ShadowStar83x Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Koji Igarashi (the former director of Castlevania in case you don't know) has announced his spiritual successor to Castlevania, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The game has a Kickstarter campaign, which has been successfully funded. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/05/11/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night-is-coming-to-ps4/ And here's the Kickstarter if you wish to donate: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ I think it looks pretty damn cool! I'm definitely backing this soon! Edited May 11, 2015 by ShadowStar83x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I have never backed anything on Kickstarter before but I just had to for this. Publishers think we don't want games like this anymore, I hope this shows that there is still an audience for this kind of game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) No godammit, don't get David Hayter as a voice actor, he sucks ass! The last thing I want is a character sounding like Solid "I'm grizzled because my voice is gravelly" Snake. :T Edited May 11, 2015 by damon8r351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MStalker58 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Glad to see that the game reached it's funding goals in the 1st day. Castlevania was one of my favorite franchises growing up. The trend of "classic series gets revived through Kickstarter" continues. This will be the third recent project that I'm really excited about joining Mighty No. 9 (Mega Man) and Yooka-Laylee (Banjo-Kazooie spiritual successor). Can't wait to see how these games turn out.

limelight1979 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) $28 for a digital download is a heck of a lot of money for people backing an unknown game. You would think they would let backers get it for a cheaper price. Edited May 11, 2015 by limelight1979 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publishers think we don't want games like this anymore, I hope this shows that there is still an audience for this kind of game. Games that they think we don't want anymore keep doing well on Kickstarter. You'd think they'd get the message by now... $28 for a digital download is a heck of a lot of money for people backing an unknown game. You would think they would let backers get it for a cheaper price. Yeah, but most are going for the physical edition.

NerdRage04 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I went for it. Should be awesome. They are at 1 million already with another 30 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeSplit Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It still seems strange that Symphony of the Night was the only game of that type in the series that wasn't on a handheld. It's about time we get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boooda Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Just finished watching Colin Moriarty interview Igarashi about the game and it was pretty cool to hear him talk about it first hand. Im definitely more interested in it now after watching the video, and it also shed some light as to why they chose kickstarter and the current situation at Konami etc etc. Video for those interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goekie Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 No godammit, don't get David Hayter as a voice actor, he sucks ass! The last thing I want is a character sounding like Solid "I'm grizzled because my voice is gravelly" Snake. :T He doesn't sound like Snake irl at all. He's actually pretty good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarPhantom Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I really hope they make good on the promise of a really good looking game. Like, I hope they manage to match that concept art better than, say, Mighty No. 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadeSplit Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 A stretch goal for the Vita has been added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Watch Guyver Dark Hero, David Hayter plays the main character and sounds nothing like Snake, despite the campyness of the movie. this is my 2nd kickstarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 the kickstarter is really close to the vita port stretch goal would be great to play on vita i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 the kickstarter is really close to the vita port stretch goal would be great to play on vita i think They met the funding requirements, so Bloodstained should be out for Vita-chan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 They met the funding requirements, so Bloodstained should be out for Vita-chan. It's getting physical copies to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Great to hear that they met the vita stretch goal considering that most of the IGAvanias came out on GBA and NDS ( even PSP had Dracula X Chronicles), will be nice to continue the experience on vita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseHoldOn Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Though $60 is a steep investment for a game that is still a year or two out from any kind of release, and a game that I'm only mildly interested in... I almost NEVER see Kickstarter campaigns that actually offer physical copies of the finished product (I will NOT be adding full digital games to this PSN account, so anything where digital is the only option is out of the running immediately). I've never really backed anything before, and I almost want to back it just for that... and take my chances whether or not the game is my cup o' tea. Yes... I do have disposable income.

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 yup, looking forward to this one and Battle Chasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) The wait for its 2018 release doesn't bother me too much. I just hope when it comes out, it's actually good. I'm looking at you, Mighty No. 9. Would be nice if the first game I ever backed on Kickstarter didn't turn into a complete train wreck. I'm cautiously optimistic.

EternalChaos72 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 What's with all these kickstarters these days? Can the devs not fund the game themselves rather than asking the public for money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 What's with all these kickstarters these days? Can the devs not fund the game themselves rather than asking the public for money? That's the point. They can't. Publishers don't like to take risks on games like this anymore as they don't see them as huge money makers, so they tun to crowdfunding instead. I don't see why it's such a bad thing. Sure, there are examples of people abusing Kickstarter, but it can be a way to get games that publishers have long since forgotten about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
