So, this is a Parappa knockoff.
Avoid this and play Parappa instead, or heck, play any Nana-On Sha game you get across if at all.

On one hand, I love PaRappa and Gitaroo Man

On the other, I'm iffy with Kickstarter. I was already burned by MN9 and Bloodstained, while it looks good, has been really slow with the updates. Also, a million bucks for a really niche genre will be tough

>>377013402

I went back to replay both. Parappa definitely is very dated now but Gitaroo Man is still great.

What rhythm games do you like or consider great anon?

Some of the stretch goals are pretty ludicrous. How does a single level for backers cost an extra 700k but another level after th at would cost another 2 million of what it would cost to get it developed

Its a means of "proving" to investors that interest exists. Money speaks a thousand times louder than petitions and polls.

It's ironic that kickstarter is now being used as a proving-ground for corporate interests, when the whole original point of crowdfunded games was to subvert publisher interference.

Kickstarter as a platform is just generally shady as fuck. Almost no project provides enough information sufficient to actually make an informed decision, they sell themselves on hype and nostalgia almost exclusively. If you took a Kickstarter project page and used it as a pitch to an actual publisher, they would laugh in your fucking face. Where is the budget? The costs breakdown? Where is any kind of prototype or proof-of-concept?

Even worse is that the projects are often actively deceptive. Even this one. See: >>377012801.
$700,000, Nearly two thirds of the base game's budget, for a single level and costume, when the base game itself is supposed to have 6 levels. It very obviously doesn't add up. Either they have massively overinflated the stretch goals as a way to extract more money from backers, or they have deliberately underestimated the cost of making the base game with the hope that they will exceed their goal, but allowing them to at least get SOME money if they don't.

Shit like this is why Kickstarter needs to force creators to provide information in project pitches. I want to see an actual budget. Where is all of that money actually going? How much is each part going to actually cost? No more just being able to throw out any figure you like without telling people why you need that much.

>It costs $2,000,000 to hit export to Xbone button instead of Steam/Ps4

I like the idea but the project just seems badly thought out

Rhythm games these days have a lot of songs, yeah sure they do neat stuff with these ones but it just isn't a good deal. The smart thing would be to have lots of songs and some main big ones, but that doesn't work with this weird rap battle idea they had.

Plus it is such a different look, I like Gitaroo Man's weird style but not this. And we don't even really know what the music is like anyway

1.1million is almost nothing when it comes to actually making a game. Dumb plebs just hear that figure and think it's a lot because it's a lot of money to personally have. I always laugh when people here tell me what they think a game should actually cost to make. But even 20 years ago decent games were costing in the 5-10 mil range.

But Rap Rabbit is still shady as fuck because the stretch goals don't line up with the initial project funding AT ALL. They want 1.1 mil for 6 levels, and then another 700k for one more. Clearly something else is at play here, because no one is that fucking bad at math. Most likely, 1.1 million is actually a very low-balled figure that is not even actually capable of funding the game the way they have pitched it. Instead they are hoping it will exceed that amount to achieve their actual, secret internal goal which would actually fund the game fully. But if it doesn't hit that amount, the low 1.1 figure means they still get SOME money and the publisher can pitch in the rest.

Kek devs want 5 mil. They'll be lucky if they break 3 million

So does anyone here actually have any legit criticisms of ERBoH, or are they just upset because it's popular and has "Epic" in the title?

>>377016442
For a niche game? It absolutely is. It doesn't have much to entice people who aren't interested in the genre and people who are are split between hopefully optimistic and skeptical. They've really overestimated the size of the fanbase and the multimillion dollar stretch goals are clear evidence of that. If they make it I'll eat my hat.

>>377026317
Honestly some of their videos are funny even if it is cringy pop reference and sometimes cheesy as fuck.

I can't lie I enjoyed a few of their stuff, and I can see what the devs would want to replicate from it.

>>377026545
Popularity of the genre doesn't have anything to do with the scale or budget.

>>377012801

This game is all I want from the Rythm genre but these stretch goals are absolutely fucking terrible.

I think you are the joke here buddy. Translation costs a lot to pay for especially if you are paying for good Translators to work on something.

I would give it time it just launched they will most likely post something within the first ten days.

5 million is definitely possible under the condition that this has to be promoted as furry fandom-friendly product. I'll wait until near deadline if it'll get exclusive level for backer or not, then I'll probably choose cheap reward option to get that level.

>>377014123
Alright I will buy it on Steam then instead of my PS4. Sony fanboys deserve to cry after being so selfish to have a series that helped put the PlayStation on the map to fail.

This is the equivalent of wanting the creators of Wario Ware to fail when they want to Kickstart a new game. Nintendo fans at least care enough to poney up and not bitch and find faults with things.

>>377014826
Visual novel get crowdfunding all the time and they do not have demos.

>>377028475
Most of them do, unless you're talking about the Japanese companies bringing over their own games and those don't need demos because you can just download the games through your favorite torrent website and apply a fan TL when applicable.

FAQ just got updated.

>Why are the funding and stretch goal targets so high?

This is a game we have dreamed of developing for a very long time, but with many publishers afraid to invest in the rhythm-action genre we’ve been unable to secure the funds to make Project Rap Rabbit at the quality we expect and you deserve. Ours is an ambitious project that requires us to design and perfect innovative mechanics and multiple songs, which is neither a cheap nor quick task to do right. Making this game for $500,000 wouldn’t be possible!

