almost thought I was a racist

They were the sole developer and then a co-developer came on board to help them, THEN they ran past their deadlines and their contract expired, sounds vaguely familiar...

I wonder whats going on with Sony. Hopefully they didn't hurt the development of Bayo 3 as well. Info for that game....vanished.

Not really but OK Modmij

By that tweet, it really sounds like Platinum fucked up again and they just figured out a nice way to say that PG is no longer a part of the project.  Probably to save face for Platinum since this is yet another time where they've either not met standards or were behind in development or overbudget.

 

They removed PG's name from the game completely.... you don't do that when your work you were contracted for was finished and it's "a job well done"....

I told people there was more to the Scalebound story but it always ended with "orange man bad " levels of argument. It sounds like Platinum takes too many liberties in their development, gets behind schedule far too much and mismanages money etc. This is no different than Kojima, Konami didn't fire him because he was a model developer, the guy took way too long internally delaying the game repeatedly and kept asking for more money.

orange is bad though except for mandarins. holy shit i love mandarins. so sweet and juicy

Bayonetta 3 is DOOMED 

[Playstation Tablet 1,732]

It was handled by Cygames mostly already anyways.

project is still going to finish and release.

 

Every single game P* touches actually released except for one.

 

Windows 10 killed scalebound.
