- Xbone exclusive has been delayed to 2017

- PlatinumGames explains why:

In order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations, we will be launching the game in 2017. This will give us the time needed to bring to life all the innovative features and thrilling gameplay experiences that we have planned.

PlatinumGames is currently developing Scalebound, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, Nier 2 (PS4), Project Guard (WiiU) and Star Fox Zero (WiiU)

Platinum Games talk why they make console exclusives, talk Bayonetta

Yeah, not surprised. Platinum is stretched way too thin and the game was running like crap when it was shown.

Also, let the record show that the first 2016 game that was delayed to 2017 wasn't a PS4 game.

Sounds reasonable, it's always better to have the game released when the developer feel satisfied with the end product.

And so it begins.

MS getting complacent?

Seriously, not really a surprise. Would have been lost in the holidays anyway, so an early 2017 release will probably be better for the game commercially (still not going to sell well though).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I needed this!

Well, it isn't like they cancelled the thing, you know? :P

christ,.. that was fast. it's like only 4 days into 2016. i always expected quite a few of the massive number of 2016 games to get delayed to 2016 but this is sooner than i would expect an announcement to be made.

its better to delay this game. releasing this in holiday 2016 would have killed it. going up against Mass Effect, Battlefield,GT6, CoD, gears, Assassins Creed and Destiny 2. along side what ever is going to be released in holiday 2016 that is yet to be announced? it wouldnt stand a chance.
