[Morfeo]

Haha, the gifs definitely deliver. IGA is the man!

 

[Jotamide]

Man, this stream sold me on Shovel Knight.

 

[TreIII]

How can I play the gba vanias without a gba?

Got a Wii U? COTM and AoS should be on the VC.

 

[theSlacker]

It's funny since I care less about local co op then I do about the cheat codes. Where exactly does co op fit into this kind of game? I'd rather just play alone.

 

[spyhunterzero]

I already own it on 360 though and have free money on there (from all that gamestop shenannigans last year). I'd have to pay out of pocket for PS3.

All the stages come to:
Fuma $3
Origins $3
Lord of Flies $4
One who is many $4
Beauty Desire Situation Dire $5
Total: $19

Which of those are free on PS3?
Are any of the characters Truly worth it, also?

Beauty Desire Situation Dire, Julius, and Yoko come free on PSN version

 

[loganclaws]

That's a horrible stretch goal and it will backfire immediately on them. Whoever thought of that just killed any future growth for this kickstarter, good fucking job. I'm sure they will revise this stretch goal tomorrow.

 

[sn00zer]

I went and did it... I hope Igarashi comes through on his promise. Also, duckroll slayer incoming? =o

Holee sheeeit

 

[KojiKnight]

Local Co-Op is awesome but a $150,000 increment for cheat codes? Not feeling that one.

Don't link one to the other. It's not that cheat codes cost 150k, it's that co-op costs 450k and they wanted something as a bonus for getting about half way there.

 

[crinale]

What a horrible night to be Konami.

As for IGAvania I really don't think so.. Konami is seeking to steer company to somewhat different direction, and IGA's move suites them because now people won't keep asking Konami to make metrovania (that Konami don't really want to) anymore. It's a win-win situation really.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Turns out I have about 18 bucks in xbox live money i didn't know about... what castlevania HD dlc is worth it?

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/Product/Castlevania-HD/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a7a

All the DLC chapters are great, but best are 9-10. 9 being the SOTN stage and 10 being the original Castlevania one.

Also, Richter, and Julius characters are great. Join us in the Off-topic thread we're managing some times to play together

Games nowadays don't have fun cheat codes anymore. Why not add them?

 

[jett]

This sounds chaotic. Not trusting this development for now, I'm pulling out.

Yeah I'm not sure how much planning went into this. Even the concept art looks honestly rushed and unpolished.

 

[Ridley327]

Got a Wii U? COTM and AoS should be on the VC.

All three major GBA games are on there, although COTM isn't an IGAvania, and Harmony of Dissonance is subpar, to be kind about it.

 

[Nirolak]

Local Co-Op is awesome but a $150,000 increment for cheat codes? Not feeling that one.

This is generally a sign they want $400K for Local Co-op.

 

[loganclaws]

Games nowadays don't have fun cheat codes anymore. Why not add them?

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COST $150,000 TO ADD THEM. People will not see any reason now to grow the budget for this project, so fucking stupid. Sorry I'm really pissed.

Edit: Holy shit, I cannot iterate enough how stupid of them this is, fucking $150,000 for cheat codes????? Are they serious... Holy shit.

 

[secretanchitman]

Is this the same person behind Symphony of the Night? If so, I am absolutely backing this. The voice acting of David Hayter is just icing on the cake.

I'm really not sure if this is a joke post playing off of some other bad post or not.

Filler item just to allow spacing for another item with a far higher cost.

 

[Ben Morales]

IGA went beast mode on that boss!!

 

[Elfforkusu]

Iga with the clutch Shovel Knight play.

Are you, by any chance, a Kickstarter expert?

Uhhh, ok? I don't think anyone really is all that mad tbh. More content is more content.

 

[Kubiubo]

Yes.

 

[Vire]

The additional stretch goals of a cheat code? Really?

Orchestral score would be really awesome. Do it.

 

[Morfeo]

Man, this stream sold me on Shovel Knight.

It has basically sold me on all the games I didnt already own

 

[BassForever]

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COST $150,000 TO ADD THEM. People will not see any reason now to grow the budget for this project, so fucking stupid. Sorry I'm really pissed.

People DO want local co-op, they could have just NOT had a 1 mill stretch goal and only done the 1.25 mill goal for local co-op and nobody would be upset

 

[georly]

Beauty Desire Situation Dire, Julius, and Yoko come free on PSN version

Ty. Decided to get all the stages but not the characters.

All the DLC chapters are great, but best are 9-10. 9 being the SOTN stage and 10 being the original Castlevania one.

