Why does it look so boring?

just see these are all fair points to make, while not gamebreaking, it definitely makes the experience kind of boring.

Nice that they went to actual artwork.

for criticizing the game? really?

Why is it that fat people don't seem to have any means to determine the difference between something that looks good and something that looks bad? Is that why they're fat?

See It doesn't look like the finished build but so far it's doing what I heard complained in previous games so that's why I'm not concerned.

you can't see her dick?

You have to be deluded to think being fat is not a problem you have to solve immediately so maybe

why bring it to PAX if it's not in a good enough state to show? People would've understood if we didn't get a demo and maybe got a regular trailer instead, but bringing a very unfinished and boring demo to PAX only harms your game rather than help it.

The real redpill of Shantae is the games were always fucking boring and easy. I always drop them after a few levels because it lacks any proper challenge or interesting gimmicks.

Holy shit that's a lot of reused assets, and without the 2.5D scenery from the last game

It's a Shantae game, by now you should know what kind of quality to expect

This actually looks far better than half genie hero's and at least 50% of pirate curse's maps. Finally we have proper dungeons again instead of huge empty hallways filled with respawning enemies. Gameplay looks faster too.

>why bring it to PAX if it's not in a good enough state to show?
Ok, so now you think the gameplay is shit? It looks exactly like past games but faster pace and finally instant transforming. Plus dungeons are back.

the only point i agree with is the key enemy spam and the only excuse i could think of is that its also a nod to the first game

So its Shantae 1 HD. Sweet.

If the Fusions are new moves, what are the dances for?

no I'm saying that you shouldn't bring the demo to pax if it's clearly unfinished. demos are supposed to give a hands on impression, and if your impression is "ehhh it's kinda boring" then you're going to be left thinking it's boring, at least until they prove it isn't later(which who knows if they will until launch since they're probably going to use this demo at every event until launch). This is why some companies make special demo versions of the game, which are versions of the game made purely to show off what you're gonna get, rather than plopping the tutorial/first area of the game in a demo and locking you out of progressing past that.

Attached: example-24846.jpg (1024x1024, 61K)

Do you not know what demos are? Nintendo, SEGA, and every other company does this... Only if this was the official release of the game then you'd have a point, but it's not.

The first game is pretty janky and creative in a way that I enjoy. 2-3-4 were all boring as hell though

i was thinking the same
maybe teleports and shit or maybe they could work like ocarina of time songs for puzzles

Attached: 1549691831862.jpg (700x731, 89K)

I know what demos are, and I even point out that some companies make special demos for events or the eshop/ps store/steam or pick a different portion of the game instead of the first fucking level so that way they can give you more tools and more freedom to figure out what the game has to offer.

It's literally the same thing as SatPC's first demo, except this actually has a boss fight.

Everything seems to move way too fast though. It's like they took the "dances slow the pace down" complaint and turned it on its head. Also, why isn't Wetgal here when we know she's in the game?

Shantae in smash when?

Because WayForward's entire history is of making shit games with appealing visuals.

Shush

All I know is that I want to fuck that plant.

What is it with plant fucker lately

Mario is already in Smash

And good music.

And funny dialogue.

Writing quality varies though.
Personally PC had a lot of lines i liked, but HGH seemed to rely alot on "Haha, isn't this character stupid?"

Lack of stage hazards, the same enemies from the last 10 years, Boss ripoff of from that Cuphead flower. 5 second Risky midboss. EMPTY CORRIDORS.

It looks lazy as shit and not even the music is good this time. The game is gonna be 2 hours long since there's nothing but basic platforming with none of the Metroidvania skill.

I want to fuck Shantae.

I already like it. I've got my main want (dungeons) back. We'll see how the rest pans out. If every dungeon has their own main gimmick (this one's being easy timed runs) like GBC, I think I'll be just fine with this. It has a chance of becoming my favorite, if it improves over the game. If not, it's decent.

