Ugh, no PS3 release. That sucks hard. Makes me rethink if I'll pledge.

Bloodstained's Kickstarter just hit $2.25 million, which means the Retro Level has been unlocked! Next up: Classic Mode and the Basement Key

As someone who doesn't have a PS4 or Xbone and would probably need a GPU upgrade to run it on PC, I've still gotta say that given the 2017 release date, they're probably better off not porting to PS3 and 360. By 2017 very few games will be releasing on these systems, not to mention that they'd have to rebuild the game in Unreal 3 to do it I think. It'd probably cost them more than they'd stand to make on the platforms.

I don't think this game is going to be THAT demanding, all things considered.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you are a console gamer, save up for a PS4 (Or Xbone if that's your thing.). You have two whole years. TWO. YEARS. It's unreasonable to expect the PS3 to be relevant in 2017. Also, in two years time the PS4/Xbone will be much cheaper than it is now. Also, there will be more to play on them by then (if people don't want one right now because of lack of games). And if all else fails (and you have pledged $60 for a physical copy and STILL haven't bought a new console by 2017) you can always sell the game when that day comes.

That's what I'm deciding to do.  What with Shadow of Mordor being really laggy on the PS3, The Witcher 3, and this, I think that I'm just going to try and save for a PS4.  Heck, I bought my PS3 for LoS and Assasin's Creed 2.

I've worked out that I can afford to pledge $100.  Pledge has been made. 

Quick question regarding the KS (having never made a pledge before).  When signing up, does it matter if your account name doesn't match your real name?  I want my Forum username as my name in the credits.

I would say 4 million at the absolute maximum. It certainly is slowing down, though we do have many days left, more than 20, so that's good. Add in last-ditch additions and I see 3 million being all but certain, 3.5 if we're lucky, and 4 if we're very lucky.

Also, don't forget that they haven't posted how much people have pledged through PayPal. That should be at around $100k right now judging by Mighty No. 9 numbers.

by 2017 the x360 & ps3 will be obsolete but ppl still want ports of CURRENT gen games on last gen hardware? come on son

its like when ps3 was still widely used but i was still hearing about ppl only owning a ps2 and gamecube. i bet some of yous still only have a ps2 and nothing else. its like using a 56k dial up modem in 2015. its like asking if avengers will see a VHS tape release. its like still using ur first email DragonLordXx27@aol.com for resumes. its like still using a flip phone when everything nowadays is touch screen. come on son

I don't know why people are freaking about performance issues. This isn't Crysis or some cutting-edge 3D game. I doubt it'll be any more demanding than Guacamelee.

They will contact you via e-mail asking all this kind of info (which name show in credits, for which platform you want the game copy, etc.) AFAIK.

Thanks, Lelygax!  :)  What I figured, but wanted to double check.

There was a 2.5D game released this year that my PC ran at a silky smooth 24 fps so I'm still betting I'll need a GPU upgrade. Okay okay, it was 30 fps like 75% of the time but there were drops, sometimes to 24 and it was disgusting.

It just depends on how much they push the engine, really. There could be all types of crazy effects and lightning in the game.

We'll have to wait...
