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.

Aztec: As a social media community manager myself I can’t help but to notice just how badly the post-release social media campaigning has been for this game. Other than multiple tweets right around launch and talks about the switch version getting fixes they... Aug 20, 2019 17:23:59 GMT -6

Aztec: ...would go DAYS without a single tweet when the game was barely a week old. And now other than a tweet here and there responding to people they’ve gone almost radio silent for almost a month! Yes the bad switch version took the wind out of some hype... Aug 20, 2019 17:25:14 GMT -6

Aztec: ...but they still have an excellent game (on pc, PS4 and XB1) on their hands that is allegedly selling very well and instead of riding that momentum they’ve done the contrary. You can hype the game and work on Switch foxes at the same time after all Aug 20, 2019 17:26:25 GMT -6

Aztec: i wish this game didn’t come out when it did. It clearly could’ve used another couple of months in the oven, especially the Switch version Aug 20, 2019 17:27:00 GMT -6
