Is Shenmue III going to be shit?

Is it supposed to look like a PSP game?

>>386034926
>Is Shenmue III going to be shit?

The original cost 60 million dollars. Do you think any publisher is going to throw 60 million at Shenmue?

>>386033489
>FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
You're forgetting the 8 Million or whatever that the publisher also kicked in.

>>386035038
They aren't coding the engine from the ground up this time, they're using existing toolsets so they don't need to dedicate gobs of cash to refine things like facial tech.

The facial tech was the most sophisticated part of the Shenmue engine.

Is Indivisible going to be shit?

>>386035082

source?

Because I was in fact looking that up just recently. I SWEAR 505 games throw like 5 million at it, but I can't find any info.

I'm a backer and none of the stuff I've seen backers actually complain about is ever mentioned in these threads. It's just circlejerking about how it's going to be the same as Mighty no. 9 and posting cherry picked webms.

Nothing on how much 505 games chipped in.

the power up animations are way too obnoxious, but the rest of it looks pretty good.

>>386035345
Youre still stupid

Why does the artwork looks so fucking horrible? There's thousands of talented artists on pixiv and yet they chose the one that makes the heroine look like a man?

>>386035398
Yeah, not anymore, guess they took it out.

When the campaign launched there was a literal line somewhere explaining how the Kickstarter was an interest gauge for the publisher and the publisher was going to kick in like 8 Mil or something if the game hit the minimum.

They probably took it out when they hit the minimum. Or at some point in general because some people don't like that.

Gameplay wise, it looks to feel exactly like SOTN, but the 3d graphics totally ruin it. Why are these nostalgia spiritual successors insisting on 3d?

i get thats its supposed to be castlevania but would it kill them to add absolutely anything unique and new?
its just aria of sorrow expect it manages to look worse than a GBA game

give me a reason to play it over just going back and playing one of the better older games

>>386035808
>Why are these nostalgia spiritual successors insisting on 3d?

The pressures of being a modern HD game mean they have to go 3D. Traditional spritework is prohibatively expensive in HD. Drawn sprites are still pretty costly. Tansaku vanias typically have 250+ enemies with all their own unique everything, so imagine making that in HD. So my feeling is that they're aiming so high, it ends up making the project worse.

The people who played these games are perfectly fine with lower resolution graphics.

>>386033489
>typing out laughter

Is this going to have good music works.

>>386036217
>give me a reason to play it over just going back and playing one of the better older games

1. It's a NEW game. I played the last 7 heavily already. Nothing else really has the same formula. Most of the "metroidvanias" are really just Metroids, or simple platformers with some interlocking levels. I want some catchy music playing while my character runs around some place with a sword, exploring and fighting and doing cool shit.

2. Potential new games. Maybe the first one is a bit rough, but this will establish Artplay, and they will then improve upon the formula. This is an investment into a company. If Bloodstained fails, then Artplay is just gonna focus on mobile trash and Iga will join Inafune, Matsuno, etc in old devs forced to work on this shit.

>>386033489
after playing it I have one change that would fix the game almost entirely.
speed the game up by x1.5
You can even speed the video up by that to see what I'm talking about.

>>386033489
>That bizarre ass pose after every shard intake
>Non-optional shard intake
>The rooms all feel totally barren/Stale
>No music at all

Still, they're at least for sure making it and it doesn't look bad. Sitting squarely at mediocre as it is.

>>386036217
From my experience with the demo it plays more like a hybrid of Aria of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia, and the soul/shard system has been expanded a bit.

There's now six types of shards instead of three: Magic attacks, passive boosts, directional magic controlled with the right stick, familiars, skills, and some unknown type that probably functions like the elemental equips in Lament of Innocence from the way it sounds. Weapons can still be improved with a synthesis system, but now you do it by gathering materials like in Curse of Darkness rather than wasting souls on them.

It's nothing groundbreaking but it seems like the goal is to mix elements from all of Igarashi's games to create a solid foundation for the series moving forward. Which would be boring if this was another yearly handheld Castlevania but it's been nearly a decade since the last one.

it's gonna be the mighty number 5 of our generation

I love Dragon's Crown, but Dragon's Crown had maybe like, 30 or so total rooms for the entire game. With maybe about 14 color swapped enemies, a couple of bosses, and the 6 heroes, that's really not a lot. Probably half of the money went into the food porn and George going out to eat every day because there's no way that foodie wouldn't.

What really shocks me is why the fuck it's taking them so long to make their next game about the robots.

>>386040690

Both Castlevania and Bloodstained really aren't the same without the music blasting in the background. I didn't back the game but I got the ship demo from MEGA and really liked it. The boss in this new demo also looks rad and on point.

The stage could have a lot more enemies on screen for how open it is and the background lighting needs lots of work still. That's about it. I think this is shaping up nicely. To imply this will be another flop on the level of MN9 is just stupid. Nothing will ever be as insulting as MN9.

In every metroidvania game in the series you unlock abilities that speed up the character substantially.
I'm guessing the slow initial speed is an intentional design choice so you feel like a badass when you get the dash and high jump abilities.

