Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
So, the new game from Koji Igarashi, Bachi Castlevania - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!
"It's one of the key reasons I left Konami; the fans wanted it, and the company wasn't going in that direction", Koji Igarashi.
Kickstarter
Platforms: PS4, XBOX ONE, PC, WII U, PS VITA
Estimated release date: March 2017
By genre, this is a classic side-scrolling platformer with RPG and crafting elements
IMPORTANT: Michiru Yamane is responsible for the soundtrack, who previously enjoyed her work in Castlevania: Bloodlines. Her music for Symphony of the Night can rightfully be considered, if not the best, then one of the best in the series.

Already almost typed in asynchronous online multiplayer.
I thought they had money for orchestration for a long time, and it was planned.
I think they will collect the maximum for one more playable character, lam in 6 days looks very doubtful
Mighty no. 9 for the last day just somewhere lyam and collected.
If suddenly someone does not know what the creator is referring to:

Modified Jun 6, 2015 by SnatcherWill all the achivs finish off?
I have no doubt that they will finish it off. We have already collected 4,750,000. There are still 12 hours to go. 250k to collect as nefig to do.
Taking into account the drink, it fell (it is considered separately) already probably finished off.
All achievements are open and collected. The campaign is over. Congratulations to Iga: up:
Konami must have burned out from such success.
I hope they were there again 10 on the table fought at the sight of Igi's success. : agree:
In fact, it is not clear why they should burn. Iga would have made a new Castlevania - it would not have sold half a million copies.
This is where the kickstarter campaign did its job.
Kapkom also threw Mega Men, and then Inafune collected 4 lemma on Mighty. And if Kapkom had made a new MM, then again, it was not particularly successful commercially. That is, the situations in the new games of Igi and Inafune are similar.
I'm not defending Konami and Kapkom, no. But if they had invested in new Castle or MM, they would not have received such a return as here. It's just that Kickstarter himself turned out to be very necessary - he raised interest in such games, for which thanks to him.
And Igu congratulations on the fundraising (I threw a little myself) and the record on Kickstarter.
[member = 'Tinkino'], he says in the video that "the publisher thinks that such games are no longer interesting for the players - and they are wrong!" From this it should burn - they missed a potential source of income, which, with proper marketing, could become very successful.

But Konami would not invest a lot of money in the PR of the new Igavania. After this kickstarter campaign, there was at least some chance for it, but before - definitely not.

If Konami released a new 2D casle from Iga, even if it was very cool and on stationary consoles, and put a price tag of $ 60 on it, here everyone would be bombed from the inadequate price. And the kickstarter campaign made it possible to cut an average of almost a hundred dollars from each baker.
Konami is hard to blame for not trying. The company released three good games on the mega-popular Nintendo DS, and generated sales of just over a million. And the controversial (for Castle fans) LoS sold better than the most popular igavaniya (I'm talking about Symphony).
This is how it turns out that killing a financially unsuccessful product and then reviving it with fanfare is more profitable than trying to release games in a series at regular intervals.
Modified Jun 13, 2015 by WhiteBoy5.7 lam. Oh, Igi is strong! The publisher gave 5, and he collected the same amount! As far as the publisher is concerned, the less the publisher can influence the process, the better. There are exceptions, though.
And by the way about efforts, IMHO. There is a popular 3ds, where the development budget is clearly smaller, and the installation base is there. Mega men and castles could continue to be released.
Konami announced a new Castlevania ... and it would be better if they didn't

Well, why did people come up with a criminal code, I would go and shoot them, just the same it would be good from a moral point of view.
Well, what the hell is this !? A giant Cerberus or Varg flashed, a succubus, a dracula, it seemed like a battle flashed, but in all other respects it only scares. 777 !? Erotic !? In general, some kind of novel or movie in the style of a telltail is planned for the hike. Horror...
