BRAVO IGA! BRAVO!
I want to make love to that music in a candle lit room
>TEN MILLION DOLLARS
Where is this figure coming from? Did Deep Silver give specifically 4.5 million on top of the 5.5 million kickstarter funding?
>>340737389
Why are you so mad? The game obviously isn't finished yet.
>>340738046
Yes.
>Two more days
Who else is hyped for the demo?
>>340737389
Fuck off, Inafune.
>>340737389
>>TEN MILLION DOLLARS
This has to be a factually incorrect claim
It is impossible to spend that much money on that thing
It looks so ugly
>this thread again
>>340738054
Looks LESS detailed than Order of Ecclessia, an 8 year old NDS game.
How do you fuck up that hard?
>>340738281
have you heard about Tim Schafer?
>>340738386
It's not finished, though.
>>340737389
>OP: its crashing and burning just like mn9
>Everyone in the thread: I'm quite happy with the kick-starter so far
I've clicked on this thread every time I've seen it over the past week and EVERYTIME you fail to incite you desired reaction,. Care to tell us why you still post these threads OP?
>>340737389
And its shaping up to be a goty when it comes out in a year or maybe two, no matter how much the retarded shitposters trying to convince themselves its another tortanic.
>>340738456
even his stuff honestly looks better
at least it's drawn and not 3D
>>340738486
>It's not finished, though.
How many months has it been since the kickstarter?
And what have they shown? Literally nothing but the MC and a few rooms. That's where all of their manpower has gone and they can't even be bothered to make it look decent
What about Shantae? The day it was announced it already looked good and was ACTUAL footage
>>340738537
shitposting is a more guaranteed way of getting replies
it's sad but true
>>340737389
A real demo is coming at E3 you cheap b8ing faggot
It looks good. They have been able to put some things together and feature them. Pretty sure they have more than this done. Afterall, they got to the point where the game starts having more shape.
This game isn't coming out for over half a year, and they already have a demo ready for E3.
>>340738537
The same reason people shitpost about MN9, both are fine looking games.
>>340737389
How much did they spend on David Hayter?

SFM PORN WHEN?
>>340737389
Take more effort next time
I just want the armpit porn/fanart.
This game will be average on it's best day and everyone will forget about it 100% after 2 months give or take if I am being generous.
I'm sure it will bring nothing new or exciting at all whatsoever. 100% sure.
>>340737389
You can't turn everything into the next TORtanic anon.
>>340738905
Maybe so to people who aren't Igavania fans, but I still revisit the GBA and DS games quite regularly. If Iga and his team deliver then I'm confident that I'll be playing this game for quite some time.
you faggots are never happy
the game looks fine
>>340737389
How big is the team?
It's obvious that a lot of up-front work has been put into shaders and asset creation, and that core gameplay logics aren't ready to show yet and the animation team hasn't made much progress.
But that's game design; if you have only a handful of people working on the project, and they do asset creation first (which is a valid approach; asset creation > level design, level design > player ability design, player ability design > enemy design) then of course the game will have nothing more than a bunch of empty rooms.
If it was done the other way around, like for example Ori, and the game at the 1 year mark consisted of squares and circles on a plain grey backdrop but the moveset was feature-complete, would you complain?
Do you really think that game design is done with the same chronology as game playing?
Also
>$10m
Money doesn't buy faster work unless they invested that cash in expanding the team radically. It's one thing when it's someone like Inafune who clearly hired a large team and formed an incorporated entity with the money but is this team more than a handful of dudes? You can throw cash at them all day, it won't make the work faster.
>>340739129
I 100% guarantee that you will not play this game more than the gba/ds castlevania games.
It will not happen.
>>340738632
>And what have they shown? Literally nothing but the MC and a few rooms. That's where all of their manpower has gone and they can't even be bothered to make it look decent
That's just what they showed in the video, it's a carry-on from the surveys about the MC's character model and the backgrounds.
Try making the thread once the demo is out, it's only a few more days. Then you'll have something to complain about.
>What about Shantae? The day it was announced it already looked good and was ACTUAL footage
And yet it still got delayed by three years. I'm looking forward to HGH, but I wouldn't call it a fine example of well-planned development.
The fucking demo comes out once E3 starts proper, calm yourself until then.
>autists fall again for a retarded reverse troll
>>340739261
Isn't $10m kind of small in modern day development anyway?
>>340739276
Whats your basis for this? As a backer of this game and as someone whoa s stated has put quite a bit of time into SotN plus all 6 GBA/DS games I have seen nothing alarming in this kickstarter.
I like exploring the castles and settings and Iga as spoken multiple times about how important the level design of the castle will be.
What about it so far makes you so certain it wont have the same kinda hook as the old games?
OP is a Mighty Blunder backer faggot trying to get back at /v/, always ignore him
>>340738820
>SFM PORN WHEN?
Never. SFM porn is lazy and ugly.
>>340739276
Did you not see all the stretch goals?
>>340738537
>I've clicked on this thread every time I've seen it over the past week and EVERYTIME you fail to incite you desired reaction
Me too. It's such a blatant lie that no one believes, I don't see what the point is in making these threads.
I'm still keeping my expectations in check though. I don't want too get too excited for this game. It might still end up sucking. But so far, so good.
>>340739526
It's small only if you look at AAA game development, which ahve bloated costs.
7-10 is standard for the PS2 era.
>Hi, I'm Kenji Inafune. I created Mega Man. Please give me 5 million dollars.
>Mega Man turns out to be actually created by Akira Kitamura
>Hi, I'm Koji Igarashi. I created Symphony of the Night.
>Syhphony of the Night was actually directed by Toru Hagihara
Are they both con men?
>>340739925
>7-10 is standard for the PS2 era.
That doesn't mean much when that ended ten years ago.
>which ahve bloated costs.
Isn't it due to graphical demands being incredibly costly? It's the kind of thing that the OP seems to think is missing, anyway.
Wow, people on /v/ really are so sad and pathetic that the only enjoyment they get out of life now is shitpost that every new game will be the new Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, huh?
>>340737389
>this salty MN9 faggot that keeps making these turbo autist threads
>>340740109
>That doesn't mean much when that ended ten years ago.
Just saying that some of the best games ever, were made with those budgets. Games should go back to that economic model. Everyone is chasing the AAA dream with razor thin margins and it just is not working.
Silent Hill 2 cost 10 million and it's one of my fave games ever.
>>340738632
you are, without an inkling of doubt, genuinely retarded
>>340738782
>both are fine looking games.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
>>340738782
I disagree, there. I didn't back MN9, and a lot of people are blowing it out of proportion because they want a new TORtanic, but the game still looks pretty bad, while Bloodstained is coming along fantastically.
>>340740036
IGA looks like he's slowly getting out of the Castlevania Dracula phase and getting in the Hellsing Alucard phase instead.
>>340740649
If MN9 was released on steam without any fanfare, no one would care. It just looks like a rather average buget game. People expected more with 4 million+ and "the father of Mega Man" Kenji Inafune involved.
>>340741008
Yeah, it looks very mediocre from what I've seen, and unless the reviews turn out great, I'll probably pick it up on sale down the line. Bloodstained though, is going to be a day 1 purchase if it keeps up this quality. Not only does it look a lot better than most 2.5d games, the developers are very actively involved in the community, are giving steady updates (instead of vanishing for months at a time like the MN9 devs), and seem to have a much clearer vision in mind than the MN9 devs.
>demo will only be available to backers, and only the ones who backed at the $60 level or above
Pathetic

