Will Bloodstained become just as much of a blunder Mighty No. 9 was? Did the demo prove otherwise?
>>343351418
>miriam's face when not manlet
>>343351418
I honestly don't know why people are saying Bloodstained looks good. It looks slow and uninspired.
>>343351694
>slow
Castlevania-likes are about exploration, not speed
>uninspired
It's inspired by Castlevania.

>>343351694
Maybe Symphony of the Night was the same then, given how everyone wants the game to emulate it.
>>343351418
I don't think it'll be that big of a hit but I think it'll at least be a good game
>>343351418
It already looks better than Mighty No. 9.
>>343351694
Literally every Castlevania Iga worked on except for Harmony of Dissonance starts out slow with improved movement and faster skills coming later.
>>343351418
Nothing will be as much of a blunder as MN9.
That said, Bloodstained is shaping up to be average-mediocre.
The demo proved it will outdo MN9. The 16 minutes I spent playing the demo provided me with more entertainment than playing an hour of the completed Mighty No 9
>>343351418
The demo proved otherwise. It's pretty fun so far.
![mockup_by_kradakor-d9jkjgj[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/jysl77d.png "mockup_by_kradakor-d9jkjgj[1].png")
Maybe if it wasn't 3D, people would of been okay with it more.
>>343351694

If anything it's too fast. There's not enough recovery on backdashes.
When is Alucard coming back?
>>343351956
Someone described the design of the project as two parts Symphony of the Night, one part Aria/Dawn of Sorrow, and one part Order of Ecclesia.

Power absorption.
The gameplay felt pretty good for an alpha.
The graphics on the backgrounds look bad, but this has already been discussed to death.

>>343357108
Is it really that bad?
>>343356986
That seems strange. The power absorption seems to be more in line with AoS/DoS than OoE. You don't have to hold up to absorb or some nonsense like that. Soul comes out, Soul goes in.
So yeah, two parts SoTN, one part AoS/DoS seems more like the ticket.
>>343358126
I think what this game deserves is a revamp on some of the gameplay. Why not have a 3rd dimension to the exploration like in this pic?>>343358718
>>343354963
>>343356986
The real part is the cute lady with a nice back.
>>343358718
I'd say it's improved a lot since then, even the update right afterward was a lot better.
>>343359080
There's no 3D exploration there. All you'd do is run forward and jump up on that ledge where the railing is missing.
>>343351418
No and yes.
Bloodstained looks better than MN9 already, with just an alpha out.
This is the difference between a creator and a business man making a game.
>>343358126
>>343353918
Maybe she got some tips from Juste Belmont
>>343351418
Apparently the backers are enjoying the demo, so it's already doing way better than Mighty No. 9.
Yooka-Laylee looks good, Bloodstained looks good, it would appear Mighty No. 9 is the anomaly in terms of fuckups.
Would it be wrong to assume people are smarter about Kickstarters now, and the really bad ones are pretty mostly from the original Kickstarter boom, where people were naive and easier to be fooled compared to now?
Also, where can a non-backer get the demo?
>>343358126
I can wait to buy it if it's good.
Not backing is never a bad thing for Kickstarter games.

Unfortunately, you do miss out on Backer exclusive items and areas. There's even a boss fight you will miss.You fight Iga, so nothing special
The Bloodstained Kickstarter closing stream was comfy as fuck.
It had drunk IGA and Ben Judd yelling "Die monster!" and "Objection!" at each other constantly, whipping candles, and Bismarck Kappa III. It had the rush of raising a million dollars in the last hour. It was fantastic.
I truly feel sorry for anyone who wasn't a part of the campaign.
>>343360371
You know we'll get that modded in within a day, though.
>>343359910
You can still back the game to get it before July 5th I believe. Otherwise, I'm sure a lurking anon has a demon on hand.
>>343360371

>>343361395
Castlevania Judgement was pretty fucking bad and ultimately what killed his career at Konami. But it was also a fighting game and not at all the kind of game he or his team were used to working on, so it's not really applicable here.
>>343361735
>2008
Man, it's eight years old already?
>>343361735
I don't think he ever misrepresented what it was, though. We knew about the art style and the character designs from the start. We knew it was a fighting game. He made a bad game, it happens. He never tried to claim it was something that it wasn't.
>>343361735I actually liked Judgement and thought it was decent aside from character designs.I would kill someone to get it at an Evo, I want to see high-level play of it.
How come Bloodstained is looking much better than Mighty No 9 if it's made by the same company?

