>IGA only sleeping 2 hours everyday

I do have doubts about this. While it is possible, the average adult requires at least six hours of sleep. Any less and said person is headed for trouble. IGA would have to take frequent power naps to assists his two hours sleep schedule or he will run into health problems. Mainly those revolving around his emotional and mental health.

And here I thought this particular breed of idiots you described died out by now.
that (2 hour sleep and the rest of the >implications) was nearly 10 years ago, when he was still at konami.

they couldn't have changed/"die out" since you're looking at the past that you're probably remembering and comparing it to.

It's probably unlikely that it was every single night of a man's life. But you can get away with 3-4 hours a night. I've done it for a long time, probably 4-5 years straight.

It's something that is decently common among Manga artists. Eichiro Oda, the One Piece Author, is known for Sleeping 2 hours a day. This is pretty unhealthy though, and I don't think IGA would have as much of a need as an artist for a weekly manga. Hope he doesn't die early because of it, like a lot of manga artists have.

This mentality has always driven me crazy... were Cv3, chronicles, scv4 etc clones of cv1?  Games in a series are supposed to be fundamentally similar, that's what makes them a series.  I loved SoTN,  more games in that style is exactly what I wanted after I played it.  And the quality Iga was able to uphold under the circumstances is downright miraculous.  At least he got to go out with a bang, OoE is right up there with SoTN. In some ways superior.

Well about that, it's because the style and gameplay is the foundation and the main identity of the series so it's no brainer that it will follow the same formula on the next games like CV3, Chronicles, SCV4.
SOTN on the other hand while it's a great game there's a gray side on it like it plays way more different from the previous games as it borrows quite heavily from Super Metroid making it somewhat a game from a different series, Let's not forget the reason IGA changed it's formula since SOTN is to make it "sell more" since RPG type games are becoming a trend during the game's development and even after the game's release, I still won't buy on the old CV games ended up on bargain shops as his reason since at that time the 8-bit and 16-bit consoles are dead at that point so it's quite natural that some of it's games will end up on a bargain. Other series from Konami that released on PSX like Gradius, Goemon and Metal Gear(Solid) still feels and plays like from their previous games and not straying too much from their original formula.

Has anyone ever put so much of themselves into something that you felt that thing was drawing upon your essence?

I have once. It was very exhausting. The human body has its limits and can only endure so much before something goes wrong.

I agree. I think during Uni I did so many all nighters with zero sleep that I saw the sunrise around 500 times. The most I ever did was 3 consecutive in a row in my last year, I was at breaking point on that 4th day.

Yeah several times. I don't like that feeling since I always get sick after. But sometimes the need arises. le sigh

it's looking very interesting.

considering they said their favorite outside their own games, is CVIII because it doesn't tell a story but rather the stroy unfolds through the gameplay progression, maybe they will take some tips from Dark Souls when it comes to progression and being more subtle with story, so players can interpret things more deeply and stuff, instead of hamfisted plot made to entertain instead of immerse.

think the less story driven it is, the more open its castle progression and nonlinear it could be.

I imagine it's probably going to take a while to get a lot of that stuff (such as classicvania mode, rougelike mode, and boss revenge mode), and we may have to wait as long/longer than we've had to wait for all the content in Shovel Knight to drop. I imagine it'll all be worth the wait, but I do hope IGA isn't just stuck developing for this one game forever. That's kind of how I've felt with the Shovel Knight team, though it has all been pretty successful for them, so it'll be easier to fund their next outing (which is what I'm interested in seeing at this point).

Classicvania mode is the biggest reason for me personally I'm anticipating/excited for Bloodstained.
