Agree with this completely. The only thing about the above video that worries me is that the guy is actually listening to the haters. Dude, you made SOTN, just do your thing.

Did you watch the whole video?

Yea, it looks like PSP Castlevania.

Doll it up a little for 2019 3d Standards, Zoom out, and boost the frame rate.

He wasn't even the lead fucking director on SOTN, and every game since he was the lead director on was a lesser game that was essentially running off SOTN's fumes.

The dude's overhyped as shit. This game looks and animates like smouldering butt and you're a fanboy or in denial if you can't see that.

The bigger problem, though, is, looking at this, I can't think of a single reason I'd want to play this over just playing Super Metroid or SOTN again.

Do you get it, assholes? You have to actually take games forward. You can't just keep making "another one." How about something that's actually fresh? I see NOTHING in this one so far that wasn't already done better in SOTN. Lame.

Still waiting on your 120 hz port of Metal Slug CliffyB.

The only painful aspect of that video for me was watching that scrub playing; the needless hits he was taking in that boss fight made it hard to watch. Looks fun otherwise, and I'm sure I will enjoy the game

Hiroyuki Maruyama wasn't lead director on G-Darius and created Border Down with four others from Taito. According to him, being part of the G-Darius team was a crucial experience for Border Down and his company G.rev. You don't have to be up there, on top of the command chain, in order to create games that will live up to their source of inspiration. The rest is opinion.

Because it’s super fun and looks great at 3840x2160 at 60hz on my pc. I have the latest E3 demo and what they’ve presented is awesome, especially once you finish the prologue and get into the castle.

There are sooo many different classes of weapons, including guns and straight up martial arts. The crystal system isnt groundbreaking, but you can learn attacks from your enemies like Mega Man.

I’ve played it. It’s well-executed and gorgeous. I even stare at the save rooms.

Edited for typos.

@Bulbousbeard: Yeah, but if it had some "iconic camels" in it, you'd be all over it.

Because there's always someone here who has to pick every single detail apart, be super negative, and rain on everyone parade.

I think the game looks great. I'll wait to bitch after I actually try it, if it sucks.

Aladdin on the Genesis has better art than this game. How embarrassing for them.

HornheaDD · Jun 18, 2019

So it comes out on switch on the 25th.

neojedi · Jun 18, 2019

Day 2 already for the PS4. The game definitely delivers the 2D goods but I need to get further in before saying more.

bulbousbeard · Jun 18, 2019

Animation blows, and because the people who made it are retarded, the game actually requires an analog stick for some stupid door opening mechanic that isn't even fun anyway.

Hard pass if you have a brain. You're better off just replaying SOTN.

Psygnosis8 · Jun 19, 2019

I’m satisfied. They’ve added more backstory since the demos, and there were no bookcases to read before. The game really picks up when you get into the castle, so I advise everyone to spend an hour in that area before judging the game.

I’ve really been looking forward to this and I’m glad it’s here!

I couldn't even play the piece of shit because it requires a gamepad with an analog stick. So stupid.

Get a job so you can buy one.
Or ask your mom for some allowance in advance.

Something different to replaying SOTN for the 16th time, worth a spin

I mean... All modern consoles have controllers with an analog stick so you prob have one already.

What, are you playing it on a Windows 98 box with a Microsoft sidewinder pad or something?

Still waiting for your 120hz 60 fps Metal Slug port for the PC Warren Spector. Instead of complaining about it, why not create your game from scratch that blows this away?

Neo Alec · Jun 19, 2019

I'm a ways into the castle. I want to like this game but I'm kinda "meh" on it so far. The game gets bogged down into too many RPG-ish elements: An overabundance of equipment, spells, and even cooking. And the story (played out with voices and text) is wordy and very stupid so far.

On the Xbox One X the controls are laggy (as they probably are in all versions) and I've noticed some frame skips in the busier areas, like the stormy weather on the ship in the intro.

Hoping the experience gets a little better.

I'm curious: Since bulbousbeard is, somewhat, local, have you ever had to deal with him in person? Couldn't imagine being around someone so negative.
