Anyway, thanks for the massive chuckle, OP.

I like how they use wording like they've already successfully combined them. There is no way in hell three guys can do this on 300k unless they had 10 years and lived in a box
>SOTC with shitty generic orchestral music
come back to me if it gets a song with the same caliber as this

I really like how it looks
It is the closest thing to SotC sequel we'll ever get
>>344038838
>You know those other popular games?
>This is like all of them AT THE SAME TIME
>>344038385
Yeah, fuck this shit
I want to chill on a giant girl's butt

Nvm
There will only be like 5 bosses if it gets funded at all
Will there be smaller creatures to fight with?
>>344038838
>game play of Shadow of the Colossus, Deus EX, DayZ and Bloodborne
>it has tight controls
The way that's written and how they don't know how commas work makes it seem like it was written by a kid.
>>344041452
Only missing , is between frozen and mysterious. The , before an and in a list is optional.
>Spiders, knives, and memes
>Spiders, knives and memes
Both are correct.
>>344041760
>Dayz, and Blooborne
"and Bloodborne" should not contain a comma.
>>344042126
And it doesn't.
>>344036575
It does:
>Dayz, and Bloodborne
A coordinating conjunction does not follow a comma, that's wrong.
>>344042584
Wrong quote, meant to quote>>344042225
>>344038385
Literally came to this thread because I thought it would be that.
>>344041452
Britain and the US did it differently for a while. Eventually it was decided that you can do it either way, but some English teachers still get pissy about it and try to tell their students only one way is correct.
>>344043101
>Eventually it was decided that you can do it either way
So instead of teaching their kids to learn proper writing they made the rules fit the fuck ups? Holy shit.
>>344038385
>final boss
>weak spot is the vagina
>>344043318
Some people call it the evolution of a language.
I think that sometimes you need to halt that evolution a bit.
>>344043318
You forget, America still uses nothing but word overrides and plurals that don't make sense, etc.
>Plural of box is boxes, but plural of ox is oxen
>Octopus is octopi, but princess is princesses
Etc.
>>344043554
octopus has a number of acceptable plural forms
>>344041452
>being a grammar nazi but not even being correct
there is nothing wrong with those commas
>>344043554
You realize that the word octopus doesn't have English roots, right?
And that's why the plural is octopi rather than octopusses.
Sure, they're not always consistent with this, but it does make sense here.

But I do.
I most definitely do.
Can anyone ever make a proper SotC clone it was an almost perfect game

I've played enough minimalist games to know where this is going
>>344036575

Who gives a fuck about an oxford comma?
>>344036575

I am very disappointed right now
>>344044496
I think it had awful gameplay but the setting was great. A good clone should have less cinematic combat.
>>344038838
>action platformer

No. No. No. This is just SotC: With A Girl!!! Edition. Don't just use a bunch of popular titles as buzzwords.
That said it does look kind of fun. Not all ripoffs are shit.
>>344044886
Even if it was a 2D H-game, I'd still fucking play the shit out of it.
>>344044970
>cinematic combat
What would be the point?
>>344045085
Good work, Dickbutt.

>>344036575
I bookmarked this over a year ago at least, and even then they had a pretty badass trailer and some bullet points of features. Wasn't this also at E3 this year?
And their only just getting funding?
Fucking hell.
Also I don't know what this webm is.
>>344043873
>>there is nothing wrong with those commas
No, I'm not wrong, and those commas ARE wrong. Fucking Christ.
>>344043554
>Octopus is octopi, but princess is princesses
That's not because of English, but because of Latin.
>>344045407
Not E3 this year sorry, last year? Or the year before? I can't remember.
>>344045445
>I'm not wrong
Anon.
Why the fuck are we discussing grammar?
The game looks alright. Won't get a dime out of me, but I'll seed it for a while when it comes out.
>>344038620
>le SotC ripoff may may
I forgot how that game invented bosses, we should file a DMCA for every nintendo product asap!
>>344045627
>Anon.
Anon, a coordination conjunction does NOT follow a comma. You have just changed the rule to hide your ignorance of language.
>>344036575
>forced female protagonist
WHY and dropped
>>344045747
It's only forced if they use it as a selling point.
And they didn't. OP drew attention to it.
>>344045710
>>344038620
Isn't it kind of the point that it's a homage to SotC?
Off the top of my head it's one of the only games of it's type, and although I own both the PS2 and HD versions I'd love it to be updated for modern tech, even if it's just in spirit.
So why are people calling them out on it? Again, isn't that the point?
>>344045737
>change the rule
No, Oxford did and had arguments and debates on this for MONTHS.
Nowadays both are considered "acceptable."
You are being resistant to change, which while not always a bad thing is in-fact a bad thing in a case such as this.

