youre late m8. it also looks and plays like fucking stale ass
>>342774652
Too bad SoTN sucked.
I mean, this isn't as bad as MN9, but holy fuck, the developers should have SOME sense of dignity.
>>342774974
So it's exactly like Symphony of the Night? Good to know
>>342775152
Last I heard it was one of the most loved PSX age titles. Easy for sure, but not terrible.
>>342774652
.
>It actually feels like Symphony of the Night
And that's all the reason I need to never play this game.
>>342775380
>Last I heard
Have you never actually played it?
It's awful.
Not world ending awful like E.T., or "how the fuck did they actually release it" awful like Sonic 2006. It's just your plain old awful that you can imagine a developer would shit out if they wanted money from a series but didn't want to put much work into it.
Where's the model rips?
IT'S
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>yfw you didn't back bloodstained
>>342775534
I did play it. Konami splurged detail on that title like it was going out of style. Enemy animations, length of game, music and art was top notch. Its main flaw is difficulty and voice acting.
I never found a single bug until it was shown to me how.

>>342775380
I know it is loved, but for the most part, it was outdone by all the castlevania games that came out afterwards. And even before those came out Super Metroid was better and more original anyways.
>>342775534
It was the game that forever set the precedent for the Castlevania series for years to come.

not really.

>looks worse AND has worse animations than 20+ year old PSX titles
Amazing
>>342777335
This.
>>342774652
>It actually feels like Symphony of the Night
It plays similar to it, but it doesn't feel like SOTN, because its art direction sucks dick, and Alucard is the sexiest most awesome damphyr protag ever that simply can't be beat in style.
>>342776156
alot of it was recycled from Rondo of Blood. They already had a lot of assets to work with
>>342774652
That is one long torrent string instead of the good old trustworthy mega.
Seems like the game might end up being a little boring in the same way the DS games are, but overall it seems to be coming together alright. But even if it sucks, did we really need another Igarashi Castlevania? For the sake of the more enthusiastic fans I hope it's good though.
And before anyone asks, I don't really think we need another Classicvania either, even though I love them. I'm just saying we got a fuckload of good games already.
>>342777883
The just need more animation and frames also enemy ai looks real baby tier.
>>342775534
Nice bait.
>>342774652
DELEBE DIS!
>>342776123
>>342778218
And better art direction
and map design
in other words, they need a game
>>342778159
That's the shittiest argument ever.
>every animation gives you a nice peek at Miriam's spats
>>342778218
>enemy ai looks real baby tier
Because it was so good in other games, right?
>>342778981
Probably because I'm not making much of an argument. I'm merely saying that even if it sucks I'm not sure I care because we have had plenty of good ones. Everything ends eventually.
>>342778984
>spats
>we want the 5 year old audience
The real question is can I cancel an attack animation with a backdash?
>>342779401
you can cancel your attack animation with (something).
>>342779401
You can cancel an attack with landing and a backdash just like in CV.
>>342779401
Yes.
You cand do Jump->slash->land->slash->backdash->slash for 3 quick slashes.
>>342779579
>You can cancel an attack with landing and a backdash just like in CV.
Well it's a question because in SotN you cannot, but in Aria of Sorrow and all the later ones you can. I know this game is SotN fanbait so I wasn't sure if they'd keep that faithful to the original or to the bulk of the metroidvanias after it.
But yes thank you, good to hear
>>342778984
I really really like it, exactly what i wanted : Symphony of the night 2.
But there are some thing wrong.
- Aliasing
- 2.5 strangely done, handdrawn background but 3d asset in the background too?
-The water holy shit
-What the fuck is this grey water in the background in the wall hole?
- The protagonist really stand out too much
That aside, i really like it.
>>342776556
It's a shame he didn't cave his skull in. What shithole country did that thing crawl out of?

>-What the fuck is this grey water in the background in the wall hole?
Ocean? Looks like she is some ghost ship or whatever.
>>342774652
not that I don't trust you but any mega links they tend to be faster on my bandwidth
Art direction is terrible. It's too anime with little or no grounding. I liked Symphony because, although highly stylized, it sorta kinda has some basis in real world fashion and architecture.
>>342780568
>It's T-tortanic 2.0... I swear guys... can we h-have fun now?
>>342780664

This. Feels like people are trying too hard.
is this torrent safe
>didn't have money at the time to donate to kickstarter
>missing out on all the cool bonus shit
I feel a deep suffering.
Played it at a friend's place earlier. It's pretty solid, certainly felt like I was playing SotN.
>>342781691
no torrents are safe. the government is tracking you. use a virus scanner like malware bytes. it's a whopping fucking 800MB, why don't you find out for yourself?
I liked how it played, but it looks completely awful in terms of the visuals; and not just the 2.5D, but the enemy designs and drab color as well. Presentation's such a big part of a good metroidvania experience that hopefully that will improve later, but I have a feeling the shitty enemy designs are here to stay.
Does Dullahammer have a soul or am I wasting my time farming him?
>implying I'm not wasting my time farming for something in a 3 minute demo anyways
Its not perfect, but it looks decent enough for me.
>>342782296

>>342783065
Silent Hill 2 and 3 both cost 10 million each. Do you consider them "poverty-tier budget" ?
Assuming this game does well, Iga has plenty of time to work on new things in the sequels anyway. We've seen how he managed to release Castlavania almost yearly on the DS and GBA by reusing existing resources such as graphics and the game engine, and each subsequent game shows improvement while attempting to mix things up every now and then like Sorrow's soul system and Ecclesia's whole glyph mechanic..