Though we would love to lower the targets – or do away with them altogether and just make Project Rap Rabbit without turning to Kickstarter - we need to be realistic about the costs involved in developing a AAA music game. While some other Kickstarter projects have been in a position where they were able to fund partly through Kickstarter and secure investment from outside sources, or have underestimated the goals needed to match their full ambition, we need to raise a large percentage of the full amount required to finish development and release Project Rap Rabbit.

This is your chance to prove to the industry that publishers have got it wrong: that there is still demand for story-led music games, and that the rhythm-action genre has a bright future.

>>377017310
>Where is the money going

You should be an investigator on the Donald Trump Russia collusion ;).

>>377015454
Pic game can be good if you dont get matched with retards

With the number of original tracks in games like Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Thief, $40 seems somewhat steep for 6-8 tracks today despite the track records of both companies involved.

>>377017378
Yooka Laylee and eventually Shenmue 3. Honestly I find it funny that everyone gets mad about costs but would throw there money at games that they wanted for years.

No need to waste your money, Sony-, PC- and XONE-bros. Switch is the last goal, so Nintendo-bros are going to fund it for us.

>>377017658
It costs a lot to port a game over especially making sure it works. It's much more honest than Inafune was about really overcharging by 2 million just for all 3 ports.

Alright Donald Trump it's time to get off 4chan.

Also on the FAQ.

>But what about Nintendo Switch? It wouldn’t take almost $4 million to port it.
Correct. We are building for four platforms while adding a game mode, extra difficulty (remember the cheerleader difficulty level in Elite Beat Agents?) and extra levels (a music game lives and dies by its levels of course!). We also must factor in the various fees and cost of goods to fulfill backer shipments (including console platform fees) and the Kickstarter platform fee to make sure we can safely meet our goals. We do NOT want to be in a position where we are fabricating low goals and then failing to deliver because of that. We need to be sensible about our development resources and ensure we neither bankrupt our development studios nor under deliver on our vision of making the most innovative rhythm-action title in generations.

>AAA

>>377018157
>I'm Jewish

Alright no need to listen to the Jew and fund the Kickstarter then.

>>377030135
CONT.

The ordering and pricing structure of our Stretch Goals are designed to protect the quality of Project Rap Rabbit and the viability of our development studios, and are not driven by any other agenda. We are desperately keen to develop Project Rap Rabbit for all major formats, and are tremendously excited by Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch version is set to a higher tier as it requires game data to be specifically adapted for the console from the PS4 and PC versions due to the differing performance characteristics of that platform.

Development of Project Rap Rabbit is well underway using Unreal Engine 4, which means we’re in a great position to port Project Rap Rabbit to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Because of format architecture and studio experience, it’s easier and less expensive for us to initially focus on PS4 and PC versions, followed by an Xbox One title. We must be mindful of the costs needed for development kits and extra staff, and conscious of the fact that this will be our first title for Nintendo’s new console if we hit our Stretch Goal. It is important that we ensure Project Rap Rabbit is fully polished and perfected for every launch platform.

>What happens if you don’t make the $1.1 million target?
We have turned to Kickstarter to secure the funding for Project Rap Rabbit. If we do not meet this goal we will, sadly, be unable to continue with development.

I didn`t play anything like that. beatmania(the very first one) was the first time I actually tried to play a rhythm music game.

>>377012748

That's a big stretch.

> Rap and lyrics are part of the gameplay
Good translation will be impossible and there's nothing the localization team can do about it

>>377020991
Agreed and the irony is Yooka Laylee turned out to be decent actually. This game is something I would like and am hoping to actually play in the future.

>>377030681
Pretty sure they're focusing completely on the game being in english, since that's how Parappa is.

>>377030797
Sales won't be great if english is the only language available

>>377031134
That didn't stop Parappa from being fairly successful and the menus will probably be both English and Japanese unless the stretch goals are met. Honestly considering what the game will be like it'd be best to just keep it in English I just wish they had an example of how the gameplay would work especially when free styling.

>>377029680
To be fair Tim Schafer is more of a evil Jew than any Japanese company. He always goes over budget and over promises a lot. Japanese at least stay within budget and try not to over promise.

>>377030681
I doubt the translation is even going to try to be 1:1, it's hard to translate a rap and keep it on the same rhythm and with the same rhyming potential.

Chances are they're just gonna make different lyrics for different languages with the same overall gist.

Sounds cool but they showed no gameplay, I hope this'll be a thing and a good thing too but for now it's too vague.

>>377030239
If they expect Nintendo fans to carry them then they better post on Nintendo switch Reddit then otherwise it's over. Because honestly I think it can get to the funding stage but they will need to show off a demo and music within the first two weeks.

I think that is why they are trying to make a new series with similar spirit to Parappa The Rapper but a new take on the gameplay is to make a series that sells well. Because honestly if this was Parappa the rapper 3 you would hear everyone complain about it.

>>377032289
I was going to mention Inafune but he is an Anomaly it's rare that it happens. Do not forget Peter Molynuex as well as he is worse than Tim Schafer and Inafune.

>>377032480
at least that one shut the hell up recently

back to your point of budget, did you see that stretch goal list? they want to have huge success, they won't make game with 1 mil alone of base goal

>>377031918
They don't have any music. A huge portion of the budget is going to be needed to hire musicians to write and record the songs, which are going to be even more complex/expensive than regular songs due to the variable lyrics mechanics.

They aren't going to blow that money when they don't even know if they're going to be able to make the game yet. At absolute best, they could link to some existing artists/songs which they are taking inspiration from.

>>377031382
The issue is with his the whole idea is you pick your lines which I guess is mean to lead up to it. So language is key. Parappa was all just beats. You could easily ignore the English and just follow with how the music plays.
