well its just the reveal trailer of scalebound, and after the new DOOM turned out to be the opposite of Duke Nukem Forever, I've learned not to judge a game harshly by its reveal trailer/fake gameplay

still lolling that there was no unedited, always run, PC single player footage until less than a week before launch and it was nvidia that did it

Agree that Scalebound looks like poo poo though

I dunno, I never was really grabbed by the gameplay of any of the DMC games - I only played the first two, though. It felt like 3D CastleVania to me. That's not to say I didn't like them - I did! - but I dunno. It didn't feel deep, gameplay-wise. Style over substance. Just my opinion. Scalebound looks hella boring, though.

Well poo poo, that's interesting. Is that going to be retroactive, too, like Halo 5 and stuff? Or is it just going forward?

But yeah I also don't expect a whole lot out of Microsoft-run gaming services. I remember GFWL.

The two games people really want, Halo 5 and Forza 6, aren't coming to Windows 10. :/

DMC was a little restrained by its resident evil roots, but 3 and 4 (not kamiya games, mind) and Bayonetta have lots of stuff to them

e: DMC2 was a garbage trashfire that capcom rushed right out the door when DMC1 sold

Sony's was basically non-stop gameplay and trailers with very little talking, if you just wanna watch some trailers and game reveals. The rest you should probably look up summaries for because there's the usual marketing monologues and awkward "guy standing on a stage pretending to have fun" stuff.

His last two games (Bayonetta and Wonderful 101) were really good. Scalebound just doesn't look very Platinum/Kamiya to me. There's been a distinct lack of interesting-looking combat and combos and I feel like they'd have shown that off by now if that's what the game was going to be like.

Kamiya, Clover, and Platinum have made some very good non-character action games. I'm hesitant on Scalebound but it's not like they only knows how to make one kind of game.

I watched a bit of the demo on a stream and thought, "This doesn't look at all like Resident Evil," then the player picked up a key and there was this great video-gamey sound effect and I felt right at home.

It has my attention for sure and no RE game has really done that since 4.

Yeah, that's true. I think what I mean is that Scalebound itself just doesn't look that inspiring, but they also just haven't shown very much aside from "you can fight big monsters with a dragon buddy and also co-op online." Maybe it'll surprise me like Dragon's Dogma did and be a super-fun action-RPG.

DMC1 is really really old and DMC2 is the one nobody likes, really not a strong foundation for that conclusion.

A hero must cook
Scalebound looks like it's trying to be something different like Okami far more than it's trying to by any of Kamiya's more "typical" fare. Okami was fun, but in a completely different way from Bayonetta. I'm willing to play wait and see with Scalebound, I haven't been impressed with the gameplay we've seen so far, but Kamiya has said that the game is supposed to be more focused on long-term planning which is probably almost impossible to actually demo. If the game is about training your dragon, equipping your character, and managing attrition, you can't really make that clear in a trailer, so instead you focus on what spectacle you have (and it plays towards what people get excited for from P*).

If we really do see new consoles next year then I think there's going to be some developers out there who simply can't keep up with the technology changes. Take this E3 for example, we finally saw the first glimpses of games from studios who have yet to release a single game for this generation of consoles, and may not get them out until the Neo/Scorpio are on the scene anyways, with the remainder only just getting their first games of the generation out before it ends. I know that Microsoft and Sony are eager to emphasize that Neo/Scorpio aren't replacing the PS4/XB1 but the leap in power will be tremendous so it's hard to see how they're going to position the new consoles as worthwhile upgrades if they're simply playing the exact same games with extra pixels.
