Platinum is making Scalebound?
Wow. Then I'm sure it will be garbage.

>"We think of it as an action RPG game, and we think it will both appeal to fans of the games that Platinum has made, but at the same time, I think it will be a game that will have a broader appeal to folks that maybe haven't played their games before,"
If you haven't played a game from Platinum this one can be your first, and you get to experience something you haven't before. Making the game "familiar" to those that never played one of these before pretty much kills the point about trying a new kind of game.
This is the worst kind of mentality possible. Par for the course for a fucking marketing exec.

They acted like obedient citizens, doing exactly as they are told. Just like school taught them to be.
They are ready to be part of society.
>>320617289
guys what if
no listen guys
what if.. we hired focus testers.. and then did the opposite of what they said
>>320617968
It's a disguise mission, why would they want to break disguise
>>320617289
>Half a fucking hour
How? Just how do you run in a circle for half an hour without seeing any progress or change in environment and not stop to think that maybe you're doing something wrong?

This is why I don't watch streamers/youtubers.
>>320618329
I don't know, maybe they were looking for another way or something, like exactly what you're supposed to do instead of blundering past him like an idiot.
>>320618787
I was talking about the Valve example.
>>320618329
There's a rule that if you're ever in a maze keep following the right wall. Guess he took it literally.
>>320617289
>second option to turn right and end up where i started
>will this maze ever end?
>>320612876
What's wrong with that?
Devs of The Witcher 3 said the same and it won every GOTY award on top of being a pretty good game.
More accessibility =/= less depth

Aight bro you can stop samefagging my thread now.
>>320617289
That maze even after the fix was still shiti spent 15 minutes going around
>Thinking Kamiya will dumb his game down
This just means they'll be a babby easy mode.
>>320618169
>the control isnt responsive enough in this horde shooter
>make it more sluggish, HARDCORE GUYZ
>"One of Platinum's original ideas was to make Scalebound a motion-controlled Wii game starring a little girl and featuring dinosaurs instead of dragons."
What could have been sounded better.
instead we got a Dante reject wearing Beats headphones.
>>320621058
The only part of that that sounded good was the little girl part.
>>320612876
So they are doing the same shit they did for Bloodborne?
But I guess it's ok when Sony does it
>>320612876
It is xbox one which is pretty much made for U.S.
This is why Kamiya seems unhappy about this whole production. Microsoft are being typical western publishers and dragging him through shitloads of focus testing and mainstream appeal based changes,
