Now that MN9 turned into a disaster, are you scared the same might happen with Bloodstained?
>>343438593
No. The demo felt exactly like an IGAvania.
No, because of >>343440078
Not really. IGA seems to be actively involved in the game's production.
Inafune seems more like he attached his name on the project and went off to run another scam.
That, and I'm sure IGA cares more about the game first rather than making a media empire.
>>343440882
>>343440078
>slow
>easy
>endless supply of health
>floaty jumps
So yeah, like an "Iga-Vania"
>>343440078
This.
Faggots have been whining that it doesn't look like a 5/10 mirrion dorra game, but frankly I don't give a shit when gameplay, design and content are what matters in Metroidvania.
CotM was kind of ugly but it's still a fucking great game. Worst case scenario, Bloodstained turns out like HoD, which is still good enough in my book.
>>343441462
Yes, and?
can anyone post the demo MEGA link?
>>343441462
If you don't like igavanias then too bad
>>343441067
Inafune made the design of Beck, and an outline of the story. Then he left and let others to the rest. He's the CEO of Comcept so he has to run the company, and has to work on all the other projects that Comcept has worked on (Soul Sacrifice, ReCore, Red Ash, etc). He was juggling multiple projects at once.
In contrast, Iga is just a producer who no delusions of creating a new company. He's just working on this one game and giving it 100% of his attention.
>>343441462
>slow
it's the same, but 16:9 instead of 4:3
Seems good to me.
It's going to be a mediocre, shameless rehash at best.
Just replay Circle of the Moon instead.
>>343441636
>can anyone post the demo MEGA link?
Oy vey goyim. That would be piracy. That is only meant for those who contributed 60 dollars or more to the kickstarter. To steal the demo without paying for it is no better than breaking into Iga's house, and stealing money from his safe. Have you no shame? Do you think Dev's time and hard work has no value?
>>343441845
>COTM
>good
>>343441845
Yeah why play a game in 4k and 60 fps when I can play an awkward gameboy game at a microresolution and a dot matrix black and green screen?
Sounds neat.

Best Metroidvania.
PROVE ME WRONG.

((((((((You))))))))
Ranking the Metroid-Vanias:
1. Aria of Sorrow
2. Symphony of the Night
3. Order of Ecclessia
4. Circle of the Moon
5. Dawn of Sorrow
6. Portrait of Ruin
7. Harmony of Dissonance
>>343442541
The Sorrows are fucking shit, you pleb.
The demo was pretty good so no not at all no matter how much you try to force it
>>343442541
>>343438593
the game looks good and the datamined items in the game looks great however the game looks very bland visually in the same vein of the rondo of blood of psp i will play the game and im not dissapointed with the game per se but this is a 10 millon release valdis story and ori cost less than that and visually looked better
>>343442609
Aria is great. Fast, great music, great level design. It feels like the true successor to Symphony.
Dawn feels lifeless and boring by contrast.
>>343441735
I like that idle animation.
Gameplaywise it feels like a Metroidvania
Graphicswise it looks like shit
>>343442906

Miriam and the monsters look good. The boss is a technicolor mess. The backgrounds are washed out . Needs more lighting and contrast.
>>343443070
>No Con Man option
>>343443070
Who the fuck cares, MM is for autists who choose one blue turd instead of the other - Sonic.
>>343438593
Not really. In the worst case scenario the complete package may end up somewhat underwhelming. But considering that the alpha demo alone is already more enjoyable than Mighty Number 9, and feels great to play. I am that worried.
If they were to just make something like the demo but much, much larger. I would play that to completion for hours and hours days on end. They have to screw something up royally to make it much more of a chore and or less enjoyable than the demo for me to be worried. But that just doesn't seem likely to me.
Things can only improve from here it feels like.
>>343443815
>But considering that the alpha demo alone is already more enjoyable than Mighty Number 9,
That's hardly a feat.
>>343442541
Dawn of Sorrow > Aria of Sorrow > Order of Ecclessia > Symphony of the Night > Portrait of Ruin > Circle of the Moon > Harmony of Dissonance
I have to admit that DoS is feels slower than AoS and that has more sludge to power through. But I still feel like DoS built itself up better than pretty much any other Castlevania game.
>I won't get conned again!
>Oh look another kickstarter from a producer from a series I liked. I'll back this!

