I'm a big Mega Man fan. Im a big Castlevania fan.
I avoided all MN9 threads so i could play it the way i wanted to

what happend to inafune? bloodstained is the revival of a genre
MN9 is vaginal juice

its only for backers. It is LITERALLY castlevania
no framedrops, no slow downs, no suttering, it was a great experience. Cant wait to play the game.
>>342566948
Demo is PC only, dummy.
Y'all act like Inafune didn't release bad Megaman games when he was still working on megaman at Capcom.
>upgraded pledge to $100 after playing the demo
>wanna upgrade to $150 for the artbook
Somebody stop me, because I'm goin' insane.

I couldn't help myself right off the bat. I like character designs and drawings.
>>342565527
Yeah the attention to detail in just the demo is getting me really excited for the game.
Unfortunately the boss fight looked like a fan creation, which it likely was. Colours were not harmonious, had a demon horn and ridiculous tits.
Hopefully there isn't a shit load of crap like this in the game but other than that it has absoultey massive potential with another whole year of development.
Miriam is cute. CUTE!
>>342570718
I get the hunch that the boss used to be human at some point. I just kind of get that feeling. Just as Miriam's disease covers her body, so did that lady's overtake her.

>>342571194
The last thread was 500 straight posts of shitflinging over the background in Bloodstained.
I'm honestly amazed you fuckers argued in a whole thread over backgrounds.
>>342571220
Anthony Burch is that way --->
Inafune asks for money to make a megaman successor
Then once he get's the money he put's it on the backburner and churns out azure gunvolt which is basically a megaman like game and other games.
Why does nobody else notice this but me?
>>342571281
>The last thread was 500 straight posts of shitflinging over the backgroundhow
Working on that Miriam + guns request some anon had in the last thread celebration of someone finding guns in the weapon category of the games files.
>>342571456
>arguing about colors
sounds about right
The demo was fine, but I feel it takes too many resources for what it is (and I didn't particularly liked 720p being the lowest possible resolution).
I feel those issues will be fixed on the full release, but I'll probably get it for PS4 anyway, so it's not that bad if they don't
>>342571363
the fact that he was already going on about other projects like that pirate penguin game and Ninja Gaiden Zombies Edition before MN9 even had a playable demo was a fucking big red flag.
>>342571496
I only hope that guns are not easy mode like in previous games.
All weapons must have their advantages and disadvantages.
inafune was massively overcredited with "making" Mega Man, which panned out in the disaster that was MN9
>>342565527
Iga actually cares.
>>342571804
>>342565527
Anyone getting sick of talking about MN9 or are you faggots still hungry for another TORtanic. You realize you're never going to get another one, right?
The demo was great, kinda wish I had backed it to get it physically.
>>342572120

