Old news my guy.

I like the "You got a Uzi", but its not grabbin me though. I think its the main character.

That was the question. Thank you. I wasn't sure if tribute or incidental or not. Never heard of the game until this thread.

I was intrigued when I heard some former Rare devs were making a new game, but to be honest, it looks kinda meh.
Environments are really bland and the enemies look generic, and the two don't mesh together aesthetically. Overall it just has an uninspired and low budget feel. Not really doing it for me.

I've been let down by these kinds of retro revivals before (Mighty No. 9, Yooka Laylee, Bloodstained, although Wargroove was really good) so I'm not going to get too hyped.

Don't think that funding was the issue. Bloodstained was fine on a technical level. Yooka was mostly ok too. The issue was more that they didn't really add a ton to their respective formulas. 

If other people want that, fine. For me though, that's not what I'm looking for. If they're basically the same but worse than the games that inspired them, I'd rather just play the originals. 

Bloodstained is not as good as symphony of the night. It's a decent game, but not on the same level.

You didn't really make any argument aside from just stating your opinion... so I stated mine, which isn't exactly a hot take. Not sure why you seem annoyed by that.

Eh... Well I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
