I’m not excusing the subpar state in which the Switch version launched in but anyone who was expecting a 1:1 port to PS4/XB1 (let alone PC) were setting themselves for dissapointment.
I couldn’t my imagine the voices of regret if this game had released on Vita and/or WiiU because the game wasn’t exactly the same as on PS4.

Update from Question on discord (posted in announcements channel): "Some console info for everyone: Xbox One - Update 1.006 for Xbox One is live along with Iga’s Back Pack. Backer codes for the DLC have started being delivered today. PS4 - 1.04 will be released soon, our hope is to have this out before the holiday break and have both Xbox One and PS4 content parity across all territories. Switch - Update 1.04 is nearly complete and we expect it to go live worldwide in January. Regions currently on 1.02 (SE Asia and Korea for example) will get upgraded directly to 1.04 and will include all the improvements from 1.03." That’s as good an update as I was hoping for. I’ve been promised that PS4 1.04 update since August and now saying it’ll come in the next 5 days is a bit difficult so I’ll believe it when I see it. Hopefully by Dec 24th’s KS update we’ll have that patch out already.

]I think we know the real problem here, Aztec. You are jealous because someone out there will be throwing their leg over Miriam and waking up cuddling her each morning, and that's YOUR WAIFU. Lol. Miriam doesn’t belong to me, she belongs to the world! But not as a damn waifu. But to each their own.

The pillow is certainly NOT official and will put no money in IGA's pocket. Hmm so it’s official: there’s no redeeming qualities and i hate it. Should we even be promoting bootlegged merch from questionable sources even?

Everything looks great but I’m unreasonably ticked off by that damn waifu pillow. Miriam is a better character for not being another generic anime doormat character and that pillow doesn’t make her any favors. It’s like making a hug pillow for Metal Gear Solid 3’s The Boss.
But hey, this is just my opinion. As long as it’s official merch that goes to Iga’s pocket it’s fine I guess.

I'm just following up on the Kickstarter update you asked about like I said I would Thanks. Hopefully we hear from them soon. Iga just recently did a presentation that included Zangetsu in China, so he's talking about the game at least. thats good to hear but just like random presentations in China and random updates on Discord to the select few checking in, it’s not enough.

AztecFrom Question: "I have been wrong every time I've thought I had a delivery date since before Thanksgiving, so I hesitate to say, but it's close. It's not even that exciting an update. Just had a couple items that were changing. Just got slowed down." I’m confused as to what is this referring to? The 1.04 update for PS4? I thank you for your effort here. You’re doing so much unpaid grunt work that should be done by community managers in 505’s payroll and it doesn’t go unnoticed. At least not from me.

You can thank the subpar Switch version and the subsequent 5 months they spent prioritizing the patches to that version which clearly redirected manpower away from the rest of the promised free DLC.
I’m finding myself wishing Bloodstained didn’t come out in June and got delayed 6 months. They very obviously jumped the gun here. They were not ready.

Sure, we have that going for us but I wouldn’t call it “being ahead”. I just want acknowledgment that they’re working on this patch for PS4. Now that the big performance update for Switch and the Xbox got patched I don’t see how getting the PS4 version up to speed wouldn’t be the priority. At the Xbox front we're usually the last one to be updated, in some cases months after everyone else like how we still can't buy the iga pack So basically we got the nerfs, the thing many were against meanwhile the only thing i cared about this update was left out i get wanting to be able to play offline but aside from that and nerfs what else are you behind on at this point? Maybe PS4 was last this time but even that's questionable because our update was also incomplete much like how you mentioned yours was You mention being treated like you don't exist but most of the time Xbox is dead last while PS4 is usually one of the first to receive updates and patches Im tired of this “nerf controversy” bull crap. I donated money to this project because I have faith in Iga and company to do the right decisions designing this game and while it hasn’t been perfect I still trust that these post launch changes were done to balance (that’s a key word here) the experience. And if reducing the attack power of some elements is what it takes then so be it. Im sure this game is a better product post balance than it was before because it’ll incentivize the use of more diverse shards and some enemies that were cakewalks will now be more challenging and whatnot. If CV Symphony of the Night has been able to get post release itches I sure as hell would’ve welcomed some balance updates with, yes, some nerfs because that game, as good as it was, was anything if not unbalanced to hell and back.

PS4 is severely lagging behind the pc and Switch since the summer and now it’s behind Xbox too. You're still ahead of Xbox, we still can't buy the iga pack for some reason Sure, we have that going for us but I wouldn’t call it “being ahead”. I just want acknowledgment that they’re working on this patch for PS4. Now that the big performance update for Switch and the Xbox got patched I don’t see how getting the PS4 version up to speed wouldn’t be the priority.

It’s almost 2020, it was about time to upgrade that old 360 controller anyway. I used to have one for PC gaming since 2006 and it crapped out on me a couple of years ago. Things aren’t meant to last forever.

