Some kinda DMC... no?
-
.
-
does look DMCish.
-
Why is it so colorful? (The life bar)
-
Its japanese. They are obsessed with contrast.
Bad screens, but I can expect some good stuff.
-
/me waits for L-I-C to flame it because it isn\'t 2D like he did with metroid prime ;).
-
Your wait is over....
What in the F**K are they thinking? We have tried two CastleVania games in 3D and they both f**king sucked! And give me a break. This is an obvious DMC rip-off! I guess Konami decided originality was not important.
And what in the hell happened to their promise that a 2D Castlevania game was coming to the PS2? Oh, I guess those went to hell, once they realized that they could make millions off of great 2D CastleVania games.
Ya\' know what, if it wasn\'t for the 2D CastleVania game (Aira of Sorrow) comin\' out, I\'d say f**k Konami and I hope they go under.
With that said....I will go induce vomiting at this point!
-
Is it Simon Belmont again the lead character in this one like the classics?
looks bad by the pics but don\'t judge it just yet.
they are bringing back some classics (Shinobi,Castlevania,Rygar...)
what next?
How about Chuck Rock?!? or Streets Of Rage?!?
-
L-I-C took the words right out of my mouth.
-
I forgot to add. Konami can shove this game up their a$$.
Sorry, just abit enraged.

Three things I have to say:
The man behind the project is not the same man as behind the other 3D game.
Are all 3D games with a main character that uses a sword (this one has a whip as well, I think) DMC ripoffs?
Don\'t write it off just yet, you\'ve yet to play it. At least wait for some in depth previews or at least some better quality screens.
-
I want no previews. I want no un-biased opinions.
I hate this game. No matter how well it looks. I hate this game. I hate that they promised a 2D CastleVania for the PS2 and won\'t deliver. I hate that they lied to fans like that. I hate everything this game stands for.
\'Nuff said.
Oh, I feel the same about Metriod Prime also..
-shrugs-
-
I can\'t be a cynic about this. With so many things I\'ve seen in the past year with Metroid going 3D, Link turning into a cartoon, and me actually having fun with a 3D Shinobi - I can\'t dismiss this as crap based on 2 crappy screens wrapped up in two crappy scans.
Like everything else at E3 though... we shall see.
-
I think my main problem with this is - for the past three or so years, Konami has kept promising and saying there was a 2D CastleVania in the vain of SOTN in development for the PS2 - yet it turns out they was lying and we got a 3D CastleVania. And I\'m sorry - I played the 3D CastleVania\'s, so call me skeptical, but they frickin\' sucked.

Yeah. Straight up!!! That aside. I do agree with you. No matter how hard they try, it will be hard to ever make a game with a sword and trenchcoat in 3D without somebody saying DMC rip. DMC is now legendary (to me and a few others at least) but who knows this game MIGHT be ok. I wouldnt mind if they did it similar to the new contra game :) . But seeing these screens obviouly knocks that out of the picture.

When DMC was created, even Capcom acknowledged that it was "CastleVania in 3D" for the most part. Konami now faces the fact, that it has been done. It was done by Capcom. Konami missed their golden chance to take CastleVania 3D , when they put the craptacular ones out on the N64.
And come on. Konami knows people want Castlevania 2D. The three GBA games have been top sellers , game of the months for magazines, game of the year for the GBA and have been praised by the gamers. They also know that Castlevania: SOTN is thought to be one of the all time best games ever and was the pinnacle of 32-Bit gaming and the PSone games. There is no reason for them to ignore the fact the gamers and critics want a 2D Castlevania installment on their home systems.
-
So true
-
Could you imagine a 128 bit 2D Castlevania game like SOTN! The backgrounds, the lighting effects, etc. I\'ll still check this game out though. I wonder if this game is work in progress from the Dreamcast version which was cancelled along time ago.
-
I rather not imagine it , as it would just depress me. I\'m currently playing Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and every once in awhile I think of how this could be on a home system. The sound, the graphic and everything ... It could easily be game of the year all around. Instead, Konami ignores the plea\'s of gamers for a direct sequel to CastleVania: Sotn on the home consoles. They rather make us go blind playing the three excellent portable games - which by the way are 2D ..
*ahem*
-
My friend said that there\'ll be a new Castelvania that\'s 2-D. He said it looked "tight as hell". I don\'t know if I believe him, but I\'ll just take his word since he\'s the biggest fan of Castlevania I know. The 3-D versions just sucked soooo much. They must stop making those...
-
Your friend is on crack, sadly.
There was *suppose* to have been a Castlevania in development for the PS2 and it was suppose to have been 2D. Turns out all those great 2D games have been on the game GBA. ..All hopes for a 2d Castlevania on the home systems are gone at this point.
-
A Castlevania thats not 2D is not a Castlevania.:mad:
-
I agree a hundred and ten percent, yet Konami has not grasped this. They are still under the opinion that if it is on a home console it needs to be 3D . Tho\', I\'ll never understand this logic when you consider that CastleVania: SoTN is one of the greatest PSX games and before the "greatest hits" version would fetch up to $100 dollars on Ebay... Then take the port of it for the Saturn - it fetches well over 100 dollars often..... Then, take in account how well the three 2D games for the GBA have sold in the past two years. The demand is there and Konami ignores us.
