E3 2016: Hideki Kamiya Demands You Watch This Scalebound Trailer

still looks pretty dumb/good. and the monster hunter-ness of it doesn't turn me off.

I just want the character to not talk, and the music to not have lyrics.

As it stands right now with this trailer, I'm with Jeff. I do not think this video game looks very good right now. It doesn't look like an abomination but it looks kind of mediocre and boring. I'm hoping it was just a poor demo and the whole game and standard combat is much better.

Boy that looked rough. I really want to like this game, but right now it looks pretty crap.

Geezus the dialogue is awful and he never shuts up, very annoying.

A thousand yawns. Scale and spectacle only do so much on their own. The voice acting looks to be atrocious (or they just went with the worst protagonist since Aiden Pearce) and the part where the towering colossus that could crush you like a bug just sits in a soup and stews while you and your friends kill it looks terrible. Who OKd this to show? If this was the best thing they could show then it does not bode well for my interest in their game.

I'm with Jeff this looked pretty boring to play, i did enjoy the dante vibe of the character though.

This looked infinitely more boring than I expected.

That looks impossibly dumb.

I know almost nothing about this game but I can't help noticing those damage numbers so I assume there will be weapon/armour upgrading and possibly even different monsters you can capture which could be pretty cool. On it's own this battle seems a little linear but within the wider context of the game this may just be a more scripted section. I'm intrigued, it could go either way though.

This looks terrible! What should've been a fight against overwhelming odds looks like it boils down to mash attack button, dodge one very slow attack, mash attack button some more

Poor showing. I thought the footage they showed last Gamescom was better. And I'm pretty sure that was pretty 2017 delay!

All of my no on that one. Ick. The earlier trailer was better and the main character talked a lot less. Why they decided to have him spout borderline tutorial lines, I can't be sure, but it wasn't a good move. Here's hoping this was just a bad demo.

I can't remember a time that Hideki Kamiya made a game I didn't like, so I'm hopeful I will like this one too. Still, this trailer really didn't help me get excited for it sadly :-/

"WHY. WON'T. YOU. DIE."

I wonder the same thing about the Japanese development industry. This looks like a TV show's idea of what a game looks like. Obnoxious dickhead protagonist wearing Beats, transforming in to a monster, riding a dragon, and fighting a giant spider, all seemingly on rails in what could easily be a fucking light gun game from all I can make of this footage.

Doesn't look great. Like Lost Planet 2.

Dude it's a crab not a spider. They hit its weak spot for massive damage!

Wow, that was awful, I didn't like any of that - and I enjoy me some monster hunter

This looks like it wants to be "MMORPG Raids: the Game" five years too late. It even has a built-in annoying raid leader (then hire Josh Alen for the voice-over and use his hair for the character model!).

I've always liked this idea in theory but meh...

I just hope that this part looked bad because it was some sort of 'COOP boss battle' .

The trailer before this, it seemed like a nice mix of character action + RPG. Maybe the bosses all have some sort of unique mechanic, and this one was kinda lame?

Monster Hunter and Panzer Dragoon all coated with some Vanquish-like cheese. On paper that sounds awesome!

Dude is greatly overestimating his bow + arrow.

Too far for your bow? If only you had a grappling hook.

They have to cut down all that talking and tutorializing. Let the player figure out something
