Bloodstained's story trailer released recently. Curse of the Moon seemed to be decent so maybe there's hopes for this though the thought of "fan made content" always pulls me back to weariness. Also looks like sea monster grill boss had her tits toned down from "disgustingly ginormous" to "huge".
Meanwhile, there's another somewhat similar title that faded into obscurity after the announcement - Blasphemous. A 2D Metroidvania very heavy on religious imagery but I think it's more about the developers showing off some local culture than them being edgy boys. They recently released a more complete demo for backers and the game seems somewhat decent. Still not sold on the MC's design (mask or cone, both don't work IMO) and, by their admission, they blew their load animating the first boss which is kind of a red flag, might mean they're not properly planning things.
Thoughts on these titles or any upcoming ones in the same style (if there's any, I admit I tend to be out of the loop when it comes to game announcements)?
And since there isn't one in the catalog, might as well make it a Castlevania thread too.

Yeah, the almost total absence of sound makes it a bit tedious but when I read a new prototype was out and when looking for footage I wanted it to not be too long, the player to be somewhat decent and no commentary. Here's one from the devs themselves, they go through a optional area that makes the player face several enemies and point out their interest in creating more situations like these which does address one of my qualms with the game as it seemed a bit lite on enemies.
Tbh when I started the topic I was more interested in discussing this game, maybe get the opinion of someone that got to play it but Bloodstained also got a recent update, they're both a bit similar and people seemed to like the pseudo 8-bit entrée.

Yeah, the 3D graphics are a letdown though I can't say it was unexpected. I'm a sucker for spritework and I've always been particularly fond of CV for its miniature art charm. Blasphemous has that but it's very serious (and I think it should) in its aesthetics while CV always had a goofy charm to it like Kamen Rider skeletons and silly item descriptions/quests.

The pedo triangle symbol spirals into itself although they changed it to only partly spiral into itself after the DHS caps were spread around. So ArtPlay's stylized A and P doesn't even vaguely resemble it unless you assume every single triangle is pedo symbolism.

It's literally the best Classicvania in existence. It takes everything that made the previous games great (aside from 8-way meme whipping) and cranked the dial up to 11.

Bloodstained is pretty uneven. After some showings, I am finding it to look a lot better than I ever expected it to look, and after other showings, like the one this past E3, I am blown away by how bad it looks.
I hope they still polish some of the worse-looking areas. Enemy animations are also pretty lackluster for the most part. Most impressions I have seen people that have played it say it plays very well and that using different weapons and spells gives you a lot of freedom.
I am cautiously looking forward to the game.

Every time I see this game I get hints that it'll be MN9 and hints that it'll be the genuine article. I'm not a backer so I've not touched the demo, but if the feedback is at least decent that's a good thing.
Personally I rather like Miriam's design, I think it's one of the best things going for the game. What I don't like at the moment is her English VA. Maybe she'll grow on me, but right now it feels a bit off-tone for the character.

Personally I think having voice work is a detriment, both for Bloodstained and Blasphemous. A waste of resources and one that might backfire on them at that.

You say that, though I think there needs to be some degree of it. 64-bit and prior games could get away with only sprite sounds for feedback, but even games like Metroid Prime have some VA for the player character, even if it's literally just for grunts and gasps. I think the pressure is from the graphics and artstyle of the games, or rather the fidelity of them. Given Bloodstained's, I think it might fall into that gap.
But when I look at Miriam, I see an elegant and ladylike design. She looks like a noble, so I want the voice to carry that. Her English VA sounds a bit too down to earth; she's not far off what I expect, but she's too preppy to match it. So I get this dissonance when she acts that makes me wish they'd gotten it a bit more right.

The trailer for Blasphemous makes the gameplay look extremely standard, very close to Odallus. Being just a decent metroidvania is not enough, there are already too many of those being released. Is there really anything that really sets it apart?
The violence on display was neat, but metroidvanias are usually not a type of games that really captures me with their atmosphere, so I doubt the violence will feel impactful enough to carry it.

I've been playing it for some 20hs, so far I only have a sword main weapon, and a magick projectile attack (usees energy, so it's not a standard attack). But the game has a lot of depth.
Another game I like a lot, but seems to divide somepeople here, is Axiom Verge. It has a lot of weapons (too many in fact, a handful are necessary to complete the game, but most are for fluff and completionism's sake) and a lot of interesting powerups.
2c223e No.15094543
>>15094442
You get projectile attacks, different swordfight techniques, you can upgrade your weapon, there's badges to change your playstyle, and you get utility powerups for exploration. Stores have powerups for health, energy, map markers, badges, maps themselves, keys for shortcuts/opening new areas, and probably some other shit I forgot.
It's more metroid than castlevania on the metroidvania autism spectrum, but it's pretty good. At least worth a pirate.

Simplify enough and you can make any character sound like a copy. Alucard is just a flamboyant ladyboy rebelling against his parents, right?
Point is, millions of fictional characters have been created. Complete originality is impossible because anything even remotely coherent has been done before. Especially when it comes to concepts that aren't even original; gothic stuff being tied to supernatural shit isn't exactly a revolutionary idea, nor is gemstones being tied to magic. Purple is a subdued, regal and somewhat mystical color. You're reaching because you only just now noticed that a character has some generic traits that another one has, but still haven't noticed that those traits are generic for a reason. Instead of being obsessed with originality that you're only imagining in the first place, focus on how good the writing is. Not that I'd expect something incredible from not-Castlevania.
Seeing people so eager to cry "ripoff" reminds me of the retard that claimed that Mass Effect was a copy of Halo because both had short and squat or tall and lanky aliens. The fucking mental case actually claimed that the space jews in ME were a ripoff of the grunts from Halo because they were both short and wide. An archetype that has existed for hundreds or thousands of years was somehow invented by whoever designed Halo enemies. Or that retard claiming that Oyveywatch ripped off Anarchy reigns for reasons such as "both have girls wearing yellow" and "there's a muscular nig".
Also your case is shit mostly because this not-Shanoa girl is wearing a frilly dress that looks like some gothic lolita stuff while your comic book girl wears some punk-or-whatever-looking body suit. Nigger, saying that those two are similar is like saying that a formal suit and a t-shirt and shorts is similar dressing because both could be considered modern. This isn't even a case of the characters being the generic default, just that they have some overlap in common traits, as you will always end up with simply because of how many fictional characters that have been created.

Anything about it that stands out, both good and bad? In the last dev commentary they mentioned they'll be streamlining prayers a bit more to incentivize players to use them more.
Looking at some stills, I'm a bit torn on the Vepar change but admittedly inclined to prefer the new one. The model looks overall better and while the tits are smaller, they are more shapely, especially from the side, you can always see a nipple shape. That said, the downsizing was too drastic.
abfe3d No.15099978
>>15099207
I agree that the Vepar looks better, but they reduced the breast size too much.
The combat is pretty decent and exploring the map is also pretty rewarding.
You get a lot of shards which give you a lot of different powers to try out. Almost every enemy drops a shard so there are a lot of them and they are all quite varied.
You can grind for enemy drops which can be used to upgrade weapons, shards and your stats.
Droprate is determined by the luck stat so increasing it increases the drop rate quite significantly.
The main negative part is that strong but slow weapons are too unbalanced. Standing attacks have too much off a delay after you attack, during which you can't move, back-step or jump. However jumping attacks have no such delay and can be spammed. This is especially bad since you can choose to jump just high enough to do the attack and thereby bunny hop to spam great sword attacks.
