So let me get this straight. We waited 8 years and we're going to to get the exact same game as before? This looks like a 3D remake of Order of Ecclessia. I don't get why we need more rehashes.
>>340508446
Its just a video of the character walking through an empty area, you autistic fuck.
Wait until we have the E3 demo to sling your biased shit n8.
>>340508446
Because it's literally the exact shit you asked for when you backed it?
>>340508446
Like, a 'remake', or a sequel or whatever of OoE is something bad, right?
Also, what's the point of make this fucking thread again? You don't know a shit about the game yet.
>>340508446
What the fuck else were you expecting?
>make game different
>people complain
>make game the same
>people complain
At this point I don't even know why devs bother to make sequels, they should just keep creating new IPs.
>>340508446
It looks good, but visually, I think a more cel-shaded look would have been better and benefited the art style more.
>>340508446
Fuck off.
People wanted more Symphony of the Night, so they backed this.
It wouldn't have gotten $5,000,000 if there wasn't a demand for a spiritual sequel to the game with similar mechanics.

>>340508562
>Its just a video of the character walking through an empty area, you autistic fuck.
It's a character who looks, acts and moves like Shanoa, running through a level that looks like a stage in Order of Ecclessia, with music that sounds like it's from that game too.
If you had shown this to me without any knowledge, I would have said it's a 3D remake/sequel to Order.
>>340508691
>People wanted more Symphony of the Night, so they backed this.
And they're nto getting it.
>>340508793
So 43 seconds of a character (who isn't even the only playable character in the game btw) walking through an empty area in a game that is still under development is all you're pissy little brain needs to predict the entirety of the finished product?
Neo-/v/ ladies and gents
>>340508793
Symphony of the Night playstyle, you dipshit.
ITT what did you expect?
>>340508793
How so?
The game is literally going to be designed like SoTN, apart from being in a different castle, and having characters that have been changed slightly. One of the playable characters even looks like Alucard for fucks sake.
But please, explain to me how this game is going to be more similar to one of the other metroidvanias or none of them at all...
You haven't justified your statement at all.
>>340509010
>>340508992
It looks like it plays way more like Order, including the weapons system.
The whole thing is bait and switch. People funded Symphony 2. We got Order 2.
>>340509094
>The game is literally going to be designed like SoTN,
You poor, poor, delusional soul.
>>340509124
>It looks like it plays way more like Order, including the weapons system.
Again, this video is hardly enough to even qualify as "gameplay".
We KNOW we're getting a demo at E3.
Just hold your shitstorming until then.
Oh, and by the way.
We haven't seen how the Alucard character plays and for all we know he could play exactly like SotN.
>>340509124
They are all the same god damn game anyway so what the fuck does it matter?
>>340509220
>Again, this video is hardly enough to even qualify as "gameplay".
We know that the weapon system is based on Order's.
>>340509124
That'sgood because OoE is better that SotN
>>340509286
>We know that the weapon system is based on Order's.
But, for the billionth time, WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET
>>340508738
Man, Shanoa looked so much better than this character.
I wouldn't mind a sequel of OoE except for the bullshit dracula fight.
>>340509294
>short linear stages and a tiny castle are better than a big spiralling interconnected castle
I think this looks great so far
>>340508738
>who looks, acts and moves like Shanoa
No no no. Don't compare that weebshit Miriam to the perfection that is Shanoa.
Miriam looks like the deviant art over-designed OC meant to be Shanoa's sister. She has a retarded idle pose out of an anime, and a girly trot.
>>340509531
>>340508446
Also, don't think I didn't notice you recycled this thread from earlier.
The backgrounds look very uninteresting. I hope they fix that.
>>340509413
Yes. Fuck the interconnected huge-ass castle. It's such a chore to navigate. OoE is so much better than the other Igavanias just for that detail alone. For that matter the difficulty in OoE was better balanced precisely because there were small stages.
Post yfw you funded Mighty Number 9 but not Bloodstained
>>340509531
Shanoa is the reason I started playing the Castlevania series after they went metroid.
>>340509616
>Fuck the interconnected huge-ass castle. It's such a chore to navigate
Kill yourself promptly.
>>340508446
shanoa's design was miles better than this new MC
>>340509531
Because Miriam is done by different people.
And I agree, she's a pale shadow of Shanoa. Masaki Hirooka art styles work really well for the series, as much as Ayami Kojima. I really wish they had brought Hirooka on for Bloodstained.
