Jedi Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) The rumors of Koji Igarashi making a spritual successor to Castlevania is TRUE. http://www.siliconera.com/2015/05/11/koji-igarashis-spiritual-successor-to-castlevania-is-bloodstained-ritual-of-the-knight/ Quote Yes, the rumours are true. Former Castlevania director Koji Igarashi is indeed working on a spiritual successor to the series, and we can finally talk about it. The game in question is called Bloodstained: Ritual of the Knight, and as you’d expect it’s being partially funded through Kickstarter. Azure Striker Gunvolt and Mighty No. 9 developer Inti Creates are developing Bloodstained in partnership with Igarashi for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game is described as a 2.5D “Igavania” and features a lady named Miriam as its protagonist. Bloodstained’s story involves alchemists and demons and all sorts of other arcane nonsense you’re looking for in a Castlevania game. The gist of the story is that Miriam was picked up as an orphan by an alchemist at a young age and turned into the host for some sort of dark alchemical curse. Miriam slumbered for a decade while the curse matured inside her, and when she awakens, she finds demons have entered the world. here is a mock up image of gameplay And art of the main heroine Miriam After my huge disappointment with the Lords of Shadow reboot series, this is a breath of fresh air.

VincentASM Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I was vaguely following this and pleasantly surprised that it's actually a real thing. Now I'm just hoping the 4infinity tease is actually for you-know-what. Edited May 11, 2015 by VincentASM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Haha glad to see someone else was following this! Also these are the current Kickstarter goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilkalizer Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 A surveillance Dracula?! Very nice video and I wish them all the best, but 30 bucks is a bit of on the high side for the lowest "preorder" tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryhard Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 500,000 goal reached i wonder how different that second playable character would be Judging by the rate, I don't think you'll be waiting too long for it to reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hype is an understatement. I was waiting for a game like this for so long! And I trust Inti Creates will deliver a great game, as they have always done. I'd contribute if I had the money. Now we only need to fund Yuji Naka and have him recreate Sonic the Hedgehog.

Rapier Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yuji Naka has his own company I hope you're aware. Yeah, I do, but his new game looks nothing like Sonic (premise-wise, of course). I want another one with the same feel of the classic series, where enemy placement actually mattered and I couldn't boost through the stage without penalty.

MacLovin Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 a megaman spiritual sequel, a banjo-kazooie spiritual sequel, and now a castlevania one. when this gets on steam i will most definitely get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Miriam is totally NOTHING like Shanoa. Nope, not like her in the slightest. I'm not the most pleased that the FAQ basically said (in a few more words) "Screw underpowered Nintendo consoles" (as true as the underpowered part may be). But then again, it doesn't seem like they've shot themselves in the foot or anything. There's something simoultaneously hilarious and awesome that the ultimate stretch goal is David Hayter.

Loki Laufeyson Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Im throwing coin at the screen and numbers are going up. Seriously, this is awesome. Is he doing this because Konami is now batshit? im...confused as to why Iga of all people needs a kickstarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Miriam looks great. Game looks great. If we don't get a new Metroid game, hopefully this can help fill the gap. I checked the Kickstarter a few hours ago and it was in the 500k range, now it's over 800k. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical CC Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) The heroine looks bad and it seems like she doesnt belong there. Amateurs on pixiv can do much better job than that. She looks like a cheap ass artwork of some TCG browser games, so does the enemy in the first picture, whoever designed those things should be fired. At least her sword is cool but it suits PSO2 more. Shanoa is 1000 times better than her. Well, they will certainly change alot of thing so it's not important. Also, fire whoever came up with that UI, it's so distracting.

peener weener Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 even though miriam is meh, i think the actual crime against character design here is gebel. also lol you sure like to demand they fire people johannes is pretty cool though.

Loki Laufeyson Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I like how Miriam looks. I like how all the characters look. It reminds me of the old Ayami Kojima designs only less...gothic rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 $1,000,00 has been passed. I often see Kickstarter campaigns with stretch goals that look completely absurd, but this...I think this has the potential to reach whatever stretch goal they want to put in.

Knight Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) HYPE! This excites me greatly. I love the new MC. The villain is... not bad (but Hayter's voice might change my opinion). Overall, I'm very excited. EDIT: The music samples are also pretty cool. Edited May 12, 2015 by Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
