We're about to find out
Well, the pic I posted isn't theirs so I guess I don't need to credit them?
You can't even be friendly.

Nope, W101 is a Nintendo owned IP.

I dobt think ip ownership is something platinum cares about. They are generally one and done developers.
I think you'll be okay
With so many Xbox ips going multi or to PC or w/e it's good to MS has a few true XB1 exclusives coming though.

It may more be that IP ownership is not something they have the ability to negotiate (plus frankly lots of their stuff bombs so it might not be worth whatever they'd give up by keeping the IPs). They always go through publishers for funding, and securing the rights to a new IP funded by a publisher is pretty rare. Some big exceptions this year though--Titanfall (I think) and Sunset Overdrive. But I think that's still an exception to the rule.
If only Microsoft had some way to benefit from games coming to Microsoft® Windows™

It was already known MS owned it anyway, the web page for it on the Platinum site said Copyright of MS

Bout the only way I'll buy anything Xbox related again.
Revive some old Rare IP and do it correctly.

MS will port the game to the PC themselves if they think there is potential to make money, it's one of the good distinctions they have from their competition.

It's not like they want to own any of their original IP, they never sell very well 
Until, Bayonetta 2, right? Did that do okay?

Rising's been their most successful.

Which policy?yeah it's Microsoft's
I can't wait to see Scalebound. One last policy change MS, one last thing and the XBO is mine. PLEASE do it before Scalebound at least
Probably the indie parity clause.

With the number of exceptions we've seen with the release window requirement for indie releases, is it basically a "mea culpa" announcement you're waiting on? I've been surprised Microsoft hasn't said as much for the sake of PR.
Also, I'm in the same boat. I can't wait to see actual gameplay. There aren't many devs that have my ear like Platinum.

Original IP? I am sure a Platinum game with the title Call of Duty would sell well too.
Shit, I continually find that we have similar opinions. And not entirely 'getting' PG games is not all that common on GAF.
Having said that, I don't get many arcade character action games. In fact, I can't think of one I've ever liked, so that might be more to do with it.

I don't even think it showed up in NPD.

This is the only XB1 game that has my interest. I love Platinum, and it looks like an RPG involving dragons. I love dragons.

Looks like Devil MoHun to me.

That'd be fine, too.

I hope it's an RPG. I can play character action games, if they are basically RPGs. Then there's a larger aim outside the monotonous combat.

Can't wait to see exactly what this game is.

you will all be xbox owners when scalebound/phantom dust/(whatever rare is doing) i don't know how anyone will be able to resist unless they both somehow become garbage but MS track record is pretty solid so far.
yeah it's Microsoft's

weren't you getting one back when horizon launched?
Why would this be a surprise? Platinum is not into the development of New IPs, they are into being a kick @ss dev studio that does mercenary work for large Publishers on their IPs.
If anything, it's rather late for MS to be filing this, so I'm going to guess this is not actually that recent (not sure what Priority means in context, but it says it's from March 2014).
