It is. 2.5D UE4 with custom shaders. Hopefully they go for something like Guilty Gear Xrd.

People holding out on gameplay before pledging.
Do remember the point of the Kickstarter is to gain enough money to assure development is actually possible.
I think starting development on a game that is unsure with no starting funds to make development possible in the first place and THEN rely on a Kickstarter is somewhat backwards.
I really don't see the issue with Inti Creates either. They made some of the finest platformers available on the GBA, DS and Digital release (i.e Megaman Zero, ZX, and Megaman 9 and 10)
If we wrote of an entire dev based on one project (Mighty No. 9) then pretty much every single developer in the market would have been written off then. Just something to consider.

Time and time again we get titles with an influence of his work. He deserves to have his project funded. I think he'll do just fine with this.
David Hayter on there as a stretch goal is crazy.
I went and cancelled one of my other projects and I put a pledge down for me, myself, and I.

Not backing without Nintendo console support. Pretty disappointed in Igarashi honestly.
This just isn't true. Lots of small teams, or even individuals, have been able to make pretty nice looking sidescrollers using only 2D art and animation. There may be any number of reasons for going after polygons rather than 2d art, ranging from "we like it better" to "just because", but 2D being non-viable for budget reasons just doesn't pass the smell test with me.

I want to back. I do one Kickstarter a year and this might be my choice, but I'm pretty broke right now. Might just do the $5 tier and up it to physical in a few months.
if they can reproduce the magic from guilty gear, i'm fine with 2.5d.
if they cant'...i'll be bummed, but i'm still psyched for the game

I'll back this under duress. I'd really prefer a Wii U or 3DS game. Kinda weirded out about the "Why not Nintendo" section of the kickstarter too.
It should have been vanillaware 2D i think.
Problem is that with 3D, it'll be hard to manage an organic gothic look like Castlevania games. I mean they will need to put a lot of detail in that, bloodborne style, and have some cloth physics for the characters etc.. or it'll look too simplistic.
i'm worried he mention Strider.. Stridr isn't a bad looking game but it's cold as fuck and has none of the charm of an old game, visually..

That's nothing new for Iga's works.

Kojima isn't happening because she's busy, it's in the FAQ
Busy with what tho
I usually take the time to read/watch the pitch first and assess how much they creator want's for what's in return and when it would be delivered. Not this time as I fumbled to get my login details correct on the third try.
Regards to Unity vs UE4, seeing as quite a few Unity games I've played have some framepacing issues which really, really do sour games in this vain, UE4 is a much better choice.

Not sure that I care for their attempt at creating social media tools with their "backer achievements."
Still, good campaign; goals and rewards are reasonable. A physical copy option is a nice surprise I didn't see coming, and the music sounds great.

A miserable little pile of posting privileges.
It is.
I'm hovering over the "back this project" button, but I want to see more before I click tho.
Yeah, I wonder how they will handle that for the inevitable stretch goal.
Personally, I'd prefer if they just focus on high-end platforms rather than stretching themselves too thin, but I realize that not everyone sees it that way.

Keep it sprite based Inti. Keep it Sprite based.
Edit: It's gonna be 3D? Well then. Immitate Abyss Odyssey as much as you can Inti.
I have no issue if it's 2.5D and looks similar to:
That looks like shit tho

kinda crazy how fast the money is rising, looks good will kickstart it 48hrs before it is finished
Also MN9 plays great. I can understand people having a problem with the art style but this is clearly aiming for a completely different theme.
I bet they are thinking about a complementing game if they get enough funds. That one would probably be made with the last gen and WiiU in mind.

For people like me: There is a paypal option! Look at the faq!
I've never done kickstarter before, so I'd be billed in 32 days (providing it meets the $500k, which it will) or when it just hits $500k?
I'm undecided on the physical copy.

Lol I never know if by 2.5D people mean 3D objects in a side scrolling world (like donkey kong tropical freeze), or like castle crashers where you can move into the background and foreground.

Yeah, if they can achieve anything close to that, I'll be happy. Still nervous, though.
Still nice to see nonetheless.
I edited my post
. I now want it to look similar to Abyss Odyssey, a game with a very Castlevania feel and gorgeous 3D art. I forgot that it's possible for a good 3D style with 2D gameplay like AO.

At this rate, it will be funded in a few hours.
If they could do something like Guilty Gear Xrd for this it would be fucking amazing.