That girl wrapped in plants looks like some nice fetish fuel. I wont buy this boring as game but ill fap to whatevers posted on the web

Nobody knows how to make the Shantae gameplay work. And the lack of boomerang throwing animation pisses me off.
Shantae would've been better if she has elastic hair powers or had a gun because the tiny melee button mashing is tedious and boring.

seems legit...I don't really know why people here think the game has to be hard to be enjoyed...i don't remember any game like that being hard, even in metroid all the difficulty comes to finding the stuff, not any boss or enemy

>demo sux
You best apologize when the game actually comes out

It looks like a massive upgrade from Half-Baked Hero so it already looks interesting.

Actual dungeons instead of shitty sidescrolling stages.

Attached: 1550548822092.gif (284x301, 1.49M)

well, the carb dude really was boring in HGH and the plant boss really was boring and even was a plant just to rub it off they took the idea from super metroid and it will be in the final game, so there are two complains that wil probably be in the final game at least

The insta transformations are huge and open up so much platforming, that was the feature I was most excited about and I'm so glad it's delivering.
I agree with some points made though like the lack of enemy feedback BUT it's not nearly enough to make me any less excited since this is going to be just as good if not better than PC.

So, you're saying it's WayForward's fault?

Same guy here. And to be honest, my only interest is what the cutscenes will look like.

>Demo has 95% of everything in a Shantae game
>Using HGH Sprites.
>No collectables except Squids and keys.
>No skill involved in defeating enemies or bosses.
Prepare for disappointment. They'll have some more "repeat this game over with a costume" instead of new dungeons for DLC, guaranteed.

If it's not WayForward's fault, who is? The devs who they hired? This isn't Sonic Team to Sega Corps. It's a small indie studio and Matt Bozon.

Attached: 1561767536836.jpg (1196x664, 165K)

Instead of mashing buttons, why not use Shantae's hair to make combo attacks for better visuals? You could even make her transform into animals between combos too.

Including the Burning Town song? Seriously, Kaufman, it's not fucking funny anymore.

>Burning Town
>Boss Battle Theme
>Risky Theme
>all sound effects re-used
He adds 2 more instruments to it and gets and easy paycheck. It's not even a remix, not extended, just another cover of the song.

Because after the first game, WayForward became allergic to any combat complexity greater than "push button once".

>Prepare for disappointment.
Don't worry about me. I won't be disappointed, it'll just be a shame if that's the case.
Although, I'm still looking forward to those animated cutscenes they'll have.

Remember the shantae backflip kick? Or the very first Risky fight. KINO.

Man I love it when a game fails and turns out to be shit

>First game: Can only hit Risky when she drops her guard to attack, forcing you to be patient
>HGH: Switch on Pike Balls and DPS her to defeat

I remember quite well.

Atleast Pike Ball is a projectile now instead of the broken orbital it was before.
Nega-Shantae in RR dies in seconds to it.

The greatest mistake in Shantae games is the use of full healing and full magic items while the levels have full hearts before any boss battle. Or pic related.

And the Magic Invincible Shield in HGH was broken.

What fetish things are in the series? Never played shantae

Well the in the Ninja DLC it turns out you've been running around in what's effectively Shantae's old stained from white to green diaper.

Arent there enemies that look like like-likes and vore shantae? I saw a video of it once but cant find it again

Shantae relies on girl power fantasy with mostly female enemies, ass wiggling, hip shaking, and monster boobies. (It's not as sexy as it sounds) She'd be forgotten and buried if it wasn't for sex appeal like Metroid.

The slime girls grab you and pull you inside them, and you have to mash buttons to get out.

>"I haven't played it" The post

Shantae was never good.

I think the Snake Merchant was also associated with vore, because of the guy that designed her?
Nothing of that in the game though.

>Why does it look so boring?
Because it's a Shantae game.

The bog monster is an orgy of slimes that try to eat her. No vore animation though.

I wish they did fluid sprite animation and lewder enemies. HGH toned down the sex appeal compared to Pirate's Curse. Remember when the female monsters were nude and had no nipples? Remember Shantae 1 Harpy?

Attached: hqdefault.jpg (480x360, 30K)

So it plays the 2nd game well having quicker transformations?
It should be good then, definitely a step up from HGH.

>So it plays the 2nd game well having quicker transformations?