Also, apparently "Shanoa" is not a real name. Searching for it only brings up the Castlevania character.
>>340509727
I'm sorry you are a homo with shit taste literally because you can't stop licking men hairy crusty asses, anon.
>>340509819
Don't project your fantasies onto me, anon.
Its not healthy.
>>340509616
>The backgrounds look very uninteresting. I hope they fix that.
Are we looking at the same backgrounds? They look fine to me. What do you want? krakens in the background threatening to attack the ship? When the enemies are put in, you're going to be glad the background isn't too busy.
>>340509814
Her mouth is too small and her hair looks dumb. Also her dress is too annie may for even an unofficial castlevania.
Shanoa was literally perfect and it was designed by someone with a wife, since she's based on her, so no need for otaku pandering.
>>340509929
You mean Iga's wife?
>>340508446
based on that logic all you've been getting for years have been symphony of the night remakes.
>>340508446
didn't you make this thread yesterday
>>340508446
2.5D looks horrible
>>340509818
I just googled it, and it turns out it was used before. Only extremely extremely rare.
>>340509907
They're too brown. I find the pallete really boring. The outside should be a little bit blue at least.
I get it's a boat but it's so dull looking. The character is already stylized so I don't get why the boat couldn't be too.
Just my opinion tho.
So are you guys telling me this has been in development since 2008?
>>340510076
No, it means the last real castlevania came out 8 years ago.
>Classicvania where you play as Maria but with the difficulty adjusted to her movement NEVER EVER.
This is my curse, forever and ever. To love what is already dead. To cherish what was perfect but unapreciated. O the humanity.
>>340508446
My only complaint is this: why can't devs use 2D sprites in their game like they used to?
Still going to get thr game though.
>>340508446
But that was exactly what the kickstarter offered and what people paid for.
Why do you care? you didn't donate and you aren't going to buy it.
>>340510290
Too expensive, very few talented sprite artists remain.
>>340510290
>My only complaint is this: why can't devs use 2D sprites in their game like they used to?
Pixel art is a low resolution affair. Once you add HD resolutions, it becomes impossible to make such a game with a reasonable budget.
The other possibility is drawn sprites but those tend to look like flash animation. Already people are calling the new HD Sprite games generic looking. They all look the same.
>>340510290
3d models allow for more freedom for animation, since they already have the model. It will be useful for cinematics, different weapons, etc.
I love sprites too, but 2D HD animation isn't as convenient.
>>340510050
I think it looks very nice, personally. I wouldn't say perfect, but imo, if this was the final look of that area, i wouldn't have a problem with it.
I think many games go too bright with the color. The thing I liked about Castlevania's style, is that they're not afraid to use lowly saturated color. Which in turn makes higher saturated color pop out better.
You can see plenty of color in the ship's interior. Purple, green, cyan, orange. It's just not super bright. I like that. Quite honestly, I'm sick of every game trying to fry my retina with overly saturated palettes.
>>340510385
>very few talented sprite artists remain.
this isn't the future I wanted
This sprite discussion made me imagine a Castlevania developed by Vanillaware
>>340510463
I have to disagree, anon. More than saturated colors, what I want is more pleasant looking colors.
Compare and contrast. Bloodstained browns are much more gray than the ones from OoE. Look at these browns, there's variety and is very nice in general without looking like Hot Line Miami.
>>340510626
If only Vanillaware games were as well designed as their artIMO.
But I haven't played Dragon's Crown.
>>340510742
>But I haven't played Dragon's Crown.
Dragon's Crown is ok.
Muramasa Rebirth is fun as fuck.
>>340510395
It's weird because a long time ago, sprite games still looked very different from one another. It's hard to say even Super Metroid looks similar to Zero mission. Art design is so different. So I wonder why indie devs have such a hard time differentiating themselves like old devs did.
>>340510681
Shanoa is too perfect. It's unfair to compare her to any other vidya girl.
>>340508738
Which is exactly what everyone wanted
>>340508446
>make a kickstarter for people that want more metroidvania
>people that back it want more metroidvania
>"WTF? why is this like the old metroidvanias!?"
>>340509652
This is more accurate >>340509768 we tried you warn you. But you wouldn't learn from our mistakes and were blinded by pure waifuism
>>340510790
>It's weird because a long time ago, sprite games still looked very different from one another.
They're using the same animation programs and techniques. It produces a very generic look. To make it easier, they use a cartoony look with thick black borders often. It means that they ALL look the same.
