Yeah... I was really looking forward to it too. It would have likely taken a back seat to mass effect andromeda for a month and collected dust.... But I would have bought and played it anyway. It's different to a lot of other games on the market and... Well... Dragons. It's really hard to fuck dragons up so it would have been a decent game more likely than not.

I feel less pain than I did for star wars 1313, mind you. That breaks my heart to this day

oh a trolling topic with a lot of anime people......

From what I have seen, it was going to be slashing giant brains and guts in co-cop, you would have to pay me to play something like that, no wonder they cancelled it.

It can't be MS because canceling the game is actually a good thing. Exclusives are bad.

Exactly. Investing millions of millions in a game where the outcome might be tiny and that is potentially not ready for years to come is better because it won't appear in list wars where people fight for exclusives. Spending money blind is good.

EA hired the the head writer of Uncharted to work for them on a Star Wars game. I believe its the remnants of 1313 because essentially the game was an Uncharted rip-off to begin with. It would make sense if they used her for the storytelling.

Then you mistaken Microsofts intentions. Microsoft has always wanted to have a list war with Sony since they know their first party is great. Microsoft wants to boast the same things. They want to be able to say whatever Sony does, we can do it better. This is why Spencer has always alluded to first party being a problem at Microsoft.

Third party is needed to have a console run, but exclusives differentiate the brand and allow the console developer to sell their brand on their own identity.

See having exclusives can be bad because of sparking console wars, but at the same time, it makes people who have one of the consoles to look forward to all of the time.

Don't give them the benefit of the doubt. The reason SB was canceled was due to the fact that MS performed the MS developer/publisher maneuver. They wrapped their tentacles around Platinum and started to squeeze. Then they started probing the brain through the ears, mouth, and nose. The host was semi-compliant for a time, but still resisting. Eventually, the host rejected the procedure, and the effort was aborted. Classic.

What I hate more than anything is how people suddenly think Scalebound was the second coming. I admit I wanted to buy it but it was really going to be a blind purchase. After the announcement, I went to Scalebound videos to see what people thought about it. It was mildly positive. Now, everyone so pissed because "This was the game that was going to make me buy an Xbox One". Either that or I see comments from other fanbases laughing at other's misfortunes.

I was hurt when Silent Hills was cancelled but it wasn't the end of the world. Neither is this.
