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.

Redogan: ^^ Game looks pretty solid....for a mobile game. Maybe it will do well. Aug 2, 2020 19:02:52 GMT -6

Ryngar Acia: ...or they've just been in a stupidity-induced coma for the past several years. Maybe they'll wake up someday? ;; Aug 24, 2020 14:50:21 GMT -6

Yän: They already lost many of their best people. Even if they made some decent choices again, they'd never get back to their glory days Aug 24, 2020 18:18:09 GMT -6

Ryngar Acia: It still seems like they a have fair amount of talented people, though. I dunno about returning the "glory days" but they could still be doing so much better, if the higher-ups would just pull their heads out of their butts. Aug 25, 2020 6:05:40 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: I think they'll do something decent again, eventually. The new mobile game might not be that thing, but the anniversary collection was a step in a good direction Aug 25, 2020 16:20:00 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: lol yeah I saw those ancient PC ports. I imagine they have little to no configuration for them and probably don't work with most controllers. It's also pretty weird to release CV/Contra like that when their anniversary collections exist Sept 25, 2020 14:45:44 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: The novelty for that PC collection to begin with was to have it on a PC CD, and all of these were waaaay before the era of Steam, so...yeah it just still seems like Konami trying to make easy money again Sept 25, 2020 14:46:34 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: hahaha MSX MG1 requires a 1.8 ghz processor and 2 gb of ram huh. Somebody out there has to upgrade to meet these 1990 specs Sept 25, 2020 14:50:28 GMT -6

Busterific: As I recall, the PC ports for those were pretty bad. Makes me happy I have a working NES again. Sept 26, 2020 13:48:43 GMT -6

hyugakojiro: Maybe Konami ought to create a Patreon account to speed things along with those ports and classic collections we're waiting for. Sept 26, 2020 18:18:10 GMT -6
