This made me feel way better about the "floatyness" I was seeing before. Cautiously optimistic again.

This is literally SOTN2/Sorrow3. I love it.

I've been reading a lot of outside hate towards this game, concerning the graphics and how it's going to be the Next Yooka-Laylee/MN9, "a 5.5 mil game should look better", It just goes to show how ignorant the gaming community can be when they are spoiled by AAA publishing and works from an already established source.

In reality 5.5Mil isn't alot considering that everything has to be established, almost everyhing is from scratch, and not to mention this is going to be a behemoth of a game on... on 5 platforms, and the costs of development/porting is way more expensive than one thinks (hell, the PC version alone is basically making 10 ports due to hardware combos).

I agree. A lot of people are totally unaware of the number of employees working between this game and a AAA game.
And they are trying to make this in a short period of time.

Anyway....
I love the cave sequence with the background spiraling.
The next area corridor is reminiscent of SotN.

Why does the Shanoa-looking girl keep stabbing herself? That seems kind of counterproductive.

Because she takes it in the chest.. it's why they increased her bust. *Zing*

Ok, I wasn't expecting "every" enemy to be a reskin of a castlevania enemy.  Forgive me for my listmania and laziness looking up their proper names.  Castlevania in all but name indeed.

Monkeys = Hunchbacks
Bone Creatures = Skeletons
Winged Demons = Harpies
Dullahan Heads = Medusa Heads
Lance Armor = Spear Guard
Demon Dogs = Black Panther
Vampiress = Carmilla

Another interview but with really interesting questions like how long IGA sleeps.

[Nagumo]

>IGA only sleeping 2 hours everyday
>Ordered to pump out Metroidvania's on a yearly basis with only half the development time SotN had
>Still got called a hack fraud who only knows how to make SotN clones by the CV fanbase

And here I thought this particular breed of idiots you described died out by now.

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.

And here I thought this particular breed of idiots you described died out by now.

Idiots like those will always be present across all game fandoms in all generations. People just don't realize that game development is hard work.

I still can't believe he sleeps less than a regular human.
