Title: E3: Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (For LIC)
Post by: Mr. Kennedy on May 13, 2003, 07:36:52 PM

Details, details, details.  I like what I see, but if anyone knows how great this game will be its LIC.

Though screenshots and information have already appeared in print magazines, Konami\'s new Castlevania game was officially announced today at the company\'s E3 Press Conference. Officially titled Lament of Innocence, Castlevania takes place ten centuries in the past (that would be the 11th century) and gives gamers control of the forefather of the Belmont clan, Leon. A nobleman arranged to marry his love Sara, Leon is shocked when he learns that his woman is kidnapped and taken to the mysterious Dracula\'s Castle. Pissed off and ready to slay some vampires, Leon embarks on a journey to get her back armed only with a dagger.

Due out in November and produced by the Master designer Koji Igarashi himself, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is definitely one of the hottest tickets of the show.

Odd.

The fighting looks like DMC.
The jumping platform screen looks exactly like CastleVania 64..

Not happy. No sir\'ee.
I\'m goin\' to download the footage though....while I play CastleVania: Aria of Sorrow...


Edit:

Well, I downloaded the video and I am even more dissapointed than before. It looks to me as though they took the DMC fighting style and threw it in a exact copy of the previous N64 3D CastleVania games. It just does not look appealing in the least.

I really wish they would have gone with 2D.

Some nice high resolution 2D spires would have been beautiful.

I guess I\'ll have to wait for more footage and gameplay impressions, but it\'s not looking good right now.

Hmmmm looks like we could be restricted to GBA to offer our 2D joy...

What gets me is the fact that they have went out of their way to tell everyone that it is nothing like CastleVania 64 - but yet, the parts where you aren\'t fighting, looks exactly like Castlevania 64  - down to level design. My guess is its DMC combat, and the rest is pure Castlevania 64.

*gag*
