Scalebound Gameplay Demo [extended IGN First demo in OP]

What game does Scalebound most remind you of?


Results are only viewable after voting.
IGN demo looked a lot better. Enemies still died way too quickly, so I'm guessing he was overleveled for the area he was in. Lack of lock-on is annoying.

Looks amazing. Of course it plays rough and the animation is a bit sluggish, but the potential is there to be something really fulfilling to play. And the fact that its RPG makes it even more awesome.

Don't like the colour palette though, too much green going on.

I did not like that MC at all. That attitude is so off-putting.
The combat felt really slow compared to his previous games. As soon as he transformed it felt a lot better.
Not sure what I feel overall.

The multiplayer dragons looked different - I wonder if you can alter your dragon.

Why does everything have to be RPG and or open now? What's wrong with a straight action game? I'm dissapointed...

Not what I expected or wanted from Kamiya.

Right, it's not like Platinum has done a lot of straight action games or anything over the years?

Aside from being a bit janky and frame drops here and there i don't see what's not to like. Men this game looks amazing, why the dislike?

I think I just found my reason to buy an Xbox One! Black Friday here I come.

I'm slowly #BuildingTheList of reasons to buy an Xbox One, and I'm right there with you that I think this Black Friday will finally mark me owning both platforms in a generation, and not just one. Weirdly enough, I think the game I want to play most is Sunset Overdrive... Little bit surprised we haven't heard anything about if they're making another one of those, considering how much Microsoft seemed to be getting behind the first one. I guess it did come out less than a year ago, but when we have 2 Halo games announced, it's hard not to question it.

Really is a stunning game, also looked like a tutorial level, Kamiya has his standards, the fighting will be God tier.

i liked the stage demo, but the extended demo just wore on. i'm sure the final game will have more to it and there will be more challenge, but what was shown seems extremely shallow.

I think there is a point in mentioning it. How many examples can you give of a game having a drastically better framerate at release?

Is this a serious question? Almost every game is optimized, including framerate, in the months leading up to release. We're more than a few months out.

If the Xbox people can put their money where their mouth is and actually buy this...please, Xbox gamers...don't let this be another sunset overdrive situation (great game, abysmal sales)


(P.s. I don't have Xbox and only got ps4 and don't ever intend to get one...just happy you guys got a cool exclusive although you Xbox people really need to buy more non-FPS..just sayin...)

Yeah, and they were great.

Now we're getting yet another open world arpg. It's not like that genre is hurting for representation like action games are.

Yes, lets have less games instead of more because there are already a fair number of games.

Geeze.