I think different styles can be made, but it hasn't been done yet.
The only sprite games that look different are the 480 resolution ones. Astro Port games for instance look like older games. But they're using more traditional sprite work, which can't really be done past 480p.
>>340508446
>why does this game look like castlevania???
Wow, what a faggot.
>>340510681
How do you know she doesn't know Hokuto Shinken?
>>340510463
Many games from my experience since the late 200x's have been washed out with little variation in color. Need some SNES color palettes back. That shit was vibrant and had good range.
>>340510864
> RITUAL OF THE NIGHT
>From the Director of Symphony of the Night (Actually Assist. Director, but let's ignore Hagihara since he isn't asking for a kickstarter)
>Remember Symphony of the Night? Please give money
Bait
and
switch
WAY more people have played Symphony than Order.
>>340510681
Left is boring.
>>340511026
Because Hokuto Shinken is an Assassination technique from China that is passed to only a small handful of people. Each generation there is only one practioner.
>>340509278
Hell no. Order has a stamina-based glyph system for combat and the levels are all small, separated and linear. It's the Prime 3 of Castlevania.
>>340511093
>>From the Director of Symphony of the Night (Actually Assist. Director, but let's ignore Hagihara since he isn't asking for a kickstarter)
Sounds like the Inafune of Konami if you say it that way.
For that matter, is there a game on Steam or wherever that plays like Classic Castlevania and it's good?
>>340510813
So many times this. Shanoa design hit the jackpot for some reason, even if its obviously something they didn't work too much on, considering how simple it actually is. Miriam is a good character, confronting her with the miracle that is Shanoa is just dumb.
>>340511245
>plays like Classic Castlevania
>it's good?
pick one
>>340511104
If you don't see it move, that is
>>340511142
There are four Hokuto brothers in Fist of the North Star.
>>340510780
Muramasa is so goddamn monotonous. And after you beat the game they have the balls to tell you to beat it again with the other character to get the true ending.
>>340511327
Classicvanias are the best Vanias
>>340508446
D you complain about Yooka-Laylee looking like Banjo Kazooie too?
>>340511386
Which is an anomoly. Once a successor is chosen, the rest are killed or have their fists sealed. The conflict in the series stems from them not following the rules and having one successor.
>>340511386
They were set to be killed or have their ability to use Hokuto no Shinken disabled when the successor was chosen.
Nuclear Holocaust kind of pushed that back.
>>340511425
It doesn't end there, since at least the different routes give you different bosses, but to get the true true ending you have to backtrack every area to get into special stages or something like that. Muramasa would be so good if it wasn't for the repetition.
>>340511430
Well, SotN is best Vania and its not Classicvania so you're wrong.
>>340508446
>not wanting more Castlevania
I guess we should pack in all FPS because DOOM came out in the 90s and everything since then is a rehash. Same goes for fighting games everything since the first Street Fighter? it's all the same so they can go.
Faggot.
I like the style.
>>340511474
That trailer pushed all my buttons. I might consider sueing Playtonic for giving so much pleasure to my inner 10 year old.
>>340511430
>full retail price ($40-$70 depending on the system) for linear, straightforward games with little combat variety which can be beaten in 20-40 minutes
Konami sure knew how to scam children back then.
>>340508446
>Dat hip swaying when she stops.
>>340511542
Its a butthurt MN9 who tries to bait. No need to even look at him.
>>340511542
>wanting more soulless blatant rehashes
>>340510659
I have to say you're wrong. The OoE shot has warmer wood framing the windows, but that just happens to be the style of that particular environment. It's not a desolate ship. And if you really compare the color, Bloodstains's wood can get just as warm as OoE with the help of the lanterns they placed along the enrironment. Whereas OoE has no such lighting around the windows. So essentially Bloodstained is taking advantage of the lighting, in order to get a wider range of color.
The wall and the wood on the loowerportion of the wall, are actually gray in OoE. While Bloodstained actually infuses more green, and orange from the lighting.
>>340511539
>Well, SotN is best Vania
No thanks, I'd rather play something with challenge.
>>340511625
The prices were bullshit indeed. But I've played those games so many times because it feels like such a rush in my brain.
>>340511748
>I'd rather play something with challenge.
And I'd rather play something fun.
Different strokes.
>>340511430
>Classicvanias are the best Vanias
This is what hipster millenials believe
>>340508446
