Anyone else /hype/ for Bloodstained: RotN? There's a good chance I will preorder it, even though I have seen what happened to Arkham Knight, among other things.
>inb4 shill
>>318729996
Wheres the news
>>318731030
There probably wont be any for a while.
I don't think this is even getting released until 2017.
I seriously hope it's just Order of Ecclesia 2. It's my favorite Castlevania game, even though I know that's an incorrect response.
will there be a demo or something soon?
>>318731212
Eh, don't worry about it.
Order of Ecclesia is easily one of the best modern Castlevania games.
I'll be extremely satisfied if it ends up playing anything like it.
>>318731030
Seems like they're trying to avoid doing constant updates.
Though the last update I read they mentioned they got one of the old GBA/DS era lead programmers on staff. I forget the guy's name but he was the one who came up with the curry weapon in PoR and the waiter skeleton you get it from. Good shit.
>>318731360
> will there be a demo or something soon?
try that question again in about 20 months
There's supposed to be an update this week, with some shaders andshit.
I can't wait to start shitting on a game with only 2 months of development!
>>318731212
That's what I'm hoping for as well. OoE was a lot of fun.
>>318729996
the disc will contain only a steam launcher. enjoy
I wish they did a slacker-backer, so I could get a physical copy... want that bonus content.
>>318731212
I'd really rather have something more like Symphony, Aria, or Portrait. Ecclesia always felt kinda tedious to me, and I couldn't fucking stand the stage design or the incredibly random nature of the loot system that made the quests a massively unenjoyable chore.
That said, one of the interviews Iga did for the game basically outline how not to make one of these games and he pretty much described that piece of shit Mirror of Fate perfectly, so at least we know what it definitely won't play like.
>>318731852
You know it's coming out on every console known to man right.
MIRIAM IS THE BEST BLOODSTAINED
>>318732120
Shame her design is disgusting.
>>318732203
She is cute!
>>318729996
if it wasnt the original castlevania creator and some literal who? made the game would any of you give a fuck?
Its a colorful sjw-friendly indie platformer at its core with no resemblance to the original game.
we see this shit every single day. Thank god I didnt pay money for this shit.
>>318732290
How many dumbass buzzwords can you shove into one post? Especially when you're making room for that massive lack of fact checking.
>>318732381
i keep up to date with news of this game daily. its just another generic platformer, there are thousands like it they get created every single day.
character models also look like crap. indies are boring games
>>318732290
Miriam is just young Shanoa, who is herself based on IGA's wife. Female protagonists done out of waifufaggotry is entirely different than female protagonists done out of SJWfaggotry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWrD0QMZc_s
>>318732203
Seconded. Turned me off from the whole game tbqh. Should've gone with another girl like Shanoa.
>>318732481
interesting. i still think it doesn't look good though, its very too hipsterish,
Will it be out on GOG?
>>318732451
There hasn't been any updates in over a month, and no news for a month before that. The only models we've seen were literally thrown together for an animation test before the KS was even finished. Please keep digging that hole deeper.
>>318732481
Miriam's pretty much entirely catering to Iga's own fetishes. You've got the outfit, particularly that short, short skirt, the exposed back, and the stained glass rose on her chest immediately draws your eyes to her bust.
>>318732290
Does anything featuring a woman SJW now? Is Metroid SJW?
This stupid shit needs to die, one of the best Castlevanias, OoE has a woman. Who gives a fucking shit if you're a dude or a chick, jesus christ.
>>318732020
>I wish they did a slacker-backer, so I could get a physical copy... want that bonus content.
They are... http://www.fangamer.com/a/kindling/bloodstained
>>318732653
So you can pirate it with ease you little scumbag huh?
>>318733668
are you trying to trigger me?
update will arrive soon
>>318732028
>You know it's coming out on every console known to man right.
Finally I can dust off my sega genesis!
>>318733878

You guys can start the hate machine already.
>>318733242
>Metroid franchise never exists
>first Metroid is released today
>spoilers all over the place online about Samus being a girl
>wtf why did they ruin my strong male character just to pander to SJWs there's LITERALLY no reason to make Samus a girl fuck this, Nintendo you've gone to far, boycott Nintendo forever
I sure do love living in the future
>>318732261
Is the lead artist Western or is that just my impression? The artstyle kind of turns me off, since I associate metroidvanias to Kojima's or Hirooka artstyle. Still better than PoR and DoS though
Can't wait for BastleBania: Bymphony of the Bight
>>318732203
>>318732261
You can actually change her colors and clothes in game, from what they're planning.
>>318734456
>play as an elf
>but only those slutty dark elves popularized by hentai
This game really is just a platform for IGA to vent his fetishes onto a character.
