Valefor looks like absolute trash. The CotM version looks absolutely superior in every way. The colors and textures are hideous. The "floating hands" style fit the boss way better than the "sleeves" or "arms" they added. The coins look horrible the way they clip all over. And the background doesn't even seem to fit the theme in any way like it did in CotM. I hope that it's just a different mode or something. On a related note, anyone else notice how the body is made up of coins that look suspiciously like the Smash Brothers symbol?  If anyone has a clip of the Valefor model from the trailer to compare I would appreciate. Edit: estebant thanks for the pic

Oh wow. Yeah, aside from the circles, that's weirdly spot-on.

With the new trailer being released on a Nintendo Direct I'm assuming what's being shown is the Switch version? how different will each version look? does this mean the official marketing campaign is starting so we should expect news for the game to come at a faster pace?

Maybe the two circles represent Miriam and Zangetsu for Smash?

Valefor doesn't look very good.... The CotM version looks absolutely superior in every way. The colors and textures are hideous. The "floating hands" style fit the boss way better than the "sleeves" or "arms" they added. The coins look horrible the way they clip all over. And the background doesn't even seem to fit the theme in any way like it did in CotM. I hope that it's just a different mode or something. OMG THIS! that was the only thing i legit did not like about that trailer. Valefor's design in Curse is absolutely amazing and i loved it although the fight is pathetically easy. Now in Ritual of the Night his Design he looks SO BAD specially for those colors. I can no longer call him Black hat. Also, im certain that background is Garden of Silence and personally i don't think this bad guy fits in there in any way but i could be mistaken! #JusticeForValefor #BlackisElegant #themsmashcoins
PS. thanks Mr. hyugakojiro

His hope: Restored. His smile and optimism: Returned.
At last a release window! And pretty soon to boot! The game's visuals have really picked up from the demo in nearly every way. The colors are vibrant with good contrast. I also loved the array of weapons abilities on display, like the flaming metal boots that turn Miriam into DMC5 Dante with Balrog, and including the speed boost power to finally shut up people complaining that Miriam isnt faster. Also, the customization features are deeper than I expected with features down to changing her hair and skin color, i figured it would mostly be costume pieces and accessories.
All in all I'm thrilled!

This is a wonderful update! I'm overall very impressed with this trailer and am very much looking forward to its release.

they complain about the trailer being released first in the Nintendo Direct, a complete non-issue So, the game got announced first for a platform that wasn't even in the original Kickstarter, after having four other original platforms cancelled, and you don't see why some backers might have a teensy-weensy problem with that?
The game was already announced for the Switch a long time ago and the trailer came out in other news outlets almost instantly after the Nintendo Direct ended, so yes, I fail to see why backers have a problem with that.

I'm even happier that I dropped $500 for a copy back then.
This just increases my already-great faith in the project.

On a related note, anyone else notice how the body is made up of coins that look suspiciously like the Smash Brothers symbol? Check the demos all the way back to the first; the coins have always had that look to them. I noticed it back in the day and found it amusing; winding up showing it off on the Switch (with an obvious Xbox controller input on-screen, no less) was even more so.

So you fail to give the backers a proper release date once again and just give them a vague release windows of "Summer 2019". And on top of that the trailer was released on a Nintendo Direct instead of the backers getting it first. Way to go 505 Games / ArtPlay, your incompetence knows no bounds and it's clear that your priorities don't lie with the backers.
Now let's talk about the graphics. They look subpar, to say the least. I just did a side by side comparison of this trailer with the 2016 demo footage and that still looks far better. So what I can take from this is that the final product will look worse than it's first ever demo. Whatever happened to that promise of making the game look better after the 2018 demo fiasco?
This game used to be a day one purchase for me, but ever since the delay and the platform cancellations I lost a lot of respect for the devs / publishers and lost almost all interest in the game. I might pick it up in the future when it's heavily discounted on Steam and something tells me that this might happen sooner than later.
But like a wise japanese philosopher would say: "It's better than nothing™".

The comments for the copy of the Release Window Trailer over on PlayStation's channel had this:
Gamer: Hi mister! You were long from this world! Iga: It was not by Konami hand that I'm once again given flesh. I was called here by kickstarters who wish to pay me tribute. Gamer: Tribute? You produce games, and make gamers your fans! Iga: Alas, the same couldn't be said of all producers. Gamer: Your words are as plenty as your soul! Gamerkind needs a creator such as you! Iga: What is a game? A measurable little pile of pixels. But enough talk... Let's play it!

Don't have a lot of time since I have to go to work, but this is a lot better looking than what we had seen in the previous demos. The background art is a better match for the characters than before, which has consistently been my primary point of criticism in past builds. Most of all, it looks like a Castlevania game now.
The summer release window is a surprise, as I was expecting a fall release at earliest. Definitely looking forward to finally having this in my hands.

I kept thinking they'd say *something* after the ESRB rating went through. Kept checking back for the last three days. This is pretty damned exciting!

Will be very much looking forward to the summer for sure  Shows how much power the announcement of Bloodstained's release date window can do to someone. I felt much relieved that once a thing that has been virtually unknown for a handful of years is now finally known. I want to play Bloodstained!

I think it was a good idea to have this announcement as a surprise in a Nintendo direct. Many people watched it and didn`t expect it. I think it produces even more hype when it is released this way. Anyway, in the same time the official Kickstarter update was made, as well as official posts on social media. I really have no many complaints about the trailer, I think it looks very good. I would prefer a 2D game, but for the 3D game as it was supposed to be, I like it. I can see improvements. Sometimes these 3D animations look a bit weird, but I don`t mind if the gameplay is good as it was in previous Igavanias. I will just point to things I didn`t like. Valefor looks bad, I don`t like it at all, nor his model, the colors, the background, the green "floor". I think that CotM version is highly superior in all aspects. The other thing I really don`t like is the dog head, I hope it is there just this one time in the game. I think this dog is ugly and disgusting and would prefer a more menacing kind of devilish dog/wolf. Question Thanks for the large artwork! I really like Mana`s work! Can we also please have large artwork of her previous work (picture in spoiler quote)? Angel said we will get it at some point, maybe I have missed it. Thanks!
