Fuck you for actually making me click on it, faggot.

MN9 was garbage, Azure Striker Gunvolt is shovelware trash, and the Mega Man Zero games are the only ones they ever did worth talking about. Even then, they're not exactly God's gift to gaming or anything, since you could make a top 25 list of GBA games, and only one would be there near 20 ~ 25

I have absolutely zero expectations for Bloodstained, but the fact that Inti Creates isn't with the project anymore is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Stop trying to make it a bad thing.

You can't have it both ways where "MN9 is shit partly because they had a shit dev team!" and try to reverse it a few years later to "Bloodstained is shit partly because they fired the competent devs!"

Good. They can only do small budget 2D games these days. They can't developer bigger projects worth shit,especially with the unreal engine.

Who's Artplay, though? Iga's studio?

>>385031503
lol. And I'm not defending it, I've always hated this, it probably helped lead to my eventual pessimism with vidya games, but back when I started browsing this board in 2006 that's been the one thing I can say for certain has never changed. This place loves the doom and gloom of games failing.

The game itself is okay, but bland, soulless and empty. Even by collectathon standards it's a bit lame. Like the Banjo levels are smaller, more interconnected, and better thought out. Yooka is just empty rooms with like 3 enemies.

>>385030428
If Inti were having that much trouble getting rid of them is a good thing, but the fact the development has reached this point is a pretty bad sign. Kicking them off this late suggests a rescue attempt, and unless they're going to start over (which they can't because of funding and time) that's hard to do successfully. Who knows, it might still be good.

I wasn't expecting anything better than the DS games to begin with, though.

But Inti-Creates weren't primarily responsible for Mighty Number 9; Comcept were. Mighty Number 9 had:

>The level designer for Mega Man 1, 2, 5 and 6 handling Game Design
>The Alpha 3, Darkstalkers character designer working on character design
>Music was handled by the same woman from Mega Man 1
>The art designer from Legends
>The director was the old design lead for the Star Force games
>Produced by Jewfune

The characters, enemies, music, level design, game design, art and sound were all handled by Mega Man veterans. Trouble is, just because they could do it 25 years ago on NES, doesn't mean they can do it in today's much more modern engines.

If anything, it failed BECAUSE inti-creates didn't develop it.

>>385038978
>But Inti-Creates weren't primarily responsible for Mighty Number 9; Comcept were.

Comcept are a game studio. They are artists, and "conceptors". That is, they are part fo the fun early part of game design when they make the story/characters and then they fuck off and do other work. For MN9, they hired Inti-Creates to actually make the game. They did like 90% of it. Comcept does NOT make games, I can't stress this enough. This is an area people get really confused on.

>Produced by Jewfune

He wasn't even the producer, but higher up. He was the CEO of Comcept, the "conceptor" and came up with the design for Trinity.

Nick Yu was the producer.

>The characters, enemies, music, level design, game design, art and sound were all handled by Mega Man veterans. Trouble is, just because they could do it 25 years ago on NES, doesn't mean they can do it in today's much more modern engines.

The returning MM devs from the old games were all artists or musicians. It was a bit bait/switch. None of the key planners, programmers, or directors from the original or Classic series returned. And music/art was never really the problem with MN9. It was all programming, engine, etc. Everything handled by Inti-Creates.

Some of the staff however, did work on Mega Man 9, Mega Man zero games, or Mega Man Advent CX.

>>385031346

IGA is a snake. Artplay is a ruse. He created it just for bloodstained. Their were no chinamen backers. And china branch is also working on this by making models.

Artplay even removed that one game they are working on in their website. This should tell you what artplay is all about. You can still find the game if you search for it on google.

Iga is a snake.

Who are the new devs?

>>385041352

Woah, seriously? Tell me more.

The official story is that he's Co-Founder of Artplay, and the Chinese branch makes Mobile games. But I have never heard of this Chinese branch, or the games they're making or have made. You're saying this is all lies?

So does this mean he's the CEO of Artplay and not just an exec or producer?

>>385036732

You're fucking backwards in all ways that count, faggot. This has literally nothing to do with MN9 considering that Inti Creates was in charge of every single development duty for the game which is why it spread itself too thin. Here we have specialized teams focusing on their area of expertise.

A vita version will come out cause they have a specialized porting team with experience on porting Vita games.

