I know it's fucking ridiculous. That post will be quoted a lot there's even another post I just quoted that mentions it. Like people are so so fast to believe anything just to take a side.Its all over the thread. Lots of people all over the thread are already talking about how it was damn MS meddling in beloved Kamiya's work that caused all of this.
When the actual people who know about this stuff, Jason, Shinobi, and EG have never stated this.
This a developer that has made a MP online versus brawler a co-op game is hardly crazy.
Regardless, this doesn't belong in this thread.
Great, so the only thing Microsoft had to even get me to buy that POS install box (Don't get me wrong I also think the PS4 is a POS install box. I want my games to run not to be installed, and I know that isn't a popular opinion, on a console ).... get's cancelled.
The headphone haters can rejoice. MORE ultra muscular dudebro shooters for them with no couch MP and more Online MP where they can go "that's gay.. huhuhuhu" and think it is a hilarious gay joke. (As a gay man, I love good gay jokes, but not when Dudebros consider that the word or a stereotype is the wholejoke ).
Way to drive of people AGAIN MS! Just like you did with the Xbox crowd moving to the 360.. (Xbox had a lot of great exclusives)... and the few Japanese Xbox fans you had with the 360... by making the latter half of that console into "DUDEBROK FUCK YEAH!" gaming.
Sorry just pissed of at the decision. It is like MS WANTS to lose.
Maybe it is all the activist shareholder Value act jerking about to get them to drop the XBox brand, as otherwise MS is just ... too...bloody... stupid!.
That is the thing...so many here on Gaf have been shitting on the game, many named it a game in the bomb thread like you posted. MS cancels the game and then all of sudden it is a "why?, WTF?" type of thing. If the game was not going good and the team was behind schedule, why keep funding something that may just not pan out?
I mean look at how many people here on Gaf were dissing on the game, but now that it is cancelled it all of a sudden "evil MS", "Phil sucks" "Xbox is doomed" type of shit.
For a game so many did not give a shit about, that many thought was shit to begin with, it sure is one of the most popular games now that it is cancelled.
don't worry guys tecmo will call up platinum and have them work on ninja gaiden 5.
Shit like this is fucking dangerous. That is not what happened and that tweet has nothing to do with it. But people will start quoting this and eventually actually believing it when it's completely baseless speculation pulled from nothing.
I want to say we heard about multiplayer very early on with Scalebound. I don't agree with that speculation at all.
Lol calm down man how u know its spencers fault? You better chill before he catches you on the street and pulls out that Draco.Man MS have been a really piece of shit this gen. I laugh at all of the "Phil Spencer is the saviour" fucking lying piece of shit. What a waste, can't wait to not buy more Halo, Gears and Forza, those IP's got stale years and years ago. Same recycled shitty games with no imagination and no risk.
Ah, here's what I was looking for
July 2015: "Those shits at MS...are they fucking with me?"
So, let's set a timeline HEAVY with speculation. Game was announced at E3 2014 without much notice. It skipped E3 2015, but showed up at Gamescom that year in August with an announcement of four-player co-op, which was shown off with a much rougher game in E3 2016's conference. The game was then cancelled soon after.
My guess is that, in July, Kamiya was told he had to rejigger the game into a four-player co-op thing. There were never any hints he wanted to make the game a Monster Hunter-like, but I am guessing people in charge of money were expecting him to do so. It gets announced, shown off, and the response is tepid. Changing tides at Microsoft, a desire to free up the UE4 team they put together to work with Kamiya, and being unhappy with the state of the game lead to it being cancelled.
If my guess is correct, that's really sad.
It's literally half the list...Uhh, almost half of the games on that PS4 image aren't exclusive.
This one.Which is?
I may be misremembering or mashing unrelated/unconfirmed things together, but I think I remember something along the lines of MS wanting to present Scalebound by having him go all the way to Gamescom just to say a few lines and introduce a video for the game, when he wanted to present actual, live gameplay, as played by himself. (The latter being what happened.)
I seem to remember him being upset at the idea of being on-stage as an MS prop.
I do know that he commented on Scalebound being the only game he worked on where he didn't choose the title. MS chose it. And he was also annoyed at the promo art for the game at E3 2014, which was also their decision. Beyond that we don't officially know how much MS got involved in the game creatively, but it sounds like they didn't have complete freedom at all times.

Im getting scorpio cause MS still have Halo and Gears and forza and everything else i want to play. Im getting it for the same reason i got the Pro. Same games, but better.
I mean its unfortunate that it was cancelled but if it was, theres definitely a good reason for it. They dont go and cancel good games for the hell of it. It probably wasnt very good/fun.
Uhh, almost half of the games on that PS4 image aren't exclusive.
I would flip out if that happened. Platinum working on a Ninja Gaiden game is a match made in heaven.don't worry guys tecmo will call up platinum and have them work on ninja gaiden 5.
The pirate game is next
They should sell the entire gaming division its clear that theyre focus is elsewhere.
OK, this is really funny.Kamiya walks into Sony HQ and says "I got an idea for Lair 2"

Did you want them to give the hard drives that the game was stored on a Viking funeral and livestream it?They really put effort into that PR statement./s
I would warn against rushing to the judgment of "MS = big corporate meanies", "Platinum = wunderkind darlings".
Wow I remembered a tweet I saw from him and found it. He saw it coming.

Most of their projects since MGSR are borderline mediocre anyway, and that's a shame considering that Platinum is formed by Capcom's former top-tier developers. Nonetheless, i hope that they deliver something special with Nier.
don't know what MS is thinking with moves like this and they pretend to release a new console this year ? no games no console
How about you use the back button created for that purpose?
Nothing of value was lost.
Now watch Nintendo revive it for Switch just like they did with Devil's Third. :lol Tragic. ��
What is this even supposed to mean?Wow I remembered a tweet I saw from him and found it. He saw it coming.