the only thing I miss is the awkward leg movement Castlevania character usually does while walking, but I guess it would too strange to make this with a 3D model.
I'm so fucking hyped and I hope it won't be a Mighty turd 9 situation.
>>340511047
We did go through a brown and bloom era. But we came out of that. and now everything is overly bright. Here's a comparison I did a while back of Zelda U's footage on the left, compared to the base grass color of ALttP on the right.
>>340511695
I think it's just because Bloodstained palette is more samey that it gives me that impression. Miriam looks bright but the boat doesn't. For that matter the platforms are colored almost the same as the background so they don't pop. The lanterns look so off because they are so bright compared to everything else in the frame. Sure it has its purpose considering you'll have to whip them to get hearts or whatever equivalent for this game, but you get what I'm trying to say.
>>340511748
>I'd rather play something with challenge.
Then play Order of Ecclesia, legitimately harder than classicvanias. Then again I only had like 15 glyphs and used the one with the biting dog heads all the way to the end.
>mfw shitposters scold people for backing games were as I do the opposite
Why would you not want to let idiots back whatever they want?
Game turns out shit? We get to lol at them for being retarded as fuck.
Game turns out good? I pirate it and play it for free anyway.
By the way, the game genuinely does look like shit currently. Doubt it's going to get better at all.
>Retards fell for the 3D looks better than 2D meme
Every time.
>>340511798
>And I'd rather play something fun.
SotN isn't though.
>>340511901
I'm sorry I wasn't born in 1999 like you, bud.
Shanoa's quite uggo tbqh
>>340512034
>SotN isn't though.
It is though.
>>340512021
stop shitposting with my waifu you little shit
>>340512009
>Then play Order of Ecclesia,
I did, it was really fun unlike modern casualvanias.
>legitimately harder than classicvanias.
Ho boy, nope. It requires so much less planning and careful movement.
The art looks cheap as hell for some reason.
Not "indie cheap", but just cheap and amateurish.
>>340512120
>It is though.
Nuh-uh.
It also has way too much useless trash items. I get that you played it when you were 8 or something but take off those goggles.
>Wow, ANOTHER human protagonist that runs and jumps. Come on, it's 2016 people!
>>340512197
It's very generic. Was it so hard to get Kojima?
The woman is a miracle.
Also who's ready for Snakula?
>>340512140
>less planning
You don't even have as much options for planning in classicvanias compared to OoE, especially with all the glyph combinations.
>careful movement
OoE bosses are crazy more aggressive than classicvanias. When you get down to it the only real challenge in them is the 3-phase Dracula at the end of CV3, and that's only because of the length of the battle and thus potential fuck ups that would make you need to redo the whole thing.
Meanwhile I spent like 2 hours trying to beat Dracula in OoE with my shitty limited glyphs.
>>340510813
The artist for OoE was amazing. I think that's part of her appeal.
>>340508446
>We waited 8 years and we're going to to get the exact same game as before?
but thats every castlevania ever made you cunt, the konami try to change it into God of war clone and you complain for being shit
>>340512227
No, I only played it a year ago.
Its the only game I can say I'd definitely give a 10/10.
>>340511695
>judging the whole game from a single area
Sounds about right.
>>340511978
No, I don't get what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're looking for something critical to say, just for the sake of having something to say. Miriam does look brighter than the boat. That's likely intentional, because you want your player character and enemies to stand out. Even Shanoa tends to be brighter than the environment in OoE. And if you look at some Castlevania games, they straight up outline the player's sprite with a luminous color.
I think they're still tweaking some things anyway. So you might get what you want when it's completed.
>>340512316
They tried to get her onboard but she was already hired for other stuff elsewhere. She was dissapointed that she couldnt get in Bloodstained too but dems the breaks. She did do an illustration for the Collectors Edition or something similar.
>>340512368
I... didn't...?
>>340512360
>Its the only game I can say I'd definitely give a 10/10.
Then please just stop posting opinions because you are legit embarrasing me with that taste.
Or not. But damn, kid, I feel sad for you.
>>340508446
But OP that is exactly what I wanted. I hated Ecclessia so the last great Castlevania I played was Portrait exactly 10 years ago.
>>340508639
Because, while people complain, more people will buy the sequels.
>>340512658
You feel sad for me having enjoyed a game?
You must have some serious problems, dude.
>>340512319
>You don't even have as much options for planning in classicvanias compared to OoE, especially with all the glyph combinations.
