One of the major absences of E3 was undoubtedly, Scalebound, the new game created by Platinum Games exclusively for Xbox One. Since before the start give E3, Microsoft has confirmed that games for the European event would be kept between them, the expected Scalebound, Crackdown and Quantum Break.
Now with just over a month ahead to start the Gamescom 2015, Platinum Games warns us through Twitter and through its Web site, the new creation of Hideki Kamiya will be present in the old continent.
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)
TNS: Hideki Kamiya recently hosted a reunion and drinking party with former Bayonetta devs, confirming even more PlatinumGames resignations.
Platinum Games faces a talent drain as five senior developers, including directors behind Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3, reportedly leave the studio.
Even if they buy them, they'd be buying a shell of a studio at this point. Almost everyone that mattered to the studio is gone.
Never a good sign. They lost Hideki Kamiya, which was arguably the top tier of their talent list. So, seeing this is like the writing on the wall. They got Ninja Gaiden 4 coming, so hopefully that’ll deliver and keep them going.
Can't wait! I suspect a release date will be announced by Platinum at Gamescom.
The cgi trailer was very interesting, if they can pull it off in gameplay this game will be huge.
For me this looks like the most uninteresting xb1 exclusive in concept . I Know lets make a dragon game lost me straight away hope gameplay can win me back I just think its the Kmart of mythical creatures