>>318734016
What little I can see looks pretty decent. Definitely a better face than pic related.
>>318734659
The artist's Japanese. Kojima couldn't be involved beyond doing a backer exclusive slipcase though, since she's on contract with Tecmo Koei still.
>want to buy the physical copy for the extra boss
>remember playing mirror of fate
>afraid of getting another shitty game like mirror of fate
Fuck, do these slacker backer things usually last a long time? I want some detailed gameplay footage before I jump in.
>>318734945
I know, isn't it amazing?
>>318735106
Mirror of Fate was done by a completely different team, why would they be anything alike? I'd be more wary of it turning into the usual kikestarter disappointment that fails to deliver on any of its promises
>>318729996
It's gonna be great
>>318735106
Mirror of Fate was handled by a completely different studio and team with no involvement from anyone who had worked on the DS and GBA Castlevania games, unlike this one. Also Igarashi seems to have a pretty large dislike for MoF's style of gameplay, mainly the pacing.
Reminder to you guys: You're getting shafted just like Mighty No. 9.
You've seen zero actual gameplay, zero models, zero levels, and just concept art.
You are going to seriously hurt yourselves. I'm worried for you guys.
One of the few Kickstarters I have backed. Looking forward to seeing more about it, but I'm reserving myself so I don't get too disappointed if it crashes.
>>318735503
Situations are nothing alike, games aren't made in a handful of months, which was how long ago this was funded. When it was funded pre-production hadn't even been started.
I also trust IGA more than the shills behind No.9.
>>318735775
Do you have any proof this is any different? Have you seen more than just concept art?
>>318735503
Except we already saw IGA playing a test build. And unlike Inafune who just said "This is looking nice, good work everyone!" IGA actually pointed out shit he felt didn't feel right for a game he would want to play and said what he thinks needs to be worked on more, even mentioning things like platform placements. This game could still turn out a disaster, but it's in far more capable hands than Mighty No 9.
>>318731541
The guy's name is Curry the Kid. You were so close.
>>318735503
It's only been few half a year, so it's way too early to throw away your hopes. I'm expecting them to get some presentable stuff together before they start posting gameplay and screenshots.
>>318735892
>>318735775
>>318735953
All I'm saying is that the kickstarters are very similar in their pitch, and that you guys didn't even really know what you were funding at that point.
>>318736027
>you guys didn't even really know what you were funding at that point.
They'd outlined what they wanted to do pretty damn hard, which was y'know, more of the gothic Metroid-style games Iga had made for years at Konami.
>>318736027I didn't fund it
>>318736027
True, I still trust IGA over fucking Inafune
>>318736027
I was every bit as cautious with the way this started as other people who got burned by MN9.I never even funded this gamebut it was nice to see it looking better already once the ball got rolling for real.
>>318734456
Pure Miriam is the cutestand the slutiest
>>318736491
Mmph yes
>>318736491
CUTE!
>>318736027
Thanks for the concern, but if we don't take risks will never get anything good. Still I only donated $60 and I have a stable job, so even if some shit happens it wasn't a big loss.Are you saying this because you backed MN9 and you don't want other people to get fucked?
>>318736491
>the cutest
>not Alchebro
>>318736986
Given that this is /v/, I think it's more likely that he's just a chronic 'hater', or trying to stir up shit.
There have been lots of kickstarter failures, and even horror stories, and it's wise to be careful with your money. But, like you said, if you never take a chance then nothing good will ever happen.
>>318736986
Backing Mighty No. 9 was probably the biggest mistake I've ever made when it comes to this shit, but I still want to believe Bloodstained can turn out fine. I wasn't able to support Iga's games when he was actually working on Castlevania, and they were some of my favorite games I've ever played, so I figured I should put my money where my mouth was this time.
God why did Mighty No. 9 have to go the way it did? Even the demo runs like shit.
>>318736986
Not him, but MN9 burned me. I assumed Inafune would be irrelevant compared to Inti Creates, who had previiusky made such a great Megaman series. Now I distrut any crowdfunding capagin.
It's the only game I will ever back, Knowing that castlevania is gone forever is a shitty feel.
>>318729996
I'm honestly avoiding it until I see gameplay. Because the more I look at the main character, the more I want to hate it. And i don't want to hate it. She's just a lame waifubait design. She might not be so bad as a side character. But as the main? Nope. They should go back to the drawing board.
I put in $360, it's like half a paycheck so not a big deal. If it ends up being great I'll have a signed collector's box and a physical vita copy and it'll be great. If not it can join my multiple copies of too human on the shelf of shame.
>>318737180
>>318737283
Yeah, MN9 was such a shitshow, and then Red Ash...
