So, lets summarize: MML isn't a TPS, RA is supposed to be, ergo they will have different gameplay. Said gameplay isn't properly described and defined within the genre and as such is nothing more than a vague idea for the (possible) backer. Well, here's how the Kickstarter itself defines the game: "RED ASH is a 3D action adventure game with third person shooter elements. One of the main goals behind the project is to inject more modern design elements into the classic action adventure RPG formula." So, an action adventure game with third person shooter and RPG elements... sounds a lot like Mega Man Legends to me! [Note: I have no desire to get drawn into this conflict, just clarifying things. Also, full disclosure: I'm not backing the game, not at this point in time at least. I think the best thing for this project, ironically, would be if the Kickstarter failed or was cancelled, and then they could come back in a few months after MN9 is out. Hopefully by then they'll have a bit more to show of the game than what they have now. I think then they will have no problem securing the necessary funds. But that's just IMHO.]

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, thrsher! I really hope this Kickstarter succeeds. I think it's a story that needs to be told. With this and Console Wars, it's exciting to see so many films being made nowadays about the 90s gaming scene, since most documentaries seem to focus on either the really old (70s, early 80s) or the really recent (2000-). Now we just need a movie based on Masters of Doom!

Gotta say, I'm liking Odallus so far. It's like a mixture of classic Castlevania and Igavania. Will give a more detailed impression once I finish the game.

Not sure if this qualifies, but if anyone ever wants to play a 'so bad it's good' game, definitely pick up Magus on the PS3. I swear, that game almost had my sides splitting open with laughter at its (usually unintentional) humor! Plus, it can be found cheap these days, and it's an easy and quick Platinum, for those who care about that sort of thing.

I think I have make the right choice Of not backing Shenmue.... Not that I hate it, the fanbase can be too much to handle Yeah, their fanbase does come across as pretty whiny and crybaby-ish sometimes... OK, -very- frequently...

Awww, couldn't help it! All the nice comments about IGA/Bloodstained persuaded me to back it! Granted, I didn't put -nearly- as much money into this as I did Bloodstained (not by a long shot), since I still have my concerns about this project, but putting in my $39 isn't going to kill me, even if it doesn't end up being everything we hope for. At least if it fails, I'm not out much, unlike Bloodstained (like, CDN$1000, lol).

Yup, just a matter of minutes before they surpass us. It no longer bothers me, though, because there's something I've come to realize: it's the end product that matters, not how much was raised. I have a feeling that the two games it recently beat, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Torment: Tides of Numenera, will end up being much better GAMES when they're finally released. IGA/Inti Creates and inXile Entertainment have proven that they know how to properly budget a game and deliver results, whereas with the previous Shenmue games, I think it was more of a case of SEGA just throwing lots of money at Yu Suzuki's team and hoping against hope that it would be a massive hit.
I don't know, I can't just shake this feeling that when Shenmue III finally gets released, it'll feel like an unfinished mess, that it won't be the "full Shenmue experience" even if they manage to raise 11 million dollars. I think a lot of fans are in for disappointment, which is the main reason why I withdrew my pledge after all the E3 hype had worn down. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I seem to recall there being a link to MP3 versions of Yamane and Yamada's tunes on the Kickstarter page somewhere, but I can't find them. Can somebody help me out? (Or maybe there never was a link, and my memory's playing tricks on me. That's quite possible too, lol).

Just backed. Game looks beautiful, and the world needs more Metroidvanias.

Yeah really, damned domain squatters! But in the grand scheme of things, 5k isn't that much, at least if you consider the possibility of this becoming an ongoing franchise. Probably best to suck it up now than to have to pay more once the series becomes popular and well-known.

It would appear the domain bloodstained.com has been registered, at least according to the landing page for the domain (unless I'm reading it wrong):
"The domain name bloodstained.com has been registered by NetNames."
Exciting development, or no?

Maid and catgirl (complete with cat voice) are obligatory. Zombie and ninja were good suggestions, too, especially the latter.
Beyond that, perhaps a JUSTIN BAILEY mode?
What? Stop looking at me like that!
I mean, who doesn't have a thing for pumpkin-style bloomers?