They're kinda the same, really. With Castlevania, your movement was limited so you had to choose where to move, when to jump and when to attack. The rush of doing it correctly is very exciting. That said I LOVE Shanoa's movement, but I never felt like I was using her as her full potential because the bosses were easier. Needed more CUHRAZY.
>Meanwhile I spent like 2 hours trying to beat Dracula in OoE with my shitty limited glyphs.
Dracula had a super bullshit movement when he throws a bunch of bats and the you don't get invincibility frames though. He wouldn't be hard otherwise.
>>340512374
>It sounds like you're looking for something critical to say, just for the sake of having something to say.
No I don't. I'm being sincere. The picture you posted looks really good though, but in the trailer it looks gray and weird.
>>340510681
But what if it's not Hokuto Shinken, but Nanto Seiken?
>>340512736
>You feel sad for me having enjoyed a game?
No, because you are dumb in general and can't see it.
But have fun with whatever you do, dude.
>>340510864
The want mighty number 9 quality.
>>340513005
I don't think the previous picture was in the trailer. This one is though.
>>340508446
>We waited 8 years and we're going to to get the exact same game as before?
>This looks like a 3D remake of Order of Ecclessia
Stil better than mercury steam shit
>>340513031
Nonsense, the only woman that knows Nanto Seiken is Yuria.
>>340513202
It looks ok there, but I don't like it as much in the trailer
>>340513031
>>340513240
>tfw friend refuses to read FotNS because he saw the shitty anime
I cannot believe how bad the anime is in comparison.
>>340513202
I'm so fucking hyped now that I saw the trailer. I may back this just for the demo.
>>340513358
What fucking trailer?
There is no trailer.
Its a backer update.
>>340513358
Das coo mang.
I might as well post the other pictures, since no one else is.
>>340513435
semantics
calm down cowboy, you understood what I said
>>340513373
The 80s anime was good though. The filler was bearable because Ken would kill his opponents in increasingly ironic and amusing ways
I believe this is all there is.
>>340513469
this one definitely needs a dark blue sky in my opinion for contrast.
>>340511160
If you're worried about the level design, IGA will probably be taking more cues from SoTN than OoE. The galleon is just on the way to the castle; the castle itself is promised to be IGA's biggest ever. And while we haven't seen combat, the weapons are supposed to be a lot more like SoTN's than OoE--i.e actual weapons rather than glyphs, though there is crafting involved (which no Castlevania had either...except maybe Curse of Darkness or something? But that was demon summoning or something).
>>340513652
>The 80s anime was good though
No it fucking wasn't.
They turned Ren into an annoying cunt and ruined the pacing.
I couldn't believe the gap between Mr Heart and the actually big bad fight.
>>340513545
Where is the light source that is illuminating the barrels, the bundles near the top, and the part of the ship in the top left? Maybe it's just a pet peeve, but I find lighting like that to be lazy.
>>340509701
But... Thats the very last "metroidvania" game. Why did you hold off for a decade?
>>340513735
Perhaps. Or perhaps the dull brown sky helps sell the mood better.
>>340513771
No you're right, Curse of Darkness had crafting. You had to craft weapons with items stolen from enemies and bosses.
>>340513803
I didn't care for the genre.
>>340513790
I don't think it's fair for them to create a plausible light source for every bit of light in a game like this. They have to cheat like crazy in order to achieve this style of gameplay anyway.
>>340513837
Well, it certainly looks like Gears of War, if that's what they're going for.
>>340511521
>>340511514
That's why Koryu never had his fist sealed after he stepped down to let Ryuken get called successor, right
They don't all get their shit disabled or killed, dipshit
that's the whole fucking point of the whole fucking series
that the traditions were fucking stupid and they kept getting broken by people like every damn generation for the sake of the world
>>340514023
I get that to have the style they want they need to cheat things, but since it's effectively a 3D game they can put light sources in reasonably without much difficulty.
>>340514031
It's only one skyline in one particular environment. Knowing how to set a tone, means taking advantage of all kinds of color. Not just going "It's a sky, so it should be blue".
>>340514212
What if they want to build a room without an obvious light source? Are they supposed to make the room look super dark, just because there isn't the obligatory lantern hanging around somewhere?
>>340510681
at first i though right was OoE and left was some ancient NES castlevania
imagination interpolation ftw
What's up with the silly af idle animation?
Are there any better webms of it?
>>340514469
It's not-Castlevania, there are light sources to break for hearts everywhere.
>>340511283
Gotta agree with you, anon.

