Microsoft is finally learning that exclusives are honestly bad for business. The more people that are paying for a game at the end of the day the better off they are.

[Deader2818]

Other reports ive found said the game was suppose to be a single player game only and Microsoft pushed them to add the 4 player multiplayer, co-op etc which is what was taking the game so long to be made.

Microsoft is really starting to push games as a "live service" so they last longer and can make more money off them with microtransacions.

Sadly really. When Spencer took over he said they were going to focus more on games and they have to some degree but they are still mostly just banking on Halo, Forza, Gears and their other games have been pretty lackluster ( Quantum Break, Recore and to a lesser extent DR4) Sunset was pretty good though.

Oh god don't get me started on how much trash DR4 is holy shit.

That would be a valid thought if it weren't for the fact that Windows 10 store games are so exceptionally fucked that I would rather buy a xbone and play it on that.

[Krandor]

UWP has gotten better, I have two Windows Store games installed (Killer Instinct and ReCore) and outside of overlay software/ReShade not working I don't have any complaints.

There's still the stupidity of moving the install files being overly complicated, but I don't really have an actual reservations about buying future "Play Anywhere" games thru their store.

RUMOR: Nintendo possibly reviving a Platinum Games game, thought to be Scalebound

[Tyrath]

Pls be this!

[theshun]

Game Informer head guy said Nintendo was bringing back a cancelled game (wants to clarify with more sources). Nintendo Insider THEORISED that it's Scalebound (since Bayonetta was massive on Nintendo and Plat has three more games for switch; Bayonetta 3 is one of them). Personally, I want MML3 since it was for 3DS and there's a complete demo that never got released.

[Kirin]

Yeah, my money is on MML3 especially since Platinum, for as amazing a job as they do, would probably be a little too burdened with 4 console games in active development.

That said, if Nintendo can help dull the edgelord-ness of this title just a little bit and this is the cancelled title, I would call that a big win.

Is this alongside the other P+ game announced for Switch? I'm totally into this as a future thing though for sure.

Platinum is listed as having Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, and a third (numerous sources have said three games in the works for Switch). My guess would be trying to get Nier on the Switch. The third could be Scalebound. Or all four (three rumored and Scalebound getting added as a fourth). They have two mobile games (Lost Order and World of Demons) and two other console games (Babylon's Fall and Granblue Fantasy: Relink; which they stopped working on Granblue Fantasy: Relink).
