IGN first presents an in depth look into Scalebound's Dragon Armor, Giant Swords, and Flip-Kicking Dragons.

The co-op gameplay and dragon armor looks stunning. I'm so hyped for this game.it's even more ambitious than i thought.

When PG kept saying to look at the CG trailer I couldn't believe the possibility of a Co-op Open World game riding on a dragon. Especially since they've never done an RPG.

If Scalebound doesn't get the hype it deserves I'm going to be very disappointed. This game needs to be a franchise. I want the world of Draconis to grow into a place where Drew and Thubans adventure is never ending.

d_g3578d ago

yeah the co-op looks amazing and liked how you can Customize your character and dragon

AngelicIceDiamond3578d ago

@Chris And this is why this my most anticipated game of next year. Hideki didn't wanna make a standard action game that you blow through in 6 to 8 hrs. I'm glad its an Action JRPG with lvling, crafting, customizing etc.

Co Op just makes everything sweeter. I want this game NOWWW.

d_g3578d ago

@christocolus wow i never thought that platinum games would Reaches to this level of details and lighting

breakpad3578d ago (Edited 3578d ago )

yes this game looks promising and good...very japanese flavored and very appealing imo

Kingdomcome2473578d ago

Nice! You can see that there will even be weight restrictions in the top right. Hopefully Thuban will have saddlebags. :P

Gazondaily3578d ago

I got a bit of a Zelda vibe from the UI...maybe its just me :P

Kingdomcome2473578d ago

If look at the top of the menu it looks as though there's a crafting tab as well. I can't wait. I love fantasy settings. I bet that there will be some gorgeous vistas.

4Sh0w3577d ago

Scalebound is hot, the attention to detail in the dragons and the beautiful world looks amazing.

Still waiting on Kotaku Scale Bound look rubbish article in 5mins.

Platinum Games had made a action rpg game before it name is Okami I don't why people keep saying this their 1st time making a Rpg game.

cfc783578d ago

Kotaku hasn't the balls to try and downplay Scalebound even they know this games going to be epic.

classic193578d ago

Damn guy give it a rest, some ppl dont like how quantum brake is coming along is that guy opinion, i like it you like it nd lots of other ppl do too, so its not all rubbish is it?, why do ppl hold on to words that none the wiser. I dont even have a xbox in i like these game quantum brake nd scalbound will make me buy a xbox i need to ply these games.

MeliMel3578d ago

Its not that dude. They praise the games and all of a sudden their doing 180s on what they say. You either write a article about how you like it or dont. Dont write one and then change it to the other after.

OpieWinston3578d ago

I'm going to put so much time into customizing Thubans armor/appearance. Ive got the rough image in my head and it's going to be sick.

KingKionic 3578d ago

These battles just look so believable. DAT DRAGON ARMOR!

Jesus...this game is gonna be fantastic.

mafia_pc3578d ago

My most anticipated game so far, i love dragons so much !

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.

ZwVw84d 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.

InUrFoxHole83d ago

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

MetroidFREAK2184d ago

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

MetroidFREAK2184d ago

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

Lexreborn284d ago

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

raWfodog84d 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.

Chocoburger84d 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!

Michiel198984d 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.

helicoptergirl134d 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.

lucasnooker84d 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.

Chocoburger309d 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.

RaidenBlack307d 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.

Chocoburger307d 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.

rlow1307d ago

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

Chocoburger307d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel309d 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.

Relientk77308d 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.

INMATEofARKHAM308d 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.

DaReapa308d ago

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

Deeeeznuuuts307d ago

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