It's a good thing my Shantae isn't grouped with those rejects.

Iga has worked within tight budgets in the past, forges swords and hunts monsters professionally.

>>343362762
The budget for Bloodstained isn't even terribly tight. Iga has a publisher that pledged to match whatever the Kickstarter raised. He'll probably end up with a 10-12m budget or so.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/n8KiKKE.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>343363148
It certainly isn't looking like a 12m budget game as of now... though I have no idea how long these things take from the ground up.
>>343362976
I was thinking about it. Thinking of doing the dinner with Ifa thing. Problem is, it didn't include airfare or accommodation, so it probably would've wound up being like 20k.
>>343363148
He was planning to secure ~$5m in outside funding if the $500k Kickstarter was successful. He got $5.5m from KS, effectively doubling his original budget.
>>343361089
Meanwhile guy with a shit eating grin delivers.
>>343351418
Mighty No. 9 is not indicative of every crowdfunded game ever.
It looks fine. Yooka-Laylee looks great. Shantae looks great.

Ini-Creates both part of the same team.
>>343364129
>These two games that aren't out prove crowd funding is great
>>343364129
Holy fuck, this.
Every Kickstarter game is not MN9, /v/. That's like saying that all restaurants are bad because you got food poisoning at a restaurant once.
Why is /v/ so autistic when it comes to crowdfunding?
>>343364326
>this one game that flopped proves crowdfunding is awful
See? I can do that too.
>>343361735
I don't really blame him for that. Konami wanted a quick Wii cash in, and came to his team to make it, not the other way around.
What kickstarter proved is that Inafune is literally a liar and a con man.
Fuck that dude, seriously.
>>343365145
This, and it was retarded. Castlevania was always niche. People who played them by and large weren't likely to play fighting games. It was a bad idea on Konami's part, and in true Japanese fashion, they through Iga under the bus.

>>343353807
I'd much prefer it.
>>343365665
It's just a longer version of the demo. I think people expected a huge campaign and "real" graphics, not proof of concept stuff that was carried into the final game. But they didn't say it would be anything more than just a longer version of the demo so I'm fine with it.
I wonder how much of mythos will be in this game, with all the holy and demonic things.

>>343365348
>Castlevania was always niche.
Mainstream during the 8-16 bit eras. Niche after that.
They should have just made something that made use of the motion controller.
>>343366882
Ironically they did make a game all about motion controls. And then made it exclusive to arcades. It was basically something like Dragon Quest Swords, but with the option to use a whip or magic.

So I imagine the christian elements will be in there as well. They stated that the game is also set during the Industrial Revolution, which can bring all kinds of source material with events surrounding that time period.

>>343367167
>They stated that the game is also set during the Industrial Revolution
Yeah, essentially what sets everything in motion is the Alchemist's Guild seeing that everyone's begun to put their faith in science and technology helping the world, so they plan to unleash the demons of hell and the crystal curse onto the world to prove that they're still needed. It backfires when they use Gebel as a vessel for the curse and he kills all of them in retaliation, except for Johannes who'd already left the Guild as he disagreed with the plan.
>>343367491
THANK YOU IGA MAN
Remember to fill out your surveys!
Wasn't David Hayter going to voice someone in this game?
That aside, if they just fine tune it a little, I can tell it's going to be at the least good, if not fantastic. Hopefully they give it 200percent, because if this does well, then they could easily go on to do sequels, or other projects. Unlike Inafune who will now have a hard time convincing people to trust him, god I can't imagine how that legends successor is going to turn out, I want to hope well for it.
>>343354395
Goddamn, I'm surprised somebody remembered that post.

I want to know how many staff members are returning. Since Konami fired everyone, Iga could potentially create an all-star list of people who worked on the handheld titles. I know Shutaro Iida is returning.
But we need to remember that just because a few return, doesn't mean anything. MN9 had a bunch of "Mega Man Veterans", but they were all artists and composers. Plus Ini-Creates is pretty mediocre and only make good games when they have talented people running them. They're only good for grunt work.
>>343367843
>Wasn't David Hayter going to voice someone in this game?
Yes, he provides a voice. Someone probably suggested him to get Hayter fans on board. I don't really mind. It's nice that Hayter gets another paycheck.

