Eidos:I’m pleased to confirm that we are already into production of the starting point for Deus Ex: Universe with a new game for PC and next-generation consoles. We’re very excited about it at the studio and I wanted to let you know that most of the team behind Deus Ex: Human Revolution is already working hard on this new game. It took us four years to learn how to create a unique Deus Ex experience with Human Revolution and it was important for me to keep this knowledge within the franchise.
Steam's Summer Sale has tons of games at low prices, but here are the best games you can buy without worrying about spending too much money.
Square Enix has kicked off a new sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
A tearful goodbye to IPs that will be sorely missed.
So gutted that Fable is dead. I really wanted Fable 4... like, maybe a full reboot rather than more modern times.
It may not be dead forever.. Phil just recently went on record about it. Considering MS own the IP, they could eventually give it to another studio to work on.
"Some fans took to twitter to ask Microsoft’s Phil Spencer whether or not we would be getting the fourth installment of the Fable franchise anytime soon. While Spencer confirmed that there is nothing to announce just yet, he did tease that we probably be seeing Fable again. Eventually."

I always wonder this when people are upset that certain games get cancelled. I can understand if it's in a case like the Darth Maul Star Wars game and Star Wars 1313, as both of those got canned because of the Disney buyout, but most games that are cancelled are cancelled because something just isn't working out.
Deus Ex and Hitman were canned because Sq Enix is greedy and demands a huge payout. There was absolutely nothing wrong with those two games.
I'm talking about games that are actually in development for a period of time before being cancelled.
If a game has been in development for years and simply isn't taking shape, there's a good chance there's serious issues with it and things aren't working out the way they should.
Unsure how you 'sorely miss' an IP you never got to play/experience. If you could then there are plenty much more interesting looking titles than Scalebound that never saw the light of day.
Some of the actual established IPs in there that one might ACTUALLY miss will likely not see another release this gen sure, but will more than likely return in the next and with ever shortening console gens the wait shouldn't be much longer if at all.
I guess you can miss something that looked promising and Scalebound had that promise to being something cool.
But who knows, it could have been balls out bad. We'll never know....
I assume it got cancelled for a reason and I very much doubt that reason was it was shaping up to be something great.
Personally, didn't remotely interest me from the off but sure others probably thought differently, but again 'solely missed'? No. Included so they could put it in the thumbnail? Probably.
@fishy
PG wanted to it stay focused on the SP side, Ms wanted them to focus on the MP and that was causing issues
Scalebound was over hype period. The only cool part to me was that a dragon follows you around, everything else was bad. The gameplay looked so boring and clunky.
Platinum games missed several of their contractual time table agreements. Microsoft. wasn't going to pay them anymore because of this. Platinum Games promised something in a certain time and couldn't deliver it, hence Microsoft cancelled the project. It's pretty obviously the game probably wasn't even going to release in 2017. Still, M$ owns the IP and could still make a game out of it in the future.
After Evolution Studio's DriveClub flop, Sony also decided they didn't want anymore games from them and termination their contact. Who is going to miss a DriveClub 2? Will Polyphony be the next racing game studio to go?
Isn't there a rumor that Microsoft renewed Scalebound's IP with a different team?
Microsoft renewed the IP, but they haven't said anything about another team working on it yet.
Which could simply mean they wish to keep it away from others in case they decide to do something with it a few years down the road.
Nah, they continued the trademark "Scalebound" recently, but that's just to stop other people using the name.
YES! YES! YES!

Considering how they were able to make games with huge choices that bred consequences in the past, the next-generation machines will allow them to take that even further. Games like Watchdogs are just now catching up to what the producers and developers of the Dues Ex series have accomplished over the past 20 years. So I cant imagine that their next product is going to be anything but stellar.
A big toast goes out to everybody working on the next game. May it be everything that you and your fans hope for.
