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.

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

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.

I had solid framerate, but once in a while the whole game freezed for a couple of seconds

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.

The demo felt pretty solid, the controls were nice and on point and I had pretty fun with it.

>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.

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.

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

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

Its a pretty early build of the game and is not optimized really at all yet.

It's UE4 and the game has no optimization since it's not even 20% finished yet. So calling it a pre-alpha works.

>>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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not him but that just a promise.

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).

>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.

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.

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.

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.

No vampire elements this time. Just good ol' fashioned alchemy.

However, any other mythological/religious elements are fair game. I am kind of really looking forward for how they are going to explai Miriam's familiar, the floating armor.

And just by judging by the first boss, there will be female enemies. Although I am not sure if they are going to follow the book of Solomon to the letter. Some of the demons in there make no sense. They are going to need to redesign th whole lot of them.

I disagreement.
Alucard had smooth transition but it still was faster. I knew that if I press left and immediately backdash - I will backdash on the right with no issues.
In Bloodstained I have to take into account slowe transition and wait a bit

it is annoying

>>342496756
They're already doing that if you paid for the $60+ tiers.

Maybe not in a Dracula outfit, but Iga as a extra boss has been confirmed for long time as backer only reward.
>>
>>342496756
So long as they stay away from the Castlevania Dracula attacks (Raise cape and shoot fire balls), it should be cool with everybody.

Maybe Iga using a whip or something. There is no copyright about using a whip, right?

What the fuck was the point of butchering an already established engine and game mechanics in favor of shittier quality overall?

I had such high hopes for the sequel and then they delivered some crap that was supposed to appeal to a broader audience and the console market in general.
Needless to say neither their old fans nor their "new audience" liked the game.

I'm not really a fan of the art style either, it kind of looks cheap and everything looks like they are too round-ish ,everything looks "bubbly", it all looks very cartoony and weird for me. I'm willing to overlook the artstyle because the game feels great to play so far and it will only get better gameplay wise hopefully. If this does well and Iga continues to make more new metroidvania I hope he invests in a proper concept artist and art department, not necessarily Kojima but some one that does Gothic art or something.

Hardly unusual around here, especially in drawfag threads, lots of people are sentimental about games, though I suppose you're referring to people being blinded by it in this case.

Clichés does not make something cringe, it's generally the execution that makes things cringe, either by doing something that's completely uncharacteristic for the character, inexperience, naivety or a combination of the three usually.

This is why I fucking asked you faggots what's cringe, because you faggots don't know what the fuck you're talking about. The biggest problem with the comic is the dialogue, not the clichés being used.
>>
>>342507828
It's an E3 demo, E3 demos generally are made easier so that people can get through them and experience the whole game. Gotta remember there tends to be a fuckton of people waiting in line.

That's not to say it's certain it'll be made harder in the final product, but something to at least consider. It'd be nice with a difficulty setting at least.

Just finished it. It was easy, yeah, but that's probably because it was either the first level or purposely made less difficult because it was an E3 demo. Or maybe both.

I'm gonna be honest, if they're able to keep the quality that was in the demo throughout the whole game and if they're able to keep their stretch goal promises, I think this'll be the best Kickstarter game by far.

I was skeptical at first, when there wasn't even a 3D model shown on their Kickstarter, but I'm pretty hyped now. Am I falling into a trap, or is it a safe bet?

Just beat the demo.

Gameplay wise it felt like any other IGAvania and reminded me why we got lords of shadow because all of his games feel the exact same. Granted, it's a demo so maybe the actual game will introduce tons of cool new stuff instead of just jump canceling sword slashes while walking down empty hallways and occasionally spaming magic attacks.

More importantly the games visuals and sound don't have the "feel" of a castlevania game, which is a pretty big deal given that this game is blatantly trying to be a sequel to those games. Something about the asthetic just doesn't feel right.

overall this didn't completely ruin my intest in playing this game but I'm also not any more unexcited then I was before. I'll probably end up pirating it if only because there's tons of kickstarter backer exclusive content and fuck that shit.
>>
so how good is this exactly?

I was toying with the idea of backing Bloodstained when it was on kickstarter.

I wasn't expecting much from a short demo build, but it seems like people are genuinely pleased with it.

