Kotaku have a rumor up that MS might cancel Scalebound later this week. That'll be nuts.
|
Wooooow
|
Man, it sucks right now and I have no idea what MS are doing if this turns out to be true. Sure, Forza, Halo and Gears will continue as normal, but then what? Crackdown has been in limbo for years along with Scale bound, Phantom Dust got cancelled and restarted with a new dev (I think it's just a remake now?), Fable was shitcanned which leaves all hope riding on Sea of Thieves.
Surely MS have some stuff ready for E3 though. Although it's not a whole new console generation, they can't have Scorpio sent out without a big showcase for it. |
|
Daaaaaamn.
|
Yikes. That's a nice kick in the balls for Microsoft.
Guys at Sony must be laughing right now. |
Or cutting a deal with Kamiya.
|
Feel bad for Platinum Games since Microsoft was asking way too much from Platinum Games than they could handle. Especially with how different Scalebound was going to be compared to their dev strengths. Doesn't seem like Microsoft bothered to lend teams or enough of them to help on the project unlike Nintendo and Star Fox Zero for recent games.
Today's News: 1) Valve announced Steam recently reached a new record for most users online at the same time with yesterday hitting the 14 million mark. https://www.destructoid.com/steam-hi...e-410644.phtml http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ 2) SNK announced they are currently working on a new RPG game planned to be released later this year for mobile devices and more details to be revealed this Spring. https://www.destructoid.com/snk-deve...g-410668.phtml 3) Some gaming-related film news:
4) FREEBIES - For those who own Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the game's pre-order bonuses are currently free to download on all platforms. https://www.destructoid.com/mankind-...e-410353.phtml |
Ms cancels yet another game I would have bought. Great. Straight up I have never regretted buying a console more than I have the one.
|
It's so bizarre to me in thenfscr of The Last Guardian coming out this year. Yes, I know its a business and all that, but Sony had work on that game on and off for 8 years. They couldn't get the frame rate above 15fps on the PS3 and there are accounts of Naughty Dog and Sony San Diego being sent in in to try and fix the performance in that time before the PS4 version.
And for what? A Ueda game that is amazing but flawed and they never sell that well? Scalebound may never have been good, but I had faith in it. Fable Legends was actually good and they still pulled the plug on that. Re-Core was sent out to die with 1/5th of its content missing because it wasn't allowed to miss that deadline. |
Goddamn. Someone compiled the list of MS cancellations with details. Phantom Dust:

Then we have Scalebound, which according to several sources involved Microsoft setting very high milestones and withholding pay http://i.imgur.com/j6LFpLX.jpg And as a result a significant portion of Platinum workers are without a task, Kamiya on mental health leave, and the studio bereft of payment for a month of work. |

Nioh looks sick. Next 6 weeks are epic for me in terms of game releases. Tales of berseria, for honor, nioh, horizon zero dawn, nier automata...really strong lineup of games this year.
|
Be prepared to go through TVs and controllers with Nioh. Soooooooooooooooo hard, you're likely to break a controller or television out of sheer anger.............multiple times.
|
Did you import it? Rate it on a difficulty scale 1 to dark souls.
|
Nope. The couple demos they had out were enough to know the game is legit.
I hear rumblings from players that Dark Souls is a kinder game than this. So, let's say an 8 for starters. |

I consider buying video games an investment.
Does that count me as one of Kojima's "investors"? Or do I fall under the category of "gamer"? |
Gamer.
The investors stuff is Kojima mainly being upset at how much Konami kept pushing into the mobile and pachinko route at the cost of everything else which caused the split to happen. Neither route has really helped Konami and they picked a bad time to enter the pachinko market since it started its decline shortly afterwards. Konami was getting pissed at how long MGS V was taking to develop and the amount of money being spent since they wanted to use the extra funds for pachinko related stuff instead. On one hand, they were right to be upset since Kojima wasn't getting any closer to finishing and the project was getting too expensive to continue while on the other hand, them clashing with developmental decisions is why the game starts to fall apart near the end. |