>>340740036
Iga never said he created Symphony of the Night. He was assistant director, programmer and scenario writer for SotN.
>>340741967
1. It breaks game immersion. There's some sign with "Face in the game". It doesn't fit in the game world at all.
2. Arin is a lazy hack. I hate seeing his smug avatar in the game.
3. Fuck Game Dumps.
>>340737389
India has sent a probe to Mars for lesser money.
Let that sink in, some streetshitters sent something to a different planet for less money and these incompetent game devs couldn't even make a game
>>340741729
>5,000,000
IGA says he already secured 90% of the funding from the publisher before the KS campaign started, which had an initial goal of 500,000. The total budget has to be at least 10,000,000 if we take that into account.

>>340741729
Nice, a three hours game with enough bloom that it hides half the textures.
>>340742771
Yooka-Laylee looks like crap though. Looks like they just took Banjo and slapped in an iguana.
Gotta love the childish passive-aggressive writing though. Very professional.
>>340742771
Being honest Yooka Laylee has to be the best handled Kickstarter I've ever seen, on par with Shovel Knight. I'm happy it's doing so well.

No kojima that's why it looks like shit
Name a single japanese kickstarter that didn't end up being complete shit.
>>340743310
Also professional. I never said YL will be bad because hey, Banjo wasn't bad and this looks like it straight rips it off, but it still looks like crap because they could've done anything and instead just made Banjo again. It's because of that why I think YL is looking less and less interesting, even if it ends up being good.

Trying again, huh? You should consider waiting more than a few hours after your thread shits itself to death before trying again.
>>340741804
I'm pretty sure you can just DL the demo on PC and then get your copy on whatever system you want.
>>340741804
You can reassign your copy to steam or gog even now. I can understand why you wouldn't, though.
>>340741831
Is this any good? I'm kind of starved for Metroidvanias.
Miriam is for _____!
>>340743768
lazy bait attempt
>>340742771
Yooka Laylee already had enough money to be made, though. The KS was entirely about getting more money to help flesh out the game.
Are people on /v/ genuinely retarded?
I can't tell if it's bait anymore or people are actually this fucking stupid?
I mean look at this dipshit.
>>340743768
Is this bait or pure retardation?

CS:Source beta - barely any difference except small gameplay mechanics/balancing and bug fixing
EVOLVE - barely any difference except small gameplay mechanics/balancing and bug fixing
Dead by Daylight - see above
Doom - see above
Crysis alphas/betas - see above. Even leaked and broken as fuck Crysis 2 alpha in the end didn't differ much compare to final product except cutscenes/dialogues and lack of crashes between level changes
Left 4 Dead 2 - see above
You can name more but it is irrelevant. Most of the alphas/betas fro these games had the core concept and content existing and it was fun.
From that video of something you call techdemo all I see is bland level design, bland art-design, bland basic gameplay. Literally has nothing to do with fluid castlevania from get go.
>>340741831
What game?
I know you're just baiting, OP, but I agree with this looking unimpressive, there are a few things that turn the whole thing ugly to me.
>Lighting is strong to the point of looking like bloom
>Lighting is independent of the actual light sources in the level, it looks like all lighting is coming from our perspective
>Colors are washed out as a result and don't pop up as much as they should
Most other Castlevania games look much better, including the DS ones Iga previously worked on (pic related). I'm hoping he substantially improves how it looks.
>>340737389
Ugly 3D graphics.
>>340737389
You sure know how game development works.