What gets me excited is how will Miriam respond to all this. I hope her character isn't as bland as other main characters like Soma, who was just in it for the ride and didn't have much development.

When I was a young man, I liked fable alot. When I heard about the release of fable 2 with a bunch of extras I pre-ordered it months in advance because they promised swag box and a hobby figurine.
They removed almost all of the extra stuff like a month before launch, including the hobby figurine.
The worst part was on the extras
DVD, there was a slideshow of the figurine in different places with the tagline "send us a picture of your figurine!"
Let's just say I'm happy that studio is gone now.

Did IGA work on Harmony of Despair? is the game any good? I don't much people talking about it.
This dev update was from April 1st.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLpMwEAiw7Q
Comparing it to the demo, I think the game is progressing nicely.
>>343374951
He was the producer. I don't know if it was good or not. It's basically a spinoff with multiple characters from his games featured in it.
>>343374951
It was alright. It was kind of a Monster Hunter-ish boss grinding game that played like a SotN/DS Castlevanias.
It also had a pvp mode and it was probably the most hilariously broken competitive game I've ever played.

>>343374951
He was producer. One of Iga's usual team members, Shutaro Iida, who worked on just about every GBA and DS Castlevania as well as Metal Gear Solid V as an enemy programmer, directed it. Iida's was also a scenario writer for Portrait of Ruin, and is currently working on Bloodstained.
>>343376094
Not even remotely the same situation you stupid faggot.
>>343363275
>>343363148
why do people imply that the budget will go to GRAPHIX?? buying Hd texture is expensive???
most of the money goes to the extra features. ports. etc.
>>343376094
Most people that like castlevania also like metroid. With Iga we get it that he was forced by konami to milk the series doing that spinoff because looking at his previous works it's obvious a fighting games aren't his expertise. Sakamoto decided to take the main franchise in a diferent angle even when he already knew Samus isn't supposed to act like that, that's on him.
>>343367491
THANK YOU IGA MAN
>>343376557
The thing is that it really wouldn't require that much budget to have pretty art. Maybe some more for optimization but overall the budget will hopefully go to content. A 2.5D side scroller doesn't need a lot of neat little technologys, just tons of awesome and interesting content. Hopefully a masterpiece story too, but we will see.
>>343376748
from the budget I expect bigger games, with less bugs or technical flaw, not better looking, graphix were, are, and will be a mistake
>>343376256
I forget what Iida's focus on Bloodstain is. I know that IGA is doing the scenario writing and most of the initial designs and concepts.
Even if Bloodstained fails its fail will not anywhere near the level of Mighty No. 9.
Mighty No. 2 will be really hard to top as Kickstarter fails go.
>>343376905
The kickstarter update where they announced his involvement made it seem like he's working as a planner and senior programmer this time around. Supervising the team while also working on some enemies and secrets of his own.
>>343376683

Nigga the pussification of Samus wasn't even half the issues. I don't have that image detailing a lot of the garbage that made it bad, but he fucking butchered EVERYTHING that made Metroid awesome. He basically just took Super Metroid, added a bunch of shitty Japanese tropes and cliches in as a "story", which in turn forced the gameplay to be completely linear to follow this ridiculous story.
So yes, he destroyed Samus and her character, added a bunch of niggers no one gives a fuck about and had one of the most pathetic stories in recent gaming, but that's not why we hate it. If it had Super Metroid-tier exploration, atmosphere and subtleness, we could have maybe forgiven it and not accuse it of being irredeemable garbage. But no, Sakamoto took a beautiful thing that many loved and wasted and entire team's time and a ton of Nintendo's money to make her into his goddamn waifu and let his 3 year old son write the plot.
Fucking shit, this ain't even a Metroid thread. I have high hopes for Bloodstained. To me it's everything I'd expect it to be right now. Let's hope it keeps improving and headed down the right path.

