Can't wait for the Jennifer Hale tier to eventually show itself...

Why didn't I think about that earlier? Now I wish it does happen!

 

[Wishmaster92]

Hayter hype is real. I'm gonna play through SOTN as a celebration when it hits 850k

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I backed it pretty much immediately when it went up.

Now to just wait...

...until 2017...


...fuck!

 

[That Dude John]

People really like IGA's games, for one.

People also resent the way Castlevania was managed after IGA's departure and Konami's actions in general, and I'm sure that's fueling a lot of people. They're giving money to IGA to spite Konami, just as they gave money to Inafune to spite Capcom.

I see. Makes sense with the context. It's just really impressive to witness.

 

[zeopower6]

Who is their community manager? They should really be updating :<

 

[georly]

Who is their community manager? They should really be updating :<

Busy managing a stream. I'm sure it'll get better once they don't have a live production.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

So it's 2.5D?

Hope it doesn't look like the PSP game.

 

[BassForever]

Those watching the live stream have they talked about adding more stretch goals because they're about to run out of them :X

 

[Ahasverus]

So it's 2.5D?

Hope it doesn't look like the PSP game.

Unreal Engine 4, baby.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

What game are they playing now, is it Ori?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

So it's 2.5D?

Hope it doesn't look like the PSP game.

Considering they're pushing for PS4/X1/PC at the expensive of all other systems, it will probably look okay.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

So it's 2.5D?

Hope it doesn't look like the PSP game.

It won't. This is new-gen only UE4 game that they confirmed will have some kind of shaders to get as close to the 2D sprite look as possible even with everything made out of polygons.

It has more stretch goals that should be unlocked by the achievements. Just no one seems to be updating the page.

 

[Nabae]

I like it a lot, because you're giving them your money when the KS closes in 32 days instead of waiting until it's released to buy it. You're basically loaning Iga the money to help him make the game, it's almost a crowd-publishing strategy at this point because he already has some funding secured pending proof of demand for the final product. As someone who's helping publish the game, it's plenty fair that you get something over a person who wait until it's released and buys it then.

I'm absolutely fine with backers getting something over a person who waits for the retail release, such as CDs, artbooks, keychains, and so on. But actual content like a "super-powerful hidden boss"? Has any other kickstarter reserved game content just for backers? Skimming over Yooka-Laylee's page, it seems like the full game is more or less the same even if you don't back it, with the only notable difference being the deluxe version coming with a toybox experience.

 

[MomoPufflet]

Flagrant violation of playing with my heart.

 

[Raiku]

That artstyle

It's Iga though....

 

[Ishida]

Almost there for Hayter!!

 

[BassForever]

I know... Someone should get on that

 

[dragonlife]

First kickstarter to make me genuinely smile as I watched the promo video.

Today's a good day.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Can't wait for the Jennifer Hale tier to eventually show itself...

I've met her twice, and damn if she isn't a riot. I'd so love to see her voice talents in this.

My guess would be that if they felt they needed to release that content due to player demand that missed out on the KS they could release it as dlc...

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Almost there for Hayter!!

He needs to have a 'miserable pile of secrets' line in the game

 

[duckroll]

Is there something I can do to stop this from happening? Is there some hotline to call? Surely IGA must be breaking some law or violating something. I can't let this happen....

 

[pelicansurf]

You are a bad person, good sir. Ignore the good sir part, bad sir.

(What did Iga ever do to you!?)

 

[Ishida]

He needs to have a 'miserable pile of secrets' line in the game

He MUST. I want something extremely cheesy, like Hayter knows how to deliver. :3

 

[theSlacker]

I know... Someone should get on that

I agree. I've been anxiously refreshing the page since the first goal got met wanting to see it updated. It's bothering the hell out of me for no real reason.

 

[MomoPufflet]

"Kept you waiting huh" or bust

Die monster. You don't belong in this world!

 

[PBalfredo]

"Kept you miserable piles of secrets waiting, huh?"

 

[Ishida]

"Kept you waiting huh" or bust

Miriam: "We are cursed by the stained glass"
Gebel: "Cursed?!"
Miriam: "I have traversed your castle to defeat you!"
Gebel: "My castle?!"

God. This needs to happen.

 

[F0rneus]

Whatever Miriam says, she'll never beat Shanoa's "morning sun" line from OoE. Most badass moment in Castlevania history.

 

[BassForever]

Die monster. You don't belong in this world!

What is a duckroll? A miserable little pile of bait threads!

 

[Killer]

I hope it doesn't turn out like that Mega Man's guy game.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I hope it doesn't turn out like that Mega Man's guy game.

Which nobody has played yet.

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

That artstyle

It's Iga though....

The first thing that I thought of was Vanillaware when I first seen the concept art.

 

[Amani]

Second KS for a video game backed the day it goes up. Within a span of a few weeks.
Fuck it, was gonna wait, but I'll kick in 20 bucks till payday comes. Wish I had the balls to go for the artbook tier, but...bills n' stuff. And imported DMC4SE.

 

[Jotamide]

Whatever Miriam says, she'll never beat Shanoa's "morning sun" line from OoE. Most badass moment in Castlevania history.

I have to agree with this. God I fucking love OoE.

 

[Bronetta]

I'll wait for this to release before any commitments. The KS didn't quite sell me without a proof of concept.

[ViewtifulJC]

Hayter's awful voice acting in 2015

 

[Shouta]

I should go in for that 2000 pledge and name my weapon "Duckroll Slayer"

 

[duckroll]

I hope it doesn't turn out like that Mega Man's guy game.

It probably will. These Japanese producers are no different from Richard Garriot and Peter Molyneux. Businessmen suits who survive off a legacy from decades ago, who know how to prey on the nostalgia of fans who have more money than sense.

But I'm sure no one backing it will mind. If you can convince yourself that Igavania games are good, it shouldn't be too hard to enjoy anything!

 

[RangerBAD]

Why not Legless Exia? Special effect: Breaks the spirit of any nearby Duckrolls.

 

[Camwi]

Thank you for treating us collectors right and giving us the option for a physical copy!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Sorry, our throats are way too parched at this moment. Nothing stops this stampede of the thirsty.

 

[LowParry]

The title alone is a big seller. IMO at least.

 

[Ishida]

I hope it doesn't turn out like that Mega Man's guy game.

How did that game turn out?

 

[Raticus79]

841k now. Beating all its stretch goals day 1, lol

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Who hurt you?

You're tearing me apart duckroll!
