Dat feel when you bought an Xbone for Scalebound.
Get better Kamiya! You're the best!
Can i please please get the original context to this
Its funny hearing about this after watching TheGamingBritShow most anticipate game of 2017 lol.
They're hanging out together apparently in the depths of developmental hell....

Sure, they are significantly paring back their single player lineup, to go after a team specialized on single player JRPG.
Scorpio is going to be a lukewarm product launch. I don't think it's going to turn their fortunes. The original console is in a distant second and this is a premium-priced premium console in an age where power doesn't seem to be a big priority.
People talk about Scorpio on GAF like it's the second coming of Christ. I don't see how that plays.
It's a big blow to the Xbox line up. Honestly there's a serious lack of single player story driven games. Well, exclusive ones at least. Everything is literally MP focused. Forza 7, State of Decay, Sea of Thieves, Crackdown...(and I've heard Crackdown isn't going too hot either, though nothing as bad as this).
Unless they have a bunch of first party studios secretly tucked away somewhere (which they don't that I know of), I genuinely struggle to think of what surprises they could have at E3 *as of right now*. Halo 6 is to be expected, and I don't see publishers playing ball much anymore with 3rd party exclusives unless Microsoft gives the Xbox division a huge budget to throw cash around, which I highly doubt. Their major first party IP are on a decline with Halo doing less than before and Gears 4 not selling that well at all relatively speaking (not good enough to sustain a huge studio with that many workers and budget).
What's happening now is the exact opposite of what Xbox fans seemed to want out of a Phil spencer leadership.
I remember when he became head of Xbox and everyone was saying how there'll be tons of new games, but they're still coasting on announcements from 2013-2014 and in that time, games have been cancelled, multiple studios closed including Lionhead...
As a big Xbox fan since day one, I'm not very hopeful for the future. Scorpio won't do anything without software to push it heavily.
I wonder how much this had to do with Platinum working on Every Single Japanese Game Ever lately.
Maybe they bit off more than they could chew.

Yeah its freaky. I was just browsing youtube, saw the new video from gamingbrit earlier, he expressed concern about the project and hoped it wasn't canceled.
I literally finish watching the video, flip to Gaf and its canceled
What are the chances that this have appears on a different console or even on X1 but from a different publisher?
Phantom Dust
Sea of Thieves
State of Decay 2
Crackdown 3
Halo Wars 2
They have five exclusives coming up in 2017 at this moment, FIVE.
I'm not counting small downloadable titles here, but still, you get the point.
I had really hoped for more since the phil spencer era started.
MS has a feeling for picking shitty devs for their exclusives.
god DAMN
"hey sorry we cancelled scaleboBUT LOOK AT ALL THIS OTHER COOL STUFF"
"fuck that game"
All these people saying fuck MS when it sounds like Platinum were the ones who couldn't deliver.
The pirate game is next

I can't see myself buying any Microsoft console in the near future... they say one thing and completely drop support
