I've been playing the unreal tournament pre-alpha and the optimzation is extremely good, so based on that they should have no problems with hardware scaling on a multitude of platforms/system specs while achieving maximum IQ with no downgrading. That depends on the porting process Wii U and Vita themselves lack native unreal 4 support so Armature will have to port it into an existing unreal 4 pipeline. My guess would be that on these systems they would probably use the unreal 4 mobile framework and then adapt it to run on the hardware. Given how major the UE is (in terms of other companies using it for high budget games), I can't help but wonder if such a task would potentially provide them with more profit from redistributing their accomplishments than the game itself.

I think so too, I kinda mentioned that in the ks comments awhile back too. But felt I'd add a different pov instead of simply restate what I agreed with =)

Then when you face gebel instead of the whole mankind speech something like this happens.
Gebel: "Ahh, you've come, everything here I've done for you!" Miriam: "why was my room so cheap than". gebel: "Your room was one which I felt you should make of only your own design" Miriam: "Is that so? Why is it smaller than this one than?" Gebel: "uhh..." Miriam: "I was quite quite nearly born yesterday and I've already amassed more furnishings in it than you have over the decade!" Gebel: "Ahh, but... The castle!" Miriam: "Is obviously yours, you cheap @%@#%@#%"

hey I acknowledged it was kinda off topic, but I was bottling up the rage for ahwile now, and this was just begging for me to peep.
First off, shaders are shaders, and I don't think that just because people feel one is really good at making 3d look 2d, it is somehow magically harder on a computer than other kinds of shaders. While it's true that a game like bloodstained with multiple objects on the screen at all times would have a harder time applying shaders in general, I find it very hard to believe that xrd's shader is somehow miraculously impossible for other games to handle when there are thousands of other shaders that haven't had any problems yet. If anything, xrd's might be easier to process because they know it'll have a 2d display all the time, so it might not even BOTHER applying itself to the 'back side' of everything unlike traditional 3d shaders.
plus xrd was running on a ps3, which is near archaic at this point... the systems on bloodstained should be able to handle that easy even if the above was all false. Except the portables, which I wont get into because I have no clue about that kind of thing.

kinda off topic but I don't really like fighting games...but one of the ones I played somewhat was guilty gear and guilty gear 2 when they were new... and back when when I mentioned them, NOBODY knew them, and the few that did, thought they sucked because they were supposedly horribly balanced and venom or the pool cue guy was considered too op or something, and everyone else was imbalanced too, I don't recall... Then years later everyone is like BLAZBLUE BLAZBLUE I SLEEP WITH MY BLAZBLUE DAKIMAKURAS EVERY DAY BLAZBLUE YAAAA... and I'm like what's so good about blazblue.. and people are like OMG THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CANNOT CONVEY ITS AWSOME... So I look and I say "looks like guilty gear".. and they say "it's made by the same people... BUT ITS WAY BETTER IN EVERY WAY"... I'm like ok whatever.
then years later.. now everyone's like "FINALLY NO MORE USELESS BLAZBLUE, BACK TO THE GODLY GUILTY GEAR!!!"..
seriously.. what da, flippin' fruit!

didn't see trailer, wont... heard it spoils everything. I will say I'll watch it though (which is saying alot because I rarely rarely watch movies, I prever playing videos over watching them). I'm really peeved at how the TV series ended though, that show was actually really darn good...if you guys haven't seen it, you should.

no worries, I had absolutely no suspicions that you were hating on the lead's gender.
I think the colour is appropriate because that purpleyish crimson hue is... I wouldn't GIRLY per say, but it certainly can be seen as feminine more than masculine I suppose..But that's not why. I think it's kind of a elegant, pretty colour, which is actually pretty appropriate for gothic furnished castles with stained glass windows everywhere...and have you seen the screenshots? Even the content that isn't part of a window has color and contrast as though the screen ITSELF were part of a stained glass window... it's pretty. Not to mention castlevania's music isn't dark, it's often classy and elegant, or 'pumped up' sometimes.
That's more opinion than fact of course, but whether or not you agree with it, fact is the color of the title is QUITE fitting for how people like myself view these games. Of course I never played bloodstained, maybe it will be dark and horrible more than elegant and beautiful, but...I suspect people like myself will most certainly see actuation for my desires.

I dunno, I think you'll get buyers remorse, especially after getting the actual game with its physical goodies and artbook if you spent that much... if not.. I dunno, spending 20 bucks on a magazine for a text-covered single piece of art and not the extra for all those other more significant goodies really seems silly to me.. It's your money and you can spend it as you please but it really seems like a jerk-desire because that's all you can get of the game right here and now IMO.

