Scalebound (XB1/PC, 2017) Xbox E3 Briefing 2016
- Thread starter Raylan
- Start date
This looks AMAZING
By far and away looks like the best Platinum game ever. SO excited!!!!!
I feel like we watched different videos. I didn't think it looked very good at all, unfortunately.
same, i dunno what stream these guys were watching on i thought it looked super fun.

Just what? The protagonist is awful, awful! and the combat just didn't look all that fun. What a let down.

Strong co-sign for this. After Bayonetta 1, 2, Vanquish, MGR, Mad World, Infinite Space, Anarchy Reigns, The Wonderful 101, Transformers: Devastation, TMNT & the as of now unreleased Nier: Automata it looks by far their best game to date.

I don't see what's bad about the game and I'm huge fan of Platinum. The game looks great.
First FFXV disappointment now this. Nier Automata better save action RPG's for me at E3
At least I could tell what was going on in this demo. FFXV was a clusterfuck.

Spot on. It never really ramped up in typical Platinum fashion, it all looked rather flaccid.

How is SF Zero PG fault? It was designed at Nintendo EAD.
Woof, I want this game to be good, but none of the mechanics looked like they even belonged in a platinum game. What was up with the boring ass flailing they called combat? No wonder Kamiya looked like his soul had been taken. They probably focus grouped the shit out of it.
And it's a good game.

not really..kamiya made resident evil 2 and he doesn't like survival horror games at all from what i've read

I want to hope it was just a bad demo. It'd break my heart to see it not turn out so hot, man.

It's a shame that Platinum's making the same mistakes Japanese devs make whenever they try to get mainstream Western appeal.
Hopefully there's more info on Dragon customization during E3 because it's hard to see the benefits of having a wingless Dragon.

Looks kinda rough...
After SF0 and TMNT I'm starting to think Platinum might be spreading themselves a little too thin at this point.

I loved Kamiya's Enlgish though.

Resident Evil 2 was also made during a time when you could develop an entire game and be forced to scrap and start over because the producer didn't approve of it.

Was interested in this game. After that, nope.

I thought it looked 1000% badass and extremely fun to play and not frustrating. Also the dragons looked cool and the boss fight, while generic, looked like SO much fun.
Also I LOST it when the protag put his headphones on. What a badass!
After playing Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 1, Bayonetta 2, this looks like a wonderful blast of fresh air and is EXACTLY what I want Platinum games doing.

What?! I'm surprised by the reactions here. I thought it looked great and I plan to upgrade my PC to play it.
I'm not sure if its just the boss they chose to demo but, it looked rather slow, or less involved than Platinums usual output, i mean, game like Bayo, MGR etc, you'd be attacking and dodging all over the place, there was a whole lot of standing around shooting arrows here, and jumping onto a dragon to, what appeared to be, firing fireballs.
I hope they show some more demos that show it off better, im willing to give it benefit of the doubt at the moment.

This thread is mixed as FUCK! Like 50% that find it awesome vs 50% that say it looks like garbo.
Nier Automata doesn't look like it's being tailored and focus tested for some broad Western audience appeal like this game. Scalebound could still be good, in its own way, but it feels like they've got Kamiya's craziness tightly confined. Automata is unabashedly Japanese.

This was the only game I would consider getting from the W10 store but after this reveal? I am ok with skipping it.

Have to agree with most here. Not a great showing.

If that was the case, we wouldn't even have this protagonist.

By far the opposite. It looks so much slower than anything they've made. :/

You're like my worst enemy.
PG seems to be losing their mojo lately.
This looks absolutely horrible and will bomb hard.
Does this game even have a combat system? From what I've seen it's
mmo combat with shitty bow shooting...don't get me started on the constant damage output numbers and that shit-show of a main character.
I hope Nier2 brings back PG glory.

this might be underwhelming, but it's not hold button to combo/hold button to dodge nonsense.
Okami is like God's creation compared to Wonderful 101.
