An alpha demo is already better than finished MN9.

Sold.
Torrent when
I'm pretty happy with the results so far, only thing I think they're doing wrong is the mobs/boss color palette, way too bright, didn't fit with the backgrounds.
How no one fucking uploaded the torrent?
Just upload the files, i can crack the shitty steam drm.

The problem is the exact opposite. The mobs and the boss look good, the backgrounds are too washed out.

Where do I get the code? I pledged for the 60$ Steam version on fangamer.
>>342472653
The problem is you. Go ahead and post that DS comparison to prove your null point and lets be over with it already. A fucking haunted ship in a storm should look like it does in this game.
It looks pretty good. I'm impressed at how far along it is considering it doesn't come out for another 9 months.
The one thing I'd like to see improved is the stage lighting. The characters and assets look great, but they're stuck in this flat-looking environment that looks like a level being previewed in hammer.
Imagine what it could look like if they had all the scenery cast real shadows and jacked up the contrast.
Controls feel really tight, plays exactly like you'd expect of a castlevania
Combat is basic but but fast and there is a good rhythm to fighting stuff, also you can cancel a backdash into an attack which is neat
The character designs are great and so are the models
The level itself was a bit bland looking but was designed pretty well. Felt like an OoE level
They seem to have all the basics down, now it really depends on how well the castle is designed and how well you flow through it doing all your exploring
>>342472769
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>342468751
This, I kicked them with my boots so hard
>>342472769
>MUH REALISM
No worse argument
I just played the demo as well. Did anyone else have lower than expected framerate? It might be just my toaster but I'm not sure.
Honestly, only thing I can complain about even slightly was that crouching was too sensitive. Otherwise this is exactly as I expected it to be. Seems that my pledge was well placed.
>>342473115
>Did anyone else have lower than expected framerate?
I had solid framerate, but once in a while the whole game freezed for a couple of seconds
I don't know if that's a windows 7 exclusive bug but it was a bit annoying.
>>342472663
>>342472773
Is this legit?
>>342473115
I had the same thing but also running on a toaster
plus this is a very early build but the E3 video were all smooth so who knows. Might be cause they had it all running on the same hardware

MN9 demo was awful. Bloodstained demo is fucking amazing.
>>342468629
>That boss
I had seen the fanart with Shantae mermaid and her, but I didn't expect that fucking hottie to be the boss in the demo.
Nice.
The demo felt pretty solid, the controls were nice and on point and I had pretty fun with it.
>>342474167
>the controls were nice and on point and I had pretty fun with it.
The only thing I have a problem with is that turning around takes some time. I tried to walk left, crouch and dash but I still dashed to the right instead of away from the enemy.
>>342474440
Didn't think of that, I'll probably play again later and check again.
Just remember to give that feedback to them, they do seem to actually listen to their backers. Hell, everyone here should do that if they got any complaints or things they want to see improved. I'm sure most already do but a reminder doesn't hurt, the more people that voice their criticism as well as praise, the better the game will be. Hopefully at least.
>>342473115
framerate was shit in windowed for me, fullscreen was fine though.
Now maybe I'm being perfectionistic here but I'd like to see more kick variations on the ground as well as in midair.
Also visual feedback if you swing your weapon against solid walls and/or try to push against them.
Visualized bodyarmor on the playermodel as well as on the avatar in the menu would be pretty baller too.
That is all.
>>342474880
Visual armor is in I believe
>>342474880
Visual armor seemingly is in the final product, atleast in the form of changable outfits.
Otherwise it would be cool to see those things. I'm just getting a feeling that stuff like that wont be in.
>>342474880
I agree with you, it's why, if I can bring up another game without attracting shitposters, the new Zelda is liked. Small details really adds a lot to the enjoyment honestly. More kick variations especially would be nice, or if they made it so weapons have different attack patterns, such as shoes allowing you to kick upwards perhaps.
>>342475053
>>342475370
Noice.
>>342474880
visual armor means a shitload of work, and not really necesary at all, with visual headgears and maybe visual scarfs its enough
>>342472663
Why the fuck am I getting slowdowns on a 650ti? Sub30fps on 1080p. Is it really so GPU intensive?
>>342474880
>>342475053
It is to some degree. Changing her headband and weapon gives her a different look but the chest armour I found didn't.
Is there any way to make the resolution smaller? I have a garbage tier laptop that runs it at like, 10 fps right now.
>>342474780
They even beg people to complain in the email they sent before the demo
I wonder if they'd do something stupid and release a debug build, time to fire up ida
>>342472663
cool
not sure why they wouldn't just make it free for everyone, if they did more people would check it out. not like it's a full retail game that's being downloaded.
Man the demo feels good, I'm actually thinking about getting the GOG version or something for €28.
Does anyone know if the game will support resolutions above 1080? I'm on 1440 but the game barely uses any resources 4k downsample or something would be nice
>>342468629
How do you do that? How do you make the demo of one game, better than the final product of another one?