It gets fucking better. Did you watch the twitch livestream? Inafune and the game was getting NOTHING but shit thrown at him in the chat. I joined in. People were spelling "Konman" phoenetically in Japanese. I thought it was just silly fun. So not only was Inafune and Ben Jud seeing the chat, but the ENTIRE company was watching the stream as well. I can't find it now, but there's pics of the pathetic cheap party Comcept held, where they had the stream on the big screen, totally oblivious to the hate they were getting in English.

Inafune then straight up apologized on stream. Afterwards the stream was deleted.

Why? Igarashi doesn't exactly have the most stellar of track records.

Harmony of Dissonance
Aria/Dawn of Sorrow
Portrait of Ruin
Order of Ecclesia
Lament of Innocence
Curse of Darkness
Judgment

Symphony and Circle of the Moon weren't Igarashi. Symphony was Hagihara's game. Circle was the N64 team. IGA was only the assistant director for Symphony.

Lament, Curse of Darkness and Judgment were all irredeemable trash. Portrait and Harmony were only "good." Just because IGA attaches his name to something doesn't mean it'll be high quality. There's all the chance in the world it'll only turn out "okay."

I'm less worried about Mercury Steam 's Metroid seeing as that gigantic faggot Enric Alvarez isn't involved.

Metroid look fine so far although the counter is retarded and the special powers are irrelevant broken crap. I'd be much more excited for it if I hadn't played AM2R.

Okay, he co-wrote with Furukawa, and was co-programmer along with "Gagensai. F" (who?), Toru Hagihara, and Kousuke Iwakura. So he didn't do those roles alone. He wasn't producer for the project, that was Toru Hagihara. He was assistant director after Hagihara left mid-way through.

Hagihara had the biggest hand, as producer, director, and co-programmer.

>>385042910
>Maybe we went a little too far with Mr. Cagey Inafune?
In hindsight maybe, but just like what happened with Peter Molyneux and his crowdfunded game Godus, not one bit of it was undeserved. Especially because in Inafune's case he tried to make MN9 a multimedia empire before it got off the ground, tried to launch another KS while MN9 wasnt out yet, and his company should be infamous with their poor fan communication, especially with their radio silence since October. It took them until fucking June to say that they finished backer rewards and a week ago to confirm they were getting shipped out.

>>385030428
This really confirms my worries that Inti Creates is fucking incompetent with Unreal Engine 3 if they're now relegated to the mini game while another third party developer has to do the work.

>>385045161
>It took them until fucking June to say that they finished backer rewards and a week ago to confirm they were getting shipped out.

It's because they literally had no money to do it. They're not scammers, just fools. It was only after Level 5 bought them that they were able to deal with backer rewards. Level 5 probably wants to get over this nonsense.

I had lots of fun with all of those games and if Bloodstained turns out the be of the same quality as AoS I'm fine with that.

Inti were fired over a year ago, and since then the game has improved dramatically (compare the E3 2016 demo to the E3 2017 one). The new devs are doing a good job based on all we've been shown so what's the problem?

>>385045142

> So he didn't do those roles alone.

No one said he did, just stating facts in reply to your bullshit downplay of his roles as a developer and how SotN isn't "him". He was a fucking jack of all trades and then directed the latter portion of development, it's outright retarded to say the game isn't his as much as it was Hagihara's.

You're not alone, but how many of the team behind those games is even working on Bloodstained? IGA was always a producer first and foremost. He wasn't like Kojima. A game is only as good as its development team, and it doesn't seem like any of them are working on Bloodstained.

Still, hope it's fun.

>It's because they literally had no money to do it
That probably was the reality, since MN9 and Recore probably bombed commercially. Its still frustrating though that they were silent this long and are still difficult to communicate with, but at least they actively seem to be trying to right a wrong.

True. Here's hoping he pulled together the right talent for the job.

New about page:

>Representative
>Representative Director Koji Igarashi

The Chinese representitive is removed. What are we to make of this? My take is that Igarashi and "Feng Gang" co-founded Artplay as a mobile company. This is so that Iga can put some food on the table since he's out of work. The two owners are either on equal footing, or Feng Gang is his boss. Iga however, longs to create proper console games. With the added kickstarter funds, Igarashi then buys Feng Gang's share to become the sole owner of Artplay. Is this a reasonable interpretation?

Nice job padawan, Now dig more. Find Artplay's other game and Iga's chink connection.