>>386042423

Games rarely have their own foley work, so they buy from sound effects libraries.

There's a reason you hear "Doom doors" all over the place.

I remember like 5 years ago I gave 20 dollars to a kickstarter for a game with him on board that was supposed to be the spiritual successor to FFT and Tactics Ogre

It's still not out and the last I heard from it, all the big names they had on board jumped ship and the last update said they were putting the project on hiatus and pumping out some other mobile game to pay back some debts and secure more capital

>>386033489

>>386033489

>>386043145

That game was a bit of a scam. So Matsuno is out of work, and desperate for anything. Some devs ask him to work on something so he grabs it. They spin it as "THE RETURN OF MATSUNO TO MAKE A FFT SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR"!.

It was just some devs seeing the Inafune Magic and wanting a bit of the action by exploiting an old dev.

How do you know it's shit? You haven't even played it. They have plenty of time to iron everything out.

The irony will always be to me is Inafune had the game released but yet Matsuno never released the game at all and just ran away with the money literally. That is the definition of a scam.

At worst Inafune was guilty of over hyping his games and not realizing that hype can destroy trust when it's just a mediocre game that did not deserve it.

How come nobody complains about Project Phoenix? Now that was a scam.

Because 2D art is well on its way to becoming a lost skillset. And I'm not just talking about video games. Or movies and TV, even. I mean in general. Look back at everything from advertising to public service campaigns and all other sorts of graphic design back in the 80s and 90s. Notice how many drawings and paintings there were. Now notice how today there are none. Everything's digital photo manipulation and 3D CG.

>>386045694

Seems like the characters are not really part of the environment. Like they are floating in front of everything.

I'd rather have a new Classicvania. We got a Metroidvania every fucking year for like a decade straight. Do we really need more?

They have different shaders applied. The characters have a more cartoon style, but the environments are flat. The characters just stnad out.

jap devs dont realize that 2d animations translate poorly on a 3d model. Plus the lack of shading in the background with the hilariously cel shaded characters look silly and make them pop out too much. the game does look really cool though.

It's kikestarter still a thing? You'd think retards would learn something after so much money wasted on garbage.

Literally any time I see *breaths in* as an opening post I have to assume OP is a faggot. I guess I'll keep being 100% right.

It looks fine

This looks like an xbox live arcade game from like 2011. I'd buy if it's like $10.

>>386033489
Well it's still very far from perfect but at least they made some progress since the first videos.

If you have to be cheap and use 3d, why can't you at least make decent 3d models instead of making it look like a cheap indie game?

>>386045110
Is this a game? if so could you say it's name?

i backed this ;_;

why did they move away from the stylised, thick bordered art style in the original pitch (pic related)

why did they feel the need to over complicate Miriams design with highlights, the silly silver headband with green gems, etc?

why does she have such a stupid pose when standing still with her left arm up by her chin? It's like a martial arts pose except she doesn't do martial arts

why is Miriam just shit shanoa?

>>386051462
Because expensive 3d models are still expensive?

LOL. Try playing the game before criticizing it.

Unnarmed, she's a kung fu girl. She can get Kung Fu shoes to use those same attacks with higher damage.

>why is Miriam just shit shanoa?

They're totally different. Shanoa is older, and emotionless. Miriam is younger, and less serious.

>>386050074
>Only Iga is a legend.

For what? Being the Assistant director of Symphony? Not working on any other game in the series until he Produced (not Directed) Harmony, Aria, Dawn, Portrait, Ecclesia, Lament. Curse of Darkness and fucking Judgment?

He didn't design or program those games, he didn't shape the combat or character design. He just oversaw those games whilst the actual game designers made the game. It's not like Kojima who writes, directs, produces and designs each of his games, IGA has always just been the guy that gives the okay to game builds and offers suggestions.

I love the games, but to say he is the entire reason the games were good is a lie. His team were the real talent, he was just a general overseer. Same as Inafune was with Megaman.

If Bloodstained is good, or even if it sucks, the credit shouldn't go to Igarashi, he's pretty inconsequential to the whole thing.

>>386051794
I'm not going to pretend I know a lot about the costs of developing games but I look at something like ori and the blind forest (sure microsoft probably helped out a lot with that) or hollow knight (admittedly it's not 3d) and I can't help but feel like this is just a case of incompetence. They did get a decent amount of money.

>>386051841
Well her original design was nothing like that. Seriously the highlights dont fit with her design at all.

I called her shit Shanoa but really i'd have happily taken a character like Shanoa, who seemed strong, serious and was obviously really cute but in a kind of forboding, angelic way - not kawaii desu ne ~~~

also minor nitpick but the tattoo being moved from her shoulder to her tit makes it look really cheap - a rose on the tit is something a single mother of 4 who lives in a caravan has. Probably because they felt the need to stick giant tits on her which they didnt originally either

I have played the Demo. The pose is still retarded. And yes she can do martial arts when using one or two weapons - doesn't justify standing in that pose all the time.

