BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT aka the Spiritual successor of Symphony of the Night

I’m really glad this game is coming along, and I’m really glad I got a Vintagevania out of it to boot…but shit am I glad I didn’t donate and continue to not donate to kickstarters because the platform I always want these games on are the platforms that always get fucking canceled.

Probably shouldn’t even have planned for a Vita version in the first place. The writing was on the wall for it for some time now.

Vita still has life in Japan and southeast Asia. It sucks that version was cancelled. That was the version I wanted.

To be fair to Iga, it does sound like a Sony-made issue, not something on his end.

Timing, timing, timing.

With Sony dropping Vita support since years ago, I would have never backed a Vita version.

Is the title of that video “Single player is dead”? We really doin that song and dance again?

They are going to keep singing it, until it finally sinks in.

…that they’re losing money.

Probably when another company comes along and makes mad bank on us.

Linux and Mac ports canceled…

Not to be one of those guys but do people actually game on MAC and Linux?

Linux yes. Mac why bother. Apple products ain’t built for games.

Wow they’re cancelling a lot. I said the same thing about Linux tho, never knew anybody played games on that at all. Hopefully they don’t end up cancelling PS4 lol! I know they won’t but seems like they’re cancelling all the non-essential versions of the game as they see them.

Gaming on Linux is quite common. The problem is that few games have Linux support. Linux users will usually have a Windows duel boot, use a wrapper or configure some kernels to get games to run. Dropping the Linux port is a major bummer.

If that’s the case, gaming on Linux sounds like a pain in the ass

I’m hyped for this especially since they decided to keep it 2.5D

I don’t think there was ever a time it wasn’t going to be 2.5D?

No but metroidvania kiddies always cry when the games go anything beyond 2D and I wondered if IGA was going to bow to that pressure.

Really? Fans of the genre don’t have issues with 3D games like Arkham Asylum and Metroid Prime games.

Word.

And… a little known game in the genre, lost to the tides of time, had 3D in it.

What was its name, again?

Orchestra something something?
