True side-scrolling fans will buy it on the 3DS.

Can't wait to check out a demo for it! It looks like it could be friggin' fantastic.

It's not coming out on 3DS, is it?

Regardless, WayForward is churning out games like loaves of bread. Hope they don't screw them up.

Imitation is the best form of flattery!

I love the phrase "cacophony of disaster". It's completely different from "Aria of Sorrow" or "Harmony of Dissonance".

I'm all up on wayforwards jock, so this is a buy for me. If it hits 3ds that'll be sweet.

That trailer sold me on this game.

Dv8thwonde: The 3DS was getting a different BloodRayne game. But that was put on hold a while ago...

It looks like a Flash game.

Please put this on 3DS...

I tried watching the video, but it seems to have been removed. Bummer.

@Master Snake:

What video has been removed? Are you getting an error message? You shouldn't be.

This defnately needs to be on 3DS - especially seeing that a lot of the Castlevania side-scrollers were successful on DS. I didn't realise that BloodRayne: Shroud had been delayed tho.

Definitely want to play this! Looks like my kind of game. Add another game blip to my already crowded radar screen.

I'd like to see this one (when the demo comes out I guess) on my own console/HD=TV. Hopefully I'll like it more then... the gameplay seems likely to be fine, but I find the art style to be a turn-off thusfar. Hopefully, I'll change my mind after some hands-on time with it. I really wanna like this one.

I love some of his comments:

"You can suck blood to drain health from enemies, or you can suck blood and infect them-" (And I'm thinking, 'to turn them into vampire slaves') "-and punch your fist into them and make them explode."

"We didn't want Rayne to do anything too crazy... so here's this Rocket coffin, which has a drill on the front and rocket boosters on top, and you can run around and slash people to pieces and make people explode."

@Nick Chester: Yeah, I guess I was getting an error message saying the video was removed. I can watch it now, so all's well.

@ScrappyDoo

I guess "A Boy And His Blob" did too?

looks gorgeous :P

haters fuck off ^^

@Scrappy: YOU look like a flash game. How ya been troll? I've missed you.

Want. Want bad.

Has anyone watched past the end title yet? WayForward loooooves moon pies

So, flash games are bad...?
I think this game might get the coveted s. mcgee seal of approval.

It looks like it plays well, but I hope they mix it up a little so we aren't just walking forward and killing shit for the entire game.

"Rayne can take on a few guys at once"

Haaa.

I couldn't help myself.

Please get rid of that highly-intrusive combo/text box.

Flash game? He's being nice. I'll be brutally honest. Said it before and I'll say it again; Looks like some Japanese dev/weaboo got hold of a western IP and tried to make it play like a Castlevania game. Worse still, it looks like a giant rip off of Dishwasher: Dead Samurai/Vampire Smile. Not horrid per se but if you're going to make an anime side-scroller or a Bloodrayne slasher, PICK AND CHOOSE! This isn't like peanut butter and chocolate, more like Peanut Butter and Ketchup.

As a long time fan of the Bloodrayne series, which includes watching all 3 Bloodrayne movies(uh...yeah...) I am disappoint.

Looks good, I would really want this for 3DS, the way those characters were jumping into the screen would be perfect for 3D. I'm hoping since this is early footage, there's going to be lots of different enemy varieties, but just looking at that video and I'm already sick of seeing those guys with blonde hair and blue coats.

Wow, the anime aesthetic and smooth tweens really help's it's new look. This is shaping up to be the best Bloodrayne yet!

Actually I liked a lot, however I agree with many people here and I think that this has to see the light on 3DS too.

^ me too

Just sayin

It does look like a Flash game. If, you know, you consider Muramasa: The Demon Blade a Flash game. Which it is, if "Flash game" just means "game made in Flash."

I think it looks fucking incredible.

In re a 3DS port: uh, why does this need to come out on 3DS, exactly? I mean, if it looked the same on the 3DS, that'd be just fine with me, and I'm certainly not averse to a 3DS version, but if you own an Xbox or a PS3, why would you complain about it not being on 3DS, instead of, you know, playing the game?

You people are never happy, are you?

I can see why fans of Bloodrayne might be disappointed, but as a fan of 2D, side scrolling action games, I think this looks great.

I'm a fan of Bloodrayne mahself, but I'm not impressed of what I am seeing at the moment :L.

Still, it looks great as a 2D sidescroller ITSELF, not a Bloodrayne related game.

I'm picking it up though.

Yeah this looks amazing. First non-mediocre bloodrayne title? Maybe!

I agree with Mr. Holmes

So everyone using a 2D skeleton system for rotating, scaling and translating tiles with 2d sprites is using Flash the infamous scripted resource hog? Sorry but that's BS! The graphics of this game couldn't be handled by Flash in a performant way. And the developers? Who in their right mind would use vector graphics for a console game?
Vanillaware uses an editor that is largely based off Flash but that's all. Aquaria uses a similar self-developed system that is not Flash based. You could also check out the Monocle-engine by Infinite Ammo. And then there are even Behemoth that are very heavy on Flash but have an own proprietary engine for consoles.
That said the only meaningful usage of Flash on consoles is for editing your animations or creating menus and in the later case you would use Scaleform products.

herpderp Put it on 3DS so I have a reason to own it besides SSF4. Does it really matter? Looks pretty nice for 800 or 1200 space bucks on XBLA/PSN. Not all 2D Platformers have to be on portables. I wonder if Super Meat Boy would of gotten this flak if it came out now. Or is all this 3DS talk just because WayFoward did Contra 4 and Shantae?

Not to be a downer, but the blood in here doesn't look particularly realistic. It looks awesome, but not realistic.

But then, realism is highly overrated.

@Skrams

Nobody's saying it shouldn't be on PSN or XBLA, in fact the more systems its on the better, that way no-one gets left out. It's just that metroidvania like side-scrollers would be cool to have on 3DS too, especially considering how much of a success the side-scrollign Castlevania's were on DS. Plus there's no reason why they couldn't port it to the system.

No 3DS. Why? That damn analog nub. I don't know about yous guys, but after decades of platforming with a D-pad, analog is out of the question for side-scrollers.

I'm pretty sure WayForward makes all/most of their games in C++.

I definitely want this game.

@ M47r1X So true 2D games just arnt ment to be played on an analog stick, analog stick is ment for 360 degre movement and is very sloppy when used for 2D games with only 8 directions. The 3ds has a dpad but is just too low down to be comfortable
