I think it looks pretty cool. I guess it'll come down to deep it is and how much content it has. Surface appeal is quite decent, though, imo.

Scalebound Gameplay Demo [extended IGN First demo in OP]

Ok let's not get crazy here
sure the combat doesn't looks as good as Bayonetta's or DMC but it 's obviously better and more fun than the witcher 3's combat.

Looks super fun. Can't wait. That run animation has to go though.
Kamiya probably did it on purpose so he can have the fun of dealing with all the abuse he is probably getting on Twitter from Ps4 owners disappointed with the framerate.
Not impressed, but then again, not what I was expecting either.
When I think about Platinum, I think about action games with deep combat mechanics.
This is a RPG and the combat seemed much more simple. It might have some depth to it, but it remains to be seen (it is a pre-alpha).
Depending on how well this goes, I might buy an xbox one.

I kind of wish I could change my vote because I answered with a joke answer but now I want it to be "I hate all of you."

Yeah for real. Scalebound is looking like a step below God of War, which is still faaaar above Witcher 3.

Yup, reminds me about Xenoblade Chronicles too and Final Fantasy XIII on chapter 11, looks absolutely stunning imo and as usual I have to double check if I'm watching the right video when reading all these negative comments. :/

One part of the trailer reminded me of the thorns from Freedom Wars.

Interesting poll. I will say Dragons Dogma except the reason DD was such a masterpeice was due to its combat system that had style and substance. I wonder when we will be able to see the entire combat system for this game.
Different opinions and all that, but... Sheesh!

The Wonderful 101 is the best game this generation for me and Bayonetta 2 is really fantastic so the prospect of a new PG game sounds really great...but I'm not sure how I feel about Scalebound.
Looks like they showed it off too early. The build seems rough, frame rate seems very iffy and the combat seems a bit too simple. Though I imagine it's because it's an Action RPG, games like KH still seem a lot faster and flashier. You could say it's because the guy demoing didn't know what he was doing...but it was Kamiya playing it.
The game has a long time to fix these issues and I trust Kamiya to make something great.

The Multi-Unite feature in W101 was added at the last second by Kamiya without telling anyone and they didn't have time to even really bug test it.
I doubt combat is anything close to locked.

Watched the YouTube vid and bits and pieces of the ign first
I'm not a platinum super fan, but this doesn't look like a platinum combat system. Very generic imo
Is there any direct control over the dragon or its all issuing commands?

Voted for Pac-man.
Well, it seems we'll be able to edit our character, if not I like that he looks like Nero.
Still, I want to see more of this game.

The part when he transformed and hooked onto the head of the monster?

What is with that sub 20 framerate? Unless its just youtube.
Does remind me a bit of dragons dogma combined with Drakengard 3, so thats a good thing, but the guy seriously seems out of place there.

Not sure what i just saw but...i like it!!
Yeah, it's a bizarre mix between Drakengard, Dragon's Dogma, Donte's DmC character (hope we can customize it, but i don't hold high hopes on that...) and some Monster Hunter bits...(that trap/mine...).
At least it seems we can choose our weapons/class? (sorry, i'm yet to watch the extended demo from IGN...) and there seems to be some sort of multiplayer "similar" with the Souls games but with giant dragons as back up?
I don't know...seems rough, but the rough cup of tea of mine

Man that intro part with the dialogue, banter and headphones was hard to watch. I guess not playing a DMC game for a while i forgot how stupid the game is aside form the action. The action seemed slower than other platinum games, but it's too early to know the full extent of the gameplay. Bayonetta and DMC gameplay kind of ruined things I guess.

This looks horrible to me :-/ I'm the most put off by the main character's attitude. Is this what Japanese developers think that a western audience wants out of a main character? Even worse, maybe it actually is. Ugh, I wanted to vommit listening to that guy talk.
To be fair, it is doubtful that he was made without MS's approval.
Visuals look nice, I can live with the character design.
White damage numbers and 4-player co-op make me think there will be a lame XP system in place. I hope it won't be too lame. I mean, Platinum is more likely to get this correct than many.
I'm very interested, but a little more cautious than usual.

it doesnt look anywhere near as good as Dragon Dogma. Lots of time for improvement though.

That dubstep in the demo just totally put me off. Feels like the game is trying too hard to be edgy.

Could it be Platinum Games B team?
Hahaha, goddamn.
Thought bits of Xenoblade (the environment and the British-sounding soldiers in particular) mixed with Devil May Cry, the bow, shock trap, and the mounting bringing Monster Hunter to mind but otherwise far removed from that franchise. Gameplay looks rather loose at this point, not all that fond of not-Donte but don't hate him either. Meh on the dubstep.
Kamiya confirmed B employee at PG.
Scalebound is his banishment room.
The extended footage is very very nice!
Love the design of the rest of the map and the exploration music, it's soothing.
It's really cool how the dragon follows you from the air while you criss cross the forested waterfall-area.
And I actually like the main character - he seems like a positive and happy-go-lucky dude just hanging out with his dragon buddy - something I really enjoy after reading through this thread.
