Metroidvania is actually a really poorly defined term. Some people say they have to be 2D. Some people say it has to have platforming. Or be non-linear, or have sequence breaks, etc. Some people don't even consider Metroids to be metroidvanias, and instead call them "Metroid games". Part of the...

I have a very strict definition of metroidvanias, if there are no reverse boss order sequence breaks or mockballing, it's just some action adventure platformer at best.

I ain't hyped. It might not be bad, but I'd be surprised if it were great.

Your wallet needs to fund this more than Steam sales, guys.

I got a refund for D4. I'm happy with that.

Maybe it will be Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Pinball: HD Remasterbated

If there was some kinda stealth/horror thing involving the Zero Suit, I'd be kay with that. But that's about it, personally.

You've all failed me.

Maybe it's Dig Dug Prime? As in a FPS Dig Dug?

It literally makes me think of Dig Dug crossed with W101. Please tell me that's what this is.

Not because Konami didn't want him to properly succeed a hard-ish game like OoE and instead wanted him to make kinect stuff?

SENPAI NOTICED ME :PUN:

All I want is cool platforming that is incorporated alongside cool abilities and cool enemies. It doesn't need to take up a million brain cells, but only using 1 brain cell is also kinda lame.

Maybe it's because I'm an immature troll at heart, but I love almost everything you post, Ruin.

Sorry yeah, I did mean Dissonance. I forgot about Despair, mainly because I did not like it.

Difficulty can be in place to make interactions with the levels or enemies interesting. It probably won't be as hard as OoE but I'd really like that. And if the game is too big to accommodate for the lack of features or playstyles, the game will be too long and overstay its welcome. While...

I consider OoE to be the most challenging as well, as long as we talking Igavania's. I love that game and most of Iga's installments, so no, Igavanias are definitely my thing. SotN is in my top 5 fave games of all time. But with Bloodstained set to release 2 whole decades after Symphony....I...

Metroidvania's tend to be short. A 80-90% playthrough usually takes less than 9 hours. I hope Bloodstained changes that to a considerable degree. Iga's games aren't that challenging though unless you do some kinda lv.1 run like in OoE. If most of the challenge is level grinding and getting the...

Whatever it is, you can trust Platinum. Most companies that announce a new IP, it's plagued by old and stale ideas for game design despite the new cast/setting. That's generally not the case with Platinum. They actually know the definition of "new".

I agree, if you take all the skill out of platforming, you virtually take all the skill out of designing platforms. Mixing both attaining new skills to access new areas AND needing some skill to use those skills is what would make an interesting Metroidvania.
