"Hello—IGA here. We're sorry to have kept you waiting, but this month we'll be sharing information about the E3 Beta Backer Demo. This beta will be given to backers at $60 tiers and higher through Steam keys."
What's this, now, again...? Weren't GOG backers at 60 + tiers, supposed to get this stuff, too? Someone care to elaborate... Please?

That's just the platform they've found easiest to distribute threw it's not that they want to keep everyone locked out but they can't (for money and time reasons) make a demo for all versions. Personally I would have preferred all demo's go through PS4 but hey that's me.

Kind of disappointed about the exclusive dlc question. I think the only people who should have a say in what happens with the exclusive backer dlc are the backers!!!! This question should be sent back out to only the backers. I vote for it to be exclusive to only backers.

That's another bummer for me. It being on steam was the reason I didn't play the first demo either...

This demo or whatever it is called, is for 60 + tiers as already mentioned, the one called before "Alpha", or "early beta", now "Demo No2". GOG people were meant to have that! Or else, Fangamer should AGAIN clarify and correct that, from survey description! Or whatever else is appropriate!

Also, "items with special effects" "meet Dominique" I'm interested in this Easy there... she's a nun! Married to god and all.... goes back to writing my Dominique, Bloodless, and Miram love triangle fan fic.

Thank you, Angel, for sharing the results. I agree with the fanbase on most stuff so that's good to know!
The breakable-walls-shard-effekt looks pretty cool! I think there should be more of an effect when you actually break the wall though. Right now it just kind of pops away into nothingness.
Beta-Demo news sound quite exciting!

I thought the hidden wall thing was a bit extreme. I don't know what the shards are but getting something that makes them so apparent seems kind of broken. As did the other clip of the attack which looked overpowered but that may just be because it was a weak enemy. The animation was also kinda weird with Miriam just holding her arm straight out. They did mention that they're still working on visual effects though.
I have nothing against the concepts of either though. Just a lot of concern with how early along these features are.

Angel-CorluxAny word on if the new backer demo will be for GOG as well as Steam, also a reasureance that Ritual itself is still confirmed for GOG? Also will we still have access to/able to download our demo's after the games release?

I sadly didn’t know about the survey and I backed the Kickstarter, $300 tier plus add ons. I think the survey should of been exclusive to backers.
Also I’m mixed at the outfit selection. Glad that the Provocative Succubus outfit got third place, it’s always good to have a sexy outfit, and I’m glad the Elegant Vampire one got first, representing where it started all Castlevania!
My problem is with the Armored Valkyrie reaching second. That one absolutely doesn’t make any sense with the context of the game. The angel one fits in with the context of the game and story, actually making sense. Finally Demon and Full Curse feel like they should be part of the game because of alternative or what if story reasons.

crimsonx4I don't think it necessarily has to make sense to be there, and valkyries are warrior maidens and Miriam could fit into that category nicely, personally we already have Bloodless so I don't feel like we need another vampire so I didn't vote for that at all, I'm just glad that something like all silver or gold did'nt win.

I thought it's been known since near the beginning that the demo/beta would be through Steam. Probably, the exact same "miscommunication" with Curse of the Moon case, or something. In Fangamer's survey, GOG also says "beta access"... So, where is GOG's beta access to backers of 60 + tiers?

Interesting information, probably one of the few times I was interesting in pie graphs. I agree with most of it, it's a bit surprising that the number of people that picked Xbox was so low. Putting that aside, I wish I could have filled that out, but finals come first.
Even the Great Marquis of Hell is powerless against finals
The shards are cool. I imagine the first one, the one that detects hidden things, is pretty hard to get. No way is that just going to be laying on the floor. The matrix-ish effect looks pretty cool as well.
The other shard reminds be of the Black Hole spell from Overlord (Maruyama). It's pretty short range from the look of it.
The 21st then. A week after E3 ends.

Is the demo on Steam Microsoft Windows only? Which areas will be playable in the demo? Not for Windows generally, only for Steam environment. What a bummer... Also: "It will allow you to play the first part of the game's story mode, as it exists now, starting from the ship stage from our past E3 demo and proceeding through the village and into the castle entrance. This time, we've included cutscene events—you'll finally be able to meet Johannes, Zangetsu, Gebel, Dominique, and Anne. Oh, let's not forget about Gremory as well... At this moment we're still making final decisions about what you'll see in the beta. Many enemies and shards will be shown for the first time, along with some enemies you've seen before. You'll be able to visit the shop that Dominique runs, and experience a bit of alchemy with Johannes. You'll also be able to undertake a quest. We hope you'll enjoy and experience the world of Bloodstained when the E3 Beta Backer Demo is available on June 21. Please look forward to it!"

Personally, I was against digital exclusive content from the beginning. There's no real value in it anyway, and all it will do is give people an unnecessary opening for criticism, as it's a practice that tends to be frowned upon by the gaming community. Its existence has the potential to harm critical opinion and sales, and, much like the bonus merchants in Baldur's Gate 2, people who really want it will just pirate it anyway(on PC at least). Better to give future players a way to gain access to it IMO. IIRC, I voted for attaching it to a deluxe edition.

@ikai Yes, the campaign says that GOG and Steam backers will get access to the beta. That's not the same thing as saying that the beta will be on Steam and GOG. It was just specified in the FAQ to distinguish between PC and console backers.
