Bloodstained hype thread

Nice DS game lol

Funnily enough, everyone would have been happy if it looked just like the DS castlevania games.

I'd have been happy if it looked like CotM too. Just give me some sweet pixel art and I'm satisfied.

I would have wanted a little more than CotM.
Something more like this.

Looks a lot better, in my opinion. I need to see how it feels, though. I'm dying to play an IGAvania without gimmicky bullshit from the DS titles. DoS was the last good one. If I'm being more cynical, then AoS was.

What about OoE?

That's the nature of yuri niggers

Wait, he actually put the comments on the video himself? This is official material?
That's unexpected.

I thought it played fine, but I wasn't a fan of it's segmented level-based design. I'd rather just have one big castle to explore with maybe a few side areas here and there. I also thought the quest system was pretty dumb. On a side note, OoE probably had the weakest final boss in the series so hopefully they don't disappoint in that regard. In a perfect world, we'd get a castle like SotN, with an inverted version that's not annoying to traverse and offers substantial changes besides bosses and enemy placement.

While it's an improvement, some things like Miriam sitting on the couch still need work. It looks as if Miriam is a mime, pretending to sit, rather than actually sitting. At least I'm not seeing her reach the couch, it looks as if she's just sitting in front of it.

I'm only hyped for the soundtrack

I am optimistic. It will be a metroidvania by Iga, with a smaller budget than the Konami ones, but it certainly is something I wanted to see.

Just gotta wait I suppose.

Why are the graphics worse than SOTN?

Why do you think? 3D is just not that great.

Attached: SotN.jpg (640x480, 98K)

Why didnt they make it same graphics as sotn

SOTN is 3D with sprites as textures thought.

Budget. They do not have access to Konami's library of sprites. Take a look at Rondo of Blood and tell me how many of the sprites were reused for SOTN.

>SOTN is 3D with sprites as textures thought.
I know there are elements where this shows, like the clock tower, but are you positive this is used in the whole thing?

Man, I stopped giving a fuck ever since I saw they were doing it in 3D. 3D for a side scroller os a fucking mistake. Literally the only advantage it has is you can move in a 3D space, if you are ising 2D gameplay, sprites are 100000x more aesthetic. The Metroid 2 remake lost me cause of that shit too. It just never looks or feels as good to play. I was hoping like it would look like the original conceptual renders.

Samus Returns' problem isn't the fact that it's 3D, but the low fidelity. It all looks like blurry shit, and that's a problem regardless of whether it would be 2D or 3D.

Imagine Samus Returns with emulated Metroid Prime fidelity.
God I hope Prime 4 isn't shit.

Well, the result was still an unaesthetic mess that would have been way better with 2D art, regardless as to the reason. You have to put so much effort into 3D to make it look nice. Saying "3D is easier" is just devs being lazy.

Very positive. Take a look at the catacombs. You can see the "lava" is just a 3D object on the forefront which emits light. This is why the sprites closer to it are brighter. The same happens in the chapel, anywhere where the sky is visible, some of the enemies in the library are blatantly 3D. It's all 3D objects.

Ingenious, and is the reason why SOTN has the sense of depth it has.

Samus returns problem is that Mercury steam effectively did nothing for it but tack on needless abilities.

No one in the in-game art and animations department have no talent/skills for this shitstained game. All the budget went into marketing which includes this shill thread

I've got to respect IGA a bit. He could have just taken the money and run. But instead kept pushing the game back and finding new people till the game reached an acceptable level. And the updates remained regular, it is the opposite of what Yea Forums kept accusing the game of.

It can work, devs just don't have the skill/engines yet. IMO it's the cloth and hair physics. They either need to start keyframing it, which no one wants to slave over, or there needs to be an engine that can simulate both wind and realistic movement of hair.

Lighting also sucks by comparison. Even middleware 2D games had the equivalent of AAA 3D lighting/shading if you directly transfered it.

It can be done, but it's not quite there yet.

That's certainly pretty smart, it's cool to know. I knew of stuff like the books and all since they're very obvious but I didn't expect the enemies that look like just sprites to be also 3D models textured with the sprites.

Don't give them attention, it only encourages them.

IGA is a cool dude in my book, he knows what he wants to make and he tries to do it, even if what I've seen of Bloodstained is a little lackluster.
I still think breaking down the moveset into tons of different weapons with few attacks instead of a singular weapon with tons of combinations is a mistake, however. Getting a new weapon with one attack, two if you're lucky, was always underwhelming to me in SotN. The goddamn greatswords attack the same as regular swords, for god's sake.

Alright, you want me to post her girlfriend. Got it.

Will we ever have modern sprite based game with actual art direction? Devs nearly all get lazy with this and assume the sprites themselves are an art direction.

>not related?
But the point of it was to show there are weapons with multiple moves? Nothing about the graphics, cause that is the beta.

