Scalebound by Platinum Games

Surprised no one has mentioned this game.

Epic dodging skills, dragon riding, huge dragons... sign me up for this.

Wait, is it only for Xbone?

Yes, developed by Platinum, published by Microsoft.

The main charcater's design is terrible. I guess the headphones transform him? 2hip4me

The dragons look cool but something tells me this game would've been better off focusing on the dragons fighting each other instead of whoever this dudebro is.

Looks like dragons dogma meets panzer dragoon, which sounds cool in theory. We'll see.

He's like Bayonetta.

Beats By Deviljho.

I like how until the end the dragons just treat Sam Witwicky 2.0 like the annoying third wheel he is.

Really?

Nothing about the Gamescom footage?

I saw the gameplay footage. It looks solid enough, and commanding different kinds of dragons will be cool. Having online multiplayer is interesting, so I hope that ends up being good.

They need to work on the frame rate though. It looks like ass.

On the other hand, if there is a bundle,it could be the game that makes me get an Xbox One, because it's Platinum Games.

Aside from Anarchy Reigns, they can't go wrong.

Korra though? I thought you'd like anarchy reigns, I'm surprised.

I wish the MC looked better though...he looks incredibly douchey. I feel like Kamiya is kind of bad with designing male characters especially when they're supposed to be cool. Their coolness feel really forced although jack and Joe are pretty good designs.

To be honest, the power stone style doesn't really appeal to me.

Korra was rushed, but the combat still feels great.

I'm not sure Jack was his creation. And Joe's a cartoony SD toku hero, so not really the same type of cool. That aside, I think Kamiya kind of likes that "douchey" style, which I guess is fine. It could be a lot worse.

I liked AR alot, but it was really unpolished, and bad netcode ruins the main draw of the game.

Yeah, he may turn out to be relatable even if he looks like a douche.

I did some building at the page for Scalebound based on information so far, will expand on it later.

Scalebounds footage was pre-alpha. Expect the frame rocket to be solid 30-60 FPS by the time the game releases.

Which is worse, since it gives a bad first impression.

On the other hand the reference to The Wonderful 101 ("Team, Unite Up!") was a clever nod at least.

Being a monster fan of Hideki Kamiya, I'll definitely give this game a try.

On the note of Kamiya, he holds no contempt or ill will towards Capcom, and wouldn't mind working with them again. That's quite a heartwarming thing to say, especially after the conflicts he had with the company. Heck, he's the opposite of Keiji Inafune in that regard.

Except Keiji has the same view now and wouldn't Capcom publishing his games as well.

Really? Cause I thought it was a different member of Comcept who said that.

Now that embedding works again:

Delayed to 2017.

Aw :( Nuts.

Hey, at least P* has a licensed TMNT game, a Star Fox game and a follow up to a cult JRPG coming out this year most likely. Sure the Xbox One will only get the TMNT game but still!