>>343377323
>>343376683
My point was just that Metroid fans tend to throw out Sakamoto's good work after one (admittedly colossally shitty) game a lot quicker. Suffice it to say, I agree with all your points on the game, just, y'know, if he was making a new 2D game that looked like ZM or Fusion, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.
Didn't mean to do an Other M derail, sorry.
>>343378293
I'm not really sure Sakamoto even knows Metroid too well anymore. When he saw Samus in the gravity suit, he asked why she was purple.
I don't think Iga is that retarded, so we might have a good game here.
>>343378293
If you haven't noticed, Iga tends to get a lot of flack too for his tenure on the series in general. Mostly from Classicvania fans.
I never played Other M because
>buying a Nintendo console
but man, I'm so curious about how much of a shit fest it is.
>>343377323
I hate how people blame Team Ninja for Other M when it was made clear by an Iwata Asks and various developer interviews that Sakamoto was responsible for pretty much everything shit about the game. He wrote the story, he made them use the sideways wiimote control scheme, he forced the first person missiles and pixel hunts, he chose the bottle ship setting, he forced the linear story driven structure. The only thing Team Ninja can be blamed for is the combat, which wasn't even that bad and could have been worked into something great if they didn't have to use such a retardedly limited control scheme.

It was either that, or make nothing but mobile.

The unfortunate thing is that Red Ash is still happening thanks to Fuze, and it seems like Inafune and Deep Silver are both working to force Mighty No. 9 II through despite the game's poor reception and arguable failure.
>>343379204
Elaborate, because that makes zero sense. I seriously doubt they were the ones to decide to make it a 3D game, and the fact that it was 3D was one of the few things about the game that wasn't a problem.

THANK YOU IGA MAN

I liked it eventually but it has a very slow start.
>>343379998
It's a good game, but I think it gets pretty highly overrated here by the "difficulty = good" crowd. It has probably the worst level design of any of the handheld Castlevanias, and the quest system just isn't very fun thanks to the weird drop rates for everything.

I have no idea how you could get to his age without trying Mac & Cheese.

It happens, I was 30 before I had Broccoli the first time, boy did I miss out.
>>343380270
He's Japanese. He probably wonders how some people have never had miso soup or some shit.
>>343380270
Apparently it's not really a thing in Japan.

My second favorite handheld Metroidvania, third favorite overall. Only SotN and CotM are better IMO. I actually really liked having areas outside of the castle as it reminded me of Simon's Quest, a game apparently no one likes except me.
>>343356069
Iga is cute.
>>343379998
I like it. It's my favorite DS one.

Take Blunder Number 9 out of that picture and replace him with someone else.
It's best if he's just forgotten.
>>343380612
Shovel Knight seems appropriate
>>343380925
Of course he does, Miriam helped him get jacked.

It feels like the freshest and most interesting out of the DS games. Dawn is a snoozefest that doesn't live up to Aria. Portrait is whatever.
However, the low budget really shows. At only 500,000 it's a bit rushed and unpolished. Level design is often just straight lines.
>>343360467
Unless you plan to do it yourself, don't be so delusional
>>343381295
Portrait is fun and has the best music of the DS Castlevanias.
What sucks of PoR is the character design, it's just awful.

>Will Bloodstained become just as much of a blunder Mighty No. 9 was
No, I had more fun with the 10 minute demo of Bloodstained than I had with the whole of my pirated MN9 copy.
>Did the demo prove otherwise?
Yes, at the VERY least it will still look and play like Castlevania so it can't be that shit.
>>343379158
>sequel confirmed
Wait, when was Bloodstained 2 confirmed?
>>343385284
It wasn't, he's projecting out of his ass. But if they keep the plan of making 5~10M dollaroos games to sale on 30 bucks, I think they can manage to get a few more out there.
God knows I want that
>>343385675
To be clear, Iga did say that given the opportunity, he wants to turn Bloodstained into a full-fledged franchise. If this game does well enough, it will only be the beginning.
>>343385756
Yes, but pretty much everyone says that. And again, I want this to roll a bigger franchise in the future, but so far no official confirmation of a new game in the works.
And while I supported the campaign with all my heart, for the love of god, I hope they don't use crowfunding for the next project.
It already fulfilled the purpose of showing there is interest in the market for a game like this.
>>343385756
Which is another difference between Iga and Inafune. Iga knows you need a solid and successful game before you start building out the franchise. Inafune tried to build the franchise first without the solid game required to establish it.

>Inafune tried to build the franchise first without the solid game required to establish it.
Or even without a solid game at all.
