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.

LeoLeWolferoux: Sooo... I guess some dude on Twitter stumbled across a financial document from 505 games indicating that a '2nd version' of Bloodstained was in the works??? back sometime in like 2021??? Apr 15, 2023 21:00:49 GMT -6

LeoLeWolferoux: How am I just now finding out about this/ C'mon, IGN. Get it together. Apr 15, 2023 21:01:12 GMT -6

LeoLeWolferoux: >:/ Apr 15, 2023 21:01:15 GMT -6

LeoLeWolferoux: Dunno how this Twitter user came across these documents, tho, assuming since they don't know any further details, it wasn't someone *from* 505 Games. I certainly hope it was obtained via legal means... Apr 15, 2023 21:02:13 GMT -6

XombieMike: Shortly after 505 let that document go public the official Bloodstained twitter confirmed there will be a second game. ArtPlay is finishing Bloodstained DLC and then we will learn more about the next game. Apr 17, 2023 5:50:56 GMT -6

Redogan: Any ideas on when we get the rest of the updates? I'm still waiting on my physical copy with everything on it for my CV collection. Aug 23, 2023 12:48:28 GMT -6

Redogan: Nice to see a project update! I like the new Classic 2.0 mode with Dominique. Looks like it plays like a traditional CV game--which is a good thing. Glad to see some gameplay video of Chaos and VS modes, too! Sept 6, 2023 18:16:32 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: Did they say when they were releasing the update with Dominique? I don't recall seeing anything in the video, so I'm assuming not Sept 7, 2023 16:40:01 GMT -6

Redogan: I didn't see anything about the release date. I just know that it is paid DLC. (So, us backers don't get it for free. Which is fine.) Sept 8, 2023 16:54:52 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: Yeah. At this point, with the game being as old as it is, I'd be fine paying for the content. Sept 12, 2023 19:00:02 GMT -6

XombieMike: Classic mode 2 will be canon! Sept 15, 2023 19:55:00 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: That's pretty sweet! Sept 17, 2023 22:04:34 GMT -6

Ciel: Been a long time since I last logged here, but it seems that until we get any news of a sequel, there won't be much to discuss. Oh well! Sept 25, 2023 14:32:30 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: The discord is certainly where the activity is, but we'll keep this forum up and running as long as we can. Bloodstained's subreddit also still moves along pretty well Oct 3, 2023 15:31:05 GMT -6