The cycle repeats.
>>343443151
Agreed
Posting this out of the way early.
I wish it would stop this thread from having 300+ replies but it won't.
>>343443151
That doesn't look good with the current background style though. They should have opted for lower detail stylized backgrounds if they wanted contrast+color, detailed textures look like ass if you go nuts with the vibrance.
>>343444682
Fix what? The demo is great, just needs some polish and new music.
The unfinished as fuck alpha already looks better than MN9.
>>343441735
Is she supposed to be wearing spats? Or did they just not model her underwear properly?
>>343441845
>Implying I don't do that regularly already
I need more to add to the list, I'll take Bloodstained for that reason alone.
>>343444757
Everyone with a right mindset knew Might No. 9 was gonna suck.
Yooka-Laylee actually has the original BK team.
I'm on the fence about Bloodstained.
>>343442609
Why?
>>343444892
>They should have opted for lower detail stylized backgrounds if they wanted contrast+color
That's exactly what they should do.
>>343441462
Yes exactly.
>>343438593
I was, but then I played the demo. It'll be fine.
>>343445069
>Everyone with a right mindset knew Might No. 9 was gonna suck.
Oh look. Re-writing history. /v/ was 99% on board with MN9. Like really excited.

Look at the reactions to the critical posts:

https://foolz.fireden.net/v/thread/207743203/#207751465
People only saw problems when they released the first in-game screenshots. Not the 7 second tech demo, but the actual in-game screens.
>>343445561
I was never on board so don't include me, Jabroni.
Only megafags were excited, and like I fucking said, everyone with a right mindset knew Mighty No. 9 was gonna suck.
Even if that everyone was 1%.
>>343441605
I didn't know for a while why, but watching a few videos of the demo something felt a bit off. Somehow it felt slower and not as fast paced than I was used from the igavanias until I realized it's because there was no voice acting yet.
Having those constant shouts when jumoing and attacking goeas a long way in creating a feeling of haste.
I am not really worried though since the game looks exactly like what it promises to be.
MN9 promised a Megaman game and we got something that does not understand what made those games good. This promises a modern 2D style metroidvania nad going from the demo seems to deliver that promise.
>>343446123
Have you played it? It feels pretty solid.
Also, you're right about the voices. I hope they get a goodnipVA for Miriam.
>>343442092
>Spell cards are randomly assigned to some monsters and rare
>Whip animation is slow and clunky to the point where your main attack basically defaults to the Crucifix and magic
>Dark coloring was a bitch when GBA was new without a backlight
>Only one boss was difficult
>Gear upgrades was linear and since no whip replacements besides spellcards everything felt identical
>Ability upgrades are pretty shit
>Boring vertical climbs in the castle very often instead of more interesting castle design(Compare from Metroid 1 to Super Metroid)
Nathan Graves had a nice design and the ability to run was good though
I wouldn't put it as best at all.

I have a feeling they will make it look pretty enough.
>>343442885
>Not liking the bigger castle and better music
>The bosses
The moment when the game switches the boss music on you is awesome. It's like the game knows you have learned the game at a decent point where you are very agile.

I was on board until I saw the first gameplay trailer thing.
It was an instant turn off for me.

Going by those datamined animations, I'm not too convinced. The whip animation looked awful.
>>343449878Better than nothing
>>343438593
Impossible. Castlevania fans have no standards, IGA has been making the same game since ever and they still worshipped it not matter what so he literally just has to keep doing what he has always done.
>>343452023
Iga has never made a game after Symphony.
On a scale of 1-10 how scary is Miriam?
>>343455009
4
And she's not going to be transforming into a succubus any time soon I believe.
>>343455009
On a scale of "Cute" to "Cute!" how cute is she?
>>343457194
Pretty cute.
>>343457194
c-cute!