Man, all this on how people are reacting seems like a witch hunt. I remembered many were surprised and happy about the E3 demo.

Can't you guys not overreact and wait until the new demo gets released?

>>385030428

>Post yfw you didn't back this imminent trainwreck.

Aria of Sorrow Randomizer Chaos mode for maximum replayability

Because /v/ is more open about it now than a few months prior.

Anyone really wonder how one guy can create a really high production pitch video, travel all around and seemingly great global marketing when he has nowhere near that capacity? And this is before that kickstarter/crowdfund and he "just got a new job".

I'm talking about this. And check who's the leg model.

You're expecting too much from /v/ or the modern day internet. Its hard to blame people, after being burned so much the only thing to do is to go into all games under the impression they're bad until you're proven wrong. This comparison is bad because the two games are in different genres with massively different budgets, but the new Doom despite having a horrible E3 reveal, a terrible multiplayer, and a slow demo actually ended up being a fun game with a good PC port, although not without its flaws.

I think that interpretation is wrong. Iga is not listed as President, but director. So I think he's an exec and runs the Japanese branch of Artplay. Feng Gang probably is still President. I'm just throwing out plausible theories.

> Find Artplay's other game

I remember looking at their site before, and seeing it, then it was removed. it's called "Code S Plan". Has it been cancelled?

You mean Feng Gang?

I am seeing reports of Iga appearing at a Chinese game conference. And we see the Chinese head of Artplay. nice to be given a face to this mysterious person. Now what should I be looking for?

You're getting close on the other fronts. Dig more.

>>385047857

Iga was talking to 505 games who wanted assurance that there was public interest in metroidvanias.

There's no tinfoil hat conspiracy here. Just developers getting money for projects. Why the fuck do kikestarter projects bring out all of the GUBMINT CUNTSPIRACY retards out of the woodwork?

>>385048496

>>385048496
>Iga was talking to 505 games who wanted assurance that there was public interest in metroidvanias.

Ben Judd said that they talked to publisher after publisher and no one was interested in bank rolling the game.

>Prior to his departure, news of the success of the Kickstarter for Mighty No. 9, a Mega Man-inspired game produced by the former series producer and artist Keiji Inafune, had reached Japan, and inspired Igarashi that this could be a similar route to obtain funding for a new game.[9] Following his departure, he began pitching for funding of a new game with the help of Digital Development Management's Ben Judd, who has also assisted with Mighty No. 9's funding.[9] They approached more than twenty publishers with the pitch, but found that none of them were willing to help. According to Judd, while Igarashi's reputation reduced the risk involved with the title and the projected budget was modest, the publishers were skeptical. Japanese publishers want to make sure that the American and European markets would want the title, and Castlevania games historically were not as well received in European markets. Western publishers believed the Japanese origins of the games were too strange for them.[9] After six months with no success, Igarashi opted to join mobile developer ArtPlay as a paying job, but worked with the company to assure that he would be free to continue to pursue this new game idea.[9]

So presumably Artplay are the ones who funded the early pitch video.

In what? Kickstarter games? Becuase the only real blunders that I see are MN.9, project phoenix and maybe Yooka-laylee. People getting all pessimistic and thinking there's a bigger picture of why someone is scamming them.

I thought the demo eased the worries and doubts of anons since it's actually looks what people wanted.

What's the source for that? The current about page gives him the same status as before.

The news articles say Feng Gang was the CEO in 2015, but I am not sure if he is no longer.

I'm an idiot. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for. Can you not string me along anymore and just tell me?

>People are discussing on how Iga made a decent pitch video like it's a fucking conspiracy
Alright, clearly it's going downhill from here.

>>385048459
We knew that a publisher (505) was helping to partially fund the game during the Kickstarter campaign. They were involved from the beginning.

>>385049115
There are a bit more crowdfunded games that ran off with the money, the notable ones being smaller releases like Starforge which were early access survival clunkers. Its also because the risk with crowdfunding is inherently huge, as you are basically paying for the promise of an idea to come to fruition. People are also really impatient.

That said I wasnt able to play Bloodstained's demo since I didnt back it or any KS game, so no clue if that was alright.

We're curious how he got the money to pay for it all. That's like 50 thousand probably for the entire kickstarter campaign, including the video.

>>385049407

Give me the sources. No publisher was mentioned at the time. They went to the kickstarter since they couldn't get publishers.
