Bloodstained E3 Demo

[Sadler]

They released a download code for $60+ backers a couple days ago. I just finished playing through it and it's pretty damn awesome. Basically exactly what you'd expect, it felt a lot like the later handheld Castlevanias. Anyone else played it? What the hell are Kung Fu Shoes and how do I equip them?

Damn I didn't have a PS4 at the time so I didn't back it, but now I regret it. (Also need to back Shenmue 3 at some point)

Let's hope it doesn't make you feel like an anime fan on prom night

I haven't tried downloading it yet, too busy/lazy.  Looking forward to hearing whatever tunes are in the demo!

[Sadler]

Ha! Well if this demo is any indication, Bloodstained should end up being better than Mighty No 9 supposedly is. I played through it again last night, kung fu shoes are a weapon, not sure how I missed that! I wonder how many item drops and shards there are in the demo.

Edit: the tunes are awesome! Also the first time I played the demo the screen was scrunched oddly. That seems to be fixed now, it looks really good! Much better than the last 2.5D one. Controls a whole lot better too!

Yeah, abide from a couple super minor nitpicks, I think I'm in love.
Provided I don't decide to move on to another project before this one is done, I might be getting a ps4 very soon

Have yet to try the demo. Not even sure if I got my download code honestly.

If this & shenmue 3 are still available as slacker backers I might give myself a Christmas treat.
Shenmue 3 is the priority though seeing as I have 1&2 for the DC.

Even if they're not, I'm sure you can get the copies on release.

I had concerns general release would be d/l only.

Not really up to date with Shinmu III but I don't belive Bloodstaid physical release was Kickstarter backer only. Just has a back variant cover and slip on cover.

I backed it and downloaded the demo off of Steam last night.   I'm very pleased with how it plays and feels.  I do think the music seems a bit underwhelming as it sounds kind of muffled and doesn't seem to immerse you into the  game at all. I'm sure they will have this fixed when the game comes out.

I laughed at the tit physics of the boss!  Looks heavily influenced by the Senran Kagura games.

I watched the demo on Youtube.

There's the other Bloodstained thread from last year, feel free to read my post from back then:

I still think that these modern pseudo 2D graphics are not my cup of tea. Instead of polygons, cel-shading and flash-animation-like deformation, I'm more into pure pixels.

That boss could have been nice if they ditched the gross upper half.



On the other hand, my girlfriend mentioned that she liked the main character's outfit.

I backed it despite not owning a PS4 then (or now), but I hope to have one soon before the end of the year.  I'm FINALY seeing enough games I want to play to justify getting one.

Holding out for the Neo?


I was all set to buy a PS4 last month for my birthday but then I heard about the Neo. Now I am just waiting for that. Might as well get the latest version.

I'm still undecided.  It's going to have a lot to do with pricing.  How much will the Neo cost?  Will the regular PS4 get a price drop?  Will I win the lottery next week?  It all just depends.
