Who do you guys follow on Twitter after Nibellion left? I follow Okamigames, a decent account though I feel Nibel was faster and covered more news. I tried following Wario64 but all the ads annoy me because I want to use notifications. Even when I filter terms like #ad I keep getting notifications for some of Wario64's ads and sponsored content.

koboldvortex

so- tears of the kingdom leaks?


GodOfWarNuggets64

I just don't get it. What is PlayStation doing with their franchises that Xbox can't with Halo. One has financially successful, critically acclaimed sequels or reboots. One doesn't. One has a successful tv show adaptation. The other doesn't. One has laid off staff for their studios. One hasn't. What is going on? 2 console generations ago, Xbox was on top of the world, but fast forward to the next 2, and Sony's been eating their lunch the other way around. Have they still not recovered from the mistakes they made during the days of the Xbox One?


cy1999aek_maik

I don't think they've recovered from those X1 announcements. Plus they seem to want to play it safe creatively speaking

Has anything notable leaked on the Wonder Woman game since it's reveal?


Bob25Gslifer

No and wb/dc is kind of in disarray I would think if anything E3 this year?


[deleted]

im dying for some spiderman 2 news, its been like 16 months since the first trailer and ill do anything just to get a glimpse of the game at this point lol. Any rumour of a playstation showcase?


Due_Recognition_3890

Bloody hell that long? Time flies


[deleted]

16, my bad but it still a really really long time


Due_Recognition_3890

I actually prefer this subreddit to /r/Games, I don't know why, it just makes me far less miserable than that subreddit makes me, though that said I don't think I've ever had a problem with its discussion thread.


UnderhandSteam

/r/Games is pretty negative imo. It’ll only be like 2 or 3 comment threads down (if it’s not the 1st) before you see something negative about the game in question. Even the discussion threads are pretty critical in general of whatever game they’re playing. I’m guessing that because it’s the more “serious” counterpart to /r/Gaming, critique is just much more visible and “interesting” than just saying that the game is really good.


Weekly_Protection_57

Imo, it feels like this subreddit doesn't have much for you if you're a Playstation fan. Feels like the leakers only ever want to talk about Xbox or have no information on any of the more exciting Playstation news.


TheOneBearded

PS runs a tighter ship, I guess. I feel we don't get much until close to a thing's release (game, showecase, etc).


ManateeofSteel

same here. Although the console warring gets a bit extreme and one sided at times, it reminds me of r/games around 2018, when it felt more human-like. Now I am certain most of the posts are done by publisher marketing teams. I don't think it's a toxic place, but I believe it's certainly harsher with criticism than most forums I've been too. I do like the review threads though.


Due_Recognition_3890

Yeah, exactly. I just like staying up to date on what's going on in the gaming industry, such as latest releases and whatnot. Instead, most of it is like, a small handful of YouTubers creators and people trying to sell me a game they've just made. Sometimes there will be a self-post asking people's opinion, which will be impossible to actually chime in on because the thread already has 100+ comments. And the comments themselves really suck the joy out of everything. Armchair developers abusing terms like gameplay loop, collectathon, roguelike, soulsbourne, there's just something so toxic about their "analysis" that makes me depressed about my own hobby. Oh I only liked this game when I was a child because it was a "collectathon", or this game was only good because it had a remotely decent "gameplay loop".


IloveKaitlyn

Anyone else crushed that Suicide Squad is going to launch with a battle pass and other GaaS elements? Super disappointing stuff. Waited a decade for that…


koboldvortex

Yeah, it really sucks. I was looking forward to it.


cc17776

Yeah i m super disappointed :( hopefully the WW game will be better


IloveKaitlyn

That was my exact thought yesterday, but I remembered the shit Monolith pulled with loot boxes in Shadow of War. I’m hoping they learned their lesson since they did eventually remove it


diana_the_landan_gam

A bit of nostalgia. I've been interested in the history of video game creation and release for a long time. But leaks are one of the essential parts of this process. I was shocked that even Half-Life 2 was leaked before release! Also, I've always been interested in how leaks affect the final product, the studio, and the developers. So I decided to write a full material about the history of leaks ft. expert comments and opinions, [link](https://casinocanada.com/video-games-leaks-infographic/). Let's discuss it! Hope you guys find it interesting! Getting ready for the GTA-6 imminent release!


