Scalebound: Platinum Action With Deep RPG Systems

IGN:

"Traditionally, Platinum Games has been in the business of comically over-the-top action, the knuckle-breaking, hand-cramping, every-sliver-of-a-second-count s kind. It’s good business, too; Platinum has built such a strong portfolio in the last several years it’s become something of an ‘action whisperer’ for publishers looking to reinvigorate their franchises."

"Skill points can also be gained outside of combat. Scalebound is built around the relationship between Drew and Thuban, so you will be rewarded for taking care of that relationship. “If you heal your dragon, or execute other supportive role-type actions, you’ll be able to earn skill points,” says Kamiya. “By motivating the player to participate in actions and behaviours that are meaningful, it will… help you progress further”.

Nice. This game just keeps getting better and better.

gangsta_red3610d ago

Sounds really good.

Very curious to see how big this world is and how 4 players all with dragons will fit in it.

christocolus3610d ago

I hope it turns out great. Click the link below at 2.41 there's a little bit of the the 4 player co-op in action.

Sounds like a system similar to a lot of RPGS I used to play when the genre was at its peak.

Love that MS and Platinum decided to tackle on a different genre other than the crazy action and combat system games that Platinum are known for...but since it is a Platinum game, those crazy action combat system looks like it is there as well. Really looking forward to this game.

christocolus3610d ago (Edited 3610d ago )

yup. It has that unique platinum feel to it and the concept art looks amazing.

"Kamiya was keen to stress that although these RPG elements are indeed a departure for the studio, it doesn’t mean he’s neglecting the slick, frantic action Platinum is known for."

Man I can't wait for this. This is the sorta game I been waiting for.

OpieWinston3610d ago

Draconis = Pandora = Avatar = Biggest movie Box Office ever

Platinum = Critically Acclaimed Action

Scalebound = Dragons + Platinum + Draconis

Thank god for IGN First. The details are going to keep me fat for the next 10 months. Scalebound needs the right marketing campaign. It's got all the checks on the list to be huge.

This game looks insane! 4 player freakin co-op! With 4 dragons! It's going to be madness.

FrostedFire3610d ago (Edited 3610d ago )

Unless I can fly dragons and name my dragon "IShouldaListenedToMom&qu ot; .I'm not interested

proudxgamer3610d ago

Interesting.....
I think Recore will be the game to go against Horizon...

Either way...MS please keep coming up with better/refreshing adventure IPs

StrayaKNT3610d ago

I agree I think Scalebound will be in a league of its own. I really want to see some recore gameplay the trailer was crazy.

MSBAUSTX3610d ago

This game looks sick and I cant wait for it to release. Day one for me. Its Platinum Games. They print money man. Whats not to love. Keep it coming MS. Make my wallet cringe because I love it.

I'd say start with a remake. The original had some neat ideas but can greatly be expanded upon. Like trapping dinos behind laser barricades or tranq-ing them into submission. There is a lot of room to explore and flesh out these quirky gameplay mechanics.

on_line_forever32d ago

If this happens then I hope they give us different level of dinasors some of them smart than other and of course good story and great gameplay

MehmetAlperTR32d ago

is it gonna happen ? please say " YES !!! "

TheColbertinator32d ago

Onimusha? Okami? Maybe Dino Crisis too? Capcom is back in business.

Sure this 'Japanese guy' might be happy but what about the Western grifters? What about what they want?

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.

ZwVw119d 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.

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)
