16 Minutes of new Bloodstained Gameplay (Demo SPOILERS)

I wonder how many that really read my comment about the animation being under development. If you guys save this and write it once later on, I am sure they will nod their heads and say "we know, we are working on it".

If you guys have anything else to share, please do so.

I watched the Vepar fight and I have to say that, design-wise, I prefer the new look even more now that I've seen it in motion. I have to say, though, that the boss fight itself got a bit worse, it makes no sense to be able to hit the boss in the background and the tentacle attack is very weird to read :/ I can't wait to see how the fights plays pad in hand later this week.

Are you one of the developers of this game?

I completely agree that still images work better than poorly animated  ones. Otherwise though, I think the game looks great and I feel the voice actors did a commendable job (especially Ray Chase/Gebel). He came across as intelligent and thoughtful yet twisted and perfectly in character.  It's neat to see the various improvements made since the last demo.

One minor thing I would really like to see fixed:

Miriam appears to have push-box type puzzles that allow her to reach higher areas. However, there is literally NO animation aside from her running against a box. Adding a push animation should have been a no-brainer; even as far back as Zelda A Link to the Past (SNES) or Resident Evil 1 (PS1) there were animations when your character would push or pull something. Like I said, it's minor but the game would look amateur without this basic feature implemented.

Rixuel No, you're definitely not alone in that feeling.

I guess we'll see whether it's final when we get the chance to provide feedback in the Beta.

"I'll wipe the deck with them!" is one of my favorite lines so far. With the right GIF, it has pretty good meme potential.

Notice how they also changed her idle posture in the menu screen: no she has her hand against her hip, in a daring, aloof manner, instead of ... I dunno, the previous one looked like something an japanese idol "singer" would do.


I personally found the mechanics more interesting, but ... yeah, that's my one complaint. You're able to hit the boss in the background, even though it can only hit you with the water stream. Makes no sense. If she's in the background, you shouldn't be able to hit her, and she shouldn't be able to hit you; if she's in the foreground, you should be able to hit her, and she should be able to hit you.


Agreed... but, personally, while I loved the save room, it felt odd to wander into what looks like part of the castle in galleon, of all places.  I mean, supposedly you haven't even gotten to the castle yet, and there it is. Personally, I think places outside the castle should have their own save room.

I thought the same thing regarding the save points. I figured they could keep the big red couch as an indicator that you're at a save point and make the rest fit in a little better with the area you happen to be in.

Speaking of the save rooms Miriam should have a few different animations of relaxing on the couch, including one where she's sprawled out and sleeping for a "save and quit game" option.