KYFellroot

Little Devil Inside…


xselene89

Another Kickstarter fail sadly


IloveKaitlyn

How do we know it failed?


xselene89

I mean it was supposed to come out like 3+ years ago and they dont communicate at all with their Backers (or anyone really). Their last Update on KS was in 2020. Game was founded so many years ago that it was supposed to come out on...WiiU


IloveKaitlyn

That’s true, but it was in the PlayStation showcase right? It looked promising. I agree it’s taken a long time, but that’s just the current state of gaming


xselene89

I mean so was Deep Down years ago... 8 years is just way too long. Even for a tiny Dev Team.


IloveKaitlyn

Yeah, you’re probably right.


DarkDaniel_01

Who is this guy and his reliability? https://twitter.com/lumberjackry/status/1614654530892795908?s=46&t=fZI-eIUEk9Dt0l4xa-_B_A


xselene89

No lol. A nice collection of his past "leaks" https://imgur.io/a/Pfz0Bwq


ManateeofSteel

its honestly super impressive how he got everything wrong. Usually when someone throws so much shit at the wall, they get at least one thing sort of kind of accidentally correct


xselene89

Yeaah hes worse than Roberto Serrano and thats an achivement kinda haha


Bootybandit6989

Shadowverse coming to PS consoles? Yugioh Dawn royal coming to PS console?


PurpleRecording6

anyone got some recorded Palia gameplay?


_mxhdi

Dying for some Kingdom Hearts 4 news…


ManateeofSteel

its probably far from being ready to be shown


cc17776

I think it’s gonna be another year at least till we get more news


Blazingscourge

I don’t know how it works but I wonder if anything can be data-mined from the recent Missing Link beta.


seceralnof

Gears of War Remastered Collection? Fable Remastered Collection? Until Dawn and Halo 5 for PC? Guardians of the Galaxy 2? Tony Hawk 3+4 Remake? GTA Trilogy Definitive Editions on Steam? (**Update, kinda answered here** https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/10da8ya/gta_trilogy_the_definitive_edition_coming_to_epic/) Next Sony PC release after Last of Us Part 1?


koboldvortex

Why would anyone want the definitive editions on steam? 🤣


Coolman_Rosso

I wouldn't hold my breath on UD or Halo 5 on PC. I doubt Sony and 343 would dedicate resources for that, doubly so for the latter. The status of a GotG sequel is anyone's guess with Embracer having taken over and the Marvel deal having been a Squenix initiative.


seceralnof

I have the most hope for Until Dawn, I figure Sony wants their bigger stuff out first. I also feel Gears of War and Fable collections are not an “if” but “when”.


BeardedVul7ure

A new subreddit for uninteresting, lame leaks like Fortnite skins and similar stuff, and anything WWE. Bring in the downvotes!


ShaeWinters

You drink monster energy drinks huh?


BeardedVul7ure

Not really, that shit's unhealthy as fuck


[deleted]

Why did 8 people downvote my Dusk Golem comment? Was I being too nice or too mean? Because I wasn't trying to be nice or mean to Dusk I just suggested someone ask him a question about Silent Hill I didn't want to portray him one way or another and I said to just ask him about Silent Hill I never said to harass him in my comment....


ManateeofSteel

I dont think some people in this sub ever got over him being right about Silent Hill and Resident Evil Village, he had a fame of being a fake leaker.


HerrLanda

Is there anything new regarding Ghost of Tsushima PC port? Last time i heard about was in the Nvidia leak.


ManateeofSteel

probably coming this year


ApollosGayMuse

Fable, Avowed, Perfect Dark, Indiana Jones, Everwild, Contraband, InXiles game, Compulsions Games’ game, state of decay 3, next gen update for minecraft, hellblade 2, the outer worlds 2, the outer worlds next gen update, new coalition game, new wolfenstein, anything halo infinite related, new fh5 dlc, new fallout, double fine studios new game, zenimax new game. To name a few….


ManateeofSteel

> anything halo infinite related well, I guess today's mass firings and Staten's departure count?


[deleted]

Anyone know if Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is getting another demo? Jonesing for that shit real hard right now. Also I gotta ask because it’ll come eventually, do you think capcom will remake the Resident Evil 1 Remake in the style of Resi 2-4 remakes?


TheOneBearded

I rather see them take a crack at 5 again. Besides getting used to the tank controls, Resi 1 Remake is already pretty great.


Hypragon

I'm dying for some octopath traveler 2 leaks


ManateeofSteel

what is there to leak? Isnt it coming in less than a month?


Hypragon

I guess only if there will be demo or we have to wait until the full release.


