I sense some double standards here where Dark Souls isn't an edgy grimdark series for Sup Forumsirgins that like to think they aren't fedora tipping betas but deep down they know that's exactly who they are and the games they play.
But no lets call out this game for it.

>edgy is bad
meme needs to stop
it seems to be based around christianity
>people keep giving money to kikestarter projects that don't have a demo
Fucking retards will never learn.
>souls mixed with bloodborne
What did he mean by this?
>it seems to be based around christianity
It uses iconography similar to Christianity, Catholicism specifically, but the god figures are lovecraftian monsters. Looks cool.
Looks great, but i really hate castlevanias/zelda clones. They could try to come up with different enemies instead of resorting to the ones we are used to.
The big monsters look shitty. Pixel art only works on small characters, if you're including larger stuff they should be made of animated parts else it becomes obvious how choppy the animation is.
Wow, that art looks good. Thanks for the heads up, OP, I'm definitely backing it.
Castlevania rip-off?
Looks good tho.
>dark souls invented grim and gothic fantasy
>bloodborne invented blood and visceral visuals
fuck off. you are the absolute lowest common denominator
you're also delusional if you don't think bloodborne is super edgy already
There needs to be more action-horror game, I think that might be my favourite genre now.
I'd unironically buy this because sometimes I'm in the mood for the edgiest shit possible desu
It looks cool though
Are we not allowed to like grimdark gory things here?
So are Lovecraft and silent Hill now Grim dark sickdark edgy shit for kids now? Just because something has a dark aesthetic and is gory or bloody doesn't make it edgy, and even if it is edgy there's literally nothing wrong with that
looks fine to me, would play
just because it incorporates imagery from Pietà?
that is one of the single most iconic pieces of art, and among the most beautiful imo.
besides, we only saw some candles and generic church iconography and an angel statue.
saying it's christian is like saying DS3 is christian for the Cathedrals and angels present in it
The soulsborne series really fucked up any future action RPG game's chances of not being called a clone, huh?
>Bloodborne but everything is metal album art
Seems cool
>action RPG
I don't think anyone is going to call TESVI a Souls clone.
Nice job trying to act smart but the kid has a crown of thorns you fucking faggot.
Is that Laurence?
1 i doubt you've read anything by lovecraft. how can you even compare his writing to this game?
2 what do you do in silent hill compares to the grotesque acts of violence shown in the kickstarter video? let me remind you, in one scene it shows the player character grab the head of a human enemy, and hack repeatedly away at its neck with his sword until he decapitates them.
Now that's a 10 dollar sentence.
he also has a 3 foot corkscrew on top of his head and a greek drama mask. so what?
It's not that edgy, stop being a sissy
Looks amazing.
Would buy it upor realise
>if something is edgy then is bad!!!11!!1!
This fucking meme need to die along with the people who believe It
What's your problem kiddos, are you afraid of darkness? Then go back to your pretty and faggy games like LoL
I never went to school like the retard i am
Nobody thinks that looks like Laurence The First Vicar?
So shut the fuck up and admit you are wrong and just wanted to spout the word Pietà kickstarter.com
Art looks good, hopefully the gameplay and map won't be as shit as salt and sanctuary was.
The planned launch is in 2019
Come back in at least a year and we can discuss it
It looks good but that's not saying much at this stage
tfw it is what is
I already made that post, cakeboy.

>Are we not allowed to like grimdark gory things here?
No.
Teenagers around here are trying too hard to be mature and scoff at gore.
HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!
I like the look, where's the gameplay though?