Attached: 032.jpg (1600x1200, 217K)

Yawn, wake me up when Pirate's Curse 2 comes out. Animal gameplay is problematic because the stages aren't clever enough to not be broken by flying transformations or underused things like the Spider.
We need a proper Risky Boots game.

My only defense to this is that it's only the very first dungeon before you get any of these insta-transformations, which look really neat. I kinda have a feeling it will follow a similar style of progression to Hollow Knight or Pirate's curse

Attached: Snug smug.jpg (1200x1027, 141K)

Hollow Knight seems like kind of a bold claim, i don't think it'll be that open.
Though since the bosses seem to be the sirens that'd mean there's seven dungeons, so i guess it could be neat if there was like 3 or so which you could tackle in any order.

Attached: 149531379262502492.gif (2774x2180, 1.07M)

I recall there being another "monster", but its actually part of platforming.
A mouth that grabs Shantae when you jump in it and you shoot out like a cannon.

I hope WayForward has the balls to animate this in HGH sprites and put it into Sat7S.

they're sjw now.

Oh yeah, those things are common throughout Pirate's Curse from the second dungeon onward.
I don't think they have a name though.

>Why does it look so boring?

You mean like the previous game?

I think i have it either on steam or psn but i haven't played it much because it looked boring as shit.

So, are they reusing assets from HGH?

Well, at least this one won't take 5 years to make.

They were in the very first game as generic spinning orbs, which you can still see in their mouths.

>one guy who directed RCG is one
>G-GUYS MATT IS TOTALLY ONE TOO SHANTAE IS DOPE NOW SHE GONNA WEAR A JACKET AND #METOO BOLO
Fuck I’m ok with people shitting on this game and stuff but at least don’t act retarded when you shit on it

I'm aware, but the guy wanted the vore version specifically.

The problem I have is I know WF can make great platforming, they're just not ballsy enough to actually challenge players in the normal game. They always hide their great platforming behind hidden areas, or unlockables, or post-game content.

I actually like HGH

You know all Shantae fans just come here looking for tits and fetishes. Shantae is a lame character without them, that's the only reason why anyone would care for her mediocre series.

t. A Hat in Time fan.

Post more fetish stuff please

It looks fucking comfy you absolute degenerate

Who's that?

I kid, but you think they might bullshit a reason to bring Holly back as a minor side-villain? Because HGH really fucked up by ending her character arc too soon

Looks pretty good to bh. It's obviously either the first level or made easier for the demo. I can't wait to get it on the switch

I've seen caves in Pokemon with more things going on than this. The meaning of comfy means you would like to be there in real life.

because the entire franchise is unremarkable except Pirate's Curse

Going back to 2D backgrounds was a good choice.

No ass.

I liked Pirate's Curse and then funded $200 for HGH. Now I regret the series for turning against their previous audience for kiddie shit. Still good for you for being optimistic

This, they should boil it down to the original four and a new set of four and flesh all of them out more, to the point that you can spend most of your time in whichever form you like.

wayforward hires their friends, friends of SJWs are typically SJWs themselves. Also don't forget that the literal only reason Shantae is a girl is because Bozon wanted representation for women, literally what SJWs strive for.

I really liked Pirate's Curse. But HGH was really boring. This demo looks better than HGH just because of the instant newt transformation. Hopefully the platforming and maps get better than this demo. Th save room every other room I hope is just for the demo sake

I have faith they’ll look back and make it better after the HGH complaints, hell instant transformation alone makes me believe they listen to people liking quicker gameplay and are most likely only going to have dancing for puzzles, and transformation coins for platforming

The bosses could gain a lot with just a few expressive sounds added in. Like taunts from Risky and maybe little giggles from the plant girl during her attacks (good audio indicator of them too) and sighs or even soft singing/humming while basking in the sunlight. It would give them slightly more character and fights a sense of fun. Right now the silence is deafening.
For a series known partly for its sound design this was pretty lacking. It also does looks a little dull BUT considering its a demo for an unfinished game, and thus probably either the tutorial level or part of an unfinished one (hopefully), I still have hope it'll be enjoyable. There were a few little things in there that seemed like they'ed be fun mechanics if they can utilize them well.

