It's not even close to MN9 levels, but it looks pretty fucking bad.
>TFW you fell for the Kickstarter meme again
That is indie level tier lighting
>Boring palette
>Washed out colors

Damn, it looks ugly as fuck. Let's hope it plays well, at least.
2.5D was a mistake
I'm just waiting for models to get ripped into SFM
It doesn't look THAT bad.
But yeah, it looks bad.

>>340658921
What's wrong with it? It looks like Dracula X Chronicles on PSP, but with an actual budget.
All in all, it looks like a game Iga would make, and that's pretty good, considering how most devs turn full retard with kikestarter projects they get funded without a publisher in the mix.
>>340659490
>>340659509
>>340658921
It looks fine, the only thing that looks bad is the chest, and I think that's just unfinished or something.
>>340658921
What the fuck are you on about? It looks great.
>>340659532
Everyone just wants everything to be the next TORtanic or MN9 because shitposting is fun
I think it looks fine and I'm excited to get the demo in a few days
>>340658921
I like it, but then again I like ghost ships. You got more footage?
>>340659665
Cool, so you have a smartphone and a tablet, too.

Why is this allowed?
It doesn't look like the worst thing in the world, but you look at the sunken ship level in Order of Ecclesia and this looks like shit in comparison
>>340658921
It looks alright, though I don't expect it to be any less boring than the DS games were.
Tortanic was a mistake
Eh, the only thing I find bad is the jarring reset to the start of the idle animation when jumping and landing.
So it goes
>Idle
>Run
>Jump
>Idle
>Run
It looks janky
The Vita and WiiU versions are holding it back.
>>340659894
It very much looks like a 3D remake of Order. But it's colors are washed out and bland.
>>340659842
Yeah, a PC, three smartphones, three tablets and an additional laptop
Or maybe this just looks like shit.
Looks like nothing special but movement looks smooth and like it flows well. I like how Miriam does a quick backwards dash as she changes direction.
>this assravaged faggot desperately posting this over and over
>every single time most everyone in the thread says it looks great
>>340660054
Seems like the worst part that ruins it is the lighting, that's my impression anyways. Looks fanmade.
>>340658921
looks amazing honestly, really good imitation of sotn style
>>340660094
The movement is too floaty but that's always been a pretty big complaint of mine with Iga-directed Castlevanias
>>340658921
It looks fine and I'm especially happy with how Miriam looks.
>>340660141

Are you reading the same thread I am? What fantasy world do you live in?

The colors in this video aren't that good, but in other sections shown it's not at all washed out. As for he fanmade look, I blame that they went in making this game probably not expecting to make that much money and went for a relatively easy 3d engine without a whole lot of experience going in.
We'll have to see how it turns out, but people comparing it to MN9 is just a shitposting meme at this point.
They even gave her an animation for turning around after doing a landing. It looks like they at least give a shit.
>>340660863
>disagreeing with you means damage control
>>340660847
>>it looks nothing like a castlevania game (LOOKS, not plays)
It is aiming very hard to be Order of Ecclessia 2.
>>tfw i wish it was just sprite art like the metroidvanias
Same here, but it's not practical. No one's ever figured out the magic of getting that looking nice in 3D.
>>340658921
The number one thing above all others that brings me back to the castlevania series is the grafix.
>>340661016

What exactly looks bad there other than the dipping framerate?
>>340660863
>this butt flustered that not everything is TORtanic by /v/'s decree

