Truly kino

I hope to god you're not talking about koumajou densetsu. That shit has as much thoughtfulness put into its level design as tossing random knickknacks into a fishbowl.

Koumajou is more a Rondo clone than SotN, so it couldn't have been that

Reminder that haters never have played a single castlevania game in their lives.

It's too short and easy, though

Garbage, IMO.

Reminder that the weapon animations were mocapped from Iga, a complete amateur.

I expected even less animations from them, to be honest. I'm fine with it, even if they may be inaccurate to the real world

Looks so stiff and dull.
Even PSP Rondo had more life than this.

those aren't fully 3D backgrounds, right? Looks pretty bad.

Same. Curse of the Moon was great so I see little reason to doubt this will be bad.

A bit reassuring that we have to be THIS picky to find something to bitch about

To be fair, this can be done in every single Castlevania since SOTN

>soul drops
>you exit back of the room anyways

They made them better, but also these actually look good when you play, somehow. They only look bad on recorded gameplay and I can't explain why.

I'm watching this on a loop and getting back some bad memories.

I'm sure the game won't pull anything worse than grinding Final Guards for item drops.

>i summon knives

Cursed of the moon was made by a different studio , and was a 2d sprite based classicvania. So I'm kind of worried for this one. Regardless of what happens it did bring us Curse of the Moon, which was really good.

J-jokes on you I didn't want a final guard soul a-anyways

Did anyone actually have any hope this would be good? I knew from the moment it was unveiled with those super shitty Mighty No. 9 tier 3d model assets it was going to be an absolute mess.

At worst, it will be just another metroidvania. Which is precisely the reason I'm gonna wait for the price to drop or when it gets bundled with another game or completely skip it if I don't see further improvement.

Yes.

>metroidvania
It seems like it has stages similar to the older Castlevanias, but honestly I haven't been paying much attention. Just seen the boat and the castle, which makes me think not everything is interconnected.

so what exactly is an uninvited claw?

Even for classicvania it's dogshit dude. Theres kawata shoujo castlevania flash game parody with better level design.

a) That's not 60fps. b) that's not 3D mimicking 2D. You're talking shit on both accounts.

If you watch/play any old Castlevania, or any old fighting game, attacks start with with a wind up pose then SNAP into the hit. It gives attacks weight and a pop to them. The trick is animators intentionally remove/neglect frames inbetween to give the illusion of speed. Basic animation skills. A good modern example, though I don't like the game, is Dragonball FighterZ.

For some reason, when JP devs are working with low budgets, they always fucking forget this and it makes attacks look too smooth and soft. King of Fighters XIV has this problem with some of its animations, too (Kyo's roll).

Western devs rarely make melee heavy 2.5D games; they're mostly always fully 2D and don't have the problem.

Why does everything look so fucking flat?

inafune managed to shit his bed in absolutely epic fashion with all the delays and extra crowdfunders that even the bulk of the native players turned on him.

in this case that hasn't happened so either because the backers legit like what they see or are just hoping to god it doesn't get that bad the same public perception of an absolute turd hasn't gotten there.

Other than that, so far it looks like a skip for me, but I like to browse these threads to see any further improvement.
The way I see it, every single metroidvania entry improved in one way or another the previous game. At worst made things different enough to warrant a look at it.
This doesn't look like the case, so far.

I am honestly a little bit disappointed.

will still give it a try to confirm if Bloodstained (or BS as I like to call it) is indeed MN9-tier garbo or not.

I think bloodstained looks worse than the SoTN but complaining about that kinda shit is just autism.
You know i'm reffering to the castlevania series, metroidvania was coined to differentiate between classicvania and metroidvania in the series. It just so happened people started to use the term for any game that is like metroid instead.

Yes. They only know how to tortanic and MN9 troll so they know jack shit about the actual games.

The pacing isn't really different, it just looks like shit in 3D, especially with the quality of animation we're getting.

What are the flaws? They moved away from the shitty glyphs and have added the aiming mechanic while retaining the classic Igavania gameplay. So far it's good to me.

I don't get why idiots compare Yooka Laylee or MN.9 to this fucking game when it had none of the PR problems and it actually plays like what you expect it to be.

MN9 obviously was complete garbage nothing to it.
But Yooka Laylee was 100% literally just banjo kazooie copy pasted into a new game. It was soulless because it just took things from the original game and slapped it into a new game without realizing why the original game had those elements in the first place.
Bloodstained is looking very similar to Yooka Laylee, taking shit from SoTN and it's successors without actually stopping to think "why did these games do this" or going "How can we improve what these games did not so well"

He did more than that to be honest, most of the entries that are solid had his involvement (GBC Megaman X, X5-X8 didn't). That's no small reason why they're full of small fuckups that compromise the entire experience. He had an idea of what to do.