Not every room in Castlevania games have a lamp.
And what happens when you break the lamp? The light source goes away? Then how is the room still lit? The faked lighting, of course.

I wouldn't even be mad if it was just OoE2, OoE was fuckin' great
That said, I don't see where you're coming from here. Is it because the girl looks like Shanoa? That's not news.
>>340513240
I don't think Yuria knew any martial arts herself, she was just part of the Nanto bloodline.
>>340512316
aaayyyy lmao
>>340508446
I feel like the animations are a bit on the slow side, movement speed could also be a tiny bit quicker. Hopefully there's equippables/spells that augment speed.
Looks great though.

Tried to replay Dawn. It's very boring. Nothing about the scenario draws me in. Feels like some really pretty fan game or something. The bosses are nice. Never finished it.

She knew the best martial art of all.
For strong, powerful men to love and kneel before you.
Looks exactly like the Metroidvania character animations, which is great. The subtler stuff like the character's face slowly turning the other way around when moving the opposite direction demonstrates pretty well that Iga worked with the Metroidvania series.
>>340508446
Not that I'm complaining or anything but why is the main character a suicide girl? Did they even have those back whenever this takes place?

So let me get this straight. We waited 80 threads and we're going to to get the exact same shitpost as before? This looks like a remake of a previous thread. I don't get why we need more rehashes.
>>340517374
Her death animation better have her smashing into pieces and the shards flying everywhere
>>340517490
Holy shit I want this. I love extravagant death animations
>Just wanted a nice 2D game
>Get more 2.5D stuff
>>340517490
We do know, from one of the first concept images, that the curse can overwhelm Miriam mid gameplay. Maybe there's an ability that, if you use too often, causes the curse to overtake her.
But yeah, that's a pretty good idea for when the curse has progressed enough to cover a good portion of her body in stained glass.
>>340517490
>ryonafags
>>340517619
Nigga you're gay. It's a neat idea for a death animation given her circumstances.
It would be pretty cool if Gebel died that way too.

