8BitChimp's Matt Mitchell says, "As the fall season approaches, I find myself in the opposite position of most gamers. Not many of the upcoming games interest me, with the exception of Far Cry 4 and Sunset Overdrive. I never got into Halo or Assassin’s Creed and nothing else strikes me as something that I need to buy day one. Having said that, one game caught my eye when it was announced over the summer, Scalebound."
Hideki Kamiya is still interested in developing Scalebound, after the PlatinumGames and Microsoft action game was cancelled back in 2017.
He's been begging for the past three years. That ship has long sailed. Besides, Phil's a fake. When's the last time he delivered on a game the fans asked for? Still waiting on him to greenlight KI4.
@8bit
Yeah I mentioned that below. Although in comparison concord was a bigger failure.
I mean I'm all for it... I'd buy it for PS5 since Xbox is doing these multiplatform releases now
Well, I vastly prefer physical versions of games, and I can't do that with my Series S... sooooooo assume what you will
Scalebound was my reasoning for buying and Xbox one. Legit my biggest let down last gen
Same here. That was going to be the game I'd buy a Xbox One for back in the day. It'd be good if they did revive it and improve on what they had at the time.
Seems odd to be asking for it now that he left Platinum Games. He'll be busy with Okami 2 for a number of years, does he expect to develop the game at Clovers studio now? Would they be picking up where they left off, or starting over again? Any of the previous team members, or just him?
I doubt Phil would fund it again, but if so, then that would be good news, also fund a new Banjo as well as Conker games while you're at it. I miss Conker!
doesn't seem odd at all, he'd want work and that game even though it suffered some bad press with the cancellation and stuff is still something that people want to see (i think)
As a wise man once said: what be will, be will, and sometimes games just get canceled, whether it’s due to publisher meddling, a lack of funds or the creative vision simply not panning out.
Eight Days for me
Really would have enjoyed a buddy cop game with a Lethal Weapon like tone.
The only one that really bothered me was when Sony wouldn't fund Days Gone 2. That announcement made me literally feel nauseous. I felt sick in the guts. That's the first time Sony had done something that actually physically hurt me lol. I'm still bummed that there won't be a Days Gone 2.
I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles
The cancellation of Rainbow Six Patriots, Alice Asylum, and Scalebound, among others, have hit players and fans like a truck over time.
Advent Rising was planned to be a trilogy, and we never got parts 2 and 3.
Also wish THPS 10 was never canceled back in 2008. They were releasing the games at too fast a pace and just needed to slow it down instead of abandon the series entirely to make endless Guitar Hero games.
Stupid Activision executives.
My biggest "disappointment" for me, will always be Kojima's original MGS Rising from E3 2010.
The reveal trailer will always top my Gaming Expo highlights list, followed by MGS5 Ground Zeroes reveal at PAX 2013 and God of War reveal at E3 2016.
It looked soo good and cool. My heart sank when the whole Platinum's Revengeance thing got announced.
My 2nd disappointment is another Kojima, the Silent Hills.
3rd is tie b/w Rainbow 6: Patriots and the original Ghost Recon Future Soldier 2010 version.
4th is Unreal Tournament 4/2014
5th is Half Life Return to Ravenholm
(Dis)Honorable mentions: Delta Force Angel Falls, Brothers in Arms: Furious 4, Fallout Van Buren, Capcom's Deep Down, Original Duke Nukem Forever 2001 version, Prey 2, Command & Conquer: Generals 2, Timesplitters 4, Alice: Asylum, Mercenaries 3, KOTOR3, Star Wars 1313, StarCraft: Ghost, Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun, Whore of the Orient, Fable Legends, Star Wars Project Ragtag and maybe Agent?
Half Life 2 Episode 3 should top my list, but I still believe it'll happen. You know what might break the gaming internet and steal some of GTA 6's thunder? If Valve just posts '3' in any of their social account.
I love Rising Revengeance, but I would have loved to see MGS: Rising, where we got to see Raiden's body destroyed at Area 51, and play some portions of MGS 4 from Raiden's perspective.
Good pick.
Yes I played it long ago. Its kind of like Mass Effect, years before Mass Effect. You have to make choices which permanently affects the story.
Near the end of the game you have a bunch of super power abilities, I remember a shockwave stomp attack which wrecked enemies.
It was rushed out unpolished, so it had a lot of framerate issues, but I did end up having fun with it. Been over 15 years since I played it, so my memory is fuzzy, but I do remember I was looking forward to a sequel which never came.
We need scalebound, Alice asylum, rainbow 6 patriots, battlefront 3, and half life episode 3 plz 🙏 if not official devs, fans make those games a reality do what cd project red dev said I have to look up the article but if something can't happen themselves then it's up to the fans to make it ourselves.
I played Alice: Madness Returns a couple years ago and it blew me away. What an amazing game and it still holds up. When EA said no to Alice Asylum I was so mad. EA also said something like "Alice is an important IP to us" Yeah, right an important IP that you do nothing with. License it out so we can get that 3rd game from American McGee.
Interesting and pretty solid list but I would day it's Star Wars 1313 that hurts the most in terms of Star War games.
All of them! But none more than Agent for me, how good a rockstar espionage game could have been! 😭
The getaway too!
From the E3 trailer, this is probably the game I'm most excited about. I think it'll be great, but that techno battle music was just horrible, just like that FF13's music, it's for girls.
built by platinum , directed by devil may cry director and they're focused on innovation not graphics . now that's a system seller , if im gonna buy an X1 ill get it because of this one *_*
The only thing we have about this game is that teaser which featured two creatures battling each other which reminded of that Jurassic Park III's battle between Spino and T-Rex. Oh, and the main concept, a guy mutating himself into different creatures... well, for now it's too ambiguous for me. We need some gameplay, not CGI trailers.
Anyway, hopefully enough Xbox One owners won't let to flop another game from Platinum like The Wonderful 101 on Wii U.
The only game announced at the show I did not have much interest in they lost me at dragons.
I recently watched the trailer for this game, despite it being all CGI, the promise behind it looks epic. This is a step in the right direction, especially if the game delivers and is a true exclusive.
