It is pretty obvious that at least the Switch port is already finished, due to the significant difference in funding between that and the PC/PS4 ports.

Didn't know the bit about the KS names on the credits, that makes it more obvious.

Apart from Shem, I've yet to see EG secure more Asian games. If Platinum decides to make it EGS exclusive, they'll lose me as a customer, though I highly doubt they will make a deal with EG. 

I don't think that will happen either, just wanted to point out the differences between actually buying something and kickstarting it, consumer rights wise.

If you buy/pre-order something for steam/ps4 and the game ends up not there, most companies will just refund since pretty much every consumer law in the planet will protect you. The same doesn't apply to when you kickstart.

Who knows what else could happen in this situation. You will either NOT be considered a consumer at all, just a supporter who gave money willingly, or if you take this to court and prove you were actually buying it through there, you hurt the whole kickstart scene so needed by indie devs.

I totally think Platinum dropped the ball here. Even if they are not abusive of this in any manner, it opens a door that shouldn't exist.

Oh for sure, point away. I just feel that EG isn't really all that bothered with Japanese titles, primarily because of their weird and shitty stance on "lewd" not being allowed, but they're totally okay for violence and gore. They've seemingly ignored Asian deals over EU/some Western ones, which strikes as odd, because you'd think they'd want to make deals with Asia, but apparently just China with Tencent. 

At this point in the games industry, I just think that Investors/bigger companies have now become the new, core "customer", with us being sideline cash whales. I mean, just look at the shitty deals and cut content that's been happening over the past 10 yrs, the studios shut down because some fat cat investors were not so happy that they didn't make a few extra million, it's utterly appalling to see how well treated and respected investors are these days over general customers. 

My one hope, is that Platinum doesn't start making deals with EG, because if that happens, their general respect goes right out the window for me, along with Blizz, Acti, Ubisoft, Konami, bethesda etc. 

Why are we comparing a simple port of an HD game released a few years ago to come out on modern devices to a game many years old, not HD, and promised to have significant graphical improvements? 

Unbalanced comparison and unnecessary so i'm sorry for that,but the last part of my comment still stands as there is always a risk in putting down money for a kickstarter or preorder but it's up to the consumer to decide in who to blindly trust and i'm aware that Platinum games deserves some credit for previous titles .

The initial goal was modest to begin with, but I'm surprised at how well the Kickstarter went. Good for them.

Congrats to PlatinumGames for reaching another stetch goal!

Hmmmm... if all that's really new is the 2D missions, I think I'll probably pass on this. Amazing game, but I've already played the hell out of it.

Really would have loved to see Nintendo go ahead and back this reboot, alongside a W102... I will probably double dip to get this again - did so with Bayo already.