>>340517710

>>340516956
It's a curse that is slowly turning her skin into stained glass. Supposedly her condition worsens as the game progresses.
Playing through SOTNfor the first timeright now, just got to the inverted castle.
Suddenly this game got a lot more difficult.
I hope there will be something ridiculous and similar to the inverted castle or at least give you a "shit just got real" feeling.

It's exactly what I waited for

Are you FUCKING COMPLAINING ON BLOODSTAINED?!
You fucking piece of shit. Let me tell you something.
ASSHOLES like you back up a kickstarter without really looking at what you'll be getting, you make false hopes and delusions and when you get to fucking see the product, you go all ' OOOOOOOOOUUUHHU TGUH MUH PUR DURPET! IT SUX IT LUX SO BAD ! MUUUUHHHHH ''
Bloodstained looks amazing, it looking like Ecclesia hypes me even more.
You won't manage to make a Mighty Number 9 out of Bloodstained so shut the fuck up.
God damn, next time you back something, make sure you know what you're doing, retard.
>>340517896
>Suddenly this game got a lot more difficult.
There's a big stat boost in the enemies. It levels off after a while. Also the Inverted castle is very open ended, so it's not a smooth challenge progression.
If you want real challenge, try the level 1 saves too. They're fun. I think someone has them.
>>340518181
Shut up, retard. It's one of the best Castlevanias out there, debate me.

Fellow petrificationfag
>>340518291
13 was uuuuuuugly. Light digipaint colors and some of the most hideous flame effects ever. Whole game looks super cheap, despite not being cheap and taking ages to make.
14 is looking GREAT. I have no clue why people are complaining.
>It looks like a PS2 game!
And those look fucking great in an emulator giving it high resolution. What are you complaining about?
>>340518365
Pretty much this

It's ridiculous, even when a perfect game like Bloodstained comes around you STILL have some jobless losers trying to find a way to make shit about it. For fuck's sakes.

Not a petrificationfag, I just think it'll look coolhaha
The previous games all have you levitating in the air erupting blood all over when you die, since this one has glass might as well take advantage of it.
>>340518678
I absolutely adore SNK's old spritework, especially their effects and small details in clothing and hair.
>>340508446
are you one of those "new generation gamer" who want quick time event and easy mode for this game?
I wish her run animation didn't look so much like her torso was just hovering there while her limbs move. Give some weight to her steps.
But I've seen nothing but steady improvement from this game, so I'm not that worried

>>340518843
>Perfect
Reign that in a bit m8, we don't even have gameplay yet
Looks good as fuck so far though
>>340508446
It may be similar visually, and to that I don't really have any objections.
But in terms of abilities and level design it's bound to be different. Miriam's powers are different, and most of all, the castle this time around is said to be on larger/largest side, while Ecclesia's castle is about the smallest one.
>>340517490
I wonder what it would like as the glass shatters and she does her death yell haha
>>340519104
13 looks great though.

iirc they sent email with a survey to backers a while back about the shaders.
If anyone could vote, it would defeat the purpose of backing.
This shit would be 'brown and bloom' fest.
>>340508446
I would kill for a proper OoE sequel in whatever platform they put it. ;_;
I didn't like OoE and I don't get why everyone is comparing this to it when all we've seen are screenshots of a castle and footage of a ship. Is it the female protag? Is it just because both this and OoE have a ship in it?
>>340518547
You're right. Let's take another look at the totally-not-eye-raping footage from the teaser trailer instead.
>>340519104
One of the worst parts of XIII/XII is how the backgrounds look miles above the actual fucking characters.
The characters are all soulless rotoscoped models but the background characters are full of life and personality.
And yes those effects are awful, their sprite effects were always godlike, especially fire and dirt.
>>340519425
I dunno what you kids are fighting about but that looks pretty rad
>>340519425
That's retarded too.
>>340519372
Female protag with dark hair and blue clothes
That's literally it
>>340519494
I'm making the case that many games today rely on over saturated palettes. Not to say bright colors are inherently bad. Just that these Castlevania styled games don't need to be another brightly colored retina burn.
>>340519603
That's supposedly on-screen footage.
>>340519736
And tattoos on her skin that aren't really tattoos.
>>340519850
Which has completely out of wack colours due to the bloom and explosions.
Also not an accurate representation of the game's colour.