>>342475908
>>342475398
>, or if they made it so weapons have different attack patterns, such as shoes allowing you to kick upwards perhaps.
This will pretty much be in as it is a key part of the other games, a weapon having an over head arc is reason to pick it despite being slow
>>342475574
Its a pretty early build of the game and is not optimized really at all yet.
>>342475956
By giving a shit and listening to the fans
>>342475574
It's UE4 and the game has no optimization since it's not even 20% finished yet. So calling it a pre-alpha works.

True. But this is an early build too. So that's even worse.

Archival.
>>342472663
Thanks you faggot now I have to reinstall windows 10.
>>342475769
It's to reward backers as the other anon said.
But that is not the only reason probably. Games takes plenty of time to complete and yet almost every company wait until it's 1-2 years away before revealing a game. The reason for this is because first impression are incredibly important, so most does not want to risk making a bad impression by letting consumers try out early builds.
Now, the E3 Demo was pretty solid but I imagine they also don't want people to think "This is what the end product will be like".
>>342475908
Back to consoles faggot. You can't even fix shit like this.

How is it bad that an extremely early build plays fantastic already? Sounds like someone backed MN9 and is salty
>>342473183

The game is really enjoyable though...

I have to admit this is better than expected. I might upgrade my backing for the game.
>>342472663
Thank you based anon.
>>342473183
Had a solid framerate, I use Windows 10 (Yes, I know) and use 980ti and similar things. Think it's probably it's just the game not being very optimised yet since it's an early build. Optimization generally happens near the end of development I think.
>>342477312
What I'm salty about is that I was right about MN9. Meaning I thought it might suck. And I didn't want to be right as much as the writing was on the wall.
>>342477479
That's exactly what I am saying. Hell I'm glad I never backed MN9.

>>342479350
>1% drop
Small time.
>>342478959
My only complaint about the game, the bosses looks way off. I hope the game goes back to Castlevania style bosses when in the castle.
Protip retards, the demo is not DRM'd on Steam. There's actually plenty of games on Steam without DRM, since Steam is just a platform. The DRM itself is Steamworks and requires the developer to pay for it.
This shit doesn't use Steamworks.
>>342479496
Every single one except the Goo monsters drop souls.
The Goos don't drop because according to IGA they aren't fully developed demons.
>>342479350
I thought it was supposed to be a SOTN clone.
Well I'm disappointed
>>342479537
>bosses
We've seen one, and people already love her
>>342479537
We'll see, I don't think they aim to make it a complete copy of Castlevania, it's very possible that they intend to try and create their own style.
>>342479561
It's a Sorrow game with SotN's terrible floaty movement.
Wort of both words, enjoy.
Amy monsters have 1% drop chance for their souls, full game will have monsters with 0.1% drop chance.
>>342472663
I also like dolphin porn.
any way to change your active power in the demo?
>>342479750
Go to menu, equipment and then you can change the tab
>>342472653
I agree about the backgrounds, in the demo it was often hard to see what's in the background and what's in the foreground
>lets lift the WORST elements of Ecclesia (linear and bland outdoor locations), Sorrow games (soul grinding), SotN (horribly floaty movement) and the PSP Rondo Remake (awful 3D visuals)
>despite having ~10mil budget lets make a game that looks worse than competition's ~800k budget game
And you retards will still eat it up.
To me it feels like a doujin game ripoff of Castlevania that doesn't understand what was good about those games.
I'd genuinely rather replay existing Castlevania games or play Touhouvania. I get you idiots are too invested because you put money on this and thus can't see straight but goddamn fucking TRY looking at it objectively.
It's very mediocre for Castlevania standards.
What are the M+KB control?

