Forums - Gaming Discussion - New Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Trailer looks great

Tagged games:

Miss the sprite graphics of old but still looks good. It's been a good decade or so since Order of Ecclesia (not counting the online multiplayer one on Ps3/360).

Looking forward most to the music.

Also, Curse of the Moon is free this month for Gold members on Xbox.

It still looks like a really ugly game, honestly.

The original trailer looked better than what we're currently seeing tbh.

 

I'm amazed it's still in development. I thought a game of it's caliber, from a vet no less, would have been done by now. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

It hits the right notes for me so i hope this turns out well

Do you mean this?



That was concept art.

So, it's basically like Might No. 9. At least from an aesthetic standpoint.

That's a bit of stretch.

But while we're on the subject of the concept art, maybe for the sequel they can make it look like a Blazblue game. I'd imagine with the funding and pre-sales alone (including yours truly) this game is already a success.

The first gameplay trailer looked like this:

And then there was this one:

And then here's today's look for comparison:

I think it looks significantly better now.

I'd have to disagree. I think the original looked better, especially the concept shot. The current one just feels and looks like another run of the mill CV clone.

Ok, it's not really a stretch. The same exact thing happened with mighty no. 9. It was pretty clear it was concept art, but the concept art was still vastly superior to the actual 3D graphics that were used. Not saying the game won't be good but it's almost the exact same situation honestly. 

That's what I imagine they might do. Use the sales of this to support 2D art for the next game. Then again maybe not, maybe they'd rather go for consistency.

It is a stretch because Bloodstained doesn't make literal shit look like high art.

I'm talking about the transition from concept art to actual graphics, not the games quality. 

Besides, Bloodstained could always be Shitstained  



So far I'm very pleased with how it's turning out. I backed both Yooka-Laylee and Bloodstained. Got massively burned on Yooka-Laylee, don't even have the game, never will be able to get it without paying, and I'm not super impressed with how it turned out so I've no intention to pay for it. Bloodstained on the other hand has been very professional throughout production, clearly communicated with backers, kept us engaged, and the product is looking great. I'm really looking forward to this one and glad I backed it. They're coming through on every promise so far, save for the Vita and Linux versions (and the switch from Wii U to Switch I guess, but I don't count that), and the Vita version isn't their fault. Most importantly, Curse of the Moon was great, and the actual game looks fantastic and everything I was hoping it would be.

Well concept art is just art. But the trailers? o.o

I don't have to specify which of these are old and which are new, because it's obvious, but I'll do it anyway.

You can do it anyway, but what you like isn't exactly what I'm likely to like either. I could try using different examples, but that would take the thread off-track.

You've also taken different shots from different videos that show off different areas, save for 1-3 shots.

Someone saying it looks ugly is just their opinion though at the end of the day, me not liking the current style all that much is my own say as well, but saying "objectively" is hard, considering that the artwork itself is, well, subjective, unless you want to tell me that the Mona Lisa> virtually every piece of artwork known to man, and then you'll have the biggest argument of the century on your hands.
