I've never played a Castlevania game, so I won't comment on the gameplay here.
But, visually, this is a mess. The animations are just awful.

But, visually, this is a mess. The animations are just awful.
speaking as a backer, considering where this game is in development, I'm happy with what I'm seeing. Some of the animations and textures are still rough, but we are still only looking at a beta build.
? I'm not really seeing anything abbormally bad about them. What do you think makes them awful?
Yeah thats what they promised.
my guess is that he's referring to some of the enemy animations. the tentacle monster is definitely a little rough. however the animations on the Knight are spot on.
Anyone notice all the bosses thus far have been female?
My dick likes.
Played the boat level and it was fucking terrible. This game has no hope. People who work on this have no talent.
Who's this semen demon?
my guess is that the boss is a reference to a French noblewoman that kidnapped and killed young girls to bathe in their blood to obtain eternal youth.
I'm loving so far what I'm seeing, but the animation where the big bell falls looks awful. They could also speed up Miriam's animations. I know her speed is almost the same as Alucard's in SotN, but the game would feel a lot better if she were faster.
Other than that, I'm liking it so far. The bosses are 100% waifu material; that titty monster in the first demo was hot.
CV Monster Girls have always held a special place jn my heart. Here's hoping Bloodstained continues the tradition.
I really like the umbrella gimmick, too
Elizabeth Bathory
Seems like a fair bet
This, I like this.
Shame the main girl is Shanoa but less cute instead of Shanoa but more cute though.
The bell does look rough, kinda of looks like they haven't lit/textures the pieces. I assume they'll get around to that.
If this is really a CV game, I expect Miriam to pick up some movement abilities later on, too.
Shanoa is max cute user
They couldn't go up, so they had to try to go sideways
Yeah, that semen demon's voice is hot.
"Buroddo Rein"
"Buroddo Steal"
Hnngg mah dick!
It's sad, this game actually looks pretty good, but it had the unfortunate luck of coming after MN9 and YL, so everyone is gonna shit on it out fear of being betrayed again.
I want this too.
I feel like Sup Forums just wants another TORtanic / MN9 laugh track but so far this looks exactly like what they promised and what I expected.
Bathory was Hungarian.
that jump animation, ugh
that being said im going to play the fuck out of this just so long as the controls dont suck
The bell actually looks fine, its just that the trailer is very misleading about it.
The bell isn't actually breaking apart, but instead destroying pile of stones that were blocking off a path.
Oh, so that's how it was. Nevertheless, that animation needs more polishing.
I'll still play it though, I hope IGA doesn't fuck the story up.
That explains that mess
I don't know how people think the game looks great, some areas look good, some look bad. In the end I'm sure I'll love it.
What's wrong with it?
I'm more worried about atmosphere than story
>I hope IGA doesn't fuck the story up
Please, there isn't a single Castlevania game with a good story.
Same OP.
Controls, atmosphere and animations. Thats what I'm worried about most.
Isn't it made in Unity? All Unity games usually suck in terms of controls and animations.
I'm afraid that it will just feel like shit when playing.
At least post the video with actual content.
youtube.com
They probably should consider some filters or something, the palette just feels like it's ignoring color theory completely.
I mean there was a demo. There's going to be another one.
I had no problem with the controls, felt like symphony to me. Kick was maybe a bit odd.
>Isn't it made in Unity?
They're using UE4.
why does Miriam kill the qutie, anyway?
Lords of Shadow1?
circle of the moon?
I don't know, what I'm saying is that I hope the story is at least decent and not a mess like in LoS2.
Order of Ecclesia was rad, this reminds me of that.
Jealousy.
cant wait for this game desu
I've actually never played any Castlevanias apart from the one on N64 and Castlevania on SNES (IV I believe?). I actually didn't like Super Castlevania on SNES though. C64 was okay, nothing special.
This game will thus be very fresh to me and since I haven't played any of the previous masterpieces I know I won't be let down. Just by looking at this game it looks really nice to me. Can't wait.
Only criticism I have is that the run speed is slightly slow and the jump is a bit floaty but it still doesn't look outright bad. Looks like one of those things that when you play you'll probably get used to the pace and appreciate it for what it is. Really can't wait to play this game omfg.
how else to defeat
?
Next update vid will be director Shutaro Iida (Curry the kid). Send him questions/suggestions and they will be answered.
@swordorwhip #AskCurry
Have sex with her.
>no one's sending him any suggestions
twitter.com
LOL!
Ouch
You could fix that by sending him some. I can't think of anything.
We better be getting another E3 demo this year.
