I've pledged. More than I probably ought to without gameplay footage....but I like what I'm seeing thus far, and listening to Igarashi talk about the game, and I'm liking what I'm hearing.
I thought about what crisis had mentioned.....how the IGA-haters are suddenly all excited, and if that will backslide back into contempt for him if things don't pan out like we initially thought or the game takes too long or what have you.
Say what you will about Igarashi, but he's got passion for Castlevania and thus for this game that is officially his baby. Yeah, he's pulled some bonehead moves with certain things and there's a lot of "sameness" to some of his CV titles....but I know that the thought of losing those things entirely has given me a bit of perspective and I suppose a better appreciation of his work, and allows me to forgive those boneheaded decisions more. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he'll do his damndest to make this game everything he's saying he wants it to be.
