AH C'MON! I was wanting to play it on PC if it reviewed well. MS, please. Don't cancel your most interesting-looking game this year. And if you do, give Platinum the code and allow them to shop it to someone else.

It is just a matter of who the IP belongs. And how long the exclusivity goes.

I belive the game code is Platinum´s property. MS could force them to never reuse the games assets.

If they missed all contracts dead line there is noting to blame MS for being thoughtfull with their money. A 5 years development cycle was insane to begin with.

Looks like the scale of the game was too much...

...so it was bound to get cancelled.

How can you overlook something so obvious?

I wanted to see if anyone was clever enough to finish it. Congratulations! You win!

Don't know why my OP is now shit... this website.. smh.

And agreed King; MS needs to have a solid E3, because right now this doesn't look good for Scorpio. Since MS owns the IP I guess they could give it to someone else. MS needs to speak out about this soon.

Anyway, I am glad that the game is toast.

I am too honestly. Game continued to look worse everytime they showed it, and it's been too long sicne the reveal. Would rather them focus on Bayo 3 on Switch.

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.
