Yeah, I know how you feel man. I haven't given up on Bloodstained yet, 'cause I know how hard 505 is working to make it a success and I'm confident, given their experience and resources, that they'll do so. But given the problems even my successful Kickstarters have run into, I've completely lost faith in crowdfunding as a practical means of game development. I still toss little bits of money at projects I like (12 dollars for Forsaken Castle and Dark Devotion, 27 to Xenonauts 2, and the most I'll give is 65 dollars for an artbook for Blasphemous), but Phoenix Point is probably gonna be the last project I give over a hundred dollars to.

At this point I am fully confident that I would fund a Bloodstained 2.  Hell they could unveil the kickstarter tomorrow and I'd donate enough to make up for everyone in this thread who is pulling out.  I want Castlevania-like games.  As Castevania like as I can get, ideally that would be an actual Castlevania game, an Iga game is a close second.  If I have to wait so be it.  I've seen what the man can do in a crunch, I'm thrilled to see what he can do with actual time and money.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

I can't help but wonder if re-releasing SOTN for the ps4 prior to BS coming out was in some way a dig at Iga and ROTN to try and remind people of the iconicism of CV SOTN in particular. They are stupid for not at least considering a Switch release seeing as the majority of CuOTM consumers were on the Switch.

I think both games sort of benefit from the whole situation. When Bloodstained is finally out, people who like it will perhaps wanna play the game that inspired it, and it’s very convenient of Konami to make sure SotN is available for download when/if that happens. Well played! Meanwhile, SotN in 2018 could almost be considered an unintentional teaser for Bloodstained. I bet IGA is not mad at this at all and could use it to his advantage. It’s good for Bloodstained hype if people start talking about SotN again. Everyone wins.

I can't help but wonder if re-releasing SOTN...[is] in some way a dig at Iga and ROTN ...

Considering the way it's being released, it doesn't seem like a very good dig -- kinda like the kid on the playground who wasn't quite ready for a battle of wits and awkwardly retorts with something like, "Oh yeah? Well...you...your shirt!  It's...stupid!"

:-P

I guess I could see them turning a little profit from it at least -- as shel said, it's convenient to make this available on PS4 for any interest Bloodstained might generate, etc..  I'm disappointed though.  I don't find it very exciting or "pretty", and since I don't have a PS4 I'm certainly not gonna buy one just for this.
If the leak of a "new" title is true though, I wonder if it will also be a PS4 exclusive? (...based on the fact that this "collection" is exclusive) :-/

If I wasn’t afraid of barbers before, I am now!  Waiting for someone to do a Devilish Dentist next.

He was a barber yes. But his gimmic was to drop people from his specially fitted barber chair (at the top floor of his shop) down to the basement where they'd die on impact, and then he'd chop them up and put their remains into meat pies.

You can watch the Sweeney Todd movie starring Johnny Depp.

I'd prefer the the actual story as opposed to a film which has them breaking out into singing as if they're on stage  :P