>2018 release date
BLOOD ART TECHNIQUE
>deeeeeeeeeeh it look slow
Best way to spot a faggot who never played a Castlevania game before.
Soma moves faster
Charlotte and Jonathan move faster
Shanoa mvoes faster
It only appears that way because the screensize is so much smaller.
No, compare their jumps. Shanoa takes less time to complete a jump.
>You could fix that by sending him some
I'm not a backer and I don't care enough about the game to bother making a twitter account for that. They should fix the obvious problems before asking for feedback.
Anyone have a twitter? I don't have one.
Ask him if he's played Dark Souls.
>I've actually never played any Castlevanias
What the fuck is wrong with you?
So she is like Soma+Shanoa?
+moe
Afraid of showing some wit in your response?
Barely looks different, if at all.
I don't know what you're talking about, m8.
>I'm comparing this game's animations and SoTN's, they look very close to each other.
Fanboys are on the rage once again. Everything other than the visuals look okay, not great but okay.
Who are you quoting?
Youtube comments frothing at the mount at the sight of criticism.
>tfw gameplay looks like exactly what you want but art direction is shit
looks cute but i wish it wasnt in slowmotion
its like lords of the fallen again
Sup Forums is actually defending this
The environment looks weirdly inconsistent with whatever the fuck the MC was called. She has this somewhat shaded look going on while everything else is plain 3D. I don't really like it.
Everything looks great, including the visuals, but you can feel free to keep memeing it up.
The combat looks decent but the running and jumping animations looks like ASS
Mmm... I just fucking love 2D unity games. Really gives me that cheap feel...
>Not noticing the full second difference
It's BETA, Fool!
Bathory is Swedish
Vepar, that titty monster, is actually a male.
This isn't lolgender shit, that's how he is depicted in the Ars Goetia.
Those movement animations are practically 1:1 with how they'd look in a sprite-based Castlevania.
Can't say I'm a fan. Looks slow and floaty.
I'm surprised people think this shit looks even halfway decent. It's like they play nothing but Senran Kagura and shoestring budget anime RPGs.
If you're talking about the short hopping then you can do that in both SotN and Bloodstained, full jumps are pretty identical in all of the Metroidvanias.
Miriam full jump = around 3 seconds
Shanoa full jump = around 2 seconds.
>Those movement animations are practically 1:1 with how they'd look in a sprite-based Castlevania.
And that's why they're perfect, it feels like an IGAvania.
at least Japan continue's to give us colorful interesting shit. most of the western games I've seen at e3 so far have been so forgettable looking
>IGAvania
Where's the lighting?
You weebs will eat shit as long as it's anime
What? Its the proper term, Metroidvania is for the genre in general, IGAvania is specifically for Castlevanias like SotN, AoS, DoS, etc.
>What? Its the proper term,
>Metroidvania is for the genre in general,
Japanese call them Side scrolling 2D Exploration action games.
lighting/shadows need quite some work, that's the biggest complaint i have so far, everything else looks good to me
This.
Shit looks out of place like in Fallout 4.
The trailer left me lukewarm but seeing the actual gameplay got me pumped as fuck. The systems look super fun. The trailer really doesn't get that across well.
I also love how the boss's dress slowly chips away (since it's made of blood) throughout the fight and that you use her own umbrellas to avoid the blood rain. It's just full great little details.
Who is doing the voice for Miriam?
You're talking out your ass, I just tested both full jumps and timed it, they both finished in about 1 second.
Wrong things, such as the marble platforms are attracting too much attention from the eye, when they're no more significant than any other platforms.
I really hope they fix the colors in general. Gameplay looks mostly fine, though animation lack that "tightness" where they act like an elastic rubber with clear key frames.
Meh. Dariusburst Chronicle Saviors came out on Steam for $60 in late 2015 and was an upscaled PSP game. Also Raiden V in 2016 for $60 on Xbox One.
This is all I expect from Japan now.
That sure rolls right off the tongue.
Just call them Tansaku.
It doesn't matter what the Japs call them, Metroidvania is the unofficial official term for the genre.
Gay buzzword for turbo niggers.
Graphical issues aside, that actually looks like a really fun boss fight.
You could make the ugliest game in the world but if it plays smooth and the fights are inventive and challenging, I'll still love it. Iga is our last, best hope.

Ok, the floor texture looks bad and fits poorly in the environment, but in the concept art the floor is basically a steel mirror with no texture at all so who cares. The curtains also need a shader effect to look translucent. Otherwise the screenshot looks pretty good
>I have to call things by different terms than everyone else so I can feel special!
Isn't this made by Inafune's team? Why would I trust this?
YL was good.
This meme needs to stop.
