Haha,
These games couldnt be more different from each other.Anyway, why not both?

@Mikeslemonade
What would the sales of these games have any relevance to what you would prefer.

Both! ; )

Since we're at it, let's compare uncharted 10 to Halo 15.

Agreed. I enjoyed the Bloodborne alpha and I'm looking forward to the release.

I'm looking forward to seeing gameplay from Scalebound but know very little about it.

The websites name is ign so it's definitely looking for easy hits

while these 2 games are not comparable ..and i wished i could play both ..i go for Bloodborn , FromSOftware s games are so solid and well made that are absolute immersive experiences. Scalebound has not showed smthing yet and Platinum isnt known always for state of the art games (but in gameplay are always 10/10) and usually when Japn devs are occupied with Xbox dont show the same dedication as for their native companies (Sony ,nintendo

Let me just echo what everyone is saying. The games are two very different genres. It is a silly article to get hits, but I suspect the die-hards will be fighting over them.

LOL. The funniest part is that this isn't even the real IGN. They're just using the IGN name to get easy hits, then they come out with clickbait like this. And WTF is "ovh"?

they love it but hope both are good and does well.

Why choose? Get both systems!

If you have to choose one, i'd personally go with Bloodborne given its awesome roots.

@master

Yeah,you have every reason not to consider scalebound but for me i've played almost every game kamiya has made i.e resident evil2, bayonetta,Okami, Viewtiful joe, Devil may cry,Vanquish, Mgs:r even the wonderul 101(at my friends crib) and i've loved them all..I own all those games too with the exception of wonderful 101.

Kamiya has such talent and for me its about the developer behind the game. With scalebound kamiya is trying to do something new, including dragons in an open world fantasy setting is a big plus.I'm a fan of fantasy adventure games.i like dragons in games and with Kamiya at the helm its a no brainer.. he also talks about building a relationship with your dragon and that's a concept i like in games too..its the reason i wanted to play the last guardian so bad, its why i love ico and shadow of the collosus too.

I think more people will feel differently once MS&Platinum show gameplay next year..I've also had the priviledge of chatting with 2MS devs working on the project and though no concrete info was given to me they seem pretty excited about the project,all i got was that its going to be a huge game,its going to be different from other platinum titles,MS is working very closely with platinum and regarding the visuals one of the devs told me he would let me be the judge of that (after the gameplay reveal next year) and another said they chose UE4 for so many reasons....didn't know what to make of it all but it got me even more hyped.

"Kamiya has such talent and for me its about the developer behind the game. "

I played many of his games before and my favourites were DMC, Vanquish and Bayonetta. However even though the trailer looks interesting it isnt indicative of the gameplay the game will have. Even great developers can make turds every once in a while. I love the games that Naughty Dog makes but without seeing some gameplay from Uncharted 4 i cant decide if ill enjoy the game or not. Same goes for Mass Effect 4 i loved the series on XB1 but i have no idea if ill like the 4th one or not without seeing some gameplay first.

I apologize for sounding like a jerk but i really cant decide if will enjoy a game without seeing some gameplay first. This is one of the main reasons why i love streaming on twitch so much.

@Christocolus

I agree both games should be great, and are from great developers, but in the case of Platinum they're once again putting their IP's on a platform that isn't suited for type of games.

1. Japanese games don't do well on Xbox in JP. The best selling JP games on 360 barley broke the 200k mark.

2. I don't feel like looking this up, but I think all their games have sold better on PS when the consoles had near even sales last-gen. The PS4 has 2x the install base, it's currently winning NA, and dominating EU where the 360 versions of their games managed to hold on, yet Platinum decides to make an exclusive for said console (same situation with the Wii U).

3. Platinum games have a very niche audience to begin with. I enjoy most of their games and they're probably one of my top 10 favorite developers and easily in my top 5 if not 3 Japanese developers, but making over the top Japanese games, puts you in the niche group sales wise.

I'm sure both games will review well and be a success in that regard, but financially I just don't see Scalebound being a hit for MS or Platinum. It's like putting a Death Metal band in a concert to perform for the Country Music Festival. It just doesn't fit with their audience.

No offense I'm just calling it like I see it.

@Concertoine

I'm sure they are, which is why I like Bayonetta I understand it, but I still don't think it's the right choice for Platinum. 2015 is the 20 year PS anniversary and they have over 20 A - AAA exclusives already announced, and over 40 including indie, MS has to combat that with their own 3rd party exclusives. I'm also sure Platinum just wants to keep making games which is what any developer would want. However, in reverse to what you said, if the game is a success then they're paid royalties for the game doing well which allows them to be able to self publish more titles on their own.

Also Metal Gear Rising did great in Japan for them.