Soulsfag here, I welcome any and all clones.
Contrarianfags can fuck off LOL
>Souls mixed with bloodborn
???
>soulsborne isnt edgy
...
There's also a big difference between grimdark edgy and things like say Hatred. Which was school shooter-edgy, not that fun of a game to begin with, and nothing else really cool about it. But being edgy doesn't make it a bad game. I gave it a shot, didn't find it that fun. The edginess in that game comes off like some random kid made a game and is made about not having a girlfriend kind of thing. This on the other hand has really cool art and themes in a more traditional way for the edginess which is more my jam.
>Hurr every dark fantasy game is edgy souls copy
The art looks absolutely fantastic.
Probably not going to back it since I'm wary of kickstarter scams, but I will buy it day 1 when it comes out.
I don't know what the problem is.
This game looks metal as fuck.
You can't make fun of games for being edgy and then post a fucking iDubbbz clip. Get a clue, nerd.
>No marios
>no pastel colors
>no family friendly
Wtf is this edgy shit? Probably just for mature gamers such as yourself. This game lacks comfy, this game lacks fun.
Try reading the actual campaign description instead of the backer rewards.
You made this thread yesterday and It also fell flat on it's face.
It's nothing like darksouls or bloodborne other than aesthetic. You only have one weapon/armor from the looks of things and no customization options or defined system of combat other than standard platforming.
Are you retarded and or blind?
Why do half the kickstarters do this. Does stringing together assets you have already made for the main game for a boss rush mode really cost $5k-$15k?
>PC ucks so mad they can't play Bloodborne they try to clone it
>All PC devs can make is 2D pixel indie shit
LOL
>mirror knight helmet
>black leather chest
>hard leather gloves
>knight leggings
damn good fashion souls right there.
This so much times.
If it is edgy because yes, shit will look not inspired precisely and the essence of the game will be "killing people cuz is fun xdxdxxd"
But c'mon, looks like this guys have put effort on it.
Btw Im from Spain, and I can assure you that they just copy-paste aesthetic from our churches, so the Spanish Catolicism is edgy, not the game based on it.
This game looks comfy as fuck, what a4e you talking about you filthy memer
Actually, I just found out about this today.
I was too busy shitting on Mario x Rabbids like everyone else was yesterday.
>You made this thread yesterday and It also fell flat on it's face.
Well considering the game was less than half funded yesterday and is now already half way towards its first stretch goal, I'd say the OP's efforts weren't in vain.
Holy shit, will the barrage of 2d indie games ever end? At first it was really nice, but holy shit...
So, uh, Salt and Sanctuary 2?
It's amazing how you idiots translate that concept into meaning it actually costs them money to do that.
Whats edgy about dark souls for you my friend? There is no gore or blood in the game at all, you don't even kill people in it, its as subtle as a dark fantasy setting can get. Or skeletons are too "edgy" for you? Or maybe you really havent even touched the games?
>2019
holy fuck
TES already has a stamina bar and set in a fantasy setting, the idea of Bethesda getting in on the Souls meme train isn't too farfetched.
i'm completely convinced you didnt' even visit that page. they say nothing about christ, christianity or catholicism.
they say:
>In Blasphemous, we’ve set ourselves an artistic challenge: Can we create a dark fantasy world that is universally appealing, but also deeply inspired by the most meaningful icons of our local folklore? If you play Blasphemous, chances are that you may want to visit the city of Seville (Spain) in the future, to see the locations, traditions and culture that inspired the game.
They take imagery from christian inspiration, and a lot of other shit, if you have the eyes to look at the gameplay footage.
>[you] just wanted to spout the word Pietà
lmaoing at your ignorance, plebe. grow up and go outside once in your life. maybe you'll better yourself
Got sick of it years ago, surprised to see so many still meet their goals, even if the goals are a lot smaller now.
It's based around blasphemy you mongrel, it's blasphemous, unholy imagery, perversion and insult of religion. It's not based "around" it, it's based on perversing it.
And no, I'm not a christian.
Then why bar it behind a paywall? They seem to have the idea to want to do this, but will they not if they don't get their $60k goal?
Welp the shilling worked, that fucking game was at $5000 yesterday
I doubt this will even come out to be honest.
Literally the only Indie "Souls" game that has come out from Kickstarter is Salt & Sanctuary. Even shit that was funded years ago is still unreleased. Like Eitr, or that other 2D sidescroller "souls" game
Well, for people living in Sevilla obviosuly christianity and holy week is going to be a huge inspiration. But other than that, is not about christianity, in the same fashion that any fantastic world with elves and orcs is not the middle earth.
t. knows nothing about software design
t. probably knows nothing about any work
> kickstarter
> super edgy hardcore
Looks familiar to me.
It's called an incentive for people to give more money.
Looks is one thing.
Being able to feel like a action-paced RPG like Bloodborne is another thing entierly when it comes to 2D games.
They don't have the movement freedom of 3D.
wow look it's the reply taking issue with my image that I was wholly anticipating
>You can't make fun of games for being edgy
what part of that did you perceive as "making fun of"? because I definitely did not express any kind of problem with edgy material.
It's a way to make more money. How much money does it cost to a person to serve you a coffee vs how much actually cost the coffee. I wouldn't spend 2-3 weeks programming the boss rush if i'm going to get nothing for it.
The "everything must be EDGY and GRIMDARK" meme needs to stop.
Why do people keep comparing it to Souls/Bloodborne? There's nothing stating it's anything like those games, so I don't understand the comparison. If anything it's like a Castlevania game.
They probably are after castlevania style. Play some Sotn
more like
>let's make castlevania but worse
>everything
name 10 things this year that went for the edgy and grimdark meme
but first, define what it means to be "edgy" or "grimdark"
Because people have wanted a 2D style Darksoul/Bloodborne game for awhile now and the first to get the formula right makes $$$?
Shut the fuck up, there's not any more 'edgy' games than there's ever been.
so what should every game be? sunshine, lollipops and rainbows?
What's your point? This game clearly isn't anything like those games. Also Salt & Sanctuary already did that.
Well that's the thing, I highly doubt it takes anyone in any game 2-3 weeks to code a boss rush. Majority of the work, the bosses, are already done for you.
if it has swords, guns, any kind of weapons and the gameplay revolves around killing, its edgy and grimdark.
the only thing edgy about dark souls are it's players
>Evocative narrative: Blasphemous’ levels are not just platforms; they tell a story to those who are interested, but don't get in the way if you just want the action.
From the Kickstarter they are certainly trying to sell a game to fans of the souls series.
There's a lot more that goes into anything than just slapping assets together. 80% of games is often just bug fixing shit that shouldn't be messing up.
>1 i doubt you've read anything by lovecraft. how can you even compare his writing to this game?
Not the guy you were replying too, but his writings often feature huge monsters, worshipped as gods, intruding into our reality from some place beyond.
Ghostbusters is referred to as lovecraftian due to featuring an alien god who wishes to destroy civilization, but can only enter our world after a gate is opened via a particular ritual.
looks cool
I hate when games doesn't use proper blacks, and instead use different shades of brown or gray
it is like the gamma is borked
Nah, I could code a boss-rush mode in probably a half hour if I was motivated. It's basically just creating a new level, copying the boss rooms over, removing some scripting at the beginning and end of each boss fight, and then putting a link to that level from the menu with some conditionals that make the menu option only appear after you beat the game. EZ PZ, but you've obviously never worked on a video game, so you're talking out your ass to people that have.
FUCK THIS GAME
Is it better now? I've done a refund back in the days
They reworked it.
Are you implying Souls invented environmental storytelling
Making and testing a code that essentially says, "Kill 1, move to/spawn 2, and so on" takes two dedicated weeks and $10,000, or $85/hr for 60hr/wk does not seem reasonable in any sense of the word
