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.

Galamoth: Do we take that as confirmation that the actual, final-decided release date will be revealed at E3? Apr 17, 2019 20:28:25 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: probably not haha. It's worded weird anyway, not sure what it was he might have actually said Apr 17, 2019 20:34:12 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: I have 4444 wall macs. _curse

Apr 18, 2019 13:26:36 GMT -6

exile: I'd trade them all for just one bowl of mac right now. I really should eat. Apr 18, 2019 17:41:09 GMT -6

Yän: Mike really needs to clean up the code that makes the wall mac leaderboard lol. Every time someone is renamed it creates a new entry but leaves the old one and now we have "Goofballify 4325" on the second spot

Brainiac: purifyweirdshard now occupies THREE of the top spots?! Dude, your greed is mighty indeed. Apr 19, 2019 7:55:56 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: lool. Apr 19, 2019 11:10:14 GMT -6

RichterB: purifyweirdshard, Angel has only just gotten back to the boards, & he replied on a few things, but do you suppose he saw the older comments in between you & others tagged, like the stuff about the Minerva, wood textures, platform layering, push animation? Apr 19, 2019 13:45:14 GMT -6

RichterB: (Or did that stuff get too buried with all the posts since?) Apr 19, 2019 13:45:28 GMT -6

RichterB: I think the threads/pages that have the most info regarding newer feedback from those are these three: Apr 19, 2019 13:53:03 GMT -6 *

RichterB: 1) bloodstained.forums.net/thread/3952/problem-last-trailer-april-2019 (2) bloodstained.forums.net/thread/3955/happened-minervas-map-room (3--from end of p2) bloodstained.forums.net/thread/3949/newest-build-footage-egx-london?page=2 Apr 19, 2019 13:57:59 GMT -6 *

purifyweirdshard: If you want, I would suggest making a new post tagging him with those links to make sure, but they are all things that I believe have been pointed out before in the huge feedback process we went through before. They were quite thorough with it. Apr 19, 2019 17:22:03 GMT -6

purifyweirdshard: Adding another voice to increase the likelihood of something is always a thing, though, if it isn't too late. Apr 19, 2019 17:33:51 GMT -6

Redogan: ummm...did you guys see these gameplay vids for Bloodstained? Because I just stumbled across them: just search on Youtube for "Bloodstained gameplay". Then filter by "This week." The first three results: Apr 19, 2019 21:22:26 GMT -6

Redogan: The game looks amazing with this current build! I love it! I'm posting them here because the videos really don't have that many views on Youtube. Not sure how I missed these, but am glad I found them. Enjoy. Apr 19, 2019 21:24:37 GMT -6

kamuiarikado: This videos are re-uploads originally from Gamespot and Gematsu, in the first one the uploader (Nintendopolis) cut out the Gamespot intro and it is in a poorer quality (The original is in 1080p60) Apr 20, 2019 0:06:26 GMT -6

kamuiarikado: and the second and third ones (Amerime Media) are footage from Gematsu. Apr 20, 2019 0:06:48 GMT -6
