SaysWho? Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/2266944 Quote Our first announcement is that the game will now launch in 2019. The most important reason for this is to raise the quality level, especially after all the very valuable feedback from the Beta Backer Demo. The second announcement is that the game will no longer launch on PlayStation Vita. This decision is largely due to Sony’s plans to discontinue the Vita console, ending production of physical copies and stopping certain online store support features. It is extremely unfortunate, but as a result, we won’t be releasing the game on Vita. For the backers who have ordered the PS Vita version of the game, you will be able to choose another platform or request a refund. This process should be expected through an email that will be sent by Fangamer. It may be troublesome, but please be sure to respond and make the changes. [Note: Vita backers will be receiving an e-mail with additional instructions soon. Vita backers who would like to change platforms can do so now on their survey pages. Vita backers who backed at an unlimited tier and can receive a refund over PayPal can submit a request before 9/20/18 to initiate a manual refund of the affected games.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eventide11 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Of course it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness35 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This also indirectly confirms that the Vita has been discontinued now. Sucks to hear that though :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think everyone knew this would be a 2019 launch after how successful the Kickstarter was (did anyone really expect it out this year?) however I am really sad that the Vita version got axed it was one of the copies I backed for.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Not surprised. Husband had the Vita version backed, but he changed it to Switch a long time ago, because that just makes more sense. I actually changed my digital copy to Switch from Steam.

Keyser_Soze Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Game looked pretty rough so this is most likely good news. Except the Vita part but it 's not news that affects me as I never had a Vita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I switched my copy from Vita to Switch a while back. Sad Vita not getting a version but whatever it is 2018 and the game will be a 2019 game. I hope the extra time allows them to ploish it more. I just want a good game in the end and maybe one not to look super dated out of the gate but it is a throwback anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Releasing the NES-styled game was super smart. People won't complain as much, because they've already delivered something worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 The 8-bit one looks so infinitely cooler, they should've just cancelled this eye-cancer inducing travesty and made that one three times as long instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 While i didn't really have a problem with the way it looked before, i like the improvement. I was okay with a mid-tier, crowdfunded, small production project looking like a mid-tier, crowdfunded, small production project. Fortunately, it looks like he had the opportunity to take a step back and re-think the aesthetics and probably bring in some extra artists. Also he probably saw what happened with Mighty No. 9.

DPCyric Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I was ok with the old graphics I was in for the gameplay and just ok graphics were fine but now it looks gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Im in it to win it boys. Got the NES bloodstained with gold coins and preordered the physical release on amazon. This has been a good switch week. Got the RE games cuz portable RE4 is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 This was the first thing I backed on Kickstarter. I haven't minded the delays at all. I just want a great game. I should be getting the digital copy on Switch and physical on PS4. I bought all three physical copies on the 8-bit style prequel Curse of the Moon. That game has a vita version. I am thinking I might pickup a physical Switch copy from Best Buy after I play the game. This is the closest Castlevania game we are going to get so I'm all in.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yeah, I'm pretty ready for this. We preordered the bigass set with the autographed stuff and it's been so long, I can't remember what all it comes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Wayforward really polished it up I was concerned about the 3D approach but it looks fantastic now!

Bloodporne Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Anyone see the PSN Store trailer? It consists of a slew of tweets bashing the game and then shows improvements with "CRAP/NOT CRAP" comparisons. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Enjoying it. Feels a lot like modern castlevania with some extra twists. the soundtrack is good, voice acting is mostly good but the painful shard absorption scream is a bit not good. Graphics are pretty good with the exception of when it zooms to the characters in dialogue scenes or the menu, there is some ugly dithering and aliasing. Hopefully they patch it. It's nice that equipment changes show up on your character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
