kickstarting a game before they show some gameplay is a bad idea imo.

No it's not.

I can say this with absolute 100% confidence. Why?
Because if everyone thought like that, some of my very favourite recent games would never have been made.

Amazing.

 

[UltraGunner]

My oath to never back a Kickstarter is seriously being tested right now.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Hehe. Is David Hayter's career funded strictly by KS stretch goals now? >_>

I hope there is another stretch goal to remove Hayter.

 

[GKFinns]

I backed this so quickly I think I got whiplash.

I have loved all of Iga's games since the original Castlevania. IGAvania/Metroidvania games are one of my all time favorite genres.

I am all in. Backed for the signed collectors box and have zero regrets.

 

[GoonerTRON]

Found quite late in life that I really love this style of game, from my experiences with Ori and Guacamelle. I think it's time for me to try Castlevania out, what is the best one?

 

[hydruxo]

LMAO

 

[Phediuk]

Don't care for the character designs tbqh. Yamane has turned into a caricature of herself.

 

[Mpl90]

Just 50k left before it's funded.

Not a fan of good games?

Symphony of the Night.

 

[Sesha]

I wish someone would do a Metroidvania game with Daigo Ikeno doing the art design.

 

[Durante]

I'm with you on that. Not to be mean to Wiiu or 3ds people, I myself have more games on each of those systems then on any other current gen system, but because I don't want the game held back by it.

Yeah, that's my exact reasoning.

If they make a game for PC/PS4/XB1, those are pretty much 1 platform when using UE4, and they can be laser-focused on making it the best possible experience.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Mmmm, physical copy.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

What "Reward Tier" gets unlocked by creating a popular jiff for this game? Don't forget to use the hashtag.

 

[theSlacker]

I hope there is another stretch goal to remove Hayter.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Well damn, I had took a nap for the past hour and a half and it's already passed 450k.

They'll hit their goal in only like a few hours, I wonder if it will hit their stretch goals today too! :O

We're all thirsty!

 

[Crankshaft]

I hope there is another stretch goal to remove Hayter.

Don't be Haytin!

 

[Thalnos]

So what exactly is Kojima busy with? As far as I can tell the last thing she did was DW7 artwork. And that was 4 years ago.

 

[Dictator93]

This is slowly becoming a powerfully funny image macro.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Don't care for the character designs tbqh. Yamane has turned into a caricature of herself.

These two statements have nothing to do with each other. The second sentence doesn't even make any sense.

 

[Weiss]

I was pretty worried that this wouldn't be funded. Glad to see people are so receptive to a true and proper Castlevania.

I should nab a copy of Ecclesia one of these days.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I hope there is another stretch goal to remove Hayter.

Hayters gonna Hayter.

 

[butman]

I just want to see this:

 

[Auto-Reply]

This makes me wanna replay SotN ... must search for my PS1 disc, should be easily playabele by emulation ...

 

[BadWolf]

Don't care for the character designs tbqh. Yamane has turned into a caricature of herself.

Yamane is the composer...

 

[jholmes]

I just went and opened the page and before I really knew what was happening the pledge number starting flying upward.

Go get the Wii U port out of the mystical basement and we'll talk.

 

[Phediuk]

These two statements have nothing to do with each other. The second sentence doesn't even make any sense.

Oh whoops, I meant Kojima. Well, that explains why the character designs don't look so great; she's not involved. nvm.

 

[Dominator]

Does Kickstarter charge right away? Don't have the funds in my account yet but I will when this finishes. If it does right away I'll wait but if it doesn't then I'll pledge now.

 

[tuxfool]

kickstarting a game before they show some gameplay is a bad idea imo.

Apart from all the other successful KS projects that didn't show gameplay?

 

[BocoDragon]

I just had this same question...

 

[KarasuEXE]

I hope there is another stretch goal to remove Hayter.

And to add Kiefer Sutherland!

After the goal is reached and the deadline ends.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

The Nintendo hidden stretch goal is a sprite based 3DS version at 2 million.

Believe!

 

[LaserHawk]

It's interesting to me that nowhere on the page or video is the name "Castlevania" mentioned. I'm guessing its to avoid legal problems, but you'd think Iga would at least be able to mention the game among his past accomplishments to gain credibility from potential backers that aren't familiar with him.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Wouldn't usually back something at this early stage, but the lead character design sold me.

 

[Zee-Row]

I just did $100 , I need a physical copy of this game!

 

[DiGiKerot]

Found quite late in life that I really love this style of game, from my experiences with Ori and Guacamelle. I think it's time for me to try Castlevania out, what is the best one?

Either Symphony of the Night, or Aria/Dawn of Sorrow (can't remember which of the Sorrow I preferred at this point, though - I like OoE a lot too, but that's a wee bit different). Symphony is the most widely available these days, so I'd probably go for that, even if I prefer the feel of the later GBA/DS games.

 

[SheHateMe]

Excellent.

 

[yami4ct]

If they can make a game look near as good as that concept art, it'll be something to see. Guilty Gear proved it can be done. I can see real benefits in terms of crazy visual effects you could add in a 2.5D style side scroller with GG like graphics.

 

[Kazuhira]

Almost there,Iga don´t disappoint us pls.

 

[R_thanatos]

Goddamn @ this news ..

I'm IN


I'm ALL IN !

This could mean a lot for me...

*Note: ALL IN is limited to the size of my wallet.

Konami just took down a fan video, because it was speculating in the whole Kojima vs Konami stuff.

I wouldn't take any risk if I was Iga.

 

[Red Arremer]

You are a gentleman, and a scholar.

 

[Hex]

$28 is too much. I'll wait for a Steam discount.

...

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Has anyone commented on the fact that there will be no Dracula in this game? I think that kind of a bummer

Well, it's not Castlevania so it's given. But it does *feel*a bit odd. A Castlevania-styled Igvania game from the man himself.

But damn, 2017.....

 

[xevis]

The Nintendo hidden stretch goal is a sprite based 3DS version at 2 million.

Believe!

I find it remarkable that there is no plans announced for a Nintendo version. Almost every 2D Castlevania has appeared on a Nintendo system!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I don't like those $100 tiers.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

2.5D with Inti Creates at the helm? Guess I'll have to settle for cautious optimism.

 

[HItman84]

And to add Kiefer Sutherland!

So, the whole thing is just Konami in secret is what you're saying?

 

[ElTopo]

Tempted to back it. I'm not a huge fan of Metroidvania (I prefer the linear games much more) but I gotta' emphasize that I'm tempted.
