He's so cool. He has a sword AND he's wearing headphones!!!1

Don't forget the exaggerated body movements!

But beyond the main character, the game seems fun and looks great.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Damn SB impressed! :O

It also sounds stupidly ambitious for Platinum!

 

[hwalker84]

Scalebound looks dope. The swordplay isn't as crisp as I expect from Platinum.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Holiday 2016? Plenty of time for optimizations on SB.

Intrigued about that MP.

 

[BTM]

Scalebound looks great

 

[Dabanton]

Oh my at the concern trolls flooding in.

 

[Milly Osworth]

DVR? What year is this?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

platinum got a budget dammmm,holiday 2016 though ):

 

[Sidewinder]

Ewww recording Pro7...

 

[filly]

Nice.... I love how they aren't using voice commands for this demo

 

[crinale]

TV

 

[Alienous]

Are they showing anything else? I was underwhelmed by all 3 demonstrations. I guess Crackdown 3 was the best of them.

 

[Aeana]

I figure Scalebound will follow the usual Platinum reactions.

"OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED KAMIGOD KAMIGOD"
"HERE WE GO"
"OOooooh?"
"oh"
"um, this looks weird?"
"wow this looks terrible lol"
"wish it was more like *insert platinum game*"
"graphics look bad"
*hours pass and more gameplay + previews roll in*
"Oh actually this looks much better than the original reveal"
*time passes, more glowing previews*
"This game sounds REALLY FUCKING AWESOME"
*trailers roll in over the months before release*
"PLATINUM IS GOD THIS GAME LOOKS AMAZING OH MY GOD"
*game releases*
"NOBODY DOES COMBAT LIKE PLATINUM KAMIGOD KAMIGOD"

EC was right.

 

[Conrad Link]

Finally something that is relevant to interests from MS!

So long to wait for Scalebound though.

Oh joy now its time for a pile of feature announcements that will never be available in my country.

 

[LordBaztion]

I was expecting something more crazy in Scalebound, I guess being RPG timing is not as important as other platinum games.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Big Dragon PEW PEW -> TV TV TV TV TV

Scalebound looked great. I hope it works out.

 

[chugen]

did it quick, sorry not perfect

 

[gai_shain]

Another game ruined by being open world

The game is trash guys pack it up, heard it here first

 

[UltraGunner]

It aint a platinum game without the framerate shitting out. It's tradition at this point.

 

[Devilgunman]

Scalebound looks like Horizon but gameplay feels kinda shallow.

 

[Journey]

DVR. RIP 500GB HDD.

5TB external drive says hello

 

[cripterion]

Why are people shitting on a game that isn't out until next year for the framerate? He is playing an incredibly early build on stage. Isn't that enough?

Not only the framerate from me, character looks awful, bland graphics, poor animations... how am I supposed to be excited for that?

I guess co-op is nice but totally not my game uh

 

[RefigeKru]

Scalebound looked crummy.

 

[kadotsu]

But why would I record German TV.

 

[kurahador]

Scalebound looks great. Combat abit slower than usual Platinum, but it's an action RPG so it's ok.

 

[Einchy]

Announcing a feature PS3 had in 2007?!

Your point?

Kappa

 

[Linkhero1]

I wasn't really interested in Scalebound before but it looks great. I'm in.

 

[noomi]

DVR eh?

I guess, that HD is going to fill up pretty quickly....

 

[RdN]

DVR. RIP 500GB HDD.

Good thing you can easily hook up an external HDD, right?

 

[Asd202]

TV TV TV.

Spoiler

Am I doing it right?

 

[Dictator93]

I love how he is american while everyone else talks with an english accent.

Xbox games sometimes...

Oh he looks like a jerk off as well. But the gameplay looked like it could be pretty good assuming it controls well and offers up a challenge.

 

[saher]

Didnt expect RPG elements in this game, looks like MH+FFXV+DMC

 

[Phat Michael]

Why are people shitting on a game that isn't out until next year for the framerate? He is playing an incredibly early build on stage. Isn't that enough?

It's what people do here man. Don't show gameplay? "fuck cgi who cares?" show gameplay in alpha release pre optimisation? "lol runs like ass looks Terrible 20fps".

That game looks like an awesome rpg with actually good combat.

 

[xxracerxx]

OTA DVR is fucking awesome.

 

[Hybrid897]

Looking forward to seeing more of scalebound hopefully in a more optimized state.... I'll probably end up picking an xbox1 for it when it comes out.

 

[Dega]

lol i actually really need this dvr stuff now. Perfect timing.

 

[The Cowboy]

What a switch in tempo, from scalebound to "you can now record TV".

 

[Welfare]

2016 booooo

CHAT PAD

 

[Frog-fu]

Oh my at the concern trolls flooding in.

This is an Xbox thread, bro. What'd you expect?

 

[Gandie]

People really will shit on anything Xbox. Console wars suck.

Welcome to NeoGAF

 

[muzzymate]

Scalebound looks great, but not totally up my ally.

They have a year plus to fix up the framerate, so not too worried about that yet.

 

[watership]

Fix that framerate and we're good!

That's my feeling.

 

[DopeyFish]

Chatpad is back!

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Is this show really 90minutes. They got a fuck ton of time left if so.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Return of the chat pad.

zzzzz

 

[naitosan]

Guys, about Scalebound. It's still first time they showed it. More coming and we haven't even seen anything beyond that footage. It looks amazing imo.

 

[Amir0x]

Scalebound was a bit disappointing, but maybe it's hard to judge from a video. The combat didn't look as engaging as I'd hoped, I was hoping for Kamiya+Monster Hunter vibes, but it just seemed slow and not particularly methodical and the whole assigning commands to your Dragon buddy seemed like a mechanic done a billion times (and not even in a particularly engaging way) but with a Dragon.

The framerate will obviously be fixed, but I'm a bit more withdrawn on the concept after that. Hopefully they have a demo one day in the future so I can try it out and see if the combat feels better than it looks.

 

[Giriath_89]

I'm not sure Platinum will ever come to grips with the framerate while maintaining the visual fidelity of those dragons and big monsters.

I'm a bit disappointed with all three games, especially Scalebound.
