Microsoft has no luck when it comes to branching out with different developers.
I was never blown away by what they've shown, but I wanted to see what they were able to pull off.
Why is everyone asking if he is 12 years old? Were you all jerks at that age? I was nice.
Thread is moving really fast so I'm not sure if this has been posted but according to a writer for Persona Central who had also heard of the cancellation, Kamiya is taking time off from Platinum.
But they didn't.So yeah, PG knows how to get shit done.
Why?
Their track record speaks for itself in most other work for hire scenarios.
They get it done on time, on spec and on budget.
They're a reliable studio to come in and get something to release.
Whatever break down they have had with MS is entirely speculative, but they still have, you know, every other game they've managed to get out on time with other publishers as their track record.

Saddening news if this is true.
What if Kamiya eventually works with Taro Yoko on a new Drakengard as a substitute?
This is a huge win for me TBH
(Since I've never bought a MS console, never will)
Platimun will probably never, ever make any exclusives with M.S ever again.
So any if not all Platinum games will go to Sony.
It's a great win for me and Sony.
* Finger's crossed PS4 get this exclusive -just change the name.
Was expecting the Scorpio would bring this game up to par.
Is Scorpio going to launch this year, and if so, with what?
Wow, terrible. This game has had an interesting development. I heard it was shopped around and other publishers said no. I wonder if that's typical.
This seems to represent a shift in MS' strategy towards the games software business. They seem to be cutting a lot of the fat and getting lean in terms of how much internal 1st/2nd party software they are producing. We've seen it with Sony too, maybe just not as dramatically, but their output is definitely less than the PS2/3 days. I'm sure dev costs have a lot to do with it, but it just doesn't seem like these big companies want the risks associated with owning and operating/funding as much big 1st party software anymore. The market is changing and people who are so used to 1st party games leading the way are having trouble adapting.
Not that better with first party tbh.Damn, MS is having a real rough gen when it comes to third party exclusives...

How fucking hilarious would it be if Nintendo picked up the funding for Scalebound and made it Switch exclusive? Lol. Meltdowns galore.
This game was suppose to be Platinum's next big venture outside of the Bayonetta formula they've been stuck on for 7 years.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Congrats MS, as a consolation prize you own a name to a game that will never release! Such a valuable asset to own after 4 yearsYeah, because they want to piss away all the money they spent for years and not even get the IP.

*unplugs Xbox One*
*removes batteries from controller*
*takes two games off shelf*
*loads up ebay*
Good fucking riddance.
I thought patches weren't necessary4K patches for Halo, Gears, and Forza
It was definitely announced with Matrick at the E3 before the Xbone releasedHuge blow to their 2017 lineup.
How is Mattrick even related? Wasn't this Spencer's baby?
Crackdown 3 might be next on the chopping block.
They showed that concept trailer without the team even making it. Shopper around for different teams at the time,wanted an AAA game on like an A game budget all rumors of course I believe someone probably has a linkI never heard these claims of unreasonable demands. Do we know what they supposedly were?
Oh no... Please be OK Kamiya.
Like I said, Kamiya his putting all his soul in his projects, I'm really sad for him personally.

If this is really cancelled, what the hell does Microsoft have for 2017?
They positioned Scalebound to be their big new IP exclusive for 2017. Hell it looked like it was gonna get the majority of their marketing this year.
Now it looks like just Crackdown 3, Forza 7, and (maybe) Cuphead this year.
Unless they pull something out their ass for Fall 2017 at E3 it's gonna be pretty barren in terms of Exclusives for the XB1.

Chances of Bound Scales being anounced as a Switch exclusive? Lol
Huge blow to their 2017 lineup.

I wonder why Platinum pressured their staff like that.
I'm guessing the fault lies in both parties. Microsoft for probably insisting and demanding changes to cater to a western market and platinum for not being able to make those changes in a satisfactory and timely manner.
I'm a big Xbox fan but man Microsoft has gotta stop with the corporate, focus-testing'esque development of their games. I want to buy first party xbox games but nearly everything this generation has been underwhelming, pretty safe, or has been cancelled.
Let the developers make the game they want, and not the game Microsoft wants.
LMAO.This is a huge win for me TBH
