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.

XombieMike: 3rd playable character is getting closer! Who could it be? Whoever it is, they have a friend with them. Mar 16, 2022 13:17:36 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: Banjo-Kazooie!? Mar 16, 2022 14:24:47 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: I wouldn't want them in it (I have no love for them, whatsoever), they were just the first 'have a friend' with them character I thought of. Probably because of Smash Ultimate. Mar 16, 2022 14:26:59 GMT -6

Ryngar Acia: I unironically hope they're Asha and Pepelogoo.

Enkeria: Would hope for O.D. for the 3rd playable character. But would be fine as the main character in the sequel too.

XombieMike: It's confirmed to be a cross over character, so not OD Mar 21, 2022 7:16:23 GMT -6

Redogan: Sheesh. Old habits die hard. I jumped on here to read up about the 3rd playable character and instinctively looked around and clicked on a wall mac. _mac

XombieMike: Gotta find all the secrets! Mar 30, 2022 17:36:34 GMT -6

XombieMike: There are a few secrets here Mar 30, 2022 17:37:05 GMT -6

Time 4 Tea: I really like this forum... I just wish it was a bit more active. Perhaps we need a Ritual of the Night 2 to liven things up? Jun 7, 2022 18:04:30 GMT -6

XombieMike: Thanks. I think this place still serves a good purpose for keeping organized linkable info. Most discussions happen on Discord these days. Jun 16, 2022 8:32:09 GMT -6

Enkeria: Ritual of the Night 2 is a thing that will happen. Yes. Jun 22, 2022 17:19:11 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: This is still the primary place I look at for info/updates. Occasionally, I lurk. The discord has too many discussions for me and seems super tight knit, so I typically just leave it muted since I won't check it enough to really break in. Aug 23, 2022 12:58:34 GMT -6

ShroudedTraveler: And by that I mean, there seem to be regulars and most people are aware of each other, so the conversations move too quickly for me to reasonably keep up with how rarely I check in Aug 23, 2022 13:18:00 GMT -6

XombieMike: The announcements channel is good on Discord. We will post updates here too, though. Aug 29, 2022 14:34:02 GMT -6

XombieMike: The recent Journey update has been neglected here. Aug 29, 2022 14:34:41 GMT -6

ingway: even if they were to tell me when this would finally ship ... i doubt i would believe it. a miserable little pile of secrets indeed. Dec 10, 2022 3:35:09 GMT -6

XombieMike: IGA's army ill needs such a savior as you. It will ship when it's finished. There is still DLC to complete Jan 4, 2023 22:38:44 GMT -6
