Sounds needs to be "better" Oct 30, 2018 16:13:52 GMT -6

Currently in E3 2018 Demo, the sound-effects are all in stereo. Thats totally fine. But I noticed when running around, most noticebly in Garden of Silence that enemies sounds like they are by your side, when in "reality" they are levels below or above you. Its a bit confusing.

Is there any mention if the sound will use old stereo only, or 7.1 and/or a simulated surround effect so we can actually hear the enemies around corners, above and below us instead of having sounds on top of each other?

And, I also wonder, if there will be changes. Can we get a Sound setting that allows us to have a Classic Igavania SFX toggle on/off?

Having it on, enemies sound will be idle / silent, until you actually have them ON screen.

I know Unreal works differently and not frame by frame, but it would really make the experience a bit more surprising + giving, if there is a random feature / factor in place, a way for the player to encounter enemies not expeting at all during runs. It WILL add to the experience.

For now, I really want the sound effects fixed, and I need some kind of confirmation either way if there are plans or not to fix this "issue".

	I consider Igavania and Metroidvania the same genre, but i call" IGAVANIA" if the game was created, directed or with some involvement of Koji Igarashi OR the game closely follows his path on "Metroidvania Gothic game" style.

Although I agree the sound need some adjustments, there is nothing wrong with using stereo-only. Including 7.1 audio will just complicate things for the team. Listen to this (headphones required):

I'm not suggesting the usage of binaural audio for everything, that's just plain impossible. The point is, stereo audio is not the limiting factor, it never was and it will never be. What Bloodstained needs is better sound design and attention to details, the latter which other aspects of the game are in need as well.

Time 4 Tea: Me too! There will be a Bloodstained 2 before any of us catch up with Purify (does he have more than one profile?) May 13, 2021 15:09:49 GMT -6

Dominique: Did Mr. Welldone ever find his book? If they make Bloodstained 2, I want Dom to redeem herself like Ghaleon did in Lunar 2. My girl can't go out like that. Too tragic and I just don't like it. May 14, 2021 21:24:57 GMT -6

EbonAnimus: q2 nearly done and again nothing on dlc, no pc version shipped, but no one says anything and all are sooooo happy about it... really suck, these dorky dlc´s we got could be done in a few days by a single japanese worker, but sadly no one´s doing anything.. May 29, 2021 12:55:05 GMT -6