>this won't be funded thanks to retards badmouthing kickstarter using mighty no9 as excuse when in reality they don't want people to have a multiplat version of shadow of the colossus with a cute girl as protagonist
sad sonyggers are sad desu
>>344045941
My complaint is the Survival Mechanics.
Technically the ripoff bit is just to compare them, cause "eh, why not."
>>344045950
Thankfully this is only acceptable in English.
Being resistant to a change that was clearly made to justify writing fuck ups is legitimate.
Just let Oxford keep on allowing this kind of shit and in no-time we'll see ebonics as "acceptable".
Noamsayin?
Wow that sounds like absolute shit
>>344038838
>Deus Ex and BloodBorne
Could there be any more completely opposite genres of game
>>344045987
Using the argument that one fanbase can become a kid throwing his toys out of the pram shouting 'if I can't have it, they can't have it!' is just dumb. I'm sure everyone would love to have this.
And are you saying that Mighty No. 9 wasn't a failure? What about the Ouya? They are mediocre and amateur at best, and it's a valid reason for holding off on donating or being wary of the final product.
>>344038838
so is a meme
>>344041014
You just described 95% of kickstarters
>>344045987
Team ico design their games with the gameplay first. Westerns don't. Couldn't give a fuck
>>344046368
I REALLY want to know where they used Deus Ex inspiration in this. The settings aren't even remotely similar and the genres like you said are polar opposites.
>>344036575
How slow can you be?
>>344038838
What the fuck am I reading? How do you even combine all this?
>>344046368
>>344038838
Kickstarter finally has a success - turning the names of games into buzzwords.
>>344036575
>Its not a giant SotC girl climbing simulator
Good, my game idea is still untapped.
Just imagine the sheckles I'll make.
>>344043554
>>Octopus is octopi
That's not even true.
>>344047095
Nigga, you what?
>>344046831
Make it 2D, coloured Hentai-style and very, excessivelyjiggly
>>344038838
Just looking at the gameplay trailer, how is this ANYTHING like DayZ, Bloodborne, or Day of Sex?
>>344047329
>DayZ
Survival aspects, probably.
>Blood
Probably solely because it's fast-paced
>Day of Sex
Probably cause "you have options!"
>>344047095
>>344047169
I made a double-take, but it's true. That word isn't in the dictionary. The actual plural for Octopus is Octopuses.
The fact that it gets red squiggles on Word but octopuses doesn't should tip you off.
>>344047169
Octopus plural is octopuses, dumbass.
>>344047528
They could've just made SotC with a girl and it would have been fine
Why the fuck to devs insist on shoving in unpolished mechanics in their games just to have variety? Have they never heard of quality over quantity?
Fuck indie devs
>>344047528
>Probably cause "you have options!"
The only options I would have wanted was on the map. I would love to have a SotC reboot with some of the map design of the indie game Titan Souls, where areas of the map are locked off until after a group of bosses have been killed, and you can tackle that particular group of bosses in any order.
Except, obviously, the bosses would have to be big, hairy juniper monstrosities instead of brains in ice cubes and lava testicles and shit.
Christ I hated Titan Souls.
No demo, no back
Anyone who does not heed this warning is setting themselves up for disappointment: this game is not going to be finished on time, and if it's finished at all, what you get is not going to be what this trailer has you anticipating.
>>344047528
It doesn't look even vaguely fast paced, honestly. From what the Gematsu page says there will be loot from corpses, which is the only barely Bloodborne-like thing I can see they mentioned.
>>344048046
I would not consider "fast paced" an integral element of Bloodborne's gameplay. It's not really a fast-paced game.
To me, it says "in addition to climbing giants there's also gonna be like, normal monsters and stuff, and that combat will be Soulslike"
Which IMO is to the game's detriment, but hey, people like Bloodborne so I dunno.
>>344038838
Repostan' since this seems to be the live thread.
>ambitiously
Jesus what an understatement. That's a fucking ludicrous list of games to compare to. I'd have accepted
>"We're inspired by SotC, but wanted to tweak it a little but not having non-boss enemies but have a bit more threat from the environment itself"
That actually does sound like an interesting way to put a twist on it, and I have zero inherent problem with devs copying concepts from other games and trying to tweek them a little. I loved exploring around in SotC peacefully myself, but I know lots of people wanted "other stuff to do", but adding in random mobs or sub enemies or similar combat shit seems like it'd wreck it. But if some of the environments have more going on that could be a neat way to take things. Being able to make camp, having some more challenge to survive alongside the ultimate issue of the gods? Might actually be kind of cool, particularly if the gods are a truly massive challenge that has to be more built up to and grant certain abilities that help with the survival aspects too.
But fucking Deus Ex? Bloodborne? DayZ? What the fuck does any of that have to do with it beyond GET HYPE AND GIBE SHEKELS PLS. And all on a $300k budget? Windows only and no details about what versions even? Get the fuck out you rusers.
>>344048046
>there will be loot from corpses,
Dropped.
Just wait until they start saying how many individual items you can loot as a selling point.
Give me fruit, a parachute and a new cape any day.
>>344036575
>still falling for kickstarter
Wow, just wow.
>>344044859
heh
>>344045987
To be fair, no one needs to badmouth kickstarter. How many times do people need to get burned before they wise up? Mighty no9 is a perfect example. Furthermore, the trailer for pftg is utter shit. You can't blame people for being apprehensive.
>>344038838
>glancing at KS out of mild interest