Hi, everyone. Update 1.0.0.6 is live on Xbox! This update brings the Xbox up to date with the other platforms,That’s not true. Most of the stuff in this Xbox patch is missing from the PS4 version whose own patch has been promised since August. Unless this was patched very recently, the PS4 is severely lagging behind the pc and Switch since the summer and now it’s behind Xbox too. Dont want to sound ungrateful, I’m genuinely happy you guys have finally pushed the performance patch on Switch and this one on Xbox but please don’t forget about us on PS4. Ever since your August Kickstarter update I’ve been waiting for it.

AztecWell, evolution is just as same as theory as creation.. this is a draw. Did you just put on the same level the scientific theory of evolution over millions and millions of years with the “everything was created in 6 days some 4,000 years ago” bullshit that even some Christian religions like Catholicism outright deny? Next thing I know you’ll say to me that round Earth is just as much a theory as flat earth and a vein in my head might pop.

Aztec still disagree btw. it can't be a lie, if it's declared as an opinion ;oP Opinions can be wrong too, they don’t shield you from everything. You can have the opinion that evolution is not true and that the Earth is flat but you’d still be wrong

Aztec Well, there aren't worlds between, but (IMHO) it's still much better on Switch. However, since it's a game based on the hole Metroidvania mechanic, not unlike our beloved IGAvania, I think that Bloodstained has the potential to be another Ori.. they only need skilled and experienced programmers. Ori Switch doesn’t play better than Ori on Xbox. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. I would concede that the parity is practically there 1:1 but to go the extra mile and say it runs better on Switch is just a lie.

AztecThis ist a point where I would like to bring in Ori. Ori plays ways better on Switch, compared to the system,that it was originaly exclussive to. Ori plays better on Switch than Bloodstained on Switch does but Ori Switch doesn’t play better than Ori on Xbox, c’mon now. Also Ori, as fantastic as it is, isn’t as taxing on hardware as Bloodstained is.

Bloodstained needed to come out in 2019 rather than 2017 irrespective of the Wii U vs Switch situation. A Wii U version in mid 2019 would not be possible, and yet somehow if it was, an objectively bad idea for its own sake and the sake of every other version. Nevermind specifically explaining about graphics. The engine the game uses doesn't run on Wii U. It struggles obviously as it is to do well on the Switch hardware. "2017 Bloodstained" was slated to be a graphically less intensive game and could have possibly run on the Wii U after Armature (or someone else) developed a plug-in to make running the engine on that hardware possible, but what we ended up getting after the game was pushed a couple of years, no. I would think they would have used a different engine for it. Oh you’re still arguing that a WiiU port of this game should’ve come out in 2019 even now? Look, Bloodstained was still a relatively low budget game. They did not have unlimited time or resources. What you’re suggesting was not only too costly but also unbelievably stupid because you’re talking about porting the game to an entirely different engine just to make it run (downgraded to hell and back I’m sure) on a console that’s been dead for over two years! Do you hear yourself at all? Games are a business and dropping the WiiU version was a business decision. And a very smart one at that even if it meant letting down all 37 backers who in 2019 were still WiiU exclusive gamers. I’d seriously would like to meet this fabled gamer who’s hardcore enough to Kickstart the spiritual successor to a niche series four years in advance of its launch but their only platform for modern gaming is a console that was replaced since 2017 and two years later hasn’t upgraded to a Switch, PS4, XB1 or a gaming PC. I’m sure they’re out there but they must be so few that sticking to that version didn’t make any financial sense and Iga knew that.

It perplexed me how something could’ve been promised for launch day then be delayed to August, then September, and now in November we’re down to TBA. Now with the bulk of the Switch fixes supposedly being out I hope they can pick up the pace with the rest of the platforms. They should had kept the WII U version instead and had the Switch version come at a later date. I would had bought the WII U version since the controller to me is alot better. Just imagine being able to see the map without pausing the game or the options to select perks. I guess someone forgot to take their head out of their rearend. It’s almost as if purifyweirdshard was a prophet. And yes he’s 100% right I’m totally going to call big f**king bullshit on your hilarious statement. Even if we could pretend, for one absolutely bonkers moment of our existentes, that the game we got could’ve run on the much weaker and not-even-Unreal4-supporting WiiU that still doesn’t address the eleph—nono, the blue whale in the room. And that whale is talking about how releasing a game for WiiU in the year of our Lord 2019 makes perfect sense. And all of that while explaining why it’s a sound idea to ignore the newer, more relevant, actually-Unreal4-supporting, and waaay more successful current Nintendo console that, you know, can still find new in stores. So no jlgo Iga and company actually did get their heads out of their asses and I know that because they cancelled the WiiU version in favor of a Switch one. Also the Vita version but that’s besides the point. PS: I only give Bloodstained somewhat of a hard time here because I love it so much and I know they can and should do better where they faltered.