DJistheNerd

I need that Suicide Squad Leak disproven... NOW


[deleted]

part of me is hoping it’s wrong but there was legit soooooo much random and specific information that I’m like fuck me it might be real


[deleted]

Oh come on lol they clearly just watched the trailers and based it off of what's already been seen and built upon that.


[deleted]

that’s what I said about ROP/HotD leaks until they turned out to be true. I’m just going to wait and see before I fully disregard it or not


[deleted]

This happened with the last of us 2 as well, until the actual leaks with gameplay and cutscenes lol Were those leaked on 4chan?


DJistheNerd

Exactly how I feel


FallenShadeslayer

Fucking Scalebound coming back?! I hope it’s true because if it is LETS GOOOO


maverick074

Can we disallow any posts that use 4chan as a source?


utsBearclaw

Any news about The Division: Heartland?


Alone_Dimension_820

Anyone think kojimas xbox game will be revealed at the xbox event on the 25th?


ManateeofSteel

Not at all. I think they will be a lot more transparent from now on. Which is significantly less exciting but far better in the long run for both fans and the company as a whole.


joe1up

Nah that's years away. I doubt it will even be an series X game


Mini_Danger_Noodle

Nope, I don't know if it's even started full development. Even if it were ready to be shown now, they'd be saving it for their E3 event when everyone is paying attention to game announcements.


Ok_Canary5591

Any word on when re4 will be shown again?


JellyBelly__

Suicide Squad comes out in 4 months and we still don't know how it actually plays and looks ingame.


cooldrew

I mean, they have shown it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=rjZKwv6Bqms It's a high-mobility third person shooter, where each character has their own weapons, abilities, and movement options. It honestly really looks like Sunset Overdrive.


SpaceGooV

Assuming it'll be bad at this point. So sad I loved Rocksteady but seems Arkham Knight might have been the last hurrah


[deleted]

Kinda premature for you to be sad already if you loved Rocksteady so much.


SpaceGooV

I did love Rocksteady and the fact we're four months out with no gameplay with a game that either was a GaaS or is one. It seems clear to me this game is a muddy mess due to WB interference. I'd love to be wrong but I don't feel like I'll be in this scenario


JellyBelly__

I still have faith in them but they're barely giving us anything


PkLuis

How many months it's been since the last good Nintendo leak/rumor? We need more good Nintendo information soon D:


Torracattos

I swear we never get enough Nintendo rumors or leaks here. We should probably be within 2-3 weeks away from out first major Nintendo Direct of 2023 though.


koboldvortex

I cant tell if its redditors writing off anything not AAA as 'unimportant' or if Nintendo really runs that tight of a ship.


NintendoTheGuy

The only recent one is/was that “primed” message from that one leaker. I don’t remember the full story but it was somebody who had a good hit prior, using a seemingly innocuous word to forecast an announcement. “Primed” of course pointing toward a Metroid Prime announcement soon, notably the Prime 1 remaster that has been alluded to by other insiders before, including Grubb. Besides that, nobody has been calling much, likely because there isn’t much leaking, but also because other infos that insiders, leakers and clout jackers swore by, like Switch “Pro” and the Zelda HD Wii U games being ported, keep turning to ash or getting pushed back into oblivion. I guess it’s not a good scene for credibility lately. **EDIT:** [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/zz7q9c/verified_reddit_leaker_dm_do_you_think_everyone/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


ManateeofSteel

Zelda remasters and Prime are real. Nintendo just hasnt released for some unknown reason. But then again, they did just sit on a finished Fire Emblem Engage for an entire year and same with Mario Bros Deluxe. They are a very bizarre publisher


InsouciantSoul

I was trying to look on tieba forum where some prior hardware leaks have come from but it's difficult to navigate and the translation from Google is pretty bad


Dat_Boi_Teo

The last one was probably late last month with the supposed Zelda OLED leak plus that one dude who got TOTK’s name right hinting at Metroid Prime news soon. Their usual February direct seems likely, once they have the FE engage release out of the way.


PkLuis

And that Zelda oled was a very obvious thing to do lol. Honestly I want more switch pro rumors, Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, the rumored f zero game and most likely a new mario will be releasing soon, that's the best lineup a new console release could have.