>le all crowdfunding is bad maymay
I haven't been burned by Kickstarter once, because I'm careful about what I fund and at what level. It's really not that hard to be cautious and do some research if you want to be involved and minimize your risk.
Note: I'm not saying that you SHOULD be crowdfunding at all. You're 100% justified in thinking
>"well, having to do some research and think about it sounds boring, and I'm happy with the market as-is and I can just wait for games to release and then be assured of great games every time"
and just avoiding KS, or even pre-orders, entirely. That's a fine approach. But I'm just saying KS isn't random and serves a valuable purpose in some areas, though somewhat to my surprise the really perfect areas for KS have been barely touched in vidya. Localization for example is a 100% absolutely perfect fit for crowd sourcing, but there have been very few bothering with it (Muv Luv comes to mind).
However, this one looks shady as fuck. I guess the relatively low point of entry might tempt some folks though, $15 isn't much to gamble, not like some of those ridiculous ones that want $30+ to get in the door.
>>344036575

This isn't gonna make it, is it?
>>344054345
>>344038838
That sounds like an absolute mess.
>>344054402
Most likely, yea. They actually have a trailer with fleshed out concepts. People want to be a part of it, because it shows a lot of promise already.
>>344036575
You mean it's not like this?
>>344038838
>check the kickstarter
>its real
The games aren't even remotely similar.
>>344038838
They've presented that it the wrong way but I believe what they are saying is:
>giant bosses that you defeat by climbing on them like SotC
>survival elements like DayZ
>world which looks pretty fucked like bloodborne
no fucking idea how deus ex comes into it
>>344054402
You realize today is the first day of the 'starter, right? It's raised 30k+ in less than 24 hours, you'll probably see it peak about day seven, with some ups and downs in the rate, but I figure a week is a good time to guess
