Every once in a while, rumors and wishful thinking for the revival of Scalebound surface on the Internet. Xbox division head Phil Spencer clarified.
Microsoft & Xbox have shut down Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks to lay off more workers, insinuating that they're not in the game anymore.
They're headless for a long time because closing tango isn't exactly a good move
Everyone's acting now that game companies care about games and Xbox is committing the Ultimate betrayal, they are all like this and you have just been quiet about it for far too long
I wonder if Microsoft do pull out of the console market that it might open the door for valve to relaunch the Steambox. Competition is good for the industry but Microsoft don't even seem to be trying anymore.
“Your game has won some pretty significant awards and is a show piece for where we want to go in the future.”
1 hour later.
“We’re gonna have to let you go. You can’t cover our 100 billion dollar acquisition. Oh and take your awards too 👍🏾”
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
Maybe for the best.
Money willl be better invested on new first party games
I'm not sure if it is possible, plus most likely would cost an arm and a leg, but let Platinum do a crowd funding campaign for it. They just did The Wonderful 101, so they have no problem going that route and now if fans want Scalebound, they have to pay for it.
Spencer - "“We’re not working on it. I’m not at Platinum today but I’m almost positive they’re not working on it."
Most likely the IP is tided to Platinum's decision on where to go with the title.
had they rejoined with spencer with anything new he would have said different.
till that moment arrives with anything new. but for the moment i'd say the IP is dead.
Duh.
What a waste of money. I’m sure plenty of people would have liked it if the game had worked out