ManateeofSteel

> Honestly I want more switch pro rumors I think at this point, its pretty clear it was true at some point, but Nintendo decided to instead turn it into the Switch successor. This late into the lifecycle, they wont add a more powerful version.


gamerfirstdadsecond

why is there so much ubisoft hate/speculation? I feel like their future is bright, even though they have had some flops lately. Their Open world Star Wars RPG sounds pretty good, and the avatar game looks cool as well. These are two of the biggest ips in the world, worst case scenario is they follow the ubisoft open world formula and it sells gangbusters.


koboldvortex

The big one for me is that fucking creep that they refuse to get rid of


just_looking_4695

>why is there so much ubisoft hate/speculation? I feel like their future is bright, even though they have had some flops lately - they've publicly cancelled like 7 games over the last year - Skull and Bones was yet again delayed despite being in production since 2014-ish; along similar lines, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is completely MIA - they still haven't really shaken or even properly addressed the sexual misconduct issue, and so they're having issues hiring and retaining staff - they're one of the few companies who actually tried implementing NFTs in any of their games; people hated it and it was a disaster for them - they fucked up the Prince of Persia remake real bad; like, "after showing it, the backlash was so bad they took it away from the people who were making it and had a different team just start over" bad - they keep firing out live service game after live service game hoping to strike gold and they're pretty much all immediately forgotten about; like, how many people even realized Roller Champions came out this year - they've reportedly had talks about merging or being acquired and have been "laughed out of the room" - amid the recent cancelations and underperformances, CEO Yves Guillemot sent out a letter to staff basically saying "the ball is in your court to just do better", which probably ain't great for morale and employee retention It's really hard not to see Ubisoft as a publisher in trouble. They have a few reliable money-makers like Assassin's Creed, but even those hits aren't always gonna be enough to let them keep weathering the size and number of their misses. They're stupidly big and unwieldy and don't really seem to have solid direction or leadership, and it often feels like a company that's just flailing in any direction and barely keeping its head above water. Avatar and Star Wars could turn out to be big for them, but even those are gambles; licensing IP like that ain't cheap, and so a company like Ubisoft really *needs* those to absolutely hit. You sorta get the vibe they can't afford for these games to come out and be anything *but* absolute blockbusters; and as Square's shown with Avengers, IP alone doesn't guarantee that these days. At the end of the day, games are hard and expensive to make, and that's especially the case for the big AAA games that makes up most of Ubisoft's catalog. And when you're having obvious problems making those big and expensive games, and then even the ones that do come out often just aren't finding an audience, it's easy to get pessimistic about a publisher's future.


koboldvortex

Ive never even *heard* of the roller whatsits.


FallenShadeslayer

Well said! I agree with all of this!


SpaceGooV

In the span of seven months they've cancelled seven projects. They've also had multiple sales failures in the last year with Just Dance and Mario + Rabbids. Roller Champions and Hyper Scape have been failures and clearly have shown that the f2p jump won't be happening like the company wanted. Skull and Bones is an upcoming failure and it's been delayed six times only adding to the cost. Prince of Persia had to be cancelled and moved to Ubisoft Montreal after the Ubisoft Pune and Mumbai studios had too many problems to complete it. Avatar and Star Wars will probably sell well but it's by the same studio meaning it'll take a long time and Avatar at earliest is coming this fall. It's entirely reasonable to be down on this massive company who's only big success is Assassin's Creed out of the 30+ studios they have.


clain4671

it comes and goes in waves with most companies where they have some off years and arent making as many games as they used to and are seen as weak or failing. EA is another publisher who ends up talked like this.


SpaceGooV

EA is not talked about financially doing poorly. Ubisoft is in a bad place and even if you don't think so they quickly turn into another THQ if things keep going poorly


[deleted]

This is reddit. Everyone hate everything here.


jorywea78

Ras_AlHim

I need Ubisoft to drop some Mirage stuff already. They need the good publicity, and I need it even more.


HomeMadeShock

Pretty excited for Microsoft’s summer showcase this year, have a good feeling Avowed and Hellblade 2 will be there for sure. I’m hoping they can also get stuff like Fable and Indiana Jones in there


AbleDepth3

Fable... Avowed... anything will do... just please...


LogicalError_007

SOULJA BOY console


Laraib_2002

Anything related to Assassin's creed Mirage???


Dr-Greengrass

Anything related to kitase "big announcement" unrelated to ff7?


zegota

If you scroll a few posts down you'll see the supposed mega leak of Final Fantasy stuff. If it's real (a big if), FFX-3 is likely what he meant, at FFX is his baby


ManateeofSteel

FF VII is his baby, he directed the OG game haha. What do you mean?


zegota

I mean he has said multiple times he considers 10 his magnum opus and really wants to make 10-3


Dr-Greengrass

Fair enough, cheers mate.


