Redogan Yeah that's why I'm considering VR. If I bought a new tv I would also want it to be a 90". My 65" was top of the line at the time I bought it, but costs haven't scaled favorably at all with these new 4k tv's. The prices are astronomical now. I refuse to buy a 4k tv. If VR tech isn't up to my expectations in 2018, I'll just play Bloodstained on my current tv. 1080p is still really nice on a 65".

I might play Bloodstained on my 65" HDTV. I've had it since 2012, so one might think I would want to upgrade to 4k if the game supports it, but VR is on the cusp of making a stronghold for hardcore gaming. By the time Bloodstained is out there might be a really powerful VR headset. For those who don't know, there are already apps for VR that simulate a theatre sized screen for existing 2D games and movies with various screen sizes and distance, so I will be able to simulate having a 100", 200" screen at a fraction of the cost. That's my plan: Buy a VR headset if it is good enough. What's your plan?

Yes, Alfred had explosive diahrrea that day and didn't have time to change his robes before the artwork was done. #Brownstained Hah, you and your wild imagination. Nah, he's just giving his best "You think I'm just a hobo, but I will show you you can't judge a book by its cover". It it sure is a damaged-looking book we got there. Off-topic, but I finally found where the "Miriam's lap for a good rest" picture comes from. Well done, well done. Yes, the same place I expect the Dominique bust pillow and the Vepar inflatable gel chair to come from.

I was hoping they would do the bath for Miriam, but I can see why it had to be abandoned. Same with the other weapons and enemies. The weapon with the luck attribute will be fun to have. I think the vampire was your best enemy idea, so glad they are doing that for you.

So, to perhaps keep the discussion going, something else I noticed about the update that I don't think anyone has called attention to yet is that Dominique and Anne had several profile shots that showed them from the front, sides and back. Alfred, for some reason, does not have concept art in the update showing what he looks like from behind like the others do. Would having shown us this tell us something more than they were willing to say about his design or motive, or did they leave it out unintentionally or because they didn't feel it was as interesting? Can't say, but some possibilities did hit me with that. Yes, Alfred had explosive diahrrea that day and didn't have time to change his robes before the artwork was done. #Brownstained

I'd like them to do whatever the hell they want. I believe they are pretty much doing that in the first place.

I'll one-up you. We need full on 8k VR with Smell-O-Vision. You'd better turn it off when you enter less than cheerful parts like the cellar, the moats and the demon ummm... cafeteria (I'm certain human/animal sacrifices would be involved). By then I will be noseblind from having spilled demon guts all around the castle. The contents of their bowels would fare just as bad.

We need B: RotN at 144 frames per second / 4K resolution. I'll one-up you. We need full on 8k VR with Smell-O-Vision.

Since Bloodstained will be on the PC, which is always more powerful than a console, I'd guess there is a good chance Bloodstained could utilize the power of Scorpio and PS4 Pro. I believe the game is already set to run at 1080p and 60 FPS anyway on the base consoles.

I have more or less the same reason as chocolatestain . In most games, i prefer to play as a female character for eye candy reasons. That includes MMOs by the way Then you can relate to this: The one MMO demo I tried included a 3rd person view and a weight slider, so I made my character with the curves of a pornstar and had to ignore people from the get go.

I've never discussed male or female character selections with my friends for more than a second, so it's interesting to read other peoples thoughts. Mine differ in that first person games I always chose a male character. In third person games I will choose a female if she looks hot so I have some eye candy. Third person isn't roleplaying for me. Other than that, if there is only one character in the game it doesn't matter to me. I choose based on the entire game.

The brand new enemies and music added into the mix made the inverted castle more unique than just a simple flip. Considering how ambitious this game is, I'm really sure that we won't leave the game without being satisfied. Either it will be some unique variation of the castle they are currently building, or simply the biggest castle to end all castles. Every Igavania style Castlevania delivered in one way or another. Bringing it all to the big screen is what I'm most happy about. The GBA and DS games were good, but I had always wished it would go back to the TV. Way too much of Final Toccata, though. I really wished to rush towards the Final Boss just bec ause of that.
I'm still very intrigued on what sort of elements we could get in Gebel's Castle (and about nothing was unveiled regarding that yet, besides the procedural generation update bit)
Me too. Each of the last 3 screenshots I've seen inside the castle I can see that they've been tweaking them a ton. They look so nice I'll be wanting to play it in VR.

I remember buying SOTN from Electronic Boutique back in the day. I bought the PS version and the stragety book a few days later. I didn't know that I had to wear the gold ring and silver ring to get the holly glasses before fighting Richter. I have the game install on my PS3, Xbox one and is also in my PSP game Dracula x game. Still after 20 years I still play the game when everything new gets old and this game never gets old. I also bought it from Electronics Boutique. At the time I was really into 3D games and game magazines. Playstation Magazine gave it 'game of the year' and I scoffed at the idea, but decided to keep an open mind. I also play it every few years or so.

Ixbran you sound quite oversensitive about this. Good thing you tried to calm yourself down with puppies. Stay chill. It's not a big deal at all.

I voted "no" because there's no third option for something like "maybe/other/wait and see." I'd be okay with Dominique as playable character and I'm glad there's enthusiasm for her, but I'd rather see Johannes, Zangetsu, or Gebel playable because it looks like they'd have play styles I'd enjoy more. That's a good point. Besides that, I think the characters that are playable might already be a forgone conclusion that we'll have no choice in.

This was a great update. I was looking forward to new characters! Everyone's mentioning the Baldwin family from COTM and how they hope she's playable, but the first thing I thought of when I read Dominique Baldwin's name was this moment from the South Park movie. As for the character herself, I like her poofy hat, how she's nice to everyone, and how she still views Miriam and Gebel as human... but I also have a feeling her trusting nature will cause something tragic/bad to happen during Bloodstained. It'll be interesting to see where Bloodstained goes with Alfred. His ragged robes and lifeless pale skin makes me think he's got something to hide. I'm also looking forward to see if there's any interactions with him and Zangetsu since they were both involved with summoning demons/the demon war in different ways. Anne reminds me of Maria from Rondo of Blood. I also have a feeling that the village mentioned in her description is the same one that was shown off in the game a few updates ago. I hope there's some fun interactions with her running the shop. I like her poofy chest and curves. Didn't even notice the hat.

Dominique is gorgeous. It would be cool if she was a playable character. It's said that Anne Knowles takes care of the shop when Dominique isn't there, so it's definitely a possibility.
I also liked IGA's answers on some enemies being similar to mini bosses, 3D and am most excited about their next public showing; probably E3.

The problem I have as I stated is there's no other way to do a second castle where it won't feel like repeating the same thing you just did. SOTN's was unique because at least the layout felt completely different as it was flipped on it's head. Any other idea would essentially be going into the same kind of castle but with a special visual effect tacked on. That's my only concern. For me it's like...either come up with something that really changes your trek through the castle or just focus on doing ONE great castle. Hell, if the castle is well designed it won't bother me one bit if there's no extra area. The brand new enemies and music added into the mix made the inverted castle more unique than just a simple flip. Considering how ambitious this game is, I'm really sure that we won't leave the game without being satisfied. Either it will be some unique variation of the castle they are currently building, or simply the biggest castle to end all castles. Every Igavania style Castlevania delivered in one way or another.
