PoliGame's Talks about the Gameplay footage of The Xbox exclusive Scalebound. Does this game actually live up to it's hype or does it fall flat. Which begs the question can we really trust CG trailers?
Why this criminally underrated shooter should share the spotlight with Platinum’s finest.
They should be working to getting games out on a timely matter not adding more games to the pile. I used to be a big fan of Platinum but their game turn out rate is atrocious these days. The games I want are no where to be seen and what is releasing is retro looking games no one asked for. I'm all for retro style games but not at the cost of bigger games sitting on the back burner for years at a time.
PlatinumGames wants to bring Scalebound back, and Microsoft should listen.
“Excitement” and “interest” in Scalebound seemed to only occur after it was canceled… However, IO interactive is rumoured to be developing a game involving Dragons for Xbox Studios. So maybe IO Interactive’s title could be branded as Scalebound.
I think the cancellation was a smart move. The main character looks cool, like Nero from "Devil May Cry 4," but the gameplay looked so boring I was yawning.
I like platinum as a dev but let's be honest they were doing their low tier work on the game which they're notorious for. They'll either do S tier perfection work or they'll do whatever to just get by for the contract they have. Maybe that's changed but they were doing low tier for microsoft and microsoft called them out on it and cancelled the project. I don't blame microsoft one bit for doing that. It was basically a whatever project for platinum while they worked on the other game at the time, i forget which one it was but it was just miles better.
Microsoft already owns the IP, has the design docs, and has a playable build. Hand the project off to an internal team or another 3rd party.
Why give a second chance to a team that phoned in development and filtered their funds into other projects?
I like Platinum, but their management can be really shady.
PlatinumGames seems ready to finish Scalebound, and if Microsoft follows through with them, it would be a big boon for the Xbox Series X gen.
If MS wants to finish it, they dont need PG to do it. They have plenty of other talent now vs before.
Makemit happen MS. You need a game like this as badly as you needed it last gen. Let’s see if they actually care enough to follow through.
SB looks freaking amazing and 4 player co-op!
I think the game looks good/average the animations look stiff and the framerate was all over the place
Yeah, it looked great. My only gripe so far is the MC design... He looks like Eminem :L
so far it's pretty alpha but it doesn't look interesting and that's just for me personally. this game still have a long way before release so I know it will turn out just fine
in a 8 minute demo I am not sure if they can really show much. it did have a lot of potential so I am excited nonetheless
for me personally crackdown and quantum break were amazing. I read that crackdown destruction is online only. I hope they still offer great destruction to single player gamers
IT looks ok, but they need to improve in a lot of things.