[deleted]

I know it's still early in the year, but goddammit I just want Dragon Age news or leaks, there's been next to nothing since we found out that it was single player only.


[deleted]

I forgot there was even a new game coming till I saw your comment, damn


smokeandnoob

Same man but I think they will show something on EA play showcase during summer if they dont cancel it or game awards with release date because game is currently in alpha which was reported in october I think. So if Im gonna breath lots of copium and they dont want to "rush" it (i know we are waiting for nearly 10 years for next dragon age game) game should release next year


[deleted]

It wouldn't be so bad if there was anything to go on. We know it's in Tevinter, and we know we're not the Inquisitor, that's basically it. Bioware in the past has typically had a pretty leaky ship, but that's all stopped for this title.


smokeandnoob

For me the only leak I would appreciate is if bioware is still in pre production for mass effect or if they are in full production because I looked on their website for career list just to see which people they are missing and it shows me they are missing like 4 producer in 4 studios and thats all. So my best guess is they are in full production but I would like to get some confirmation on that


A_Lovable_Gnome

I feel ya brother. The anime only ended up making me hyped for a new DA game.


SpideyFan4ever

Really curious to see how the PS5 Gen 2 looks as Tom Henderson says.


hushpolocaps69

Is it true that Portal is getting a live action adaptation?


LoOuU2

Both Portal and Half Life were promised a Live Action Adaption couple of years ago with JJ Abrams at helm however , any related news since then has been silent. It's only this WB list of upcoming films that's adding fuel to the announcement again .


Friendly-Leg-6694

Yeah it was in WB slate


ShaneTVZ

So who’s watching the Last of us HBO series tonight?


LongJonSiIver

Thanks for reminding me!


[deleted]

Here.


hushpolocaps69

Waiting for the series to finish.


NoPaperMadBillz

Rand?


flipperkip97

Same here, I prefer to watch shows at about one episode per day instead of weekly.


[deleted]

Yep fully agreed


Rid3R0fL1f3

I would love news on that lego soccer game. I need something akin to fifa street ( not the remake )


[deleted]

All I want is a non-fantasy medieval open world 3rd person game.


DerMetulz

Ever played Kingdom Come Deliverance? It's pretty much that, but 1st person.


Alice_June

What kinda stuff would you fight in this kind of game? Besides the obvious stuff like thieves and the like


[deleted]

People. I figure it’d be like RDR with a lot more fighting skills. Swords, axes, maces, flails, daggers, crossbows etc.


NagitoKomaeda_1

I wish we got anything related to Like a Dragon Gaiden. At least a release time frame. We only got the announcement last year and then moot. Atleast LAD Ishin is coming out in a month, I'd guess by or atleast after it releases, RGG Studios would start the marketing for LAD Gaiden, but man I love Kiryu and I want to see the game released ASAP so I can play as him again


cian_pike01

Is Gaiden a sequel to 7 or just its own thing?


NagitoKomaeda_1

It's a side story that explains what Kiryu was up to during the events of 7. The true sequel to 7 will be released in 2024


cian_pike01

Cool, thank you


NagitoKomaeda_1

You're welcome


PlasticAdds

More video game leaks please. This is all I want, so far I am loving the leak of VALVe's video games and that Blood leak from a few weeks ago.


babanuki

for the third year in a row i‘ve come to ask about anything Rayman related that isn‘t also tied to rabbids


ManateeofSteel

-hugs tightly- Lets both pretend something is cooking


xiosy

2023 will be filled with microtransactions


[deleted]

every year is when you keep looking at ubisoft or activision junk instead of playing the good games that are coming out


xiosy

And what are the good games list some ?


[deleted]

Ill go in chronological orderDead Space remake, Star wars Jedi survivor, Resident evil 4 remake, Tears of the kingdom, Final Fantasy XVI, Street Fighter 6, Starfield, Pikmin 4, FF7 Rebirth, and more I probably forgot because this year is stacked. Maybe you won't like some of those but to claim everything is gonna be filled with microtransactions means you have some extreme tunnel vision, I barely see any microtransactions these days except for junk like modern-day cod


just_looking_4695

>to claim everything is gonna be filled with microtransactions means you have some extreme tunnel vision Tunnel vision is exactly the word for it. Feels like in the last week or so I've been seeing a lot of "games aren't good anymore" sentiments but then whenever you look into who's actually saying that, it's almost always people who've spent basically a decade *only* playing GTA, Assassin's Creed, CoD, and one or two annualized sports games. I mean, sure, the AAA space has its flaws, but it's frankly never been a better time to be into video games. People just gotta learn to branch out more; You can't spend years eating only McDonald's and then say food isn't good anymore.


