Well, the closest thing they've done to this (based on what very little footage we've seen) would be Okami but even that's quite different, and Okami was based very much around Zelda-esque exploration elements as well.
And I think the reason you don't really see big open world games with that kind of gameplay is that it requires a ton of effort to design combat of that depth and skill ceiling, and that only increases exponentially as the size of the world goes up. Probably the closest two games I can think of to what you're talking about are Dragon's Dogma and Darksiders 2.
I wonder when we're going to see the protagonist in the The Last Guardian using his devil bringer and vorpal sword.

This is did not look impressive at all.
Maybe it's just the frame rate, but the combat looks a fair bit slower than Bayo 2.

A pet? Nero's summon is just the devil trigger with a neat visual effect. It's not something you command on the battlefield.

So a 8 minute gameplay demo has so much hate. People are hard to please these days I guess!
I can't wait for more info to come out on IGN FIRST.
AH YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
gimmie gimmie.
That mini map showed how big that area was... oh man oh man.

You're lucky I'm on my phone...
Visuals looked nice, but it didn't feel like it had that sexy-fast/smooth/flashy PG-combat feel to it. I was expecting more pizzaz. Also was kinda hoping it would be a single-player game (considering none of my friends own an xbone).
Hopefully that comes in time, cause it still has a while in dev. Also the framerate lol.

People might diss me for this...
but...
that character design...
LOOKS BOSS AS FUCK, THOSE HEADPHONES ARE COOL YO!
I'm not even kidding. I rike it. It's unique and different than most bland characters these days. I don't even care if it doesn't make sense or whatever, it's like a slightly cooler Nero and yes, I EVEN LIKED THE MUSIC PLAYING DURING COMBAT.
I can tell why people don't like it, though.

The extended demo ended on a great note, that was pretty exciting.
So that was Kamiya playing? I dunno if he is good at playing his games...
Protagonist seems like Dante more than Donte. Plus, customizable?

Yeah, a extra thing other than the main character. I call them pets. It reminded me of that more than anything, especially the options on the poll.

This game is making me really think about buying an xbox one. I will wait and see.
You're right, his face was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the design :c
4 player coop is gonna be insane btw. Holy shit it probably gonna be more madness then Sunset Overdrive.
True. But much can change. See Quantum Break for example haha.

I enjoyed what I saw during the briefing. Have yet to see the extended demo
Framerate issues aside, which undoubtedly will tidy up before next holiday, I really liked what I saw.

Game doesn't look like my cup of tea, but neither were any of Kamiya's other games.

In a demo on stage you show the best and not "some segment". I expected even more than what was shown^^ But still - It looks great and knowing Kamiya ... He always delivers in the end.
Scalebound looks a lot better than TLG from what we've seen so far in my opinion... Dudebro or not.

I can definitely see how Microsoft meddled in the game design, let me tell you!
I'd agree with both of you if Beats weren't the most overpriced trash headphones ever. Throw on some Sennhesiers, now we're cooking.

Didn't impress me much. But maybe it's just a bad first impression.
I'm finding my initial response to what i've watched as indiference. I can look past the terrible framerate since its still early gameplay. But the design (not only the main character which is abysmal) and how uninteresting it looks to play just makes it hard for me to care. I'll decide closer to completion. But right now it's not for me.
How you climb the enemies in games like Shadow of the Colossus, Dragon's Dogma and Monster Hunter is part of the challenge and fun.
The grapple in Scalebound really dumbs this aspect down imo. Just aim, shoot and voila, you're on the enemy.

It's made by Kamiya and Plantinum Games, it'll be challenging enough

I aint no junior
Taking away my priviledge didn't turn me into a junior
There's no junior behind this tag
people talked shit about Bayo when it was first revealed, Vanquish, MGR (when it got rebranded to a platinum game), W101
i used to do it too and then i realized i ended up loving them all, so ive just decided to trust platinum and kamiya by this point
this is gonna be great when it comes out

So, I watched the extended trailer of Scalebound and I really have to negative points that'll probably be in the final game:
- The main character, I just don't like his design. I don't particular dislike the dialogue.
- The music when he is in fight. It sucks.
Everthing else looks promising.

Is that really what you thought? I mean other than having a companion what part of this made you think of the last guardian?
Agree. They guy looks and sounds like a douche. I am digging the big ass dragon, though.
