THIS THREAD HAS POTENTIAL SPOILERS FROM THE NEW DEMO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Dangamer confirmed at the shoutbox that the June update will probably be posted tomorrow (07/07). And that, after it, a new update will be posted talking about the E3 material.  Alongside that, a fresh new article from gameInformer (read it HERE ) with several new information about what we are most probably be seeing on E3. For those who don't want to read it. It can be summarized as: NEW WEAPONS
Swords, kicking shoes and a whip. It seems Miriam starts the game (or at least, the Demo) with a whip. NEW SHARDS AND ENEMIES
shoot bones and flames. New enemies like Massive Knights. NEW BOSS
A demonic vixen who uses blood magic to cast projectiles at you. Considering all that, what are your expectations from the new demo and what do you think of that potential new content?
This thread was created just as a funny, one or two day discussion before June update. There is a thread talking about the Game Informer Article. If people think those two are redudant, i can delete one or both.
That's all folks! |

Well sounds like we see the intro of the castle in the demo...maybe even the village prior to it? I think it's smart. Seeing the layout and design of the castle is very important and being able to see more of it's mechanics is a good idea for it's second demo. A more challenging boss is a plus too.

Ooooh man I'm excited to see what the team has for E3 this year! Last year we got a demo that made me sure I was getting the game I really wanted, and apparently they're "embarrassed" about the demo now so I'm hype. Attachments:

One of the things I've been looking forward to the most since 2015 was using the whip.
I can't wait!!!!!
Also if any of you guys want that awesome Bloodstained BitSummit shirt you will be able to buy it soon acording to Dan from Fangamer.

Same here, usually the problem with the large ones is that they are way too baggy on the bottom and tight on the chest. Can always send it to a tailor to sew some of the bottom part tho. |

The new demo sounds cool and I like everything I'm hearing about it, but will we still be able to play the old demo once the new one comes out?

I gotta ask, when is E3? Friday, right? So will Bloodstained be there all Friday, or will there be a specific time (PST, I assume) it'll get showed off?  |

Each one has it's own thing and preference for what they wanna see in Bloodstained, i think. For me, what interests me more about this new Demo, are the new powers, AKA, Shards. Of course, i want to see the scenario, what they improved, the weapons, the enemies and such. But, at all Igavanias, the thing that i always wanted to see more was the game's powers. I always had a thing for magic overall. Can't wait! I'm dying to know how Castle Entrance finished up looking. The castle walls and pillars, killing enemies while listening to this (that is almost confirmed to be Castle Entrance music): Luxurious Overture |

I don't expect the demo to come to consoles, but I really hope those of us that are set to get a console version still get the PC version of the demo. Just because I backed a console version doesn't mean I can't run it on PC, would still love to try the PC demo

I hope they focus more on the whip, i know alot of people voted for the sword but the whip is what made castlevania, also you have alot more gameplay mechanics with a whip, like slinging over gaps etc, a sword is just a sword.
So i hope the demo focus on that particulair weapon this time.
Also starting in a burning village would be cool.

About the whip, i really like the motion animation they did for the whip, when they showed that update about the weapon types. It is very good that they decided to use a motion that is different from what Castlevania used in all of it's games. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night may be a spiritual sucessor of Castlevania, but it needs to be it's own game and walk with it's own legs. Doing something different is a good idea. |

So i hope the demo focus on that particulair weapon this time. Also starting in a burning village would be cool. Having equal end-tier weapons like sword, whip, shoes etc. would be the best, in that way everyone could go through the game and meet the endboss with whatever they feel are the most fun weapon to use. In the real world however, the developers might have issues with the balancing. There are in most games always one good range and one good or even better close-range weapon, and it is very rare to find a few items that are equal as a high-end-tier weapons. About swinging with a whip, I am all for it. I do however see this feature being brought back with the shard-system, and not weapon system. While Castlevania had your heroes dual only with a whip, this was less of an hassle. With a similar feature but with the latest version of magic / subweapon-usage in Bloodstained, I hope to see different ways to cross over obsticles within the game by giving us options. For example, swing over with energy or dash in a straight line towards the area. Perhaps even use some type of teleportation in mid-air? If enemies however only are weak towards, let say.. a whip, then the battle and that room will be exlusive to whip-usage up until the defeat of that enemy (or boss). After that, there shouldn't be a thing that locks you into using the whip. Also worth mentioning. There is a swordwhip, which makes both sides happy. Now, if only we can find a macehammeraxe, dynamiteshurikens and gununchakus in the game so the rest of the gang is happy, it would be a blast!  |

A bit OT, but regarding to the high tier weapons, I hope that every "final" weapon of various categories is worth using. I do not necessarily mean that I want them all to be equal, but about on par in terms of usefulness. A knife with special abilities for ultra-quick and special attacks, for example, things like that. Maybe playing with elements and don't make it so that holy attribute>>>>>everything else.
In regards of the update, I would surely like a bit of new content to quench the thirst and the long wait. Can't honestly wait for the demo.

The new demo sounds cool and I like everything I'm hearing about it, but will we still be able to play the old demo once the new one comes out? I dont see why not, it'd be kinda weird if the new demo actually replaced the filed from the old one. I hope not, as silly as it sounds I wanna keep the demo from last E3 as well, not only as a fun way to see how far the game came as it was made, but just because I want all these milestones for posterity. Even long after I've beaten Bloodstained to death I could still see myself booting up the Minerva Demo and reminiscing about how excited we all were when we got it and how it allayed fears in a post-MN9 world XD. One thing I touched on a long time ago was that I hope the "Extras" tab that has the sound test and whatnot would have some things from the kickstarter. That way the game itself could show off things like IGA's initial KS pitch video, the start and end streams with Kinda Funny/Games are Awesome and the "Ask IGA's" preserved in the event the KS page goes down someday. I mean we always have the YT channel for those too, I just think it'd be fun if the game itself had those. |