Also, Richter, and Julius characters are great. Join us in the Off-topic thread we're managing some times to play together

Ok, bought them all, subscribing to the community thread. Won't have time to play tonight, and I literally have not played since a month after release but I played the hell out of it. I'll play some single player to get refreshed. I remember maining soma but also using crissaegrim or something? Dunno!

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Yes it is.

 

[Christian]

Can someone PM me about the PS3 Castlevania HD tomorrow? I'd love to get in on that. I'm East Coast and I should be able to play for a while between 6:00 and 8:00.

 

[Crocodile]

Neogaf getting name dropped in the stream

New stretch goals but still nothing from the Wii U's basement! C'mon.

Anybody on the inside know what's holding up the stretch goals?

EDIT: Nevermind.

That's not Vita. ;(

Gotta go deeper into the basement

Local Co-Op is awesome but a $150,000 increment for cheat codes? Not feeling that one.

Again, stretch goals aren't always set at exactly hope much it would cost to make them but also to incentivize pledging

Don't link one to the other. It's not that cheat codes cost 150k, it's that co-op costs 450k and they wanted something as a bonus for getting about half way there.

Bingo!

Man, this stream sold me on Shovel Knight.

Do it bro! You'll have a great time

Edit: Holy shit, I cannot iterate enough how stupid of them this is, fucking $150,000 for cheat codes????? Are they serious... Holy shit.

Cry more (or read what other people are saying to help you better understand what's going on )

 

[loganclaws]

Are you, by any chance, a Kickstarter expert?

No, but I'm a potential backer if I see good stretch goals, like an additional secret campaign, expanded castle, or more meaningful game growth. Fucking cheat codes??? WTF do I care? Mark my words, tomorrow they will realize their fuck up and revise the stretch goal.

 

[Vamphuntr]

One of the stretch goal has to be an inverted castle or play as a bad guy mode

 

[hawk2025]

No, but I'm a potential backer if I see good stretch goals, like an additional secret campaign, expanded castle, or more meaningful game growth. Fucking cheat codes??? WTF do I care?

You do think they should publicly apologize and cancel that stretch goal though, right?

 

[Christian]

If they tell you there's a secret campaign, it's not a secret...

 

[NastyBook]

A million before midnight?

 

[PBalfredo]

lol

That cheat codes stretch goal is such a "What? They blew through all the other stretch goals in one day! Quick, we need more stretch goals!"

 

[Morfeo]

Are you, by any chance, a Kickstarter expert?

Or just an expert on japanese culture?

 

[jett]

Don't hate on the best soundtrack in CV.

This is what people are peddling as being better than SotN?

 

[theSlacker]

You do think they should publicly apologize and cancel that stretch goal though, right?

Oh you.

 

[TSM]

Can someone PM me about the PS3 Castlevania HD tomorrow? I'd love to get in on that. I'm East Coast and I should be able to play for a while between 6:00 and 8:00.

I'm down for tomorrow on PS3.

 

[Shouta]

If you're comin to Combo Breaker, come find me. First round's on me.

I wish. Work deadlines and time off i took for to do NWM kind of made it hard to attend. I really wanted to go too. =(

 

[~Kinggi~]

Alright, they say in the pitch video

Go alone, work coop with a friend, or battle in versus mode

Why the heck are they reselling these as stretches now? Seriously its kinda pissing me off they couldnt put more thought into this after seemingly planning so much else.

 

[Pyrrhus]

They've got to be immensely pleased. My reservations with the art style aside, I think this is a wonderful outcome.

 

[Somnid]

Cheat codes are fine, it doesn't significantly add to scope which is the biggest concern for any Kickstarter.

 

[HardRojo]

They probably were trying to be conservative with the stretch goals and couldn't think of better ones.

 

[zeopower6]

lol

That cheat codes stretch goal is such a "What? They blew through all the other stretch goals in one day! Quick, we need more stretch goals!"

Was probably always planned. Should have been moved up though OR added alongside joke cheat codes in the achievements though so we avoid people flipping out, lol.

I think they probably have at least 6-7 more stretch goals planned not counting the 50 achievement bonus stretch goal.

 

[TSM]

I was hoping for a boss rush goal. Maybe it's in the dungeon of the castle.

 

[Durante]

That's a horrible stretch goal and it will backfire immediately on them. Whoever thought of that just killed any future growth for this kickstarter, good fucking job. I'm sure they will revise this stretch goal tomorrow.

Sure backfired immediately, I think they only made 50k in the, what, 25 minutes since it was revealed?

 

[keisuke999]

lol at people misunderstanding kickstarter.

Of course it doesn't cost 150,000 to implement cheat codes. That's not the point. It's a reward for loyalty/funding.

It is a reward, a "thank-you" if you will. Since the project is already funded, everything from now on is a bonus.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I would back this, but there's no point now since it's well past its goal.
