I hope it's not 3D.

Thread: Invalidated.

Anyhow, I'm hoping for a 2D Castlevania game, sprites preferred (yum).

Fixed, and I agree.

They just dont like Wii users. Why else would they give us Judgment?

DO WANT!

LaneDS · (10-09-2008, 09:42 AM)

Cautiously excited since it's Castlevania, but like most I'm pretty wary of any Consolevania post-SOTN.

At least I'm reasonably sure it won't be a fighter. Maybe it'll be a puzzle game!

taku · (10-09-2008, 09:42 AM)

YES! Hurray for Satan Castle Dracula!

Leonsito · (10-09-2008, 09:43 AM)

I love when all the news come from Japan, every post has a ? at the end

Steroyd · (10-09-2008, 09:46 AM)

For all that is good in the world don't do 3D. :(

Chemo · (10-09-2008, 09:46 AM)

If Igarashi has anything to say about it, this'll be the worst game on high def consoles when it releases. Looking forward to this shit is probably the most fruitless endeavor a gamer could undertake this side of signing a Shenmue 3 petition.

AlternativeUlster · (10-09-2008, 09:48 AM)

At least us Wii owners are getting the definitive Castlevania game which will be one of the greatest fighters since N64's War Gods. Mark my words on this one.

With that awful internet translator we can read

Quote:

"Satan castle Dracula" was done the photograph taken from life making into a film in Hollywood, and clarified the decision to Crystal sky Piccharz by which Shilban white Mr. and production that the supervisor was known by the work such as "Stomp Za yard" had handled "Ghost rider" etc. to another.

waiting for a proper translation, seems like a game based in the future movie..

Sorry, just want more info, the concept was clear.

is that a lightsaber?

Shin Johnpv · (10-09-2008, 09:57 AM)

UGH Another 3D Castlevania, they've only managed to get worse with each one they make. This should pretty much be Unplayable, I also expect it to look like a Xbox/GC game. Curse of Darkness looked bad even for a PS2 game.

I'm such a sucker for this shit. Please be decent!

Getting excited here even though I shouldn't

Angelus · (10-09-2008, 10:24 AM)

I guess I'm in the minority but I loved the N64 Castlevania games.

So listen up Konami...
Please make this game a platform adventure,no horseshit rpg leveling elements,no back tracking. Its been done to death and is beyond stale already. Just a straight forward 3D adventure that uses the power of these next gen. machines.

Spanish project for Konami Europe, I doubt they cancelled his game for this.

You too.

LaneDS · (10-09-2008, 10:58 AM)

I'd love to be wrong about this but us Castlevania fans have been clamoring for another 2D home console Castlevania since 1997, so I don't expect this to be. The only thing remotely close was Castlevania Chronicles, which was a fairly ho-hum remake. Once it became fairly clear that 3D Castlevania was very hit-or-miss (depends on who you talk to, but I'd wager most would call them misses) people have asked for 2D or 2.5D CV and they (Iga?) haven't really honed in on that sentiment in over a decade.

But yes, I very much wish to be proven wrong in a grand manner here.

Rei_Toei · (10-09-2008, 11:03 AM)

Seems chances are higher Iga'll make a retro Castlevania like MM9. Guess at least some people will be excited by that prospect, but I'd take a high-res 2D Castlevania over the MM( treatment any day.

Shaheed79 · (10-09-2008, 11:11 AM)

They should just commission Vanillaware to make a Wii game. Demon Blade looks like hot sex. Imagine a CV game with these graphics.

Seriously, it's not impossible to do a great 3d castlevania, the fact konami still couldn't means nothing.
Take DMC4, replace Dante with Alucard, have everything take place in one huge castle with metroid-like structure, give it an action rpg style inventory system and character growth, and you're all set.

Mar_ · (10-09-2008, 11:13 AM)

waaaatt....?

If true, this came out of nowhere. I've been wanting a real Castlevania sequel for years (current gen, non 3D or at least 2.5D).

Hype meter not sure if move.

glaurung · (10-09-2008, 11:14 AM)

Great news, though I sincerely hope that they do not go all the way 3D like Curse of Darkness.

That was one bad Castlevania.

Agreed.

I want a real 3D castlevania game that is GOOD.

then again, 2d with hi res sprites would be lovely too.
But it's not happening; it's a ps360 game, it would have to be hd, not just hi res, and i don't see konami putting that much effort in a niche genre.

I doubt it was canceled since there's a count down on their website.

Demon Blade looks good in screenshots, but stiff as hell in motion. Do not want.

Shaheed79 · (10-09-2008, 12:42 PM)

I completely disagree the animation in DB looks more fluid and superior to Odin Sphere not to mention a hell of a lot faster. Reminds me of GGXAC. The GT video was gimped try the gamekyo video instead. It's not direct feed and it's annoyingly zoomed in but you can clearly see how smooth the animation is compared to OS.

truly101 · (10-09-2008, 12:45 PM)

Curse of Darkness was a step in the right direction, they just need to spruce up the color palette and level design. I don't think Iga can conceptualize a metroidvania as a 3d action adventure, but there are plenty around so maybe he's bringing in someone to help him.
