Scalebound Cancelled?

[Antwan]

if the product isn't at an acceptable point, and it will cost x amount of money and y amount of time, and it's already costing too much to make it worthwhile, i could easily see why they shut it down. it was an extremely inefficient machine that cost more to run than the value of what it could produce.

it wasn't all or nothing. it was a studio taking way too long to be worth continually paying. it turned into a bad investment.

When it's put that way I can kinda get what you're saying.
I suppose they could've overused the hours, milked them, but it didn't look like that to me.
It looked like a polished attempt, something that would definitely live up to if not surpass MGRR and DMC. Which were both good IMO.

I'll also add that they already invested some of the money
The game was near due to release
To end it all was to save how much REALLY?

it's from over a week ago


edit:

"Scalebound was last seen in public back at Gamescom 2016 in August. Since then, the relationship between Microsoft and Osaka-based developer Platinum Games dramatically soured.

Work on the game took a serious knock last autumn, Eurogamer sources say, when several senior members of the development team were forced to take a month away from the pressure of the project's heavy workload.

These project members then returned, but Scalebound was now behind schedule. With continuing issues surrounding the game's engine and overdue deadlines, the decision was made that the project could no longer continue."