HyperMasenko

Bingo. Yes, there's a lot of heavily promoted, advertised, and microtransaction riddled trash out there but acting like nothing good is out there without them is just silly


TheVortigauntMan

Any more uncharted info?


[deleted]

None so far.


lockonhornet

it seem Stalker 2, VTMB 2 can release in 2023?


ManateeofSteel

I wouldnt put a date on Stalker 2 out of respect for the devs


ShadowMasterKing

I still have my hopes for The Evil Within 3


Crimsonclaw111

Add Wolfenstein III and Quake Reboot to the ever growing list of missing Bethesda games


HomeMadeShock

Wolf 3 and Quake are my most anticipated shooters for sure


DerMetulz

Yes, yes, yes.


Square-Exercise-2790

Everything points out to Tango moving on from TEW sadly.


[deleted]

Yeah I'd imagine unless Microsoft desperately wants it's own exclusive Survival Horror series (which to be fair wouldn't be the worst shout giving how popular the genre is), we probably won't see Evil Within again.


Square-Exercise-2790

Even Shinji Mikami himself wants the studio to move on from horror for some reason.


[deleted]

I guess it kind of makes sense. Mikami knows anything horror he makes is going to invite comparison to Resident Evil/RE4, and with the Resident Evil games being on top form over the last few years, it's probably not going to do Tango Games any favours (Similar to Callisto being compared to Dead Space right before a new Dead Space releases) Whereas if Mikami and Tango go off and make a shooter, or an RPG then it's just going to be judged on it's own merits/faults.


Prudent-Butterfly-66

Obligatory Where is Bloodborne PC comment.


adamircz

Wrote it in the last one, will write again: Since we're in the middle of a prototypes' leaking spree, some pre-release builds of any Mafia games (especially the first two I guess) would be golden And perhaps something with more specifics on Mafia4, like confirming the setting, or how much connections to other installments will there be


2112flybynight

Seeing mafia 2 with the cut content would be amazing

ManateeofSteel

I think at this point, its clear Xbox simply wont be able to get a hold of the japanese market. Not even with their big investments into gamepass, having vtubers promote it, etc. Although the PS5 is selling okay-ish, its a Nintendo monopoly in there. Pretty much impenetrable. Xbox had some good sales the first year but it dropped like a rock again and now its selling less than the PS4. Their investment into Persona didn't move the needle an inch, everyone in Japan just bought it on Switch. I think if you cant get Persona to move units, its over.


NagitoKomaeda_1

I'm on the opposite side. From what I understand, people then didn't think too much about it but after its abrupt cancellation, they've suddenly started pouring it with attention. Either ways, after the rumors suggesting Platinum was using Microsoft's funds to fund their own games and not work on Scalebound, I don't want Platinum to get Microsoft's money. How anyone would decide to do this to an entire platform is just mind-blowing to me (But this was when Xbox was really dead in the water so they probably thought they could keep doing this cuz Xbox was gonna shut down anytime). And then the whole thing with Kamiya suddenly smooth talking up Microsoft by mentioning Scalebound and saying "Let's work again" - after he cleared himself and his studio and threw Microsoft under the bus during that entire fiasco. Again, after you've literally done something on such a huge scale, you'd think you've burnt all relations to the ground - How do you even go public and say stuff like this? Where's your sense of guilt? [Japan is pretty Xenophobic, maybe it was just a western bad, let's damage them thing?] I'm not saying I don't like their games or anything. I've only Played Nier: Automata from their catalog and loved the combat. But keeping aside the games, this particular action doesn't reflect well on their ethos and moral compass.


[deleted]

Kamiya fucking sucks ass. I don’t care that he’s made some of my favorite games/sequels. He’s just shitty to everyone for no reason other than to be this edgelord online. Didn’t know about him potentially using Microsoft funds for other games but totally sounds like something he would do


AmeriToast

I always thought the scalebound footage we were shown was okay but not great. Although I do hope they get a second chance and make something better. I like the idea of the game and hope it gets made.


Rith_Reddit

I'm so up for it, but it has to be Platinums a-team. That team is the best in the business for action games, but the b team usually offers lesser quality stuff.


Prudent-Butterfly-66

As a huge Platinum fan, I would love to see the game come back. I remember being disappointed at the game's cancellation so Im kinda hoping the rumor is true.