This game along with Mighty No 9 and Yooka Laylee were suppose to bring gaming back and show big publishers that there is a market for games like these. Then Mighty No 9 came out and failed, then Yooka Laylee came out and failed. So it's only natural to think that the third game that was leading the charged would also end up being sub par.

I have seen several interviews he has given about the games. Not once has he claimed to be his alone.

The only thing he dislikes admitting is that he is the writer of Tokimeki Memorial. His most successful game by far.

It is a rekka, you also have a normal hit.

>But it isn't a fighting game!
Oh sorry I thought you were making a serious point.

why are you comparing a metroidvania to a fighting game? are you actually retarded?

Ah, I think I know what you are getting at. You mean skills like this?

If I recall, people disliked having to input complicated commands in a game where platforming is important. Why not simply have a dedicated button for this kind of abilities?

Attached: 20161117145621_1.jpg (820x640, 73K)

>No Vita version

I'm disappointed to be honest.

Wouldn't that be covered by the crystals?

He was showing me that there are multiple attacks, and he's technically not wrong. A 3-hit combo is not much but it's more than the weapons having an actual one attack and maybe one or (later on) two specials.

>If I recall, people disliked having to input complicated commands in a game where platforming is important.
Why would they? No special move affects a button that would lead to an undesired jump, and the platforms are not narrow enough that you'd risk falling by inputting them. It's really a non-issue.

Yes, but this user would prefer a whole moveset for them.

Konami actually tested it on one of their games, Cho Aniki. It is a shoot them up where you have to input street fighter like moves to shoot at enemies. It is wholly regarded as a kusoge of epic proportions.

youtube.com/watch?v=R_m7fXPvRrk

ahhh both look kinda shitty desu but im sure the gameplay is going to be pre good.

>would prefer a whole moveset for them.
A whole moveset would be pretty neat, it's not like it's a shoot 'em up, Castlevania games aren't particularly fast so you have plenty of time to input.

The game runs terribly on Switch from the impressions, I can't even imagine how a Vita version would run.

Looking forward to it. Haven't played a metrodvania in a while.

So something like Richter? Then you would need to do away with the shards/souls system. They would become redundant.

vita has games that put the switch to shame tbqh, I own 2 vitas and a switch.

As far as I'd be concerned, yes. There's a reason I always play Richter if he's an option (and he's just a blast in Harmony of Despair despite the lack of Item Crashes).
But as you said, that could be taking it a bit too far, since it would take away that system. Surely there's a middle point that can be reached and satisfy both parties.

Wow! She can do a neutral jump slash, a backwards jump slash and a forward jump slash!

Multiple moves with one weapon, guys!

Attached: 1530231192623.webm (960x540, 2.88M)

I think they might have something like that with a Zangetsu run. He seems like this series' Richter.

Never played a castlevania game. Game looks kinda slow, but that‘s not that bad. It looks better than before some places still look rough. But will get it for the switch. I hope for an ingame trophy shit, nintendo still didn‘t implemented a trophy system.

I'm really not sure why you are so upset about people telling you the game has more features.

>Surely there's a middle point that can be reached and satisfy both parties.
That would just be souls/crystals though. Most classic extra weapons just become that, similar with the few moves he gained over time.

You have not played a metroidvania before? These games are all about exploration - once you get new weapons/items you unlock new areas to explore.

i mean that's exactly how greatswords work in the castlevania games and i'm certain you'd be just as upset if they had changed it.

Been having fun going through Curse of the Moon on and off for the past few weeks, all I have left to do is the Boss Rush mode.
Here's hoping Ritual of the Night is at least half as fun.

It's going to be a completely different kind of game. You may or may not like it depending on if you like metroidvanias.

But what if we gave Richter more moves? In the end he has the slide kick, tackle, uppercut, spin kick. It's nice, but much more could be added.
I can't help but wonder how would a character with a moveset the size of a fighting game character's be to play.

It's not that radically different, it's just that instead of having multiple linear stages, you traverse a labyrinthine castle.

faggots would rather have Mega Man 9 than Mega Man 11

you know if they did do the sprite art people would just call it a lazy 4 million dollar romhack right?

that'ss still more complicated than they were in the DS Iga games. Fuck off Hollow Knight faggot.

well in castlevania you can't jump through enemies like in that webm, which is dissapoint, touching enemies is damage.
any game you can touch enemies and not take damage is easy mode.

Yeah I played metroid and metroidvanias like hk and a little bit ori. I always thought that metroidvanias are more a mixture between metroid and castlevanias but not 1:1 the same.

castlevania at it's core, is better than any mix/hybrid of metroidvania labeled game

And if it DOESN'T need DLC than this will be an incredible feat Iga and his team have pulled off.

I don't have any beef with the game using 3d models.