Of course that doesn't redeem what he pulled off with MN9 or his talks of "saving the japanese industry" in the slightest. "Knowing how to make 2D action games" doesn't make you a visionaire who's going to save an entire industry.

Too bad his fanboys didn't get the memo.

>Bloodstained is looking very similar to Yooka Laylee, taking shit from SoTN and it's successors without actually stopping to think "why did these games do this" or going "How can we improve what these games did not so well"
tbqh all their games past aria of sorrow were just a rehash with one gimmick thrown in them.

whats the purpose? to grind enemies? if you have to grind in single player games you already lost

That's how all the original games were you stupid fucking fuck. Fucking kill yourself already.

I don't understand how you can possibly think OoE has more complex and varied gameplay than Bloodstained. I love the game but most glyphs are effectively just different melee weapons. Really, it even has more systems than either Sorrow game.

The question is whether the castle will be as satisfying to explore as those games. Gameplay wise the game looks top notch.

I thought it was on release, I still think it's good, but it's a step down from most of the previous titles in my opinion. Poor variety in attacks, with most being worthless, long boring hallway level design, and just a general lack of content compared to the earlier games.
At least the character designs are fantastic.

Why is Yea Forums so seethingly desperate to make this game fail?

What made it so great, though? It has one of the worst level designs of all DS Igavanias and I personally disliked the glyph system. Other then that, it's same old Igavania with a fresh coat of paint

Fucking kill yourself.

Not him, but what's wrong with crafting?
I thought it was fine in DoS

>but why, the inverted castle was boring as fuck in the first place.
maybe there's new hidden areas that can only be found in inverted areas. At least it's not going to be like SotN where it's mandatory to go through it.

Because that's how Yea Forums works.

The inverting is used for puzzle solving. It's not like SotN where you're stuck in a version of the castle that wasn't designed for on-foot traversal. You can swap back and forth as needed. That's a clear improvement.

Also. Good job ignoring all of the actual major gameplay changes it offers. Very impressive.

don't get me wrong. SoTN IS way better than the handheld castlevanias but to each their own.

So they can feel superior about it

Why are modern devs so afraid of 2D sprites? Or heck hand drawn stuff if you don't want to go the spriteart route

Outside of some of arcsys stuff, no 2.5D game has ever looked great. They're passable at best and bloodstained doesn't even make it that far. It needs to fucking stop already

This your first Castlevania? People have been doing this shit since the 1980's.

just get the pc version so you can mod the hell out of it.

Funny way of twisting words, user. Tell me one good reason why innovating old mechanics is a bad thing

I'd claim that the level design complaint is subjectivity as well. It goes for a more classic CV approach where it's more linear, but that comes with the bonus of enemies being designed more interestingly and challenging than the other games.

Why do you think arcsys their 2.5d looks good while the other ones don't?
It's because they use the style not because they think it looks better but because it's cheaper to make. ArcSys put A LOT of time and effort into making Xrd look as good as it did

This is after grinding out the Arrow Shard to max level both via crafting and via farming shards.

That said, I do agree that the Shards need balancing. Arrow is insanely powerful in the demo once leveled, moreso than any other tool in your arsenal. Hopefully there's better gatekeeping by making materials for higher levels of the Shard dropped by later enemies or something.

As much as I liked OoE, the castle was really disappointing. There was like only four parts, which were not very interesting (walking on books was fun though), and not very varied.

No, you misunderstand. Together with HoD, Corridor of the Moon is literally the worst of the metroidvania games.

Not him but in Metroid, individual rooms allowed for creation of hidden entrances, exits, puzzles to solve in some rooms, boss-specific rooms, save points, item refill stations and other things that make sense in a genre all about exploration.

well, yeah.
I understand the flaws of HoD and CotM but they're both still decent.
I just like CotM's soundtrack which doesn't ever disappoint.

Spritework is expensive and, nowadays a specialized skill when taken beyond something like Shovel Knight or Circle of the Moon.

I'll say that, at the very least, it's good that they're doing things with the fact that it's 3D that wouldn't be feasible with sprites (customization, accessories showing up, alternate outfits, etc.)

KONAMI!

HD resolution basically means you need to put as much work in as a full feature cartoon more or less.

Spritework is multiple times more expensive and slow to produce.
That's the whole reason.
Devs don't have infinite money and time, they have to decide the best way to spend every last penny

beautiful spritework does NOT sell games in 2019.

Not that user but I adore CotM. For me, it hits a good balance between Metroidvania and Classicvania and I thought the card system was cool as shit. I'd love something like that to show up again.

Then why can Lab Zero do it? IGA is just plain lazy, pure and simple.

