Darkside Games' Phantom Dust (Xbox One) early footage leaked

[HarlemRiverDrive]

Last Month, Darkside Games' vision of Phantom Dust was canceled and MS moved the game to a new, unannounced developer.

Here's some footage of the game. http://kotaku.com/leaked-video-shows-what-phantom-dust-reboot-couldve-loo-1692446810

This footage is instantly recognizable if you've ever played or seen the original Phantom Dust, which is by design, according to people who worked on the game. Their edict was to reboot it, not re-imagine it.

"Originally the edict was to go 70% original game, 30% new," said the source. "Over time that turned into 'remake Phantom Dust,' so that was our goal for the last half of development. We were going to update and streamline a very dated game (especially their menu system and horribly paced single player), but otherwise it was going to be a reboot/remake. I'd say we were probably trending towards an 85% remake, 15% new."

If that's a case, as a fan of the OG and someone who really likes the early footage, I don't think this matches up with the desires MS had for the game (30 hour long JRPG esque game.) I don't want the same Phantom Dust, I want new cards, environments and some important gameplay fixes. (The original had ass recovery times, and it looks like they kept it in the reboot...)
