IGN sat down and asked Hideki Kamiya about Scalebound the new Xbox one exclusive. The answer they got is that it is just something new.
“The one thing that I will say is that up until this point in my career, and up until this point in Platinum Games’ history, we’ve never made a game like Scalebound. What I’m trying to do with Scalebound is create a very different kind of game than what I’ve created up until this point. We’re trying to create new gameplay, and that is a challenge for me personally.
“It’s less about new hardware, and more about making something totally new”
The game presents something new and with a challenge as Hideki admits Platinum Games has never done anything like this. With that said they are far from scared of it. Telling by the article they have been dying to do it.
“We’ve never tried to do something photo-real or something more realistic with that touch but it’s always been something I’ve wanted to try. Now having that opportunity has been both difficult but interesting. And the power of the machine is helping there. It’s definitely something Platinum Games has wanted to try, and now we’re getting our chance to do it, which is cool.”
It is a interesting insight but other that it involving dragon we still don’t know what Platinum Games is trying to do with Scalebound. Note the article is from Gaming bolt but refers to IGN.