Plus the presence of heart squids might mean we're getting the Squidsmith back, which is just fine in my book

God, why can't they make a UI that doesn't look like fucking powerpoint dog shit? Other than that, the increased movement speed is a god send and incorporating instant transformations was definitely a step back into the right direction that pirate's curse started. Dungeon looked boring beyond fucking belief though. Same old shit they've been doing. Flower boss was cute as fuck though. Disappointed they're using HGH art again.

>she has dialog splash art

The UI is fine 2bh. It's the text boxes that need work.

Did you get to the first dungeon yet?
Those are the best part of the game imo.

It gets better as you get more abilities. It's a very solid game for what it is, I'd say try to at least get to the Golem Mine before you make the decision to drop it.

Yeah a lot of people seem to not know how metroidvania's work. Pirate's Curse is simple at the start too. The fun comes from collecting gear that gives you new movement and combat options and watching Shantae become an unstoppable sword charging, cannon ball jumping killing machine. Looks like switching quickly between monster fusions you collect will serve the same purpose.

you are subhuman sjw faggot kill yourself you have no human value

this is just depressing, typically with franchises as they age you'd see SOME sort of evolution, but there's barely any, even Deltarune made noticeable changes to how Undertale's system works and made noticeable improvements to things like sprite animations and general art direction, here it's been the same shit for nearly 20 years and for a studio with nearly 200 people working there, that's just ridiculous. No wonder WayForward still isn't seen as anything more than "that indie studio that has some cute girl games"

>>still a 2D metroidvania
why would you want it to be anything else.
other than a porn game by Seismic

If they're all genies, then who are the "seven sirens"?

The bosses,
the plant boss is called Water Lily Siren.
Which means atleast 6 new cute monster girls.

because the market has become too over-saturated with metroidvanias and this game does nothing to really stand out

>still a 2D metroidvaina
Fuck man..... it’s like main series games rarely change formulas....... especially niche series....... fuck man we’ve been owned

Hgh was pretty easy as shit, I hope this game brings some challenge in it, and I hope they make actual puzzles unlike the mouse mazes in Hgh.
I'm glad transformations are being limited this time, Hgh just had way too many one and done transformations. I also hope they add way more mini-games, or at least something that will make me want to keep playing after i beat the game apart from trying to 100% it. The new renders are cool and the new HUD, while looking a tad bit boring, doesn't look awful. I also hope the story isn't predictable and continues the lore that Pirate's Curse started. I do like how much faster Shantae looks in the game, and instant transformations is going to save so much god damn time. The music being 16 bit isn't that great to me, and i hope it's only for that dungeon. I could care less about the sprites being reused if only they corrected the colors on them so it looked closer to the actual artstyle their using for Seven Sirens. and Risky's sprite still has yellow eyes. lol.

It's not really a Metroidvania, more of a platformer with some light exploration elements.
Really it's moresimilar to Zelda 2 than Metroid, especially the first game with it's several towns.

Something like Treasure Adventure Game/World but with a higher budget.

>Shantae straight up murdered this QT
Who's the real monster?

the design is more anime than I remember

You do realize that thanks to people like you horrible shit happens to series, for instance HGH was them making a change to be more platform heavily and less metroidvaina, you’re the reason HGH exist

maybe studio trigger did more for them than just the intro movie?

because wayforward is literally a shovelware studio and the only appeal of their games is fanservice

I don't know... maybe shit like a 3D game or maybe flesh out how combat works in this game instead of using the exact same shit you did on the Game Boy Color or maybe do literally anything outside of just doing the exact same shit every single time. Even niche as hell games change aspects of their series from time to time to show how they've evolved, this franchise has barely changed from how it played 17 years ago.

no the art is still the people who did HGH's art(just different style), and the cutscenes are being done by in house WayForward animators

>Also don't forget that the literal only reason Shantae is a girl is because Bozon wanted representation for women
Dude what the fuck. You have no idea what you're talking. Bozon didn't even create Shantae. His wife did and for none of the reasons you listed. What's your goal here really?