THANK YOU CON MEN !
>>340661172
Hey. Don't lump me with those faggots. I'm a backer and am still looking forward to trying the game out and I'm still criticizing how it looks.
Order of Ecclessia is my favorite post-SotN Castlemania so I have high hopes for this still
>>340661105
That involves going through every single fucking frame and tweaking the model to make it look 2D.
Furthermore that only works because in a fighting game they know that you will always be looking at the scene from one specific angle so you can't tell how deformed the model actually is.
>>340661297
>I love short hallways and lack of exploration
>>340658921
2.5D looks terrible with this much scene depth
Why can't games just emulate the parallax effect of SNES games?
>>340659195
It's a wrecked ship in the middle of a storm, anon. What colours do you expect there to be?
>>340661334
>so you can't tell how deformed the model actually is.
Are there any shots of the models from different angles?
>>340661395
Oh you liked Castlevania IV too?
>>340661016
If it sells well enough and they have enough leftover kickstarter money they really ought to make another game that has that Vanillaware-esque look that was in their concept pieces.
>>340660847
Personally like the walk animation and scarf, but we'll have to see the combat in motion. I think most people expect to see something like SotN, but we get there when we get there.
>>340658921
Graphics whores are the worst, I wish I didn't share a hobby with you faggots.
The graphics in this are perfectly serviceable, and the art style works well.
>>340660591
Clearly you can't fucking read. The positive responses far outweigh the negative in this very thread.
>>340661456
It's not the colors, it's the fact they're bleached (probably partly because of the lighting)
At least they're showing progress. How long did it take to get actual screens from Mighty No. 9 again?
>>340661595
They're 100% the reason we get games like The Order 1880 whatever. If they fucked off forever games would be better.
I actually like the way it looks. Nothing offends me. It's not 5/5 perfection but I'd give the graphics a 3 to 3.5/5 from what I can see in this video. I didn't donate to the kickstarter. Graphics also aren't very important to me.

>>340661016
yeah i know its not practical but a man can dream
sprites are objectively the best way to do side scrollers.
nothing apart from the protag being brunette pale and having body markings says OoE to me, i would know OoE is my favourtie and shanoa is my waifu, if its even close to that i'll be overjoyed.
also the jumping looks floaty as all fuck.
music is top notch though, as to be expected.
honestly, theres issues but as long as theres an awesome variety of monsters (talking like dawn of sorrow sized here) and the movement and combat feels nice i can make my piece with the rest

>>340658921
>Looks like Order of Ecclesia but with better graphics
What's the fucking problem
>>340658921
I don't care about the graphics, I just want a new 2D Castlevania. OoE was a great game even if the balance was kind of fucked.
>>340661498
Here's a link. Ironically the post is one criticizing Bloodstained for their claim of aiming for GGXrd visuals.

the biggest issue i have is that the lights are such a bright pastely colour yet have absolutley zero effect on the environment. i dont think they're even acting as a light source, and certainly the purple one is not making anything look purple at all.
>>340658921
It could look better but it's not that bad. As long as they have interesting and dynamic monster designs I can ignore the background.
>>340662323
Gomen. I mistakenly linked >>340660743 on "Negative" when I meant to link >>340660847
>>340661172
When the game looks bad I'll call it bad. I backed mighty blunder 9 and that looks like total ass. Bloodstained looks great though.
>>340662381
Yep. The lighting is completely independent from the supposed light sources. It looks like there's a white light being projected on top of everything. They need to change the contrast and it could look five times better.
There will never be a good side scroller this gen as they are designed for LAGGY HD TVs.

Given that this is "/v/ - I hate videogames" it's pretty positive I think.
actually, seeing a REAL Castlevania game with 3D graphics and normal mapping is blowing my mind right now.
BEST thing is that the animations looks nearly 1:1 to the DS games
>>340662529
yeah, if they nail down the lighting, mess with her walk animation a bit and nail down the floaty jumping i'll be 100% pleased. Providing things we havent seen arent trash of course
im not sold on her character design but the 'pure' outfit or whatever it is looks great.
>>340658921
>it looks exactly as I thought it would
>>340662623
>>340662628
This all started because of this retarded post: >>340660141
I was merely answering to it. This is not "most everyone" agreeing that it looks good.
>>340662627
Nice assumptions faggot.
Keep convincing yourself though
>>340658921
I still would've preferred sprites but it looks pretty good.
>>340662692
>and nail down the floaty jumping
This will never happen. IGA is a dirty float-jump-fag. He thinks it looks graceful and appreciates that it makes platforming easier.
>>340658921
has anyone made a youtube video where they compare that video of Bloodstained with similar footage of earlier Castlevania games
I swear, those movements look identical and I'm really happy with it

