It's hard to get excited with footage we have seen like a million times since the demo.

Yes, I agree with the previous post, new metroidvanias have been part of evolution of the genre. Recently I have played Hollow knight and I think it is a masterpiece, a game with beautiful art, music, tight gameplay, hard but enjoyable, really a unique game. After playing it, I look forward to the sequel Silksong even more than Bloodstained RotN. When I watch the new videos of Rotn's gamplay, I recognize it looks better than before, but at the same time combat feels clunky and boring. I am not interested in customization of Miriam nor the cooking up potions in the menu screen. I think it lost some appeal that it had previously. I hope I will still like it and I have great expectantion. Even though I might not like it, I will take the best from it - music, artwork and Curse of the moon which was fantastic! Bloodstained just looks so dull huh? I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see it.

neffIs there a way you could be more specific regarding the points I made? I really want someone to convince me I'm wrong. I really trying to give bloodstained a chance. But it just looks so awful.

eru Redogan was one of the most critical community members I can remember during the early stages of development, so your attempt at snark is pretty badly misplaced. And I'm supposed to care about that for some reason? All I see is in this thread is him calling it fabulous and defending these graphics.
If you want to see what "fabulous" graphics look like, just check latest hollow knight trailer
I don't care whether game is 2D, 2.5D or 3D, it simply looks gorgeous. Bloodstained doesn't.
I have been a Castlevania fan for decades. Not only did I pay for a high tier on the Bloodstained kickstarter, but I have played pretty much every single Castlevania that exists. I would consider Castlevania to be the best videogame franchise of all time... However... I can't stop watching that Hollow Knight trailer... it looks simply wonderful. I watched the Bloodstained trailer like twice and only felt sadness. Edit: Whoops! Sorry about the thread derailment

Valefor looks like absolute trash. The CotM version looks absolutely superior in every way. The colors and textures are hideous. The "floating hands" style fit the boss way better than the "sleeves" or "arms" they added. The coins look horrible the way they clip all over. And the background doesn't even seem to fit the theme in any way like it did in CotM. I hope that it's just a different mode or something. On a related note, anyone else notice how the body is made up of coins that look suspiciously like the Smash Brothers symbol? If anyone has a clip of the Valefor model from the trailer to compare I would appreciate. Edit: estebant thanks for the pic That is an outdated comment. I edited it to make more sense and be less hateful... Here...

Valefor doesn't look very good.... The CotM version looks absolutely superior in every way. The colors and textures are hideous. The "floating hands" style fit the boss way better than the "sleeves" or "arms" they added. The coins look horrible the way they clip all over, and they're definitely way too big. And the background doesn't even seem to fit the theme in any way like it did in CotM. I hope that it's just a different mode or something. The way the coins shine light from below giving it a moody creepy vibe is gone, so is the expressive cartoon face. In CotM he looks like an automaton made of gold and copper... he even has a jewler/watchmaker loupe over his eye... but the 3D version replaces it with some stupid red and white donut. The size difference is also a bit awkward... Why doesn't he fit inside his own room?! Not to mention everything has this unnatural plasticky sheen. Also I might need to rewatch but I think I saw quite a few glitches throughout the rest of the video as well... like... what is that brick looking stuff in front of the left door? Is that supposed to be there? I hope the gameplay is good at least...

That Symphony vinyl is God awful. I can't believe they're serious. Compare that art to the Dracula's Curse one.
I'm so disappointed. Definitely will not be buying.

We'll do screenshots or videos at a later date. This is a new low as far as kickstarter updates go. This boring wall of text doesn't cut it whenever the update just before this one was a delay and a port cancellation. I remember when I was excited for this game. If it wasn't for Curse of the Moon being amazing I would have absolutely zero faith in this project.

Let me give a controversial opinion: I think IGA shouldn't listen to fans and backers so much. Sometimes people cry out for the silliest of reasons. Trying to please everyone and mitigate almost all negativity brought the game to a new delay. Unlike you most people don't want the game to turn out awful I guess.

This delay is the best thing that could possibly happen to us right now. The latest demo just doesn't live up to the quality we've come to expect from Igas previous games. A release in it's current state would be a death sentence.

purifyweirdshard We came to learn the demo is in a very light version, both in tone and and in details. We've all made that assumption. It hasn't been confirmed as far as I know. This might just be what the game will look like.

So when I mentioned that there was nothing to worry about, my opinion gets pretty much pushed to the curb, but others state the exact same thing, and it's suddenly okay lol I think its absolutely something to worry about until the developers talk to us.

We have no reason to believe that won't be used still. Other than the fact that it wasn't in the demo for some reason.

The procedural generation video looks great because both the shadows and procedurally generated textures are there but the demo doesn't include them.
If they would just confirm that... this thread wouldn't even need to exist.

Don't know why anyone of you actually think this is how the final game will look. 1. Because it's not 2015 anymore. The game releases in half a year. (As far as we know) 2. Because it's not just lighting changes. There's an obvious downgrade in textures as well. 3. Because that's the whole point of a beta. Its supposed to be a small version of what we're getting. 4. Because we were never told about the changes beforehand. 5. We haven't gotten confirmation it won't actually look like that. 6. People have been salty about the look of the game as far back as e3 last year. And now they got an even uglier version. Until the dev's talk to us... that's the game in its current state as far as we know. 7. Why would you release a story trailer with gimped features? There's no reason why the trailer shouldn't have the right textures and lighting. 8. Mighty No.9 is still fresh in people's minds. People are afraid the Vita is to blame. 9. People are already comparing this game's look unfavorably to other titles. Including Igas past vanias, CotM, and others like Hollow Knight. I don't think it's fair to compare them but releasing a demo of the game that looks worse than the one people already disliked is a terrible idea. People are right to be worried, at least for now.
