Scalebound, an Xbox One exclusive from renowned action game developer Platinum Games (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Vanquish, etc.), was revealed at E3 2014. Absolutely nothing has been seen or heard from it since. That all changes this month with IGN First, where we'll be covering the game in-depth throughout August. Our team went to Platinum in Japan and will be bringing you approximately a dozen exclusive features and videos over the next four weeks. We'll be kicking things off tomorrow morning at approximately 8am PT/11am ET, or as soon as the Microsoft press briefing ends. At that point, we will post our first piece of IGN First content for Scalebound: an extended gameplay demo that's much longer than the one you'll see during the Xbox briefing. You can also expect:

  • In-depth looks at various Scalebound gameplay systems
  • Behind-the-scenes on how Kamiya-san finally got Scalebound made after years of trying
  • Kamiya-san himself on our IGN Live show direct from Gamescom in Germany on Thursday, August 6 at 6:30am PT/9:30am PT (also available anytime, on-demand, after that time)
  • And much more!
In the meantime, take another look at the original reveal trailer:

 
Rare Replay Reviews

Destructoid - 9

Rare Replay is a new milestone for compilations. A great deal of care was put into the project, and 30 games is enough meat to ensure that everyone will really enjoy at least half of them. I sincerely hope this is the start of a revival of the classic Rare we know and love.

Gamespot - 8

Much of Rare Replay is old material, but that's OK when so many of Rare's games easily stand the test of time. Getting the chance to play its classics in an easily accessible package is worth celebrating, whether you've played them before or always wished you could. And you should, if you haven't had the chance. Rare's games have a way of speaking to you with respect. They embrace video game conventions and rarely take themselves too seriously. Expressive characters warm your heart and catchy and complex soundtracks stick with you long after you turn off your console. Rare Replay is a great way to experience some of the best games from the studio's past, and the new videos that document Rare's storied history are the icing on the cake; it's just a shame that you can't access them from the start.

Polygon - 8

Rare Replay is an essential piece of gaming history

Performance concerns aside, Rare Replay demonstrates how a single developer has carried certain elements across a whole span of genres and platforms. There's a sense of ambition to Rare's catalog, of joy and whimsy, a brightness that comes through even in the more self-serious games. Rare Replay paints a picture of a studio always excited and eager to try something new, even if that new thing turned out imperfect. Whatever Rare's future, there's a history here that's worth remembering and celebrating.

Thejimquisition - 9.5/10

Rare Replay is a fantastic compendium from start to finish. Even discounting the games you might never want to play, the price point is intensely difficult to refuse in exchange for the amount of fun it will provide. From Battletoads Arcade to Snake, Rattle & Roll, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and Banjo-Tooie, there’s so much there, both replayable silliness and extensive, hours-long adventures.

It was already a steal before the extras, but the Snapshot mode and the videos, not to mention the classy production values overall, make this a must-have for those both old and new to Rare’s extensive library. If you’ve got an Xbox One, this is a shoo-in.

Gameinformer - 8.75

I have little reason not to recommend Rare Replay, even to those who don’t have nostalgia for the studio. The breadth of content is impressive, and each game has been faithfully ported and upgraded in ways that don’t interfere the original experience. It serves as an exciting reminder of Rare’s best years and makes seeing the developer’s iconic blue and gold logo exciting all over again.

Videogamer - 8

Rare Replay is a lovely collection that I can't help but feel could have been even lovelier. It seems a bit petty to be moaning when what's here is such incredible value, but we have some titles at their very peak and others simply emulated. The 360 games not being tied in with the same milestones and launching via backwards compatibility seem slightly disconnected from the rest, too, even if a handful of them show Rare at its best. But had every game been given the same treatment as Grabbed by the Ghoulies, we'd be having to pay a lot more than £20. For what it is, Rare Replay is absolutely worth adding to your Xbox One collection, even if it leaves you wanting just a little more.

EA Access subscribers will be able to play a full-game trial of Madden NFL 16 starting Aug. 20, five days before the game's public launch, publisher Electronic Arts announced today. Subscribers will be able to play for up to 10 hours during the five-day trial period.

It appears that EA has raised the EA Access trial length to 10 hours from six hours — Madden 16 will be the third consecutive title, following Battlefield Hardline and Rory McIlroy PGA Tour earlier this year, with a 10-hour trial. We've reached out to EA to ask if this is a permanent increase, and will update this article with any information we receive. (Five days has always been the length for the EA Access trial period itself.)

There's no word yet on whether EA will release a playable demo of Madden 16; we've also asked EA about that. The company confirmed last month that it will not put out a demo of NHL 16, which launches three weeks after Madden 16.

Madden NFL 16 launches Aug. 25 on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. For more, check out our recent hands-on preview.