Well look. This is just grass and sun, nd it's probably brighter than the "phone footage" I posted earlier.

Card Battle game for TI-84Plus.
>>340520217
Let me guess: The NX version doesn't look like pureed-peas spit-up.
>>340513771
Didn't Dawn of Sorrows have a rather simplistic crafting system for the weapons where you sacrifice souls and current weapons to upgrade to better weapons?
>>340511978
>Bloodstained palette is more samey
I don't know about that. I mean, it's not my idea to excuse the game or anything, if the palletes all do end up samey I will be very disappointed.
But I really do think it's a poor idea to judge the pallete on nothing but the boat.
If I was to guess the boat is purposefully drab relatively speaking, to strike a striking contrast when you finally arrive at the castle and it's all grand and majestic. And you know, colourful.
Here is a shot from some very early alpha footage from before they had worked on shaders or anything. But it already has a wider use of colour in spite of how little work has been put into the visuals at this point.
I feel pretty safe in my hopes of them handling colour well in the game. But time will tell. E3 is very soon now and the demo should provide clarification on lots of things, such as style.
>If a game doesn't reinvent the wheel its bad
You remind me of the same people who call Souls games rehashes. As much as i don't think they're half as amazing as Fromdrones spew just because a game has the same gameplay doesn't make it bad. Its the content that surrounds that gameplay that makes it different each time.
Its like call Doom 2 a rehash of 1 back in the day and forgetting
>New enemies
>New weapons
>A entire new set of levels
As a backer, I gotta say it's looking good so far. My only real complaint is that I wish Miriam moved a bit faster, her walk/run cycle looks a bit too slow and sluggish. Anyone else feel that way as well?
I don't get it. Because Miriam is more reminiscent of Shanoa than Alucard, and because Ecclesia also had a ship stage, the game is all of a sudden confirmed to be OoE to a T and nothing like SotN?
How extremely superficial are you people? If someone made a game with a vampire as a protagonist that was kind of reminiscent of Alucard, and Dracula was the final enemy, would you immediately assume the game would be SotN to a T? Even if you knew nothing else of the game?
Jumping to conclusions like that is pretty ridiculous. And that said, OoE and SotN already have many similarities, both in style and gameplay. They are by design reminiscent of eachother, so assuming that a game that is similar to one can't possibly be like the other is just silly.
>>340520025
>rainy boat stage similar to some OoE stages
There are rainy sea stages and a sunken ship in OoE but no rainy boat stage. Besides there are boats in other CV games too you know.
>Treasure chests are 1:1 copies
Not really.
>Glyph like system from OoE for weapons
Literally untrue since IGA stated there will be real weapons and crafting.
>miriam is not-shanoa in so many ways (exposed back with symbols, symbols on body, mostly blue, dark hair, )
I'll give you this one, Miriam is all but a Shanoa expy but I can't fault IGA for trying to recreate perfection.
>similar music
Are you retarded?
I mean... it's the interior of a boat in the middle of a thunderstorm. How many colours could you realistically have in that case anyway?
I hope the prologue boss fight involves the ship getting more and more wrecked and you finally have to jump overboard and swim for shore just as the fight ends.
>>340521154
I thought that the move speed was exactly how I remembered it in most of the Castlemanias. They just need to include some speed-boosting technique/method to give the speedrunners something to exploit.
>>340521154
>My only real complaint is that I wish Miriam moved a bit faster, her walk/run cycle looks a bit too slow and sluggish. Anyone else feel that way as well?
She moves exactly as fast as Shanoa.
>>340521280
>It's a rainy boat stage, not a rainy sunken boat stage. Totally different.
>>340521154
Can't say it was anything I really thought about. But I hope it doesn't bother you if it feels awkward to you.
Personally I am more interested in what alternative means of travel you'll unlock in the game through powers and or items. Be it special moves, transformations, or certain attacks or combos.
It's always a real treat when you unlock a new means of movement that you weren't aware of before.