Because continuing a series comes with expectations. Of course these expectations do not follow a fully rigid game design, but after a certain point of wanting to change things you're better off selling your game as something completely new. Ship of Theseus.

I feel you man. Since Disney stopped making 2D film, japaneese studio make the bast 2D films, but holy fuck, it's like all the talented animator flew from video-game making.

Look my pic. See how the swordman prepare his blow, and suddenly like teleport on his target. It's called "Follow through and overlapping action" and it's one of the basic rules of animation. It gives impact.

The soundtrack is pretty disappointing if you ask me. It's a lot of nostalgiabait that shoots itself in the foot by being worse than what it's trying to be. The tracks are very repititive and bloopy, whereas the other two GBA games make much better use of the soundchip.

I find it so jarring BECAUSE it tries to be some mixed abomination. Archaic movement mechanics for example are fine if the rest of the game is designed around them, but neither the enemies nor the map are.
I'm also really peeved by the card system. Whereas other games leave crucial upgrades both in plain sight, some slightly more hidden areas and as random drops, this game gives you very little indication of which cards you should be chasing and where to chase them, coupled with the process of finding out not being well designed around this lack of information. The worst is when you're expected to backtrack into dead end boss rooms, for which you have absolutely zero reason, so you can then farm some trick candles.

yeah, well your cutscene of an animation really doesn't fit an action based game you fucking retard
Where's that rule

Makes attacks look a lot swifter and like they have real cutting force.

Look at SOTN; the normal swords have incredibly fast initial strike and a wind down animation on the back end if you just do one slash, but if you're in motion or follow up a second slash. That back end animation is cancelled and it makes each slash look like a swift slice.

On the other hand, the Greatswords have a slow, arcing animation that is completed from beginning to end, making them look hefty and damaging.

The hell? Japan is the only place that actually knows this, you've got it backwards.
Just look at the animation in DMC, Street Fighter, Ninja Gaiden, Tekken, Smash Bros, etc.

I guess that's not as good as NRS games, huh?

I like these type of threads
They point out "flaws" that actual just show off what makes these type of games good and not some overly done yet still watered down vania shitheel of a game

Game looks like shit, 2.5D is aids. Shit animations too, and gameplay is nothing new.

sounds pretty good.

That's pretty smooth. I was expecting something more choppy.

Shill harder fag

SotN and AoS had broken shit too.

Harmony of Despair ruined me, I cannot enjoy hearing any Castlevania music with the lead being a basic bitch, squealing electric guitar.

that seems to be really common in western games, though. I noticed that in The Surge, and I like that game.

Aria and Dawn of Sorrow fans know that pain.

Those mixes are so damn good. I do like that some of the GBA games have arrange versions of songs though.

Bloodstained does seem like it'll have some bangers though. I hope we get some remixes of Curse of the Moon songs as well.

I imagine hearing the same style over again does get old fast. HoDe was kinda guilty of that.

I can literally two-shot Dracula with my Muramasa.

I got it coming physical on Switch. So hopefully the slight delay means they'll have ironed out anything that might be wrong with the most "recent" console platform version.

You can tell that Bloodstained song you just posted wasn't actually done by Michiru Yamane, it's also probably and I hate to say this but I don't think it's very good either.

I hope we get something like Festival of Servants in the OST which sounds way more evil and crazy.

Only because it is so rare to see beautiful spritework in 2019. Cuphead did quite well in large part due to its 2d graphics.

Curse of the Moon was pretty forgettable in the music department. I feel like too much emphasis is placed on symphonic tracks, so I hope it won't all just blend together to me.

I kind of expected I'd have to do something like this at some point since the system is like the souls in the Soma games

I especially like the track for the first Stage, personally. While not perfect, I'd like something like this in the main game, with a bit more orchestration to it:

So much this. You can be super broken in this game. Even something simple and immediately available like soul steal makes a bunch of content trivial and all you need are button presses. Even shit like form of mist makes a bunch of shit easier. You can make the game as easy or difficult as you want.

Why not both?

Judgment is the distilled autism that you receive by running CV through an anime filter.

No joke, I actually really really like Aradia's design. It's weird to me that it came out of a Hentai game because with a little touching up I really think it'd make a decent CV protagonist design.

Because is a game and not a movie.

Hopefully the delay means that the first content update will be on the cartridge instead of an update to download.

They've made it into $10 DLC for people who didn't back.

>people giving a shit about a game not yet released
When's it actually coming out?

In one month.

Will there be a physical release?

yes

Never mind, I'm a moron. I see it now

Why are nun headscurfs so fucking hot?

the average amount people paid for the kickstarter was something like $100+, it'll be interesting to see if one of them leaks backer exclusive stuff. I'm anticipating it's going to take a while longer than it normally would've.

t. $175 backer who wouldn't do it.

June 27th i think.