Z is backdash and N is map

Did you forget the part where we already know this will have the biggest castle of any IGA game?

>>342480432

Yes, resort to petty fucking insults instead of accepting criticism. Fuck you too, get cancer and die, that's clearly the only way of communication you memeing retards understand. Insults and shitflinging, because god forbid someone criticizes flaws of your game.

If you actually looked at it objectively - instead of trying to be an edgy contrarian - you would also include the fact that it's basically a conceptual alpha version. They even deliberately stated that it's just a demo to show off, and should NOT be seen as a beta-version.
I'm not completely blown away from the demo either, but it looks pretty solid for what it is - maybe also because I actually liked SotN and the Sorrow games, unlike you seem to.
We'll see how it works out in the future.
Stay salty.

Down+attack in midair does a different animation which doesn't appear to function any differently

Your body
>>342484678
you want someone to decide for you?
Facts about the demo.
All monsters except the black gloop monsters drops shards, Amy has the smallest chance at 1%
There are secrets behind walls which you can destroy with attacks
One secret is found early in the demo by jumping up on a broken mast, gets you the leather armour and there's also a destructible wall here.
Equipment has a visual change on Miriam except for body equipment which changes nothing visually.
There seems to be other places you can go but I am not sure if you can reach them in the demo or if you need a powerup of sort that you can get in the finished product. Mainly referring to the places that are too high up for you to jump up to.

OoE was as much linear as Castlevania 3 with its map.
>>342480621
>Did you forget the part where we already know this will have the biggest castle of any IGA game?
Not him but that just a promise.
And it is a pretty weak one in the light of what we saw in terms of level design and art-style in thee demo. Apparently they are already narrowed the key concept which they are gonna follow from now on so I don't expect much from that "zOMGAWESOMECASTLE"

SotN does not.
OoE also has boss fights that are not pathetically easy.
>>342487360
So did I, however, If I had to rank them Eccelesia is waaaaay far off from SoTN level of quality and awesomeness. Even far off from AoS or DoS.
>>342487373
Nope
>>342487396
Run the demo
>>342487284
Ecclesia brought back difficulty to the series, albeit at the very end of the franchise. Not to mention walking Dracula, who made it clear the gloves were off that fight.
>>342487506
Yes
>>342487284
OoE did not have the gigantic mess that is the Inverted Castle.
>>342487042
>better
omg LOL
>>342487506
Yes though. You are being objectively wrong.
>>342487536
Via Steam or directly via EXE
>>342487471
>OoE has the Death Ring.
kek
>OoE also has boss fights that are not pathetically easy.
>difficulty argument
Subjective factor. Some people enjoyed SOTN alot because it wasn't trying to be retarded DarkSouls-alike shit or diehard legacy of classicvanias (artificial difficulty is the main reason a lot of people never really played original games).
Find real argumentation and then we will talk.

More combat options, more content, better level design albeit based on classicvanias, it's actually hard and has actual interesting bosses. Shame about OoE's last boss though.
>>342487636
No
>>342487696
Not sure how is this disadvantage, even without that Castle it still longer than any other Castlevania and better. Like.. wat.
>>342487617
Already referenced0 the "difficulty" argument. Too subjective. Works as your opinion, sure.
>>342479880
That's a problem with 2.5D in general. It can be mitigated of course, but it's pretty common.
If I'm just being an idiot please rape my face but,
You can't rebind the controls to the keyboard? do I need to use a controller?
I liked the a lot
>>342473396
Here you go
I'm really sad my potato can't run the demo. Ah well, glad I backed it just looking at the feedback and impressions
Miriam is cute and all but she just doesn't feel right as a protagonist. She's too thicc and soft-looking, she belongs in my bed not killing monsters
>>342487937
>More combat options
What combat options? SoTN has shitloads of items, spells, tarnsformations, shield attacks, Summons and throwables. In no way what Ecclesia offered was "better".
>more content
Not a single Castlevania game since SoTN had as much content as SoTN. It is not an opinion, it's a fact the community usually does not even doubt. Except those who is familiar with series on a casual level or joined recently.
>it's actually hard
Again, too subjective argument.
SoTn managed to attract giant audience because it wasn't as hard as other game and compensated it with INSANE explorability factor.
>and has actual interesting bosses
Boss-design in SoTN was superb.
>>342488436
I dont know, judging by hard she kicked the titty kraken it feels like she can do both things well enough.