No problem, I'm in the same boat as you, I plan on backing at the $125 level in a few paychecks from now
So is there any confirmation on what miriam is? vampire, witch, demon or just a stronger then normal human?
>>342572768
Miriam
Picked up as an orphan by an Alchemist at a young age, she became a host for the dark Alchemists’ curse. Although the magi-crystals were fused with her body at a young age, for 10 years she lay sleeping while the curse matured to its full form. It was during this period that the demons arrived, meaning that she missed their appearance and awoke with a mild form of amnesia, not quite fully understanding what happened to her.
She is a woman of few words but strong of purpose. Her youth is deceiving, making her seem confrontational and quick to judge, though in reality she is constantly evaluating her next step. The pain she felt as an orphaned child fuels her compassionate desire to protect her loved ones and friends.
>>342571717
>The demo was fine, but I feel it takes too many resources for what it is
It definitely does. Between this and MN9, it seems Inti Creates just can't optimize their games worth a damn.
>>342571767
I'm hoping for something like Aria's silver gun to make for challenging gun-only runs. Not like Albus' op dmc gun shit.
Just finished the demo and not sure how to feel
On one hand, it's got everything that I love about the IGA produced castlevanias, it feels good to play, it has fun secrets and collectibles and exploration to do, combat feels right
but on the other hand, it's entirely unimpressive. It's certainly up to snuff but it doesn't do anything that hasn't been done before. It's very safe, and even though it's only a demo and there is still plenty of time for more to be developed, the fact that they wanted to develop a new entry to the genre without having anything to separate it from the rest of the entries is the series is a little discouraging. Even if they add a standout mechanic later down the line, the fact that they haven't had it in mind from the start makes it quite clear that they wanted the money more than to make a great game.
Fingers crossed that this isn't the bottomline for the game, because if it is, it's going to be a middling experience when the genre has been innovating for quite a while since the last castlevania (hell, even Mirror of Fate innovated more than what we've seen of Bloodstained)
>>342573189
The way I see it, is that they are trying to make the game you are used to play, and wanted to keep playing. Feels like the ds castlevanias, that changed little besides small mechanics.
If this goes well, I can see them making new games with more advanced mechanics.
>>342572525
man that fucking knee
>>342572525
Have some sexy instead.
Inafune was never a game designer and still isn't, he was always just the businessman who made things happen. He had his place then, as he was pretty much the one guy making sure Mega Man kept happening, as seen with literally everything Mega Man being canned after his leave. The issue is little to none of the greats from Capcom who made Mega Man great or ensured its quality are at Comcept, let alone the platformer Mega Man games, and Inafune did nothing to ensure the prior quality himself because he was more concerned with the business side trying to make some sort of media giant that was never to be.
IGA as a producer actually takes a standpoint as part of the design and made sure a product was good. And that continues.
>>342570648
But what you posted doesn't have the artbook, though
>>342569117
Oh shit, I can upgrade? I only got the $100 tier because I couldn't afford the artbook one.
Also, got the demo but my computer can't run it. Fuuuuuck.
>>342573427
but that's not the mindset I want developers of games, especially ones funded by the consumers, to have
The greatest games have been made because the creators had something they wanted to do that hadn't been done before. Even every castlevania feels unique, you can tell immediately which one you are playing whether it's 3 or HoD or OOE.
But this is so disparaging, like, "we want to make a buck first and then maybe we'll try something different but that's only if this gets us a lot of dough." It's the same mindset that conman has, and while I don't want to say that this'll be a failure or shit (what we have now is entirely servicable and if it released as it is now just with all the content it was going to have, I'd be fine with it, it just wouldn't be anywhere close to the top of the pack) and I'm not going to say that it's sickening that they think like this, but it's still kind of disheartening that they think they can come out with the same ol' and expect it to blow us away
>>342567058
>Backdashes and hop-slashes are still optimal play
Fucking love it.
>>342570965
>>342574028
The best.
>>342574203
What did you do to get the third slash out?
>>342574203
>>342573968
MN9 plays a lot differently than both MM and MMX games though, so Conman was at least trying to do something new. Bloodstained is just an AoS rehash.
>>342573968
That's not how you get funding though.
If you're being fully funded by fans you have to give the fans what they want first, then use that success and trust for your next project.
See: Divinity:OS 1/2
>>342574319
>>342573968
I haven't seen anything from the other available characters so they might have a trick or two to spice up the game with its own flavor.
>>342572080
>elder scrolls online
>battleborn
>>342574501
>>342573189
Well it is something they just threw together for E3 but even if it's just another Aria of Sorrow I'm totally fine with that.
>>342574514
If the main thing that separates this game is the alternate characters, then they better be the main focus and damn fun to play rather than a tacked on alt mode like Richter mode or axe armor mode
Post yfw boss has HUGE tits
>>342573189
So far it's everything I wanted. I didn't really care for any new mechanics so long as it's a solid title.
>>342573189
>the fact that they haven't had it in mind from the start makes it quite clear that they wanted the money more than to make a great game.
Sure anon, whatever you say. Innovation is not synonymous with a good game. They expanded the souls system to include directional attacks and being able to have familiars out too, that's good enough for me
>>342574797
>>342574895
I said as much but I'd appreciate it if it was even the slightest bit ambitious. As it is now, it's more like an HD remake of a romhack than it is a standalone game
>>342575019
>As it is now, it's more like an HD remake of a romhack than it is a standalone game
You just keep getting more and more shitposty, don't you?
>>342575019
I can speak for myself only, but the fact that this game is basically SOTN 2 makes my dick rock solid.
Also to adding something, if it put in something "ambitious" which quite frankly I can't think of anything, but I feel like I would just end up thinking man I really loved this game because it's like SOTN.... except for that one thing they added
>>342575019
It's the first game in a new potential series. They want to make sure the game plays good to where people will buy it. We don't want another MN9
>>342574791
And if the gimmick the characters have is hated the game would be fucking torn apart before it got out of the gate. Appeal to fans first with what they're familiar with, then ease them into different things. If they like it add those as key features in the next outing, if not forget it.
>>342574935
You could already have familiars out and some directional attacks have already existed since SotN, although not 360 degrees but that's because this is the first game in the series* (I know not technically but you get what I mean) to use a controller that supports 360 degree input (and please nobody count THAT as a point towards innovation)
>>342575203
This exactly is what I was talking about when posting this >>342575131
>>342574580
>Both games that didn't have anywhere near the hype of SWTOR.
>>342575107
It's a fair comparison, asswipe, and as people, myself included have already said, it's fine as it is, I'm just saying what more I wish for
>>342574317
jump
attack
(attack is cancelled by landing)
attack
backdash (cancels last attack)
attack
Also, you can't attack after a backdash->attack unless you duck inbetween the backdashes, although that's not very hard.
>>342565527
>Not liking vaginal juices.
Are you gay?
Also, Bloodstained backers on suicide watch.
>>342573828
Yes it does.
>>342574420
I want to deflower Miriam...
>>342575496
Yeah, I meant that's not the picture you posted. That's why it was confusing. The $100 tier has no artbook.
>>342575442
Aaaaah, the backdash cancel still works with the land attack. Nice.
>>342573968
Okay that's cool and all, but most of those consumers funding them wanted this in the first place. People didn't throw 5 million dollars at them to make something new and innovative, they threw five million dollars at them to make more of the games they loved eight years ago. Another Symphony of the Night, or Aria of Sorrow.
When the time comes and they start talking about Bloodstained 2, then I'll hope for something a little more fresh, but for now I want my goddamn fix in the purest form.
>>342565527
>I'm a big Mega Man fan. Im a big Castlevania fan.

