Back look for Microsoft and for Platinum, but the game didn't look like anything special.

LIttle bit of insight on what happened: MS and PG had very different visions when it came to what the game should be. MS essentially pushed PG too far - at least in regards to what they expected. PG simply didn't have the talent to pull off the game on the scale that MS wanted. Kamiya became defensive when MS would question the progress of the game - as more and more poor performance demos were shown. Since PG owns the IP, MS essentially pulled their funding on the project. It's likely the game will still exist, but expect it to be truncated into a typical straight forward hack and slash game which is typical of PG's other games. It will most likely land on the Switch if they can get Nintendo to publish for them.

 
So, basically...MS backed a shitty game and took two years to realize it was a shitty game, lol. At least they didn't go all the way through to release, I guess.

its been said they couldnt get the frame rate stable. if the switch is as weak as the rumors are saying, then the switch wouldnt be able to run it either.

whether people think this was going to be a shitty game or not is kind of a moot point. this was a desperately needed xbox exclusive that wasnt halo, forza or gears. MS needs to branch off and get more franchises under their name.

this is the second game in as many years that MS has cancelled.

 
I liked the idea of the game but yeah what P* made just didn't suffice. Let's throw on some headphones and rock out attacking big monsters... Ah no.
 
I didn't like anything of what I saw of this game.  Didn't like the tone.  The character seemed like a jerk.  Gameplay looked generic.  It also made no sense -- who blares music from their headphones while fighting a huge monster?  You wouldn't be able to hear any audio cues like if a tentacle snuck up behind you or something.

That said, Microsoft needs more AAA exclusives.  Tired of all these indie games that can be played on a mobile device.

well now that think about it, you can replace spark with phantom dust. although an apparent remaster of that is now coming out, but the one that got cancelled was supposed to be a brand new game with that IP
