Hideki Kamiya ha comentado en una entrevista concedida a IGN durante el TGS que Scalebound -nuevo título de acción exclusivo para Xbox One, desarrrollado por Platinum Games y del cual el propio Kamiya es director- será más accesible y sencillo respecto a otros de sus trabajos previos como Bayonetta o Devil May Cry.
“So the games that I have worked on in the past we can say that they are more about sort of mastery…” Kamiya said in the latest interview. “For this game, Scalebound, of course taking all of the titles that we have worked on, so it is unlike any [game] that we made. And on top of that, the setting of the game, the realm, the world as well as the subject matter, the dragons, and are hoping that will attract a wider audience.”
“Easy or difficult can be defined it so many different ways. For example, if it was a very text or dialog heavy game, but yet you went to point where you felt puzzled,” he said when we asked if that meant that Scalebound will be easier than his previous action games. “So in the past it was really intense, you now really high impact high pace sort of action games that require skills.
“In that sense, it may not deliver the experience you’ve seen from our games but at the same that doesn't mean that it will be easy.” he explained, adding that there will be various creative ways to approach the battles and encounters.
“So the games that I have worked on, I’ll give one example with Devil May Cry, that was years ago,” he explained. “I was young too when I made that game and if had a user or fan in front of me that said ‘I really tried, but I guess I suck or I just can't get this enemy’ it was easy for me to say ‘that is your kind of skills, you kind of suck.’ That is not the type of difficulty that we are going to demand from the players.”
