Is there a projected release date yet?

Is there a projected release date yet?

it would be shallow and rushed if they release only the story campaign, adding the other modes/content after launch

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/07/09/bloodstained-developers-considering-staggered-model-releasing-content/

it would also mean the physical version would be incomplete, since without internet and add on downloads, players don't have the full intended content that the kickstarter listed. 

so that is downsides to rushed release.     if they push it back further,  people will get impatient, but the game could have a complete edition launch, with larger first impressions and more epic amount of content available, instead of waiting, and physical versions dont have to wait for patches/DLC to get the other things.

so yea, this really shouldn't be like PS1 SOTN, which cut content for the sake of getting the base game out there.

they should complete the entire game and include all the modes and features the kickstarter listed, all available at release since day 1.

As long as the full 1p campaign isn't complete they shouldn't release it.

yea but the kickstarter is more than just the story campaign.  its still incomplete without all the modes and content that are fully funded to be developed. 

so launching it with any of the kickstarter stuff missing, would still result in an incomplete Bloodstained version.  even later digital downloads, would be seen as a patched incomplete game instead of a definitive full version. 

they would have to launch a complete physical digital version afterwards if they truly wanna have a full content version.

But they have to be realistic. We receive sporadic updates on this which is now scheduled for 2018(?). Are they really going to have all of those modes implemented in time? Don't know bout anyone else but I don't see that happening until 2019 at the earliest.

As long as the 1p game is completed I'd be fine with it. That should be the developer's primary concern. The bells & whistles can wait a bit more.

What of the people who want the physical version, that is, if it were to be released incomplete?
Assuming it runs off a disc and isn't just installed via disc.

I want to get my hands on a physical copy myself. The internet is the lazy way out in terms of retail.

IGA going for the FFXV route, eh? lol
Expect a gazillion update patches. Internet connection is required.

At first I was excited but every time they make dev update the looks and feels worse and worse.

As I see the last gameplay video MoF was looking better than this.

I hope I am wrong!

GOOD UPDATE

Miriam should get more appealing hairstyles that are of Bloodless's hair length. Miriam would look gorgeous with an SOTN Alucard hairstyle (except with black hair)

and wouldn't require physics or much physics to look good (Samurai Warriors 4 hairstyles don't really have much physics and the longer hair styles still look great).

as for launching Bloodstained with staggered released content, that seems like their last resort, but that would still definitely reduce its review scores, first impressions and general reception releasing incomplete without all the stretch goals content included.  no excuses can make most people understand.

yea its better patched updates adding everything else over time instead of cut content, however,
Bloodstained would get a lot more praise, higher scores, higher sales,
 and be a more valuable game with everyone included day 1.

if the estimated date is too close to include it all, they should develop a definition edition down the road just like
I think Bloodborne released a new physical definitive edition with all the latest expansion and patches.

of course the physical versions are not gonna be definitive, which is a shame they are gonna be incomplete versions.
dependance on internet and online patches/DLCs to get all the other planned content, is an upside and a downside.

sigh, and was so hyped for Boss Revenge mode, that's probably not coming until who knows much much months after.

Did I miss something? IGA and the team announced that the game will be released but not in full? There will be only a portion of the game?
