I did a search, didna see a thread.

So, in anticipation of tomorrow's MS PR splurge, IGN have said the following:

Our team went to Platinum in Japan and will be bringing you approximately a dozen exclusive features and videos over the next four weeks.

We'll be kicking things off tomorrow morning at approximately 8am PT/11am ET, or as soon as the Microsoft press briefing ends. At that point, we will post our first piece of IGN First content for Scalebound: an extended gameplay demo that's much longer than the one you'll see during the Xbox briefing. You can also expect:

In-depth looks at various Scalebound gameplay systems
Behind-the-scenes on how Kamiya-san finally got Scalebound made after years of trying
Kamiya-san himself on our IGN Live show direct from Gamescom in Germany on Thursday, August 6 at 6:30am PT/9:30am PT (also available anytime, on-demand, after that time)

And much more!

Urgh IGN but yeah.

This is the most exciting of the Gamescom reveals for me. The others look great but I'm a big Platinum fan.

Everyone should be a big Platinum fan.

Excited to finally see what type of game this is.

Quite excited about this bayonetta was one of the games of last gen in my humble opinion.

@Grax missed out on one of those tesco ones for Ł75 by 5 mins which was rather annoying I'll get one eventually missed out on a lot of good games by not owing one.

I like the look of this, hope the RPG element is quite deep as hack n slash games can get a bit boring after a while.

Oh yeah, I meant to post this yesterday: IGN's extended demo, free of the shackles of IGN's player.

EDIT Also, really like this image from the above linked IGN story.

This is now gone straight to the top of games I am excited about. Seriously its like someone read my mind about what I want in an RPG and then made it. If they put in castle / city attacks then I will have to go for a lie down.

It looks great to me, I’ll be buying it but I doubt it’ll sell many Onesies, it’s a Platinum game so destined for niche sales.

Looking good, hoping the dragon customisation makes a real difference, interesting too if you can only change at certain points adding a strategic element... i.e. not being able to change on the fly like pretty much every rpg.

Deleted user 11 August 2015 11:22:57

Looks appetising. Can't wait to see more.

The video at E3 said it was a Xbox One exclusive right at the end. Same with Crackdown 3 etc.

By the time it's out, you may find some other titles that'll interest you.

GAME will probably do a special edition with an exclusive real life dragon.

MS own the IP, so it's never going anywhere else. Well, maybe Windows.

I know everyone's calling this an aRPG, but we haven't really had any word of levelling systems etc yet. We've seen inventory and customisation though.

I wonder if this is Kamiya taking another stab at a Zelda-like.

Word out of PAX is that this features airborne dragon battles. Which combined with the 4 player co-op is... Sploosh.

If I wasn't already in, I would be now. So I guess, technically, I'm now... further in..?

@MrTomFTW Please don't tell me tings like that, I'm not sure my hype for this game can safely go any higher.

Two very short clips of Dragon-riding:

and...

I think Thuban spat out a rare engram in the first one.

Well considering it's a different type of game from what they're used to and all signs point to it being the biggest game they'll have made, then I'm ok to have them push it out to get it right.
