Game gets announced

WTF THIS LOOKS LIKE TRASH DELETE THIS
>game gets cancelled
WTF THIS LOOKED LIKE IT HAD POTENTIAL FUCKING MICROSOFT RUINING GAMING

The problem was Scalebound didn't have a phat ass associated with the game to promote it like Nier. Microsoft saw this ahead of time and cut their losses before losing more money.

>Sup Forums is one person
I thought it had potential from the start. It almost sold me on an Xbox, considering I don't use Win10 and until recently I didn't have an 8th gen console yet.

You don't need a hot women to sell your game

it looked like shit but might have been fun.
We'll never know

This is literally the first thread about a Microsoft game or product I've seen in weeks.

Too many things put me off

>15fps gameplay
>hack & slash
>poor bow and arrow mechanics
>that incredibly shitty boss fight demo
>co-op

I had no hope for this game when I saw it's first reveal. Microsoft did everyone a favor in killing it and saving Kamiya from ruining his career and track record.

I wanted there to be a romance between the dudebro and the dragon but oh well.

it came down to this game running like shit and they couldn't get it to run at even stable 30

Hideki Kamiya was directing it. Who said it's trash?

What if whatever Plantinum has left of Scalebound becomes Drakengard 4?

Drakengard 4 from the ashes of Scalebound when?

How does Microsoft get away with this?

the game did have potential.... it just looked worse and worse as the game developed.

they turned it into a co op game and it fucking ruined it lmao

There might have actually been one considering how weird the director was about wanting to play in a world of dragons.

I thought it looked like a really fun idea when I saw the first trailer.

Then I saw that e3 footage and immediately forgot about the game forever.

Is this the new witcher game?

Wipe this meme from the face of the earth

They dont. They're crumbling and backpedalling on their backpedalling
>guys dont worry we will give you all these new games and IPs
cancels or rushes almost all of them
>guys dont worry, we are unifying the ecosystem
already dropped the crossplay because theres fewers sales on W10 store for their main franchises than a niche weeb game on steam with no advertising
>guys dont worry, both PC and Xbox will continue to hav exclusives
I
WONDER
WHAT
WILL
HAPPEN
NEXT

Looked a bit hit or miss. I don't think the ip is dead but the next time we see it it'll be way different than what it was when we last saw it. By the sounds of it ms invested heavily into this game and they won't be wanting to lose than investment. There's probably another studio working on it right now using some of the old assets ms took from platinum when they cancelled the release.

Really makes you think

Still looked like shit. It might have been Kamiya's first bad game.
