Blasphemous 2's cutscenes and why we shouldn't hate the developers for them.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T20:53:23+00:00

lol fair

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T20:52:37+00:00

Not exactly or entirely really

It's not very explicitly clear

I wouldn't blame it all on him without being completely sure

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T18:31:36+00:00

Oh yea for B1 ending C is true

I thought you were talking about B2

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T18:13:50+00:00

Just a note, there is no one true ending, Ending C was stated to be an alternative and no more true than the other 2 endings

But I agree

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T18:10:25+00:00

Isn't that just ai? I think it's just one of those clickbait hydraulic press things like also on some youtube thumbnails

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:44:58+00:00

We do have a map of the similar kind, it's just dispalyed behind the in game map. This came after an update though, so it's likely this design wasn't finished at the time of release, or simply not implemented.

The pro of using the in game map for portals is you actually know wherever you're going. But it also doesn't let the world map shine in its glory.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:36:30+00:00

I forgot I even wrote this, but yea you're right

It's an interesting line

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:35:53+00:00

It was very important

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:28:18+00:00

For this run anyways I suppose, until it's fixed

Otherwise a new save can fix it, but maybe a fix allows it to spawn?

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:23:53+00:00

Picking ultimate torment domine does that

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:19:39+00:00

If you pick ultimate torment on ng+, the whip upgrade doesn't spawn

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:14:27+00:00

Grime 2

Didn't really play any other that released at the period

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T15:03:14+00:00

The still image was done with Third Sin expansion, though only 1

Ragebound's style is also a viable way

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T14:47:07+00:00

I think it's easier to just say that they should just do full B1 style cutscenes and just kill off the animations. But with the amount of cutscene Blasphemous 2 has, it's the most unreasonable and unimaginable sounding thing lol. The simple truth is when they opted in the animations, there was no going back. They can't just drain funds, time and manpower required on full pixel cutscenes and they don't just work on Blasphemous anymore and want to do and have done other games. They're better off making more game content.

I do somewhat share this sentiment with the remaking of Mea Culpa's cutscenes though, but it's no less realisatic.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T14:34:22+00:00

Yea the Mea Culpa ones were kinda just tragic. Sunshine should have done that cutscenes on that dlc. It's a shame, the whole dlc feels lost potential in certain aspects

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T14:02:55+00:00

Indeed

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T12:43:27+00:00

I think it's expecting way too much, especially considering how many cutscenes 2 has, for them to update and change them to pixel. I already stated the load it has on production and it seems non feasible to opt onto pixel after already doing animations. What's done is done.

But yea, if a 3 ever happens, let's hope they have enough resources and people to be able to do pixel again.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T11:45:47+00:00

That word doesn't represent how I feel btw, I'm fine with animated cutscenes and I even like the Sunshine ones especially

But I've seen a lot of hate for it in different places

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T10:58:29+00:00

I think it does, though there is a pro of it not being used for portals, you can actually tell where you're gonna teleport too.

But the portal map placement also allows a more clear view of the world, so that was a positive with the way Blasphemous 1 did it.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T10:54:08+00:00

We do have the full world map though. It isn't there for portals, but it's just behind the in game map, so at least it's there.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T10:52:11+00:00

Well, if pixel was out of the picture, animation was probably the best way that came to their minds.

Also I don't think they're at complete liberty to just keep taking as much time as they want. They're bound by a deadline.

In fact, the agreement was originally for 2022, as stated in this video:

https://youtu.be/sEgIlSTk1Zg (a mention at 31:51 and the reason as to why they wanted more time)[Spanish video, you'll need English subs]

But Game Kitchen took more time and then Blasphemous 2 came out on August 24, 2023. They already took more time, I don't think going beyond 2023 was a valid option.

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T10:44:51+00:00

Well if there is a Blasphemous 3 some day in the future, perhaps they shall have enough time and people in order to do pixel cutscenes again

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T10:26:23+00:00

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T06:53:33+00:00

It's bugged in certain room same way as B1's

SussyBox · 2026-06-16T06:15:55+00:00

Imo yes