Looks fine. Just played through SOTN and im super excited for bloodstained.
>>340663146
The MN9 people aren't defending MN9, they're in despair so they shit up other kickstarter threads to get other people to feel bad too.
>>340663226
You realize there will be all sorts of weapons including whips in the game right?
>>340663414
You're just like this stupid faggot >>340662627
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you're the same person.
>>340658921
It looks good though? Specially the outside part wit the rain, my only gripes with the new video is some of the Miriam animation looks wonky and the use of both purple and yellow lights, it should have been or the other.
>>340663619
Pretty sure the purple lights will end up being destructible things for MP hearts for whatever the Bloodstained equivalent will be.
>>340663452

Now we just get NotSoTN: Pandering edition
>>340663136
>tfw i pushed 4 controllers A buttons in doing this in my absurd amount of time playing HoD
>>340662845
I bet you think Zero Mission is the be all, end all for physics, right?
What the actual fuck are people talking about? This looks good. I've played literally hundreds of hours of Circle of the Moon and Symphony of the Night, yet I can find no reason to complain here.
Unless it's the fact that it's not sprites, or she's too big?
This is my fucking problem with /v/. Too many teenage shitters who kneejerk react to things without providing good reasons personal to them, just "IT'S SHIT SFJFHSF COCKS COCKS IN MY MOUTH"
>>340659509
Not that anyone will believe me, or care, of make any difference if they did believe me as we are all anonymous, but I made that original image like 5+ years ago (someone added on "his life" at some point it seems).
>>340663136
>tfw Iga is a Riderfag
>>340663790
Its iga. Why would you ever hope for classicvania with him? I feel your pain though, I miss classicvanias too.
The only that bugs me is that Miriam does move a bit too slow. Then again I guess most of the Castlevaina Iga games were kinda slow too.
Besides Dissonance(Fucking why was it the only game to give a forward dash?)
I don't like how floaty it looks. For the rest it's acceptable. Nowhere as close as the blunder that was Mighty No. 9. That game always looked like shit, even in the prototype.
>>340662679
>BEST thing is that the animations looks nearly 1:1 to the DS games
That's actually my personal biggest gripe, and it also has something to do with why Yooka-Laylee looks like a pile of farts. Both of those games decided to just be the same but with names and faces changed. I would've much rather they be unique games all their own, and instead we have games that'll only be known for their spiritual successor status.
>>340663854
I gave my reasons >>340659195
>>340663848
not him but it should be
>>340664154
that is a billion times better than them looking like shit gameplay wise.
Let the return of those classic games be like the classic games, then the sequels can innovate if they feel like it for all I care
>>340658921
>Bloodstained looks bad

It looks like exactly what I wanted so far
Though we have yet to see enemies/combat

I personally like shitstorms and blunders when they actually happen, but am not retarded to the point of not accepting a game is turning to be good

I knew exactly what I wanted when I threw money at that kickstarter, and it looks like I'm getting just that:
Castlevania

Can you stop this retarded meme? Just because some of us have a different opinion from you doesn't mean we are looking for the next big tortanic.

This fag spamming his TORTANIC bullshit again?
Bloodstained has shown nothing but improvement since day 1 in the graphical department, it looks good and it's still fuckin' pre-alpha
I didn't even back it. Might slackerback though for physical copy.
>>340664283
Too much gravity limiting the acrobatics. Super will always be better.
>mfw people expecting classicvanias from Iga
I like classic and iga castlevanias, I'm glad the game is exactly floaty like the DS games.
>>340664574
Are you samefagging your posts about this retarded TORtanic shit? The fuck does TOR have to do with this game's visuals?
