Wasn't David Hayter announced as playing a main character in that NotEternal Darkness revival that failed (twice) to get Kickstarted? No amount of Hayter could rescue that mess.

I don't think disc only. More like the limited editions will be kickstarter only. Iga and Paul already have a publisher lined up.

Unreal Engine 4 doesn't natively support the 3DS, WII U or the Vita.
They would have to build the game from a completely different engine to support those platforms.

I think the most I would hope for would be a Azure Striker Gunvolt type deal. Smaller game, similar idea in that it pays homage to something they used to make, but its not directly tied to the big project.

There will be a regular retail edition, it just won't include the extras found in the exclusive Kickstarter Edition.

Lol at that tweet. Will there be wall chicken in this game?
The castle is Nintendo HQ. The treasure is a new Nintendo console.

Which is the best version of this game to play these days anyways?
Many publishers have become risk averse suits that are profit profit profit first. The industry has changed a lot

There is a lot more lower price tiers in Yooka-Laylee. Best full physical version for it is also like $100, when the one for this is like $250.

Isn't this going faster than Yooka-Laylee?

PS1 or 360 version are the best here. PS1 for completeness including the CG FMVs and 360 for loading.

I've always wondered this as well. I've worked in multiple industries, but never have I seen one that so adamantly tries to ignore market demand the way AAA gaming does.
Edit: My guess would be that it's a lot harder to gauge demand than in other industries. For instance, it's much easier for my employer to gauge the demand for leukemia research because you don't really have big pharmaceuticals spamming twitter saying they'd commission 100 studies.

Neg. Also got to remember that that was shown in pounds. People were saying that it reached a mill even faster then Torment did.
It's not that simple of course or else big publishers would never do wrong since all they would have to do is to just read forums

The xbla version is pretty good.

Thanks, too bad my old PS1 discs are in another state. I have the 360 version though, bought it was back when it was released. My 360 isn't plugged in though, I wonder if it still works.

Movies do it as well, iirc.
Honestly, I can't blame them. AAA games carry price tags in the tens of millions. The publishers think that if they aren't guaranteed to get that much back, it's just not worth it. They don't seem to be too interested in funding smaller projects outside of mobile titles.

People tend to forget that Dennis Dyack's involvement was a major turnoff for many and the initial reason why the first campaign failed. The kiddy porn charges were just the final nail in the coffin but by then SOTE was doomed to fail.
Iga on the other hand is a well respected developer with a well respected team in Inti Creates. The crowdfunding was always meant the gauge interest anyway and he's made it clear the full game will probably have a higher budget because funding is coming somewhere else. If the game fails to come out to market, perma-ban me from Gaf.

i know he's doing it for yuks, but Ninety-Nine Knights 2 was a legitimately fun game.

PSP one in Drac X chronicles was fun too, if only for the newer translation (though the legendary original was superior in terms of badness) and the restoration of Maria mode, which wasn't in the ps1 version for some reason.
For all the shit Ubisoft and Activision get, I definitely appreciate it when they fund games like King's Quest, Child of Light, etc.
I just wish we had more of that from them.

How's the PSP version of SOTN? Maybe I'll actually use the thing.
This is part of the reason I think publisher funded middle market games need to be the norm again.
Was it really? I throughly enjoyed the first one, but I never hear a peep about the sequel.
I can't believe they've already crossed 1 million. I figured they'd get funded and read a few stretch goals, but this is amazing. Big ups to Iga and team. Make us a great one guys.

Kind of where I fall to be honest, haha. I have enjoyed his Castlevanias from time to time though, I'm just not crazy about them. The original style Castlevanias will always be my favorite, but I can respect his vision and style. I don't get the hate that's spewed his way on any level.
If it wasn't for him Castlevania would probably be dea... Oh wait...

Lol, love Tak.
I'm actually quite amazed and happy that it hit its goal so fast, and then just blasted right through the roof.

I don't believe so. This is in dollars, not pounds.