I think Iga got what bugged people- which was the fact that Miriam and the foreground objects didn't pop anywhere near enough compared to the backgrounds. 3d spaces + 2d plane requires you make foreground objects pop VERY strongly for players know what the fuck they're interacting with and the original visual design didn't do that.

Also 60+ FPS 3d models can have kind of a cheap look without very strong visual design where 16-24FPS sprite-work does a lot of work on its own even at really low resolutions.

There's plenty of more graphically intensive games on the system that manage to run at 60 FPS, there's literally no excuse for this besides not giving a shit. On top of fucking that the Switch version's releasing a week later than the rest of them. Really hope you PC bros will be willing to share your GOG versions, because I ain't paying them again to play this on a non shit frame rate.

lol

I actually think this webm is great. It plays exactly like the old games, I did this same shit to a billion bosses in the other dsvanias.
Anything else but that for greatswords and I would be mad.

The animations lack impact.
Like the comparison between DmC:VD and DMC4SE's portrayals of Vergil. Both used the same motion capture, but the timing of the swings made one look weak and one look strong.

>shitch
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

so what does it need, hit pause/stun whatever its called

>wanting hitstun cancer in my dsvanias

Fuck off. The people who funded this game want more of those games, not DMC. It looks cheap but it's actually fun to play and that's what make those games fun.

Again?

It needs brisker swings so they have weight.
This applies to movement as well. When Zangetsu jumps, he pretty much just hovers like someone is dragging him in photoshop.

Hol' up, lemme just freeze Death in place real quick.

that's because womyn empowerment is too constantly done today and it's always lame.

Hitstun is just a cheap way of adding fake weight and compensating for poor animations.

The old sprite masters have all retired and new ones are in short supply. It also takes a lot more time and effort (which equals money) to make sprites.

>TFW you've been waiting five goddamn years for this game to finally happen and it's barely over a month a way
The original teasers for Bloodstained came out almost a full year before the kickstarter actually happened. My hype will not die.
From what I know Iga was actually well liked at Konami, and aside from the poor sales his games experienced at the end there he got on relatively well with the higher ups, to the point that when he finally did leave it was on positive terms. He still doesn't speak badly of them in interviews to this day.

>so what does it need
Less frames. Seriously, smooth animations for attacks are cancer to weight and momentum.

For example, an animation which updates every 2 frames will look heavier and faster than an animation which updates every frame. So if you had a animation which is 60 frames long, cut out every other frame, then double the remaining frames. You basically want to trick people into seeing something that's not there, rather than actually show it.

It's why a lot of sprite based games feel more weighty, because creating 60 frames for 1 60 frame animation is extremely time consuming and expensive, so they only make like 12 frames and stretch them across how many frames they need for a full animation. It's also where a lot of people going from 2D to 3D fuck up on as well, because they make everything too smooth because it's much easier to now, and they lose the power from the animations.

You want snappy, not smooth.

It plays exactly like SotN which is what the kickstarter was sold on, and the early demo was the first area of the game where you don't have access to the requisite movement abilities and more varied weapons. The main complaints with the gameplay was that Miriam's jumps were floaty, and they've already addressed that in later demos by making her fall faster.

and got BTFO with W101 and the overall low sales of his projects. It also took a toll on him that most of his best works belong to other companies now and they continue well beyond and without him.

His company is on the verge of bankruptcy 99.99999% of the time. The only reason it is still standing is completely unrelated to him: Yoko Taro.

i honestly always thought that concept art looked like shit. Looks like some mobile trash

>WiiU version: cancelled
>Vita version: cancelled

Typical Kikestarter trash

Very likely because Iga had to scrounge cash by making mobile games.

Yeah it's not great.

I did honestly prefer the more stylized HUD design though.

this lmao. How can people make up so much bullshit to be upset about?

nice edit of the Inafune tweet.

>All the modding possibilities ranging from different shaders to character models
Having IGA style gameplay is just icing on the cake.

Some people think shitposting more would result in more discussions, but now there are more idiots shitposting on a game then people genuinely discussing it's pros/cons

>OoE probably had the weakest final boss in the series
Not only do I disagree, but I played Rondo for the first time right after I finished OoE and because of it, I beat Rondo's Dracula on my very first try.

It's just ennui. Some retard in a previous thread that without shitposting they really had nothing to discuss. Neither about Castlevania nor Bloodstained. It's so depressing.

It's the just the 3D that makes it look slow. Theres a reason people backlash or wolf run everywhere in SotN

Pretty sure even if it's 3D we'll get a shard or boots that'll make Miriam go faster.

By the way, has Iga said just how large the castle will be? Comparatively speaking?

Backed it for $100 like 3 years ago. I kinda feel like im not going to get it. Like they are going to lose backers info or some kikestarter BS

Has fangamer done something like that previously?

One of the Stretch Goal promises was that it would be the largest castle yet in an Iga game.