>repeat this game over with a costume
But the costumes had different abilities and were basically new characters. HGH is good, just not much of a Shantae game. Not sure why you people come to post here when you don't like the games. You can always shitpost a console war or MH thread.

I'm pretty sure Matt said they'd never make a 3d Shantae game, mainly because you wouldn't be able to see her from behind because of her hair

he and his wife did, and when the publishers said that people weren't going to buy a game with a female lead and they should include a character for the boys to play as, he said that she HAS to be a women

wow, this looks like an old flash game

His wife came up with the visual design of Shantae on her own, having been inspired by someone she met. She also came up with the belly dancing animal thing on her own. Then they discussed the ideas together and tried to flesh out how one could make a videogame out of it.
Neither of them did it because Shantae could add to female representation or anything like that. Seriously user, what's your issue?

And truth remains that they both want her to be sexy. They like that Shantae is a girl but that's unrelated to all your crap.

the problem with shantae is the transformations themselves
most metroidvania games make your upgrades things that change your core moveset so that by the end of the game you can have more fluid platforming and tighter puzzles
shantae's base moveset is pretty much the exact same at the end of the game as it is at the start except she gets animals for puzzles
there's a reason pirate's curse is the best actual game

Watch the video, transformations are instant now, for certain maneuvers only.

But the transformation abilities are basically part of her moveset now. You have to use the dash ability in order to transform into Newt.

still was a 2D platformer that played exactly like the old games, but just didn't have an interconnected world

Zapple is my apple.

Looks better than Half Genie Hero, at least.

What you mean is that it controlled similar to the old games.
It didn't have puzzles or dungeons, it was a pure platformer, with some very light and watered down exploration.

how shantae controlled is still nearly exactly how she controls in RR, but they made the game a platformer instead.

Yeah the level esign was very different and much more linear, which made replaying levels even with new power ups less enjoyable.

Flash tier game hyped by tits and ass. You'll find better games on old cartoon network flash games.

I don't think it looks boring. Half Genie Hero was boring garbage. This looks more like a Pirate's Curse sort of entry.

Every single Shantae game except HGH had combat rooms. That being said only GBC had great ones, because while the monsters might've been the same, the terrain was different, altering the fight. Hopefully since of the wetmen fights has a more confined space, they will do that again.

I'm feeling positive about this game thus far.

I've seen more engaging gameplay in Alfred Chicken.

what a funny joke rockcock64, you forgot to bet for money in a layer of irony

>chubby shantae
hot

That honestly wasn't even a joke.
Some SNES shovelware platformer genuinely looks more engaging than this.

I bought the last game (1/2 Genie Hero) on switch. Loved the graphics and combat, but the constant running around from level to level to level just seemed annoying and busy work to keep you playing. There were several points where I just didn't know what to do or where to go. Had to sift through a lot of youtube videos to figure out what to do and how to solve puzzles. I absolutely HATE puzzles in platform game.

After I beat the main story and Risky's quest I had no desire to play it every again, even with the bikini costume, which they fucked up by making you grab sunscreen items constantly or you 'burn' and take damgage. Essentially turning the game into speedrun mode.

Fuck that. The only way I'll by this one is if it oozes fan service, and it better be good goddamn fan service, like Shanta, Sky, Risky, and Rotty joining in a all-girl lesbian orgy with strapons, DPs, and ass worship.

It's just cause it's slower and more dungeon oriented. Pirate's Curse made you go FUCK fast, especially once you got the scimitar, and areas were fairly small.

Even the music reflects this, instead of rave-like music, it's much more subdued.

The new Fusion Coin shit seems almost like it's BUILT for her to work in Smash.

One of the biggest issues with the idea of her in Smash is that one of her defining features, the transformations, are so slow to pull off.
But now, conveniently in the newest game they've clearly been working on for a while now, she has instant transformation moves that do a single effect then turn her back to normal. Exaclty the kinda shit they'd give her in Smash as specials.

Like, it's 99.99% just a coincidence, but I still hold the embers of hope in my heart that she'll get in and this shit just seems tailor made for it.