Kamiya was right, Inafune was just a business man trying to maximize profits.
>>318737682
>Shelf of shame
What else do you have on there other than Too Human? Show us.
>>318737682
>putting half your paycheck in a kickstarter
>>318729996
Shanoa much?
>>318737816
oh no half a week of work
>>318729996
Wish I could have Castlevania, but maybe this game is testing the waters for a new entry.
fuck that hack n slash shit that came out a few years ago
>>318737816
Some people's paychecks are pretty fucking big anon.
>>318737991
>but maybe this game is testing the waters for a new entry.
Konami isn't involved in this at all, anon. This game is Igarashi's potential Castlevania replacement now that Konami's damned the series to Pachislot hell.
>>318729996
I'm excited as fuck for the game, but it's still a ways off and we haven't gotten much info yet. I've been very pleased by the little we've been shown so far. I pledged for the Alchemist's Treasure + digital copy. It's a good chunk of change for game, and a bit of a gamble, but I was willing to roll the dice. Iga has only let me down once before (Judgement).
>>318732203
Outside of the tattoos she looks great.
>>318739381
judgement's only major flaw is the character design.
not one good design in the entire game
>>318731541
did the knight familiar win?
>>318739526
So did you forget about the gameplay, or what?
>>318739903
fighting games have shitty gameplay in general so it fit right in and goes down as average.
>>318739526
>not one good design in the entire game
I liked Cornell's design.
>>318733242
>>318733910
>multi coloured dyed hair
>traditional western style rose petal tattoos
>neon colours
>le indie gogo small-developer campaign
>female protagonist
>not sjw
This game was made for sjw's, japs know how to pander to their audience in the west thats why the one great castlevania with strong themes has been reduced to to this literal mario tier colourful side scroller atrocity, character design and all.
>>318729996
I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best.
OoE is a game for retards and everything else about the design document seems to be aiming at shoving in superficial elements that made other igavania games liked without really keeping the underlying things that made them work.
Like one of the stretch goals was "A bigger map than any other igavania" as if just having more empty hallways full of monsters is what these games need and not less
>>318737180
I've backed Darkest Dungeon, Hollow Knight and Bloodstained. Avoided getting fucked in the ass so far.
I hope Iga doesn't betray everyone like Inafune did
>>318735775
But both games have the exact same marketing team(Inti Creates)
>>318740136
>Tattoos
They're stained glass growths coming out of her body, dumbass. It's a curse that literally drives the plot of the game and will grow worse. Also the character was literally designed to pander to the lead developers fetishes the same way Shanoa from his last Castlevania was.
>>318739969
Oh, you're just retarded then. Never mind.
>>318740270
Last time I checked marketing teams don't develop the games senpai.
MC looks like a Shanoa ripoff with crayola flowers drawn on her
>>318740143
>OoE is a game for retards
You must have that confused with Mirror of Fate. Or maybe Harmony of Dissonance.
>>318740461
Iga really liked Shanoa and I'm pretty sure he said he wanted to reuse her design but can't since he doesn't own it. And that's where Miriam came from.
>>318740270
The marketing team for both games is Fangamer. Intecreates worked on Mn9's engine early in the game's development and the rest was done in house at Comcept, while IC did Might Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt. With Bloodstained they're handling the development entirely with no other studio.
>>318729996
What exactly is Bloodstained?
>>318740136
I don't even know why you linked to my joke about the Sega Genesis but I feel obligated to reply anyway.
>m-muh SJW boogeyman
The whole reason why this was kickstarted in the first place is that Konami wouldn't let Iga do what he wanted to do and make good games, so he let the fans fund him rather than a triple-A company that is actually looking to pander to SJW just to guarentee sales.
The only reason Miriam's design is the way it is, is to appease Iga's own fetishes because he's just doing whatever he wants now that he's not tied down by producers telling him what fans want or not.
>>318740575
Okay, Konami is shit and all but they're not pandering to SJWs. They're pandering to pachinko parlors.
>>318740270
So what does the marketing team have to do with the game's quality, or even whether or not it will get finished at all?They have no bearing on it whatsoever. You're grasping at straws to justify your mistrust in crowdfunding. Nobody's forcing or even telling you to fund it.
>>318740569
Imagine the post SotN Castlevania games with a different name. That's what Bloodstained is supposed to be.
>>318740673
It's the dirty old japanese men in those pachinko bars that are the SJWs, open your eyes sheeple.
>>318729996$60 backer here

Any word on how long the Paypal will be open?
I'm considering upgrading to the artbook tier.
>>318740673
>The only reason Miriam's design is the way it is, is to appease Iga's own fetishes
And to secure SJW bucks
Admit this.
