'll work on their own IP and release something in the future. As for its cancellation,
there's many reasons why and I'd imagine a lot of behind the scenes machinations we will not be privy too for legal and privacy reasons.

 

Seriously why is it that Microsoft is so clueless when it comes to their games department. They rely too much on old outdated franchises and they seem super adverse to developing new IP's. It was a smart move to cancel Fable Legends because that franchise
was super stale and a lot of people have come to view Fable 2 and 3 in bad light retrospectively but Scalebound seemed to be a great new idea that I seemed right up my alley as not just another shooter or sports game or whatever. And Microsofts justification
is 3 underwhelming sequels that weren't really that much asked for. Microsoft get your head out of your **** and start investing in a serious games portfolio. I'm a life long xbox gamer but if they don't have at least 3 new ip reveals by the end of e3 this
year I'm switching to Playstation

 

I know right and if Microsoft really does keep going down then Xbox one will become a less popular console than its predecessor and believe me as a person who owns both consoles. I really do like Xbox as same with my ps4 but i mean it really is starting
to boil down to well which console will be getting more of the games and exclusives and if i have to i may as well get rid of Xbox one and keep my ps4 but i am hoping that they can make more exclusives later on as i am patient enough to wait for games but
i really do hope they can come up with something pretty sad really though.

 

Scalebound was one of the major reason why I chose to buy an Xbox over a Playstation. I'm definitely annoyed at this one. There really aren't a lot of good dragon games out there. Scalebound showed a looked promising.

 

The reason is understandable in a way apparently the studio making the game couldnt hit their deadlines and at the end of the day Microsoft is a business set on making money if the company just keeps delaying it it wont be worth it. But don't get me wrong
I NEEDED THIS GAME. I got on board with the xbox one for several reason when it first debuted, scalebound was one of those reasons, a few others to list (fable legends, project spark...) does anyone see where I'm going with this? I have a ton of games linked
to my account but if I don't get some DAMN good exclusives soon I might just cry.

 

What's so screwed up too is that Scalebound looked like a finished product before it was cancelled. Not sure what's going on there between Microsoft and Platinum Games but Halo Wars 2 being the headliner for exclusive content isn't a good sign for 2017.
Sony definitely has them beat in the games department this year with their abundance of exclusive games.

 

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.

 

I agree. Scalebound looked more interesting and fun than any of the first party stuff shown with it. Then, they got Rare, but still no new Battletoads...
