I see lol.Efrain != Eric.
And I just remembered Eric's hair is actually /Green/, it was turned blond for the western art.
BTW, this art
Is pretty fantastic, was it made by one of the Lords of Shadow guys? Looks like it is.
No, his hair was always blonde. It was just the sprite had green hair.
It was either a hoodie or had to do with matching colors of his hair with the HUD.

I think I find the mention of people wanting original art and assets strange because in all other circumstances that would give the impression that this being an Indie title. It's ironic and very unfortunate that folks seem to find more to be interested in a fan game based on an existing work despite this, I've seen it time and time again, and it shouldn't be this way.
I generally dislike repeating myself but if games like SoR:R or even AM2R were the same games but with entirely new and original assets to be sold commercially on Steam, they would likely be largely ignored because of the stigma that seems to surround Indie games regardless of their quality.
I understand Indie means independent developer funding their own work, based on the amount of responses I've read on GAF, gives that many gives the impression that Indie means low budget or quality.
Play and enjoy Lecarde Chronicles 2 folks and if you actually do like it, maybe consider checking out Wallachia: Reign of Dracula once it comes out by the same dev.
They kept the green in Portrait of Ruin.
Oh I remembered that one. In conclusion, IGA doesn't give a fuck.
Did you even watch the video? It looks like a lot of love and respect for the series went into it.

This looks downright stunning for a free fan game. I'm baffled by the "looks rough" or "looks like a ROM hack" comments, I'm almost inclined to think people have forgotten what older Castlevania games looked like.
Just in case your post isn't sarcasm, you know that's a pachinko machine, right? (it might not be obvious from the trailer if you can't read katakana).

Konami is dead and buried. Hopefully some other developer picks up the slack!!

My thoughts not exactly, I don't understand how some people are not impressed by the visuals, especially in motion and considering this is a free fan made game...
Bomberman has given us some bitter hope if only for a 2D CV game, as they're similary "low effort" games. That Bloodstained looks bad just makes it worse. Even if it didn't, it's not the same without Dracula and the Belmonts.
His hair isn't green in the game either. You only see him as a ghost lol, his entire being is shaded blue.
Not like the original game was consistent either:

does this support ps4 controllers?

The first game is much lower in quality that the sequel. I would suggest skipping the first and playing this one directly.

Not sure, I am playing it with an XBOX controller and it works without issue, you can even rebind the buttons.

cause Konami doesn't give a shit about Castlevania
You can rebind buttons.
I would suggest using xpadder or something if you have issues.

Cool, never heard of this before but it's always nice to hear about a fan project that won't get the legal hammer on it.
Also, never hurts to have another game in this great genre.
A bit off-topic, but the "v" in Castlevania in that cover art looks like a "b" to me, instead. Castlebania.

Screenshots don't do the game justice at all. Watch the video and listen to the music. I'll probably nab this. Man, I miss a proper Konami Castlevania.

When did this happen and why haven't I seen a single mention of it until now?

Haha because it's not true, it's a pachislot machine.
Hey, pachislots are games too. Konami obviously thinks they are the future.

There are two EXE files, you can try the secondary EXE file if the primary doesn't work.

This looks -so- much better in motion than the screenshots allude to. Wow.

Awesome! AM2R is one of my favorite games of last year, I would love some CV goodness. So how is the first game?

I think it looks fucking awesome for a fan made game and wasn't even aware of its existence until just now...
Downloading right now. I know what I'll be playing later on today. AM2R was one of my favorites of last year as well.

A good metroidvania is leagues more work than bomberman, I'd bet.
I wouldn't hope too hard if I were you.

After checking it out for a few minutes, controls feel great, looks great in motion and feels quite a bit like Rondo movement wise to me. Can't wait to dive in later to see how the world is overall.
Extremely promising so far.
PS: Devs, if you read this thread, thanks for your time and effort. Fan games in general never fail to impress me on that front.

I don't want to spoil anything but if you played Order of Ecclesia, this game has sort of a similar world structure. The quality of the game really blew my mind and is what drove me to create this OT.
