and another reason to buy a xbox one is gone, also another uniqe titel for the xbox one. and above all else another japanese made game gone..

MS needs to step up their game.Their first party selection was mediocre at best already.Now it is looking worse by the day.

I get the feeling they want to be a Steam of sorts with them uniting the PC and XBox parts.I just dont see many people interested in it.

Lmao

Would not shock me. Xbox's third party exclusives have all been very disappointing in terms of sales and more importantly, Platinum Games' resources have been seriously stretched thin. Since the start of 2013, they have put out or initiated development of Metal Gear Rising Revengence, The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, The Legend of Korra, Transformers: Devastation, Star Fox: Zero, Star Fox: Guard, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, Nier: Automata, and Scalebound. For the past two years they have been working simultaneously on *SIX* games. When you consider the fact Scalebound was pretty likely to bomb or at least disappoint, has been having development woes, and looks to be the largest possible resource hog of Platinum's many works, it would make sense that if any project were to be shelved, it would be Scalebound. And if the IP is tied up with MS via ownership or contract and the future of the Xbox brand is in question or at least Platinum's continued relationship with MS...well it's as good as canned.

Monolith would be the perfect developers for Nintendo to pair with Platinum Games in order to get this project on track. I think that's where they went wrong, is Platinum were making something so large outside of their comfort zone with no back up experience to turn to when things went off track. Microsoft seems like a company that's so hands off when they throw money at something and check on it later it's either amazing or a pile of mess and in shambles.

Like King said, they've shown time and time again, they don't care about getting better. 

It was one of my most anticipated games this year along with Zelda:BOTW and FF VII Remake. Also, this is not good for MS Studios reputation as well as Platinum Games

It looked garbage to be honest, especially if people start to compare it to Horizon Zero Dawn.

But at the same time their biggest franchises (excluding Forza) are on the decline, and they can't continue on with basically no first party. M$ is in a really tough spot right now. I still say they should keep tossing money at smaller titles like recore and Ori and hope some turn out great. An added benefit is that those smaller projects should be portable to Windows Phone soon enough, which would tie into their whole universal Windows thing quite well.

Scumbag Microsoft:
-Cancels Phantom Dust remake
-Cancels Lionhead Studios' Fable Legends
-Cancels Platinum Games' Scalebound

... Releases Keiji Inafune's Recore ...

A good chunk of the Xbox One 2014 E3 is pretty much irrelevant now... Makes you really wonder what kind of future Microsoft genuinely has for Xbox.
