Something bad is potentially happening. Someone has to be blamed. I think the blame is on the developer. I don't doubt for a second Microsoft provided them with the necessary resources.
give it to Sony, they don't abandon games that ran into a bit of a trouble
Kamiya hasn't tweeted for 11 days so something could definitely be wrong.
Quantum Break and ReCore are out on PC.
Microsoft just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Kamiya fans (I'm an expert), but expecting tons of funding for poor selling games is a huge part of it. It's not like it is with other devs where you can become successful by having a marketable concept. If you cancel a Kamiya game you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is that Kamiya's dozen fans, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase an Xbox One, nor will they purchase any of Microsoft's games on PC. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Microsoft has alienated like 12 or or so people with this move.
Microsoft, publicly apologize and uncancel Scalebound for Xbox One or you can kiss your business goodbye.
What input has MS had in this game other than funding? Do we know? Or are we just saying "Fuck Microsoft" with no real rationale?
Exactly, and the official site also works https://www.scaleboundgame.com/
Time for Sony to buy the rights and fund them and help them wrap it up. Send in Sony Japan to fix this mess.
Sony will take the risk, gladly.
People thinking Nintendo is going to spend a single cent on this are being idiotic. Not sure why Sony would bother either.
But what if he has a capable PC?Console exclusive. We don't count PC.

Given the reaction from both the demo and trade show demos, I highly doubt that game turns out bad. At best it's simply "good".
Kotaku jumping to conclusions? YOU DON'T SAY!!
lol welp closed the thread. they just moved the site.
Maybe the one jumping to conclusions is you.

Let's put it in perspectiveSo Vanquish 2 is just a distant dream ?
Lol...you're crazy if you think Nintendo is going to fund this shit. What's the announcement going to be? "You know that terrible game that Microsoft canceled and looked terrible every time it was shown off? Well, now it's a Switch exclusive!"
Soo....I'm confused. What website did MS take down?
The official website and the store page are still working perfectly for me.
What am I missing?
Based on what exactly?
Yea, heard it's been canned. Super rough development, milestones missed, payments stopped. Kamiya stressed as hell.
Who's willing to bet MS will put "Scorpio" in the PR.
This is Kamiya game too wow, thats a lot of dev time wasted
Also killed No Man's Sky.Killed Scalebound and Verendus, when will he stop!
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.
Fuck. This is just sad, was really looking forward to this game.Shinobi confirmed this. Development was going badly and Platinum was missing deadlines
I'm just wondering what they believe an interesting portfolio for the upcoming Scorpio would look like.
I mean, even shinier cars in Forza 7 sure are nice but that can't be it, can it? With Halo and Gears not pulling the numbers they used to... what's left?
What input has MS had in this game other than funding? Do we know? Or are we just saying "Fuck Microsoft" with no real rationale?
They're far too stubborn to leave the market.
Not to play too much defense for Platinum, but milestones are variable.Shinobi confirmed this. Development was going badly and Platinum was missing deadlines
that like... EXACTLY what I can picture them doing. nintendo doesn't make sense.
One of signs a game bombed is if it sees massive price reduction like Wonderful 101. That didn't happen with Bayo 2.
