Ah crapbaskets. And I was gonna set aside some cash for the Xbox One Scorpio for this. ;_;.
when several senior members of the development team were forced to take a month away from the pressure of the project's heavy workload.
These project members then returned, but Scalebound was now behind schedule. With continuing issues surrounding the game's engine and overdue deadlines, the decision was made that the project could no longer continue.
Well another good track added to Shinobi and KotakuI dunno man I have Shinobi in my phone tagged as known liar
I mean, partly true but it's also true that a lot of Platinum Games are garbage.I'm sure it will be good, but if history is anything to go by gamers will buy the next shallow open world game instead. Platinum has a history of mechanically rich games, the industry would be poorer without them. I hope they can survive.
I said earlier in the thread, but maybe it was the shift to Unreal Engine 4 that was key in development issues. If that transfer went smoothly you'd expect they'd be using UE4 for Nier: Automata too, but they aren't.
Kind of funny that Spencer the saviour managed to have a worse track record regarding Games compared to the much hated Mattrick.
So they took Microsoft's money to work on other projects, or am I reading it wrong?
So Vanquish 2 is just a distant dream ?

Eurogamer confirms. Cancelled.
Development of Xbox One exclusive Scalebound has ceased after more than four years.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Eurogamer that Microsoft and developer Platinum Games have parted ways on the project, and that work concluded before the end of 2016.
This tallies with a just-published Kotaku report which states the game is currently in trouble, and possibly cancelled.
Scalebound was last seen in public back at Gamescom 2016 in August. Since then, the relationship between Microsoft and Osaka-based developer Platinum Games dramatically soured.
Work on the game took a serious knock last autumn, Eurogamer sources say, when several senior members of the development team were forced to take a month away from the pressure of the project's heavy workload.
These project members then returned, but Scalebound was now behind schedule. With continuing issues surrounding the game's engine and overdue deadlines, the decision was made that the project could no longer continue.
It's unclear whether Scalebound could still be revived by Platinum, but as we understand it, work on the project as we know it has now concluded.
OT, but what do you mean by the Verendus bit?Killed Scalebound and Verendus, when will he stop!

Do you get my dislike for Spencer now, Spencer believers? Do you fucking get it?
Not seeing the problem.
Not all games deserved to be finished.
I'm a Platinum fan, so I was optimistic about Scalebound, but I've seen the same videos as everybody else. The game just never looked like a Platinum game.

Take the dragon tech and apply it to Drakengard 4.
I hope
well we have this:
no idea what kind of insight Sneakers has though.
Without rationale? Microsoft has a giant graveyard of amazing studios they've completely and utterly fucked over throughout the years. There are few companies I trust less and I fully expect that they've shit the bed again.
Remember this is a publisher so toxic that Bungie took all their royalty money from the immensely successful Halo series and *bought themselves* to get the fuck away from Microsoft. When has that ever happened? This is just 1 example of many.

Sony should pick it up. They don't care about missing deadlines lol.
