Scalebound Preview: A strong pulse indeed

Lazygamer got a proper look at Scalebound at Gamescom. Ever wanted to know how to train a dragon? This looks like the game that'll answer that question!

I feel like some games/movies just don't do Dragons justice. Sometime they look like angry lizards, other times they're over the top (cough GoT)

Must say, Scalebound make pretty badass dragons!

Darranged3860d ago

Thing is, I'm a big fan of Platinum, and I'm just not feeling this game. Not yet I suppose.

BlackPanther3860d ago

The fact that I can put armour on my dragon sold me so much. And Drew has varied weapons as well. This game could be very special this generation.

Eiyuuou3860d ago

I really wish this would come to PS4...

ScorpiusX3860d ago

Hell no , u want to play buy an Xbox.

spicelicka3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

Don't be a fanboy, this is why people make fun of fanboys.

ScorpiusX3860d ago

@spicelicka not being a fan boy being honest you want to play a game buy the system. Plain and simple this begging for a console exclusive game to be on another system is just down right stupid. Also more fanboyish than telling some to buy the console it's on if they want to enjoy a game .

Eiyuuou3860d ago

Expressing ones desire isn't begging. I wouldn't have made such a comment if I was in the position to buy an Xbox. Besides, I wouldn't buy a console for one game. Unfortunately there aren't any other Xbox exclusive titles that interest me.

I'm not a fanboy. I think both Xbox and PS are equally good systems and I can only wish Microsoft the best of luck. It's just a bit of a shame since Platinum Games made this exclusive.

ScorpiusX3860d ago

That last part of your comment goes both ways.if and when your in a position to buy the second console don't look at it cause of one game. look at for one game and many others with countless features.

proudxgamer3860d ago

I love the direction and art of the dragons... Good Job MS.... 2016!!! hmmmm What else does Phil and minions have up their sleeves for 2017>>???

Some of the big AAA games will get pushed back...

Recore
SoT

I say 2-3 games will be a 2017 release date...AS LONG AS GOW4 is coming out!

Hideki Kamiya wants to revive Scalebound: 'Let's do it, Phil'

Hideki Kamiya is still interested in developing Scalebound, after the PlatinumGames and Microsoft action game was cancelled back in 2017.

ZwVw367d ago

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.

InUrFoxHole366d ago

@8bit
Yeah I mentioned that below. Although in comparison concord was a bigger failure.

MetroidFREAK21367d ago

I mean I'm all for it... I'd buy it for PS5 since Xbox is doing these multiplatform releases now

MetroidFREAK21366d ago

Well, I vastly prefer physical versions of games, and I can't do that with my Series S... sooooooo assume what you will

Lexreborn2367d ago

Scalebound was my reasoning for buying and Xbox one. Legit my biggest let down last gen

raWfodog366d ago

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.

Chocoburger367d ago

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!

Michiel1989367d ago

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)

Cancelled Games That Still Upsetti My Spaghetti

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.

helicoptergirl417d ago

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.

lucasnooker367d ago

I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles

Canceled Video Games That Still Hurt The Most

The cancellation of Rainbow Six Patriots, Alice Asylum, and Scalebound, among others, have hit players and fans like a truck over time.

Chocoburger592d ago

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.

RaidenBlack590d ago

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.

Chocoburger590d ago

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.

rlow1590d ago

Did you see play Advent Rising? If so, what did you think of it?

Chocoburger590d ago

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.

XiNatsuDragnel592d ago

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.

Relientk77591d ago

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.

INMATEofARKHAM591d ago

Interesting and pretty solid list but I would day it's Star Wars 1313 that hurts the most in terms of Star War games.

DaReapa591d ago

Honorable mentions go to Eight Days, Agent, and Whore of the Orient to name a few.

Deeeeznuuuts590d ago

All of them! But none more than Agent for me, how good a rockstar espionage game could have been! 😭
The getaway too!
