There is a reason for people to trust more Platinum Games than Microsoft on the case of Scalebound. That is historic. PG have delivered a lot of loved games while MS cancelled several games this gen plus had a rocky release schedule. But of course we could all be wrong and it be all fault of PG, nothing related to hate.

It also sounds like Platinum may have spread themselves too thin. Development started in late 2013 with a planned late 2016 release. In that time frame Platinum also was developing

Bayonetta 2 (Sept 2014)

The Legend of Korra (Oct 2014)

Transformers: Devastation (Oct 2015)

Star Fox: Zero (Apr 2016)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (May 2016)

Neir: Automata (Feb 2017)

 

That's a pretty significant output for a team of ~200 people so to add what seemed like a rather ambitious game was probably just too much.

You are right on it. If PG knew they wouldn't be able to deliver that would be on them. But seems like there were additional pushes from MS that made it unfeasible.