You were once secure enough in your masculinity to play through the same castle twice as the long, white haired, bishonen, more-of-a-teenage-girl's-wet-dream-than-Sephiroth that is Alucard, you can bear to play through it again as a bleeding girl who kicks shit to death.

On one hand I really want to listen to this. The first 15 seconds sounded amazing.
But on the other hand, isn't this almost certainly going to be the track that plays at the entry point of Gebel's castle?
I wouldn't really want to spoil that experience.

Call me if they haven't made any improvements by beta
Perhaps it is better that we never see how Julius Belmont managed to vanquish Dracula once and for all. They'd never live up to the expectations they built up over the years anyway.
>>342790897
I can hear the slight similarities. This honestly doesn't bother me though. It makes me appreciate it more. The pinnacle is a beautiful track because it highlights the central castle, the charm, and the danger of misdirection (filled with an entire room of succubi).
>yfw the boss has gigantic titties

This is the Castlevania I want more than any other. Best Belmont, would likely make for the best game. I adored every part of AoS.
>>342791362
Well, when he does his Grand Cross attack the freaking castle starts to fall apart because he is just THAT powerful.
Belmont family has a long and prestigious pedigree of vampire hunting. All that badassery must have distilled into the shape of Juste after hundreds of years of fighting evil.
>>342774652
>bitter asspained mn9 fags trying to shit up a good bloodstained thread
>>342794408
It's well known that each generation Belmont is more powerful than the last. Therefore, Julius is endgame (era?) OP.

Maybe if Bloodstained sells well, Konami could reconsider. Then again maybe I'll win the lottery.

silent hill 2 wasn't that long ago. 10 million in 2001 is worth about 13.5 million in today's money.
>>342796132
Well, the reason was because Alucard sired a child to Sonia. So if you consider that, all of Castlevania's Belmonts are in fact Dracula's family.
>>342796796
They didn't seem to care when they allowed that Spanish company to do that with LoS.

>>342797006

>>342797006
When the pachislot appeared it is pretty obvious they stopped giving a shit about Castlevania. Hell, IGA himself said that they actively tried to make shitty Castlevania games in order to kill the franchise.
>>342797413
>"I keep getting messages from fans, via Facebook and such, telling me that they wanted me to make consumer games," he said. "The people who like my games tend to play traditional video games." Those messages struck a nerve, it seems. "I'm in my mid-forties. If I don't strike out on my own now, then when will I? The voices of those fans will just get softer and softer over time." Iga thought this was the best timing to make his own road. "I'm not getting any younger, and there are games I still want to make."
>In 2010, Konami released Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It was a new take on the franchise, and Konami farmed out development to a Spanish group, Mercury Steam. Iga, however, was not in charge of the franchise.
>In an interview at the time, Mercury Steam's Dave Cox told Edge, "We needed to make a change, so we did. The Castlevania series wasn't going anywhere, sales were dwindling and it was appealing only to a very small, hardcore fanbase. That's how franchises die... We have to take these risks if Castlevania is to survive, otherwise it's just going to be like Mega Man."

Hilarious because they managed to not only kill the series but alienate almost that entire small, hardcore fanbase.
will this run on my toaster?
>>342799570
Possibly. What are you running with?
>>342797683
You know, I can't be mad they made LoS more of an action game. They tried to do something new. Nothing wrong with that, really.
The problem, however, is with LoS2. They didn't do enough to make the sequel stand out. It felt like an expansion pack more than a true sequel. Not to mention the shitty stealth sections and kinda bad pacing for the story. Also, they introduce a pretty cool and interesting new Belmont...only to kill him about an hour or two after he shows up.
>TFW Bloodstained is my first and last kickstarter I backed
>>342775534
I literally just finished SoTN for the first time two seconds ago.
You're full of shit.
>It's /v/ thirsty to shitpost for another "TORtanic" episode.
The only downside is that this game is tainted by Ben Judd who is a douche bag, is only in it for the money, and hired Dina Abou Karam because he was sleeping with her at the time.
>>342799570
Even if you manage to run the game, I highly doubt you'll be able to pull 60 FPS. Despite the game being a simple platformer and having dated visuals, it does have high requirements.