Haha i almost forget MGR is a platinum game sometimes. The fact that its riding the metal gear name is really what sold it though, if it wasnt i doubt it wouldve fared much better than the likes of Vanquish.

I honestly doubt they'll self publish anything anytime soon. They started off with Sega and now they're just hopping around various publishers. Its clear they have no trouble finding publishers, even after TW101 was probably their biggest commercial failure yet.

GOTY would either be MGSV, Witcher 3, Final Fantasy, and Uncharted 4. I don't see anything else coming close to these games.

I'm not saying that it will win GOTY, but I think that Quantum Break will be fantastic as well.

Haha, brilliant banter. Thanks for a good laugh.

hmmm.. let's have a crack at this....

If spending $800 is breaking your bank, then spending $400 wasn't a good idea either.

You shouldn't be spending half your money on a luxury.

------------
It's like saying "I can go to the movies, but can't afford popcorn"
...... //if you can't afford popcorn, you shouldn't be going to the movies//

I think he meant "if you're working" and can afford to buy one, you can afford to buy the other(s). Maybe not immediately, but eventually (1 console per year).

But at the same time, you still have to pay for PS+ / XBL, as well as games, controllers (If you need more than 1), so it can be a little expensive.

Once again this is why I recommend most people to buy their console of choice first, get another console 2 - 3 years later ($299 bundle), and get the final console when it's in the $199 or less.

@battletorn just because i can afford to go to the movies doesn't mean i want to waste money on overpriced popcorn, just like how just because I can afford one new console that doesnt mean i should throw out 4-500 to buy the other console

"If you could afford to spend that, you could afford another $500 and if you can't?"

Instead of spending 500$ on an Xbox One i chose to spend it on games.

I can't play a console without any games which is why I chose to do that.

Got a problem with that or is spending money on games a financially bad idea?

I fail to see why you are getting so upset..

This is basic financial planning.. If you have the money to spend on a console of this price, another $400 is not breaking your bank..

But as I said.. Many people don't follow what they technically should.. I never said saving up for a treat is a bad thing or telling you what to do with your money.. I'm laying out a financial fact

let's face it.. If you need to save up $400 in the first place, there was something better you should have spent it on.. The same goes for me.. Doesn't matter I can buy both in a weeks pay, what I should have done is pay down my car loan or saved it for a house down payment..

But I like gaming.. Lol..

@narc what point are you trying to make? That you should either buy both consoles or buy none?? Thats just a tad bit ridiculous imo

"This is basic financial planning.. If you have the money to spend on a console of this price, another $400 is not breaking your bank.."

Cool logic. So if you can afford one car payment, why not two right? One down payment on a house, psssh, get 2 homes.

"If you could afford to spend that, you could afford another $500 and if you can't? Then you probably shouldn't have spent the first $500 lol"

After all, using your own logic, if you can't afford to buy 2 homes or 2 cars, you shouldn't have bought the first one.

To some $100K is not a lot of money, but then you have people that will say $400 is a lot of money. It's all subjective. Just because you can afford to shell out for 2 consoles, just because, does not mean every one can.

1. It's a remake, not a remaster.
2. The other games have already been remastered before BluePoint even joined Sony.
3. BluePoint has been with Sony since 2021 after doing Demon's Souls and did zero remake jobs since there but helped Sony Santa Monica with Ragnarok and didn't succeed on a GoW Live Service game. That's five years of potential not utilized.
4. If Sony didn't use them during those 5 years to do a single remaster, I highly doubt Sony wants the other studios to focus on doing as such when they could instead focus on new games and IPs.

They literally remade shadow of the colossus and demon souls. And still to my point, if Sony Santa Monica is Remaking their own game franchise. Miyazaki stated he would rather do the remake for bloodborne. What makes you think other companies with the umbrella wouldn’t want to remake killzone, infamous and the rest themselves.

If you worked for a company for 5 years, had no original ideas. Failed at the project that was given to you. And your last ditch effort STILL relied on someone else’s work/IP. Why would you expect to keep your job?

That makes no sense and this is literally the most forced hate I’ve seen to date.

***They literally remade shadow of the colossus and demon souls.***

Before Sony bought them. And afterwards? Again, **NOTHING** since purchase in 2021. NOTHING. Five years of nothing.

***What makes you think other companies with the umbrella wouldn’t want to remake killzone, infamous and the rest themselves***

Because if they did, it would be done by now. Santa Monica wanted it with GoW. It's done. They did it last generation. Now, they want to completely remake the first 3 games, not just remaster? Sony is letting them.

Why are they able to do these things but not others? Because they want to do them. Pretty sure Sucker Punch is the golden child of Sony right now. If they wanted to remaster/remake inFamous, Sony would not say no as long as they pump out Ghost games every 3-4 years.
