We don't really know if the game was any good but it seemed pretty unique. But it could have also been another Recore in regard to quality.

This is my thinking aswell. I was talking to a friend about this scenario today and I mentioned that I think if Recore, and to a lesser extent Quantum Break had done better (both commercially and critically) then they may have been more likely to be more lenient with Scalebound but they just aren't willing to lose money on another unknown quanity.

Agreed.

They've had some bad luck with 3rd party games. DR4 is another project they threw money at without receiving much fanfare.

I feel like Scalebound should have just been a Bayonetta and DMC type game. Probably would have been cheaper to create and people would have been excited for another one of those from Platinum.

MS has big plans for X1, curious to see what direction they go for exclusive titles. I don't think they'll rely soley on established IPs.