Hate me for it but I honestly wish the font of bloodstained was RED instead of that pinkish/purple color. :/ I like me some grimness to it not girly. You gave permission, so consider yourself hated! It was that mentality about 'being too girly' that made them butcher castlevania's music in LoS.. GRRRR... kindly send me your address so I can send you hate mail *hits desk* =P (I'm kidding about the hate thing but I really DO hate that kind of 'too girly, change it' opinion for things).

No rare drops from boss items please... Unless you can easily respawn the boss. Saving and reloading a boss fight over and over for a drop is badness

Double post cuz multi quoting on phone is a bish.
"No modding cuz people will make porno miriam" BUT THATS THE POINT (kidding). Seriously though, yeah itll happen but I dont see why we should care how people spend their time. I think not having "good" mods just because people want to police how others should spend their private lives to be unconstructive. If you are worried about exposing players to objectionable material online, texture mods are generally client side only.
edit: on pc so I can edit easily now.
I just wanna point out that even if texture mods is not supported, that da nude mod community will very likely figure out a way to make such mods for the game anyway... They kinda always do...

Yeah. Its also possible that games that are faster on dx11 were made for dx11 and pretty much makes no effort to work with dx9 as well. So your lc chugs along to accommodate that.
All i know is on the only games i had that actually let you set dx11 and dx9 in the options were faster on my pc with xp and dx9 than 7 and 11... And this isnt just about xp and 7. Every time a new system comes along its supposedly faster and more optimized, and I personally have never seen this to be the case ever.

Would modding be PC only? I've never tried on a console. Depends on the game. Modding is typically pc only. But sinc3 both pc and console will use UE4, it should be quite easy for the devs to just make it so mods use a file format that is recognised on both platforms that you can install via a usb stick. For example people make costumes on the pc for neptunia and they are compatible with consoles... Of course those are only texture mods. It still should be possibke to make other mods compatible to both too though provided it uses a unreal script format.

Actually speaking of outfit changes... One of the things I really wsnt that nobody mentions is MODDING...
I mean its going to use the unreal engine, and though I dont know 4, unreal engine has always been one of the most moddable engines around. So HOOEFULLY players can make theit own outfits using filetypes that are not terribly obscure and import their own.

Blech. Maid outfits =p. Costume changes are very likely since we already know its implimented to some extent via the pure dress miriam or whatever its called.
Speaking of which, her outfit is KINDA similar to noire's clear dress, which is like my fave outfit ever, having long twintails to go with it would be bonus. Itll never happen though =p.
But dear goodness shes cute, squeeee!

Ive never liked a newer system over an older one except 95 and maybe xp. I never upgrade unless im being pulled kicking and screaming. Not juwt because of changes, or bugs... But so-called performance upgrades are always a farce. Performance ALWAYS drope after an upgrade contrary to what they claim every time, Not to mention they always hog more resources. Actually when I did my install of Windows 7 on my new machine it has run better and more smoothly than my older machines ever did running XP SP3.. Much as I don't want to admit that. I really liked XP. Ive heard many people say this, and I dont think they are all lying. But I still am skeptic because my videocard is suppos3d to be directx11 optimized. And a couple games I had also were. Yet after going from xp to 7 AND updating my directx, I saw 2 60 fps games drop down to about 52... And yes I did a clean format and install. You may argue 2 games isnt much but while I have tons of games, only 2 were considered hardware demanding at the time. Others were too old or low spec to care either way. Thate actually on3 of my theories as to why people claim faster performance. Maybe they had some bloatware or horrible fragmentation and then they do a clean format and install and zounds! Performance upgrade.

He doesnt really talk about the new games. He just says that part 2 sucks because of leveling and timesinks and blah blah. Then makes a quick comment at the end swying new ones have leveling so they arent as good either like their very different player growth mechanics are problematic for the same reasons after over a decade of evolution.
First off... You dont have to grind to beat any bosses in the new castlevanias... The fact he mentioned that speaks volumes. That is like complaining contra is too easy because the konami code gives you too many lives. Solution is dont do it. Is that so hard to figure out? Guh.
Dont get me wrong, the new games ARE way easier even if you ront grind, But difficulty is a matter of taste that can be catered to everyone with gooe options. And grinding most certainly isnt needed... And isnt a problem in of itself because it isnt needed.
Backtracking does exist but even that isnt as big an issue when the wo4lds are far more colorful and designed with a larger variety of music anr obstacles.
Its like he is saying a car doesnt work well because it has 14 wheels and uses that to point out 14 wheels wont work for a semitrailer too.
Case in point, by grinding needlessly when he hates grinding and easy, he is quite objectively, NOT Subjectively playing it wrong. It isnt a bag of chips. Its a bod of crackers, with caviar. And he isnt taking the time to enjoy it with the caviar.
