If it's in the same price point of Child of Light I'll probably pick it up. It definitely looks interesting.

Magicite3636d ago

PC version day one for me without a question

mohuzas3637d ago

Inspired by 2 Nintendo series, coming to 2 non Nintendo platforms :P

DanManDantheMan3637d ago

Don't worry, I know how to fix that. ;)

randomass1713637d ago

Oh? By all means do tell.

mikel10153637d ago

Bring it to Wii U! It's already an indie platform of choice

Blacklash933637d ago (Edited 3637d ago )

Wouldn't be the first time.

thehobbyist3637d ago

It's a kickstarter game. So if it gets funded we could request a Wii U stretch goal.

Qrphe3637d ago

Is there really a need to make everything a derivative of everything else?

vallencer3637d ago

Recognition is how people relate to things as well as make a purchase. It's normal. It also makes things easy to explain. You say something is like zelda and you immediately have an idea of what it's going to be like.

randomass1713637d ago

It's nearly impossible to be completely original in this day and age. Gotta take inspiration from somewhere.

thehobbyist3637d ago

Not really derivative so much as it won't sell without a frame of reference. Consumer's today aren't very willing to just jump into an experience without a frame of reference. Because they feel more secure spending money on it if they're told it will be like another thing that they spent money on and didn't end up regretting later.

Shiness Kickstarter Backers Revolt Over Broken PS4 & Xbox One Promises

Joanna Mueller writes: "Enigami was attempting to backpedal on their promises. Suddenly backers could only claim one digital console key, regardless of how many copies of the game they’d pledged toward. And this was only available to backers who’d pledged at an unspecified tier."

garyanderson2562d ago

Sounds like they made a bunch of promises to keep raising money, pretty shady.

JackTheLiz2562d ago

Just come out and admit you're a shill for Cliqist alright?

annoyedgamer2562d ago (Edited 2562d ago )

He is also tied with NewNormative both of those sites are owned by the same people. Look at their contributor lists.

Situations like this is why I don't bother with Kickstarter. Say one thing, do another. Sounds like another company who had a game release Sept of 2014 who pulled a similar situation.

Patriot4Life2562d ago

Never understood why people give money to someone with just promises...should be a rule in KS that a game or product has to be 30% complete before backing can start.

Also, the person asking to r money cannot ask fr more money until goal and promises are complete.

JunMei2560d ago

And how do they afford the development costs if it's already 30% complete?

The fact is, we shouldn't let the shortcomings a few well-publicized instances sour people on the idea of crowd funding.

Patriot4Life2560d ago

I would agree with you but its not just a few...this happens more often than you think.

Video games and non-related video game product have made promises only to walk away and give us nothing.

Atleast send them to jail for not giving back the money.

It's a very sad situation and I can understand why people are upset. Mistakes happen.

The game is great.

MetroidFREAK212562d ago

And that's yet another reason I don't pledge anything on Kickstarter...

XanderZane2561d ago

I pledged to 3 games and all 3 games were completed and sent to me. Only game that really didn't live up to it's promises was Mighty #9. It was an average game, but still fun. I haven't backed anything else since.

arkard2561d ago

I've pledged 2. H hour, which I pledged for a ps4 copy and have never received. Also pledged for vita copy of Bloodstained, so far that looks to be going OK.