Theyre just making the same damn game again
Pirates curse went right just because they decided to embrace making the games more like castlevania while sticking to a better established artstyle

I never liked the new animations and sprites when shantae stopped being pixel art, lost a lot of its charm. It went from rounded and shaded to weirdly angular and snappy with extra tween. I'm also not sure why they keep switching the portrait art/artist, they hit their stride with PC but its been pretty meh since then. At least if kaufmans working on it we have the soundtrack to look forward to

Shantae has a history of killing the innocents. She doesn't need a reason.

the ending clear theme REALLY reminds me of scott pilgrim era chiptune shit.

At this point it doesn't matter whether she gets i or not because the sheer possibility of her getting in has given her such a boost in popularity that she's now the flagship for Wayforward and one of the most recognizable indie series out there. Either way I win faggots.

But will we get a pole dancing mini game?

>double saving
How you can tell somebody actually plays video games.

Also, I'm trying not to judge it too harshly based on what is probably the first dungeon. And probably an alpha/demo example of gameplay, rather than a full dungeon design. The first dungeon in the other games were more complex, while this seems incredibly linear. Sure, it loops on itself after the Risky fight, but there's never really any branching path to choose.

The instant transformation is an interesting change. Looks like she can still dance anyways, so no clue what that's used for now. Boomerang seems OP, especially since the cannonball goes away after one hit while they stay on the screen for longer. Cute characters in the game, though.

Water Lily Siren is blessed botanic beauty.

I hope we get more art like the picture where she has Shantae in her vines involving the other girls like Sky, Risky, and the other half-genies.

It could still happen. A lot of these demos will only show the first phase of a boss fight. Not saying that will necessarily be the case, but it's possible she'll have more than just the one phase in the game.

I'm surprised by how cheap it looks
how does such an old studio come up with this? it looks like one of these fangames made by a single person
take a look at any other indie, like hollow knight, they look miles better than this and it's people with less experience and money

remember that shitty bat transformation that was trivialized by the harpy and then the bat had this shitty sonar powerup literally used in 1 room in the entire game?

At least it doesn't have that god-awful chibi shit on the artstyle, only on the sprites.

>The only reason she made a comeback to begin with is because people were horny for her gbc sprites.
Literally nobody knew or cared about Shantae, not even when Risky's Revenge came out on the DSi.

Shantae only took off when the original game was ported to the 3DS VC and Pirate's Curse came out.

If you wanted to do something fun with Shantae, you could have hair that can launch and bounce off walls for angled shots, use it as a grappling hook to swing, or a helicopter Rayman style, anything.

Or make the dancing like playing a song really fast like in oot, or have a dance contest?? I just wish they would try SOMETHING and capitalize on it, fucks sake.

What. Which part of Pirate's Curse let you travel between worlds? Because I always needed to use the ship to get from one world to the next; it was one of the parts I didn't really like from that game.

Something about the art style looks shit to me. Can't really describe it, but if I had to pick one word it would be "empty"

Shantae has always been a boring series with nothing remarkable about it except for the cute girls.

Because Shantae games have always been boring

Someone asked who the siren's were and they said, "Well, there's seven girls in this pic besides Shantae..."
So they implied it, but the first boss having Siren in it's name implies that it'll be the bosses, and the genies will just teach you new transformations like in the first game.

Can somebody tell me the top 3 must play shantae games and which order to play them in preferably?

There's only four Shantae games currently out:
>Shantae, the original on GBC
>Shantae: Risky's Revenge
>Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
>Shantae: Half Genie Hero

I'd recommend just playing them in order. Start with Risky's Revenge if you are against playing a GBC game, though. They're all fairly good and still playable. The main issue is that the games originally started with a big connected world with dungeon diving, and started to become more and more stage-focused with later titles.

>atleast seven new cute monster girls
There's only three or four new girls. The other sirens are just Sky, Risky and Rottytops.

The sirens are the bosses, not the genies.

>four new girls are four of the sirens
>Sky, Risky, and Rotty are the other three

GBC and Pirate's Curse were genuinely decent games. I have no idea what happened with the rest.

Thanks for the info. I'm probably gonna start with half genie hero and work my way back if I enjoy it