Literally no one said instead of Metroidvania before the kickstarter.
>>343457194
Shanoa>Miriam
>short hair
>no BACK
How can she even compare?
>>343438593
The pre-alpha of Bloodstained is already 10 times better than the finished Mighty Blunder 9. Sorry you were on the wrong side of history, meme-man.
>>343440078
You mean Metriodvania or Metriod-like?
You have to be a real shitter to call anything an Igavania
>>343457372
Corrupt the child.
>>343457194
>she gets a sword-whip in the game
>>343445561
Pretty sure the whole Dina incident made the majority of /v/ turn on it and that was pretty early on. Like a month or 2 after the KS
I don't like Miriam she's overdesigned. Do we really need the horns or stupid glass? She looks good enough here >>343457372. She's not even stylish in the same way Alucard/Soma/Shanoa were. More like a collection of bad design choices.
https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/15067046/Bloodstained__Ritual_of_the_Night_Demo
Can anyone scan and confirm if that's legit?
>>343459121
Would be interested too
>>343458680
Whoever the artist is, they put Shanoa through an "anime" filter.
>>343450304
>multi-whip is back
>won't be able to grapple off stuff
JUST
>>343459121
The only copy I could vouche for was the mega link uploaded by an anon here in our threads. Where the manifest files were verified.
>>343459384
What do you mean?
>>343459564
Iga told them to "draw it like Shanoa, but different". The artist seems to have a background in typical anime style designs, (over designed, ). That's just how they draw.
>>343459121
I donwloaded it but have no antivirus here, is there a way to check without installing one?
>>343459713
Not him, but isn't this the same artist that did OoE?
>>343461156
Nope.
>>343459450
That link is dead.
>>343459121
can anyone check this?

No. Of course not.
I am an informed consumer.
You need more than simply nostalgia to bait me.

That was hilarious.
Are there any goodlet's playsof MN9 with someone shitting all over it, but while also giving it an honest chance?
>>343445561
I ignored it once retarded backers made thewrong Call.
Looking back, however. MN9 and pic related deserve each other.
>>343450509
Because the whip anim was totally final, guys.
>>343442002
It's good, but it's not the best.

If you don't like it here you could just crawl back to r/4chan you cock-gargling nigger
>>343438593
Nope, not at all. Iga's never disappointed me and the demo assuaged any concerns I might have had before, save for the possibility of delays.
>>343444757
>lel turned into kek
jej
>>343438593
No, I don't know anything about it.
I'm scared it will happen to Shantae though.
>>343469093
Anyone else think MN9 feels like a sequel to a game we missed? Because the exposition is forced as fuck and only distracts from gameplay
>>343469273
I think Wayforward will do alright. They seem like a functional team and not relying on some figurehead going "Hey I created ____ !". Yooka Laylee also looks promising
>>343469738
The fact that wayforward is an existing company that already makes vidya games including shantae games makes it seem obvious it won't be might blunder 9 tier.
But no way will it live up to the hype.
>No porn using the obvious "CumStained" pun

Reback it for 20 dollars. Worth it.
>>343469738
>"Hey I created ____ !".
Which he never did. He tries to spin doing the illustrations and some of the animations as "half creating". Compare that to Kitamura, who actually made the name, storyline, and pixel art, who says it was a team effort and cites Mashushitas's as laying the groundwork with his programming. Note that he never mentions Inafune once in the interview.
>>343470070
Go commission it thenplease choose a decent artist, possibly not Western
>>343438593
No. I can already tell RotN has a better work ethic because the person asking for money didn't do bunch of stupid shit like go overboard with an OAV, 10 billion auxiliary prizes for funders and try to fund another project (the Rockman Dash successor) before the final project was already delivered, as the case was for MN9. Inafune is Con Man.
