Scalebound is (probably) an open world action game

What on earth is Scalebound, Platinum Games’ new Xbox One exclusive? We don’t actually know, but we got some pretty broad hints at TGS 2014.

I'm really excited about this one. The part about forming a bond with your dragon sounds fantastic.
Can't wait to see gameplay but until then, i guess im stuck with the e3 reveal trailer.have watched it so many times I basically have it stored in my brain.. PG&MS I'm counting on you.pls don't mess this up.

Orbertron3927d ago

I'm sure it will be ok just look what they did with metal gear: Revengeance and that was 18 months work with one of the best soundtracks, so i don't have high hopes, i just know i will like what ever they do, if Bayonetta and Vanquish are anything to go by what to expected, we are going to get our moneys worth of crazy and love it :)

Edward753927d ago

@ obertron

I agree, everything they have touched, everything, I have enjoyed. More people need to play games like Vanquish, and bayonetta. Platinum games doesn't seem to make a dud. Even at its worst, it will be a decent game. I just hope it comes out sooner rather than later.

Dark113927d ago

Yeah X1 and Wii U owners are lucky to have PG making game for their consoles.

xxx_Solid_Snake_xxx3927d ago

yeeeeeh open world with dragons :)

PCBOX3927d ago

Please tell me who the hell even mentioned before that it is gonna be a "time exclusive"? Waiting an answer

By the way MS realy trust XO's hardware which most exclusives from MS are OW.Realy intereseting thing.Hope to see any gameplay soon.

ScorpiusX3927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

Say who and please don't use Ryse or DR3 as example provide a source that actually stated that. personally hope IP is owned by MS.

DanzoSAMA3927d ago

go play some indie or TLOU again Lol.

Mystogan3926d ago

Scalebound is a Microsoft IP... It will be on Playstation as soon as the Last of Us will be on Xbox.

I think their next showing will be gameplay. I think I understand what he means by not "pure action" like Beyonetta. But he also says that the trailer give hints about the game. Even the headphones will play a part. He also confirms that this is a fantasy setting, and that monster battles will be large and dynamic. Obviously, we need a gameplay trailer to see how it all fits together.

DarkOcelet3927d ago

I was like in the beginning , why the heck would you write such a comment when we already know its exclusive then i looked at the comment above you :/ ... Competition is great for both parties and hopefully the game sells well because Platinum games are an underrated studio .

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.

InUrFoxHole118d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21119d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21118d ago

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

Lexreborn2119d ago

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

raWfodog118d 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.

Chocoburger119d 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!

Michiel1989118d 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.

helicoptergirl169d 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.

lucasnooker119d 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.

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.

RaidenBlack342d 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.

Chocoburger342d 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.

rlow1342d ago

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

Chocoburger342d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel344d 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.

Relientk77343d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM343d 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.

DaReapa343d ago

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

Deeeeznuuuts342d ago

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