It looks nice, but I am really skeptical about any kind of kickstarter game. What do you think, /v/?

I'd like another one.
I think 5 bosses seems very little but adding survival mechanics and a snowy environment to SOTC sounds really fucking good. I just wonder if binding more bosses, which I suspect the game needs for people to feel like it is actually complete, to backer goals when you're not even sure the game's gonna get funded is a good idea.
I kinda want to back it but
>no PayPal
Not happening
looks better than the last trailer but this game seems like it will never come out

There's nothing with kickstarter games, unless you're a mouthbreathing retard who falls for obvious scams.
Kickstarter has produced a significant number of great games I have personally enjoyed, because I donate only to devs that are trustworthy and have a name, so they stand to ruin their reputation if they fuck up.
I really have to wonder why they're using Kickstarter when they could push for a professional publisher. They clearly have a working proof of concept and could probably get more funds.

Such as?
>SotC
>But with a grappling hook
>negating half of what SotC was
Okay.
>>344266481
Shovel Knight, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity OS, Expeditions Conquistador, Hyper Light Drifter Shadowrun Returns (leading to Dragonfall and Hong Kong)
>>344266612
Who said it'll work on the monsters? Being able to grapple around at least means a quick escape in a pinch. It'll probably have limits to it, and likely not be easily found/built.
>>344266921
>Who said it'll work on the monsters?
Did you watch the trailer?
>>344264914
I would back this, the system shock game and the friday the 13th game if I was into kickstarting poorfags.
this game has potential
>>344266921
>Who said it'll work on the monsters?
the trailer, at 1:15
>>344266612
It really depends on how it's used. SotC had some crazy shit in it that let you bypass the a lot of shit.

Reminder:
Don't trust indie trash.
Don't support indie trash.
Let retards spend their money and if the game hits its goals and is actually good you can buy it.
>>344266910
he's gonna say all those games are shit to not lose.
>>344266910
I said name great games, not total shit.
>>344266989
That was only for the flying one, though. And clearly that didn't work out well as the girl fell, though that could have been something like running out of stamina at the same moment (at least that would be the gameplay reason, trailer obviously did it for dramatic effect). Still, who's to say the bosses will just lie there and let you shoot a hook into them? The giants might brush it off or even yank you toward them.

Other than that, brilliant plan

>>344267261
Not him but unless you donate a shitload, it won't make a difference. Even if a small amount like $30 made the difference, chances are the devs would just bite the bullet and front the $30.

I love this place

I'm really starting to get annoyed with this shit, grapple hooks are starting to feel like a lazy game mechanic just like double jumping.
>>344267514
Double jumps never have let you go from the ground to hundreds of feet in the air.
Hulk games don't count.
In any case, I doubt the thing is going to be game breaking.
>>344267514
>lazy game mechanic just like double jumping.
It's a tool, m8. DMC uses it to pretty good effect Wall/enemy jumping, with full on double jump requiring an expensive upgrade.
Hell, in DMC3 with some basic timing you can get Vergil a triple jump.
>Unity engine
Oh great, another poorly optimized piece of shit.
>>344264914
Been following it a while, will definitely pirate it.
>>344264914
Thanks for reminding me about this game OP. I remember seen a trailer awhile back but didn't know it was going to be a kickstarter project, which I normally don't do, but I am going to back this because its PC first and I absolutely loved Ico + SotC.
On top of all that, you get to play as a cute girl too.
>>344267514
Dying Light turns to absolute cheese the second you get that fucking hookshot
>>344267261
I said let retards fund it. You're not a retard, are you?

Wall/enemy jumping =/= double jumping, the former is something that complements the game design. In general mediocre platformers add double jumping as an amends for poor level design and in place of interesting traversal mechanics. The same can be said for mediocre games with hookshots, these tropes are symptoms of bad design.
Don't get me wrong you can make double jumping and hookshots interesting mechanics if you put in the effort but usually they're just slapped together because of a lack of effort.
>>344264914
It looks like shit? The only remotely interesting thing about it is 1:1 stolen from another game.
Uncreative piece of shit developers.
And even SotC was an overrated piece of shit game design wise. And of course performance wise.
>>344268209
>The only remotely interesting thing about it is 1:1 stolen from another game.
I wasn't aware SotC took place in a snowy environment.
>>344267821
I forgot how long does it take to unlock but maybe it was there in case players are getting tired of travelling and want to move faster? either way, nothing is keeping you from discarding it for an extra inventory space or simply not turning it into absolute cheese
if they can balance the hookshot this can stand to be a good game.

>nice music

Call me hype. Would back if I could.
>>344264914
>Kickstarter
I love SotC and think it's in my top 5 vidya of all time, but I'm not ever supporting Scamstarter.
>>344268209
>when a new genre type game comes out, it should be the ONLY game that should ever follow that formula, unless of course the original dev makes more games like that, EVERYTHING else is just """"uncreative"""" "copy" "clone" """"shit""""
Yeah, wouldn't the diversity of games existing right now be great if everyone followed your retarded thinking
For FPS games would only have id software games and NOTHING else.