>>342487794
>defending SotN's brain dead difficulty
Holy shit, I lie SotN but this is ridiculous. In no way almost every single Metroidvania that came after SotN wasn't an improvement in some way.
>>342486036
Have you actually played the demo?
Shards are souls with a different name.
>>342488573
>still thinking SotN wasn't a experimental game full of design flaws
>actually considering this worth to be used as an argument
EVERY game in some way an experiment that has flaws. YOU NEVER know if people will like it in the end.
>defending SotN's brain dead difficulty
I'm not "defending" it. You are trying to present it in a way that this aspects literally diminishes every other positive aspect of SOTN.
I provided argumentation that shows:
1. Lower difficulty and more approachable gameplay attracted more players to the series and secured the future for shittons of 2D Castlevanias
2. SOTN compensated this difficulty with absolutely free and non-linear exploration and amount of content. Literally NO 2D game EVER had so much content to explore.
>>342488707
Yes.
Have you played OoE? Know what glyphs are?
Yeah.
>>342488956
You have to absorb glyphs to acquire them, minimal difference, but it's there.

>>342489136
Anon, I'm not even sure why are you arguing. it is completely the SAME concept just presented differently:
Souls -> Glyphs -> Shards
Literally zero difference
>>342489172
>when no more arguments left there is always an anime picture that will show him!
>>342488956
Glyphs are used for basic attacks in OoE.
In Sorrow games, Souls are clearly distinct from standard weapons and attacks.
So yes, the Shards system is way closer to Souls than Glyphs.
>>342488956
>You are trying to present it in a way that this aspects literally diminishes every other positive aspect of SOTN.
But you're doing exactly the same, anon. You're just blindly defending SotN and turning a blind eye to actual real complains about SotN. Anyway, have a last (You).
I hope this game ends up having SOTN-style special weapon attacks
I just played the demo, and this was exactly what I signed up for.
I did honestly not expect them to deliver a straight Castlevania game, but they just did it. Nothing out of the ordinary, and it perfectly matches up with what I had in mind when I threw some money at them.
>>342489283
I see what you mean but it still the same thing, technically.
>>342489358
>But you're doing exactly the same, anon. You're just blindly defending SotN and turning a blind eye to actual real complains about SotN. Anyway, have a last (You).
No?
I recognized the fact that SoTN has lower dofficulty factor, but instead of going blind diehard fan of difficulty on this I pointed out advantages of such change.
So, are you guys reporting your complaints and concerns to the forum, right?
Or are you just crying about it here where nothing will change?

I reeree riku dis otokonohito
I've always enjoyed playing Metroidvania games for fun, but in the manner of just bruteforcing the bosses and enemies and healing when needed. Is there a "higher level" of play for these games? I mean the stuff you see in other action games like abusing particular game mechanics.
>>342489252
The way the shards are acquired is similar to the Souls system. Glyphs worked differently to acquire them.

>We've seen one
There are leaked files from the demo that show more bosses.
>>342473524
Hello sir. It appears to be that you are posting in the wrong thread for information concerning an H-Game I am not aware of. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is an action Metroidvania game directed by Iga. While Iga's games may have sexy elements, they do not have hentai elements.
Now, if you don't mind, please direct me to the thread you're posting in, because I want in on some H-game shit.
>>342489730
Attack canceling and any kinda glitch that either lets you move faster or attack faster is about as high level play as you can get.

Speaking of which, was the demo for this game ever uploaded?
>>342490010
>>342490176
Yep, bulshit
I unpacked all files today and haven't found a single boss. There are some textures and assets leftovers but no other enemies or bosses
They've leaned it up well since june 13.
>>342475574
I'm on a 670gtx and getting 50-60 fps it's never a stable 60fps good to see i'm not the only one with drops in frame rates, but then again it's an extremely early build so...
They said the game has a fatal crash in the update is that true?
>>342490526
That's weird, I have GTX670 and it mostly 60. It is only sub 50 when UE does its usual thing because shit engine
>>342490551
what
who says
where
>>342490551
How? Its just a demo which has not been updated once.
>>342490818
The kickstarter update they say things they know about so do not report them one of them was a fatal crash
>>342486940

Luckily that's an unpopular opinion.
No brakes. Hype Train.
