Pretty terrible news. It looked underwhelming but given the talent at the studio I was still optimistic it would end up being at least a 7/10, and given it's a JRPG, would be a much needed addition to X1's lineup.

I would say MS need to be worried, given another cancellation, the fact that Crackdown 3 seems to be progressing slowly, if at all, and because Halo and Gears aren't what they used to be, commercially or critically. But I'm not convinced they care anymore.

If the game was crap and wasn't going to review well, It would of done nothing to boost the X1 lineup. THe game wasn't going to be good better to cancel it then to release a broken or bad game that everyone will complain about and tranish Microsoft studios reputation. 

My most anticipadeted game is still State of Decay 2, studios like undead labs that's were Microsfot need to spend more money. 

 

 

I was talking about the idea of the game being what MS needed, a Japanese RPG from a popular, talented studio. I mean, that's all we can talk about before a game is released, it's potential. I also didn't say it shouldn't of been cancelled. You can cancel a game if it is beyond saving, but it still shows mismanagement, from MS, Platinum or both

As for tarnishing Microsoft Studios reputation, I don't think they have much of a reputation to ruin at this point.