It;s only reasonable to think a charming grimdark and true, current gen Castlevania game would appeal to real fans but in this day and age that's not enough, it has to be casualized, colourized, and sjwized if it wants to make it on indiegogo and that's exactly what happened.
If you can't see the striking differences between kojias earlier greater works and what a farcry bloodstained is then forget it.
>>318741525
>his earlier greater works
So like Tokimeki?
>>318741525
>if it wants to make it on indiegogo
You just blow in from stupid town?
>>318732203
whats wrong with the design?
excuse my shit taste
>>318741525
>sjwized
How? Look at her body, look at her thighs. She's also whiter than snow. She is the opposite of what SJW want to see.
>>318741525
How is a white lithe girl with a gothic lolita outfit which exposes her back, cleavage and tights a design made to cater to SJW?
>>318742012
You gonna stop being an idiot anytime soon?
Imagine being so sad that every thread on a game which was kickstarted you have to make up convoluted reasons that it is SJW
>>318741885
Don't forget >>318736491 is supposed to be her pure version.
>>318741776
pic related.
Now look at 'her' design.
Do you see what's wrong now??
>>318729996
are those horns? they're pretty damn offputting.
>>318741525
> inti creates
> creators of gal gun
> SJW
if it's ok for you to make up shit in your mind so you can hate a game, go ahead.
>>318742123
They wanted to get Ayami Kojima to do the art for Bloodstained as well, but she wasn't available ;_; She'll do some bonus art pieces, but generally Bloodstained doesn't look quite as cool because the original Igavania artist was already working for someone else.
>sexy battlenun
>has a cathedral stained glass windows motif with her rune tattoos
vampires can't take holy or light, and she embodies both
truly shanoa's daughteru has come to banish the terrible night
>>318742123
Miriam is actually a woman instead of a man who looks like a woman?
Additionally, nigga it's fucking fantasy. Yugi Moto ain't SJW pandering and look at his goddamn hair.
The stained glass is like a vampire bite, not some shitty tattoo.
You just want something to shitpost about.
>>318742163
Circlet.
>>318740201
What happened to Hollow Knight?
>>318742280
that's a relief
>>318740525
No, I'm talking about OoE, which is everything bad about iga/metroidvania but without any of the good parts.
>Linear as fuck monster hallways without any attempt at interesting enemy layouts/setpieces like in a proper goddamn castlevania game
>Instead of having to actually learn enemy patterns like in a proper goddamn castlevania game you can just spam magic at them from the other side of the room
>Blatantly terrible storyline even by the standards of castlevania, especially because this game has so much story and clearly put way more effort into it than before
>Keeps the same stupid 'grinding = good' game design iga puts in every one of these games only this time grinding isn't even worth it because all it does is make your glyphs slightly more powerful, upgrade the familars who suck ass and give you a bunch of equipment from quests that doesn't do anything besides give you slightly better stats
>Thinks that requiring you to hit bosses dozens and dozens of times is good design
>Albus is the worst bonus character in the entire series
Literally the only reason people like this game is because it has an anime girl in it, fuck this game.
>>318742123
The game isn't a true "Igavania" to me without Kojima's artwork
>>318742369
Well the beta felt pretty solid and and they apparently PAX Australia went well, other than that I haven't been keeping up to date with the info.
>>318742538
OoE's artist was better than Kojima.
>>318742626
Debatable.
>>318742626
on par
>>318742538
Well too fucking bad. Kojima is locked into an exclusivity deal with Koei-Tecmo. She can't even do commissions without their express permission. They didn't want her working on any other game projects hence why she's only doing bonus art.
>>318740136
They've been pandering to sjw since the 90's. Look at this metrosexual gaylord.
>>318742626
That's debatable. Although they're different styles, they're actually really good for the type of games they are. Although Kojima's effeminate designs add some "regality".
I wish the giant map poster incentive wasnt like, $500 or whatever it was.
I hope they make their way to ebay.
At least this game is not gonna be like Project Phoenix or Unsung Story.300$ tier here
>>318746364
$300 tier was the best value if you wanted collectables. Next jump was the $500 which only had a poster for the difference. $200 for just a poster.
And If I remember right the poster was a map of the castle or whatever. Why would you want to spoil the map for yourself?
>>318746605
I went for the $300 tier, because I really want more of Kojima's art.
Which Blood would you stained?
>>318729996
>only just noticing now the abbreviation is RotN
Geez, and I thought Inafune's Red Ash: The Indelible Legend was unsubtle about being a chinese knockoff.
>>318745505
>vampires haven't always been metrosexual gaylords
>>318731852
It's on all modern consoles, along with a GOG install.
>>318751458
Even their human characters cater to degenerate values.