So is she going to get the horns in game or what?
>>342576046
It's also coming to Xbone, PS4, WiiU and Vita.
Glad to hear that this is shaping up. I'll try the demo and pledge some amount if I like it.
Why do they tiers seem so odd? $28, then 60? What happened to $5, $10, $20, $50, or pledge what you want?
>>342576235
Those aren't horns, it's a circlet. Your headgear actually changes based on what you have equipped and the circlet is your default.
>>342576235
I think it's a headress
>>342575475
Being straight doesn't make it taste better
Wait, what? You can still back this?
How would backers feel if it had a dash to absorb mechanic like mn9?
I personally would be annoyed with it being the focus but I think a system like that would suit metroidvania style more as long as it's not necessary to kill them. I'd imagine something like that would be every speed runners wet dream?
Inafune is not the reason why the MM games were good, dipshit.
>>342574320
There's literally nothing wrong with Bloodstained playing like the old games, it's exactly what Iga promised he'd do and what people wanted.
>>342576358
Everthing looks fucking great except the face.
>>342575409
I'm not cuz we already got MN9 that had some gameplay element crammed down its throat that didn't improve gameplay at all.
>>342576518
Kamiya was right.
>>342576358
>headdress
I DO NOT LIKE THIS
>>342574319
Say what you will about Bloodstained, but that shard animation alone looks more stylish than literally anything in Mighty Number 9.
>>342576379
It isn't relevant how it taste.Your mum have swallowed worst things.
>>342574420
Now just edit this to have her transforming into Inafune and we're golden.
There's a backer in the credits that say: Kamiya was right.
reminder that the extra backer boss will be dracula
Is the shard system like A/DoS soul system?
>>342576501
The MMX series already had dashing and dash jumping so MN9's infinite air dashing and dash-to-absorb mechanic felt like a natural progression whereas there really isn't a precedent like that in the Castlevania series. Harmony of Dissonance did have forward dashing but the people who like that game are in the minority.
>>342576325
You can't pledge $5 as support anymore because the kicksrsrter is over. This is literally pre-ordering.
>>342577150
Yes, but it adds a slot for familiars.
>>342577150
Yeah, only now you have five slots instead of three. You can only get three types in the demo.
>Trigger (Subweapon)
>Effect (???)
>Directional (Aimed attack)
>Enchant (Stat Booster)
>Familiar (A fucking familiar)

Is it still possible to back the gsme then?

>>342580450
I don't know, did they?
>>342574028
>>342574203
I do love the hopslashes and backdashes, but I do think they should add a small little cooldown to the backdash though to avoid players abusing it.
But at the same time, perhaps it'd be good to leave it the way it is for speedrunners so they can do some fun, crazy shit.
>>342580450
>>342580627
The extra backer boss is Iga.

>what happened
inafune was always a hack.
>>342571717
>>342573031
Your PCs are shit.
>>342565527
They planned for way more than they could handle with the stretch goal hype, they tried to play on people's emotions too much and appeal to everyone to get as far as they could and it bit them in the ass.
Then they had the bright idea of putting amateurs in the most important roles, like the director no one ever hears from who had some minor design role in Star Force 2, 3, and Operate Shooting Star and that's it. People who had no experience in 2D platformers/action games, the experienced developers on the team didn't have as big of a role as you would've expected and mostly haven't done much of anything in years. I think it was Inafune's idea in the first place to have new people to try to push a "new" kind of Mega Man style game but to put your hopes on that working was risky and stupid with all the other problems they were making for themselves.
The anime and all the extra shit probably have nothing to do with the quality really, there were signs since the beginning that it would turn out bad but they were riding the hate for Capcom so hard that no one would've noticed. It's basically all Comcept's fault, meanwhile Bloodstained is Iga working directly with Inti Creates and they're doing a way better job. They know what people want and they're simply delivering that without any extra bullshit.

>>342570718
Careful though. It's easy for a studio to put a lot of detail into a demo. This is a marketing tool just like anything else pre-release.
I do think it plays and feels very good. It's exactly the sort of game play that I've been missing in my life.

Because it's an Inti Creates game, not an Inafune game. It's also pretty different from Mega Man.
the demo is a legit 9/10
i'm amazed by the boss' design/animations
I kinda wish they kept the game looking like this, which looks a lot better than we got.
