Yea that E3 video last year was not a good look.

 

[Lashley]

Can't say im shocked

 

[MattKeil]

The level in which you drain a swamp just isn't coming together the way they hoped it would.

 

[SheHateMe]

Well, there goes one of the reasons why I initially got an Xbox One.

Luckily, the 360 BC has cemented the One's place in my home.

Damn. Scalebound was very interesting.

 

[lanella]

Huh, can't believe that's true!

 

[SLHellbound]

The protagonist seemed like a tool.

 

[letmetrythisname]

I saw that coming, but it still sucks. Scalebound is one of the reasons I got an Xbox One.

 

[ethomaz]

I'm not surprised.

To be fair we are speculating about the chances few days ago.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Nooooooooooo

 

[Crayon]

Cancelled? :c

 

[Magic Mushroom]

I kind of wouldn't be surprised, given the way this game seems to have progressed... but man would it suck. The world needs more of Kamiya's games.

This.

 

[ShirAhava]

Good. The E3 showing was horrid.

 

[OldRoutes]

 

[excelsiorlef]

Neoliberalism strikes again...

 

[The Jackdog]

such a cool concept, shame if they just couldnt get it to work

 

[Psychoward]

This is the third thread about it, and it's not even in the right forum lol

Edit: make that 5 holy shit

 

[Skellig Gra]

gotta soften the blow for gaming side. let the cooler heads of OT parse it over first.

haha, smart move

 

[Obliterator]

Man that's pretty crazy. Its been in development for quite a while at this point so in order to cancel it, it must have been pretty disastrous in development.

 

[icespide]

 

[The Silver]

Scalebound? How high did Trump make the wall now?

 

[IlSignorCornetto]

I bought an xbox one for this game... Nintendo now your move...

 

[Chris1]

Fuck sake.. I was looking forward to this too.

 

[ezekial45]

Yeah, that E3 showing was really bad. Very disappointed if this turns out to be true, but I won't be that surprised if it was.

Maybe they can salvage some of it and turn it into a more traditional character action game? I don't know, it's a poor situation, really.

 

[cws]

Sad thing is that wouldnt surprise..didnt seem like they would make any money on that game.

 

[Got]

Fucking Trump.

This is the new "Thanks Obama"

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Well, I won't put the blame on Microsoft if true. The game just really hasn't looked as good as it sounded in concept. Hoping for some type of turnaround, or that this story isn't true.

 

[NateDrake]

Time for Nintendo moneyhat?

It started as a Wii project before getting shelved.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I thought it might be cancelled tbh

Just... didn't seem to be shaping up well and MS barely seems to care about Xbox software anymore

 

[robotrock]

ahh man. that's a huge bummer if so.

 

[JimJamJones]

Okay there's like 5 of the same topic, so mods close or merge this one if you want.

 

[tearsintherain]

Thats a real bummer for the people involved, gotta suck spending so much time on it and not being able to release Hope they are able to salvage something and get something out somehow.

 

[JP]

Dear me, I was never keen on what I saw of it but this is a shock.

 

[kurahador]

Yikes. Feel sorry for Platinum and X1 players.

 

[Trago]

I hope not, I was really looking forward to this game.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Was really looking forward to it

 

[Mathieran]

Damn. I don't have an Xbox but I was hoping to play on PC some day. Probably hard for Platinum too. It must suck to put all that time into something and then have to scrap it.

 

[somecrazymember]

Maybe the monster wasnt big enough and they had to go back to the drawing board

 

[dankir]

The frontpage is telling me Scalebound might be cancelled.....

 

[Boke1879]

Just gonna be straight up. It never looked like anything more than a budget title. But I wonder what's troubling development.

 

[AzureSkies]

Not like this

 

[DriftingSpirit]

I think the first showing for it was solid. The second showing...well.

This is unfortunate news.

 

[Merc_]

I counted four threads about this lol.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Just what the Xbox One needed smh.

 

[mejin]

But how? why?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Well, at least we have Nier. We'll just have to settle...

From what I've seen from both games we aren't setting with NieR. I was excited for Scalebound, especially after they announced the PC version, but it looks garbo.

 

[Sephzilla]

I honestly don't understand how people keep posting on the wrong sides of the forum.

On topic - I'm not entirely surprised by this. We haven't seen much from the game in a while and honestly I kind of thought it seemed too ambitious for Platinum

 

[Drencrom]

Damn, MS is having a real rough gen when it comes to third party exclusives...

 

[Skii]

Lol Microsoft are an embarrassment. The one game I was looking forward to and they're going to cancel it. What a tragic company.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

The idea was interesting even if the protagonist was not. Hopefully the game can be saved.

 

[Ydelnae]

Expecting a re-reveal at E3 that ends with the logo morphing into Devil May Cry 5 and the game going multiplatform.

And next year Kamiya steps off the project and the game gets directed by Hajime Tabata.