Soma could use Rapiers, should he have walked around en garde for the entirety of the game?

Way more colourful and vibrant, thicker outlines, no clash between the background and foreground that disgusting 2.5d gives

It's not like Kojima who writes, directs, produces and designs each of his games, IGA has always just been the guy that gives the okay to game builds and offers suggestions.

He was also co-writer and co-programmer on Symphony and he wrote all the games he was producer for with the exception of Order of Ecclessia. So he made all the characters in those games, he just didn't design them. Though he worked with the character designers (make my wife a character, and turn me into a Belmont). He also was the one putting pitches together to Konami get the games made in the first place.

While he wasn't the director, he did have more input than a simple businessman. But it is true that the producer often acts as the spokesperson who gets all the credit. For Bloodstained, Iga has made appearances with Suhartro Iida ("Curry the kid"), who is the director of the game. He was programmer for most of the handheld games, and did a few designs on the side (he made the Waiter skeleton, who threw curry, hense the nickname). He then was director of HD and is directing Bloodstained. Though the media still ignores him mostly.

>>386052042
They have an art team and or time.

It could be better but I'm honestly not expecting more than what were getting.

I think the biggest problem is that they picked an awful art style for their game. Hard realism never works especially in low budget 3d.

They should have had flat backgrounds and accented it with 3d for stuff that you climb or is important.

It's a bit there fault but them not knowing how to limit themselves for indie games.

>>386042548
Blasphemous

Even that guy who makes the touhouvanias is better at this than these faggots.

Iga did the PSP game in 2008, so he thought he could replicate that. But he didn't know how bad Inti-Creates is at 3D. So bad he had to fire them. It's a real shame. I feel like MN9 and BS could have been great 2D 3DS games that could have gotten console ports if they were successful. They would have looked great, played great, and came out years before they did.

They hired a 2D handheld dev team to make a 3D game in Unreal. Inti were just mismatched.

kickstarter that ended with a good game?
Because if not, you're fucking retards for falling for that again and again and again and again you'll fall for it again too once kojima does it oh my fuck i can't wait to see you cry if he ever does that

Shenmue III I think will be good at the least, great at best. Yu Suzuki is legendary for pulling off amazing things.
There are very talented people working on Shenmue 3 such as Suzuki, Tak Hirai, Kid Nocon, etc. Alot of very capable people involved.

If Sega had re-released Shenmue 1 and 2, it would help alot, which of course means they won't.

>>386039945
>>386042148
Shantae wasn't made by some jew who told publishers to fuck off though.

>>386053391

Sega recently released a lot of unexpected shit on steam, I wouldnt write it off completely

They're just waiting for the release of 3 so that they can build hype with the prequels

>>386033489
Games are pretty expensive to make, you know.

No, discussions have to be in obsoletes. It's either good or it's bad

>>386033489
My biggest nitpicks are that enemies don't stand out from the backgrounds half the time and the environment is too realistic and bland. I'm hoping the lack of music is just due to it being the e3 build because I'll be flacid if there's not some music playing.
game play wise it looks mostly smooth, the down kick looking nice and fast. The soul shard thing is already repetitive so hoping they vary it a bit or have it skippable otherwise when you randomly get a soul it'll kill the momentum of the game hard.

At least people don't complain about the "speed" or "floatyness" anymore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcsxz3awKIQ

>>386054863
It's beneath them to work on it. Unlike Shenmue, Yakuza actually sells so they need to pump more sequels every year or so

>>386054749

Only good threads left on /v/ are hollow knight threads

I think the problem with kickstarter is that as publishers we have no say in the matter but our opinions would be wrong too.

>>386054971
>I can't even enjoy Castlevnia threads anymore

At least you could enjoy them at one point. I love every game in the series barring Curse of Darkness and Legends. Castlevania threads for me are filled with nothing but so called "fans" shit talking games I love

>>386055179
With those animations, it deserves it.

>>386054971
>b-but it's the same speed!
Still feels slower, it doesn't even matter why, but make your games so it doesn't feel slow as shit

3d models were a mistake

I still don't get the hate with bloodstained. Like I can understand being worried about it but it looks like sotn to me so far. I'm not to worried about the graphics either since the game is still months out. As long as level design isn't trash I'll be happy really.

>FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!
So is this even bad for that money? I mean of course thats a load of money, but in terms of game production?

I think the game looks perfectly fine, but I don't know what degree of quality is supposed to be appropriate for that budget.

it looks mostly fine but the character/enemy models seem really out of place on the environment

it'll probably be fine, but it'll be the hot new meme for tortanic shitposters for a month or so before they stop caring

>>386040793

The problem is that no one ignore the "fans" who throw obvious bait. Do not even give them the pleasure because all they want is (You)s

The background's a bit bad, I don't like the pink voice outside the bell tower much. Dark and stormy or some architecture to make it more interesting would be nice.

Other than that it looks fine, minor grumbling from me.

I don't care what that fucker wants. I'm just saying that we're more due for a new Classicvania than a Metroidvania. The last one was what, Adventure Rebirth on fucking WiiWare?