Nope, still getting the same shit unfortunately.

The mechanics are in place, friend. Thats a proof of quality already.
>>
>>342513902
I think it shows that they mean what they say when they talk about working on graphics and stuff cause they arent done. With MN9 they kept saying how good it was and never seemed to be honest about it not looking like it should.

With Bloodstained they've constantly said they are far from the final product.
>>
>>342514521
jesus christ

forget I ever replied
>>
>>342514415
Okay, try to copy the 64bit file into the following directories:

1. where Bloodstained.exe is located
2. where ..\RON\Binaries\Win64\ where RON-Win64-Shipping.exe

Start the game. If won't work, try to replace with 32bit one (system32 and syswow64 accrodingly)

Sometimes it is pretty picky.

Should work on that cynicism though.

get your mum to buy you a cheap 360 controller
>>
>>342515013
Then either get a gamepad or stop whining and wait until the full game releases
>>
>>342515013
A controller is the superior input scheme for almost every genre sans shooters and rts you fucking cuck
>>
>>342516007
I'm not buying a fucking controller for a demo

My point is they released the demo on PC. It should be accesible to PC players first and foremost, Most people do not have gamepads jsut lying around for this kind of thing.

Its fucking dumb.

I'm glad the music is at least good. The melody is currently stuck in my head.

>>342516125
Most PC gamers actually do have controllers lying around.

I figured out the advanced tech that you can short jump attack and it auto cancels when you hit the ground
that shit was supremely satisfying for some reason

They do if they're expecting to play a metroidvania, you silly fucking goose
have you even played a castlevania game in your life?
>>
>>342513840
WASD to move,spacebar to jump,click to attack

rest of the buttons are on the ZXCCVB

not sure if NM is used
>>
>>342516125
Most people that play games on PC with any amount of frequency do have controllers. If you don't have a controller that you can plug into your PC and play with, you might as well not even own a gaming capable PC.
>>
>>342516458
Granted, they may have a controller, but not the right ones. I know the Xbox controllers work flawlessly, but what about PS4?
What about the Nintendo fags?
>>
>>342516354
Then go download JoyToKey or antimicro or some shit.

I mean they're pretty common controls for PC gaming anyways.

DS4Tool

SOMEONE PLEASE POST KUNG-FU SHOES AND OTHER FOOTWEAR IN THE DEMO

>PS4
Yeah, InputMapper makes the PC treat it like it's a 360 controller. Just plug that shit in and play.
>>
>>342516590
I've never had a problem with my PS4 controller, just plug it in and it works. Otherwise just use DS4Tool if you do.

I'm a primary console gamer and I have some kind of adapter for PC to use controllers.

LISTEN ASSHOLES.

I backed for a PS4 copy. P-S-4. I have controllers and shit, but NOT for PC. I don't use this hunk of junk for anything but browsing and typing papers. its a LAPTOP not once of your fancy shancy MUSTARD RICE rigs. FUCKING CHILL.

I enjoyed MN9 and even I agree.

Fanart killed MN9.

>>342517176
ah so you're just too stupid to know how to plug and use a dual shock 4 on a pc, my bad
>>
>>342515296
Yeah it is super weird.
Okay, let's start from basics:

1. Did you update DirectX from latest redist (full redist)?
2. Do you have VC++ redist 2010, 2012 and 2014 installed? BOTH x32 and x64 because you still need x32

way too easy, just mash anything mindlessly really

>>342507909
The game let us down.

Reflecting on the hopes we built using MN9 as the foundation makes us cringe with self-loathing.
>>
>>342517176
You stupid motherfucker. Literally plug it in with the charging cable. For Christ's sake.
>>
>>342517176
>P-S-4. I have controllers and shit, but NOT for PC
Are you really so oblivious that you didn't think once there'd be a workaround to use a ps4 controller for your PC

Won't work. My USB ports and SD card are shot. Can't plug in anything like that.

You think it'd be possible to mod porn into the game? Maybe start with a nude mod that removes the clothes when you take off the tunic.

>>342518130
Probably.

>>342517523
Yep on both of them.

I played it a while ago and I believe I did minor damage as I slid into a monster. Could have just been some jump canceling attack or something though.
