GOW 3 destroys both combined and Lords of Shadow 2 is fantastic.

No
Lords of Shadow / GoW are both horrible templates and styles for Castlevania. It completely misses the point of the franchise.
So what would a modern castlevania look like that understands the point of the franchise? What's a good example of something in the last 20 years?
Honestly? Bloodborne is already the perfect Castlevania game
Didn't we just have a thread where he said he wanted to work on God of War forever?
Would much prefer they worked on a Castlevania game though.
So literal fake news? God dammit. PS5 purchase back on hiatus.No, it was kind of tongue in cheek and they were laughing about it a bit.
How was the last Castlevania woke?Oh no, another franchise destroyed by the woke.

Sony should not spend money on an IP they don't own by wasting their current best developer on it.A prestigious studio like SSM working on Castlevania should be a no brainer for Konami. If they’re willing to work with Bloober of all studios, the ink should be drying as we speak.
Sony Santa Monica- It was never going to be for you anyway.No thanks
only from software with miyazaki as directorI'd rather it go to some other Japanese dev honestly.
How is God of War and/or Castlevania woke?Oh no, another franchise destroyed by the woke.
I think you'll GamePass, amirite?

This is exactly what came to my mind!Why not after all Lords Of Shadow 1 was better than any GoW which came out that gen, time to restore it's glory.
LoS 2 wasn't all that good, tho.
Maybe Ragnarok was mediocre back in the days, but right now it's absolutely amazing!No. Ragnarok was mediocre and I don't want to see another mediocre Castlevania game. Give it to Platinum instead. At least then it will be flawed, but fun.
So? What makes you think he’d try to do a god of war clone? I’m sure the gane would play different.No

So is that the point of Castlevania? I think bloodborne works well too, but he has an idea that there is a point to it. Seems like a good game with Victorian aesthetics and a "Caslevania" paint job would work for most people if that's the case.
Pretty sure he's worked on every GOW gameHe may be better suited for that. I’d be down to soak in some gothic vampire atmosphere. I may actually be willing to endlessly walk around for that.
I really don’t want him on the next God of War. I’d like that series to be about bombast again. Let another series tell plodding, personal stories.
No, not them. I am not going to buy something that is going to make me rage quit.only from software with miyazaki as director
I think so, but I mean as a director.Pretty sure he's worked on every GOW game
I'm not your buddy, pal!Don’t call me Mate, Buddy
I love how just straight up stupid things have become where people will be like "Nah" and let the series rot even longer than to have something made that could be great or could not be great but they can make that decision themselves whether to buy it or not.
So fucking tired of it.
"I don't like it so it shouldn't exist"
Both opinions I don’t share.

Lords of Shadows with a GOW coat of paint and vicious combat? I’m inWhy not after all Lords Of Shadow 1 was better than any GoW which came out that gen, time to restore it's glory.

My dream Castlevania
No need to be so picky with the term, I meant it very informally like "selling point" or its unique proposition in the market, its distinct feeling to the games.
I absolutely hated the Lords game, and it's not just the absolutely awful, plodding Western-fantasy aesthetics (site note: yes, Castlevania has European fantasy as its theme but has always had a distinctly Japapese take of that genre, and you can't remove the latter without completely botching the style). Which by the way is the same kind of boring fantasy crap that the GoW franchise gives us, but I digress.
One major problem with Lords is that your character isn't supposed to be nimbly bouncing around in an arena-style area fight. And absolutely shouldn't have combos or any kind of combat system resembling that. Castlevania's protagonists are weighty above all else. A single strike with your whip or spear is a risk, where you lose a second and are open to attack. Even in SOTN this feeling mostly persists due to the cramped spaces and the feeling of the tighter sidescrolling design. Bloodborne gets that feeling right, when you walk up a staircase and find yourself pushed back by an enemy, or surrounded by dogs in a narrow street. The intense gameplay there, where one false move is death, matches Castlevania extremely well.
