Calling it an empty box is really misleading. It's really just a "My First Retro Game Box" crafting set.
But didn't those backers already got a code? So they got an extra code?
An empty box would have been better than a flat piece of cardboard, the piece of cardboard is even more of a slap in the face
Think about that
Sending an empty box would be better than what they actually sent
Bullshit they had actual footage that was comparable to what was released before the kickstarter ended. That was always called a mockup.
This is your reminder that the reason Capcom is the way they are this generation is because Keiji ran them into the ground last generation before skipping out on the company.
Why? The risk is still way higher. Shipping the box unassembled is clearly a safer and more practical solution.
Not to defend the game but I never once thought it was gonna look like that concept art. I always knew it was gonna be 2.5D. I think they made it pretty clear.
The 7 days mockup has better lighting than the final game.
Surely this is an exaggeration, but could you provide a link?
I'd say shipping it disassembled is a good idea, makes damage during transit less likely. The rest of it, though...
Wow, do you work for Inafune?Yeah it wasn't the best game in the world and had it's problems but it played well and was pretty fun for a play through. This belief that it was hot trash like Big Rigs or something is exaggeration at it's best.
You should check out the star citizen kickstarter if you want to see some delays.

Probably tacos with the janitor or some intern 🌮Has the person who paid $10k to get a dinner with inafune gotten their reward? Last I heard the answer was still no
2.5D games can look great. All I'm saying is that it was never gonna be a 2D sprite game.MN9 and Bloodstained don't understand that 2.5D doesn't have to be ugly and cheap looking.
Wow, do you work for Inafune?
You are the clear example of "All's well that ends well". Did you forget everything that happened ?
Sounds about right. MN9 was supposed to be the middle finger to capcom, but in the end, Inafune gave the middle finger to the fans.
Holy **** is this actually even legal? e:
Those************** and their wording really got them out of this.
There is no link this is just hate on the man for stuff he didn't do.
Wow, dat fine print tho.
I'm sure the man's work on high profile failures like Dark Void, Lost Planet 2 and Bionic Commando 2009 really helped their bottom line.
Maybe a couple of years ago but Capcom now has no excuse to keep acting the way they do.This is your reminder that the reason Capcom is the way they are this generation is because Keiji ran them into the ground last generation before skipping out on the company.
I'm not really understanding the reactions in this thread. Probably because I haven't been following this whole kickstarter thing
but
The tier does just say box. Not physical game
and it does seem like a good idea to keep the box flat so it isn't damaged in shipping
the manual doesn't fit that is amusing
soooo
reaction.gif?
Were backers expecting a premium plastic box with a physical copy of the game or something?
So you admit you lied by saying they claimed that picture would be the released game? The initial videos are still pretty close to the final game.

I'll defend Lost Planet 2. That game is a gem.I'm sure the man's work on high profile failures like Dark Void, Lost Planet 2 and Bionic Commando 2009 really helped their bottom line.
Just like Capcom did.... how appropiate.
But Bloodstained will be ok, right?
Wow, do you work for Inafune?

I lied? WTF is wrong with you?
When you start a kickstarter and post a mockup highres 2D image of your game protagonist in an action shot by someone who used to have a reputation making solid platformers, most people will asume that's what the game production is aiming for and that the final product will attempt to resemble that.
He is obviously trying to rewrite history here.
I'll defend Lost Planet 2. That game is a gem.
Aren't the 3DS/Vita versions still supposed to be in development?
1. Hand Held versions They are not being cancelled, we are still in the process of porting. The porting had to be put on hold for a while due to the other versions being delayed and the recent adjustment we had in comcept. However, everything is back on track now. The developer restarted the porting process in early May, and we estimate to release them within 2017 (it could be earlier, but its hard to estimate a more precise date at this point). We will update on this when we have more information.
I'm confused. Someone paid $60 for a box got said box and are complaining? What were they expecting? It still came with a digital copy of the game right?
Technically, the Kickstarter promised an empty box, so that's what they're getting. However, they also promised a "Full Color Manual" that comes INSIDE the box and that oversized manual looks pretty monochrome to me.
Holy shit is this actually even legal? e:
Those fuckers and their wording really got them out of this.
"This will be shipped to you with the instruction manual already inside". That sounds like a promise that it would fit in the box.Yes people are complaining just to shit on the game some more at this point. This was never hidden.
They never promised it would fit in the box. And since no one has taken pictures of the manual we don't know if it is color or not.

Project Phoenix (MIA, possibly KIA)
"This will be shipped to you with the instruction manual already inside". That sounds like a promise that it would fit in the box.
Really? There is a huge gap of quality between the "7 days" build shown during the KS and the first demo released way after the KS ended.
Yes and then when they release video footage of the game running and say this is what our game will look like you then go by that. They had actual footage of the game running within the active kickstarter period. I remember it pretty well since people started bitching about how it didn't look like the concept art then as well. They never stated the game would be exactly like the concept art.
Yeah, I backed this at $60 fully expecting an empty game box. The complaining in this thread really is just jumping aboard a (justified) hate train. I do, however, take issue with the fact that the damn manual doesn't fit in the box. I really just thought, "why bother", since the entire thing continues to be phoned in. I'm also quite annoyed at never getting the USB drive shaped like a Famicom cart like they promised as an addition to the backer rewards.
Inafune's legacy really is pretty stained after this whole mess, and it's a shame. I, along with many others, I'm sure, kind of considered him a legend and contributor to retro gaming history. It really sucks to have him essentially kick himself off that pedestal this way.