There's an accessory already in the Beta Demo that increases movement speed. Feels around 20% faster.

Attached: BloodstainedSpeedBelt.jpg (1920x1080, 469K)

The closest I can think of is Mighty No. 9 fiasco where it took over a year after the game's release for people to get all their backer rewards, but from what I can remember Fangamer issued a statement that it was because Comcept constantly ghosted on them and wouldn't send them the necessary materials or approvals for designs.

Pixel sprites are still very efficient to produce today if you stick to lower res (third strike is like the highest you should ever go if you're still using pixels imo, don't go the KOF13 route), so the idea that it's wholly more expensive isn't entirely accurate. It really depends on what the game's goals are. The custom equipment and cinematic cutscene stuff seemed like a priority for Iga with Bloodstained, which are much harder to do witrh 2D art, so 3D was just the more practical route for him overall.

Finding artists that can produce pixels at a good quality and a tight budget actually isn't too hard, but finding enough of them that can be flexible with any art direction and produce on a quick schedule is where things get tough. That's why a lot of games with good pixel art today are basically passion projects from either a single artist like Owlboy or a very tight knit group like GalaxyTrail. Then you've got a company like WayForward that's able to pull contractors together in small bursts but usually not for anything too ambitious.

It uses the same speed and motion as the 2D games. The Igavanias were pretty floaty in general and 3D tends to rely on faster moves for a sense of weight.

While the Igavania's were always pretty floaty, they've made it worse in 3D by making the animations too smooth. Even in the gif you've shown, you can see the sword swing isn't a smooth motion. The mid swing only has around 3 frames-ish.

Then you get stuff like Aria's big circular tweens for its greatswords. When it's 2D you're far more likely to immediately forgive its weightlessness and focus on its gameplay function. Bloodstained in general, while its animations aren't the greatest, has focused on faithfulness to the speed and pacing of Symphony and its successors and it shows in the enemy patterns and animations.

Attached: AoS_Final_Sword[1].gif (234x202, 26K)

They probably could have improved it by making the swing itself faster while leaving the trail and hitbox out for longer, leaving the final pose to linger to keep the overall attack the same length.

While I am excited, gotta agree with you there on the smooth animations make it worse. It's not really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it'll need time to get used to.

I have never played any of these kinds of games, what should I start with?
I tried Hollow Knight, but it got boring after 10 hours. Running around the same locations and killing the same enemies over and over again without any new moves or weapons or abilities or any sort of customization that actually changes gameplay made it boring for me. I might be wrong about HL though, redpill me on it, and I might try it again.

>got bored of hollow knight in 10 hours
i think you should try Aria of Sorrow first, IIRC it has the smallest castle so backtracking is minimal
starting with Symphony of the Night is also acceptable considering its was the first one to release, but it starts to overstay its welcome once you reach the second half

How long until physical version for the switch?

You can pretty much start from anywhere as long as it's a 2D Castlvania.

If you want a metroidvania, Symphony of the Night is usually the default starting point.

Still not close to being my cup of tea but I’m glad to see him acknowledge the shit from before.

June 28th.

Start with Super Metroid. It will give you an idea of what is a decent metroid/metroidvania.

Is the song used in the trailer a released track? Or did I miss an update from forever ago like a retard?

june is just the release date. did they confirm it'll be physical already? i don't think they're done with the stretch goal content yet, so if it's physical now, it'll be an incomplete copy requiring day one patches and downloads in the near future.

>The much-delayed title – which set crowdfunding records a few years back – will hit Nintendo Switch on June 25th, a little behind the PS4, Xbox One and PC editions, which all launch on June 18th.

>Retail versions will follow on June 21st (PS4, Xbox One, PC) and June 28th (Switch).

my hope is all the rad tunes are brought back and the weapons have cool attacks

The first theme is Gebel's theme. He appears after you beat the first boss.
The second is the galleon's stage theme.

So yes.

Symphony of the Night, and if you liked that, try the GBA and DS Castlevanias

I think the 2nd song in the trailer is a newer version of Cursed Orphan.

I hope this means they'll be shipping the physical backer releases early to match retail. I'll never forget how pissed the backers were when Comcept flubbed the backer code releases until after the game was out and available for anyone to grab at retail.

*Supposedly* the backer codes and packages are to arrive to their owners the very launch day. That will be a management nightmare for sure.

Still looks terrible, but nice job trying to do last minute polishes.

Capcom vs SNK was the best sprite

Did you notice the new charge attack after you get the evil ending? I didn't realize it existed until the internet told me

Thanks user. God, that is such a big difference. If you didn't put made the filename with belt I thought that was the default speed.

Yeah it's 4am, should've put which webm is which in my posts.

With the speed belt in the Beta Demo. Takes up 1 accessory slot. Hopefully you can get another and stack them for more speed in the main game.

Regular run speed without the speed belt.
