Likewise but I'm still willing to give it a shot if it's good; they did a decent job with Curse of the Moon.
Anyway, there's footage of the new backer demo and from what I see it's a good thing it got delayed because there's a lot of rough edges to it - every character model looks of noticeably less quality than Miriam; the game foists tutorials in a game that has no need for them; voice work is a mistake and waste of money and, it would be better to use 2D art assets for dialogue sequences, basically take a hint from GBA-DS CV games and keep voice work to a gameplay minimum but it's obvious they wanted to lure people with a meme cast; weapons seem unbalanced, slow weapons do too little damage compared to the dps you can get out of a knife or rapier; the shard steal sequence looks like it will get grating after a while, hopefully there'll be a option to skip it; it still stirs my sprinkles that you have to go through a hall with a bunch of portraits of assholes dressed like Dracula throwing gang signs; the character moves kinda slow but maybe there will be equipment or abilities for that purpose.
Has its own complications but I'm more interested in Blasphemous.

That was outsourced to Inti Creates. The real game is being made by two studios I can't find any info on named ArtPlay and DICO so I'd be really apprehensive at best. Still, we've managed to go about 4 years now without them shitting on their fanbase so that's well ahead of the kickstarter curve I guess.

I replayed SOTN recently and it's one of those games I'd love to see remastered:
- all the 3D stuff redone
- fix the localization, particularly weapon and enemy names
- new areas and enemies (no prob if they re-use NDS era assets)
- retouch some sprites, especially the Saturn ones
- NG+ cycles with scaling
- rebalance the difficulty (as is, some enemies can barely tickle you while others do huge chunks of damage) and add some new attacks for some bosses like Beelzebub calling assorted formations of flies
- there's a button that sees no use, maybe have that be the item use so we're not constantly equipping and unequipping things
- ditch some obtuse shit like having to use a library card on the final boss to get the last 0.01% of the map
- give Dracula a second phase
- Succubus rematch in inverted castle
- Maria and Richter selectable from the start and maybe a unlockable character or two (Trevor, Sypha and Grant working as in CV3 could be interesting, the base sprites are in the game already)
- some quality of life changes like better menus and a item box, maybe add a NPC to sell gear surplus to
- a proper Axe Armor mode
- a option to play the original so everyone's happy

True but the whole blood sucking thing really sealed that association. Count Orlok was the most correct with the sharp incisors to cut and then slurp the blood and he was also closer to folk descriptions of vampires, a shambling corpse looking dude followed by rats and none of that aristocratic poise almost every Dracula has. CVs got them all plus Brauner who's a bit of both with a dash of Picasso.
Dracula has had tons of forms (including Pazuzu for some reason) but the bat demon is the most common. My favorites being CotM (cool form, pretty challenging and the music is top notch) and OoE where he walks.

There's a weird sort of logic to this that actually makes sense when you consider it. Pazuzu was always considered evil, or at least dangerous, but he fought other evil spirits. This parallels with the historical Vlad rather nicely as he was considered extremely dangerous, but he kept those moor fucks out so people put up with him and even gave him gifts every now and then.

Memes aside, that does make sense. Incidentally, I've always wandering about the power rankings in that freakin' castle, a big ass bat gets to be a boss (piss easy but a boss nonetheless) while Cthulhu and a bunch of deities and high ranked demons get to roam around as mooks.
On the note of Cthulhu, Lovecraft's outer gods could make for some interesting connections between Dracula and the primordial Chaos if they ever want to go that route. in b4 Nyarlathotep as a tutorial area enemy

LoI establishes his backstory and relationship with the Belmont clan; he's a strategist for the Church (acquired the title of Count during the Crusades) and while abroad his wife dies of illness so no vengeful roaches like in the novel nor did he live as a hostage among them like the historical Dracula so it's a mix of both but admittedly more pending to the novel. LoI adds some problems in the mix because now there was a woman before Lisa and I don't know if it's ever explained that Vlad Tepes is a alias (on top of his new name).

Different stories have different lore. Anne Rice's books have vampires that don't age once they're turned, whereas one book I read during my vampire binge had the kids continue to age up through puberty because they were getting adult hormones from their victims which tricked their body into aging to adulthood, or something.
I like to think it's something like The Belgariad, where the wizards and sorceresses are immortal but they age to the point where they think they are ideal. So the old man grows to be a properly wizard looking man with a long grey beard and bushy eyebrows, but his daughter stops aging in her twenties/early thirties at her beauty/reproductive prime.
tl;dr, the magic makes them what they want to be, or think they should be

No, I don't want another lord of shadows scenario. They've got a good chunk of the staff from the PS2, GBA and DS games still, plus M2 is always up for work.
If they're gonna do a new series, why not just continue with the Sonia Belmont offshoot timeline? That way you can have more freedom and not have to worry about messing up the original timeline.
Hell they could just resurrect Castlevania: Resurrection and let M2 remake Castlevania Legends. You'd got one game to experiment with an help establish a revival and then you got a good remake to please old fans.

When did Symphony of the night take place? Because there was a neutron bomb in Dracula's castle in that game. It takes place before AoS, obviously, so if that was in there I'm not surprised there was a handgun lying around. I think the real reason you don't see many easily-accessible future/projectile weapons in those games is that it makes some enemies trivial if you can just take them out from a distance not like any of the metroidvania enemies besides bosses are all that difficult to deal with but still

Officially, Dracula's castle is a work that "embraces chaos", so there's items and layouts that fuck time/space normalcy. Hence the overall internal schematic changes, technology being present that wasn't actually widely-used until the Industrial Revolution, and even spots full of actual holy light/landmarks, such as all of your save spots in the Metroidvanias. Symphony, iirc, was 1700s - 1800s

You mean the hordes of zombies and ghouls that resulted from both razing towns to ashes or from robbing massive graves (like the ones the black plague brought on)? Do you mean the small army of lycanthropes tromping about, or the very-cognizant humans he had working for him directly in various states in his castle's caste (the maids/keepers, the alchemists, the higher tier ones like Isaac & Hector)? You mean the various ghosts, spirits, and wraiths still caught in the moment of battle or victimhood when they died? Those regulars, whom no average settlement could actually march against or hold out?
And none of that actually regards the gargoyles, lesser demons, minotaurs, gorgons, bugbears, and shit that humanity had no hope against without resorting to pleading for specials in the Church or from the Belmonts to step forward on.
If anything, the Netflix showing of Ellis's was tame as fuck. And in a good way, since by canon establishment (Curse of Darkness), Belmont managed to amass a small army to siege Dracula's castle—not just himself, a pirate, a dampir, and a druid.

Instead she looks like she fused with a sheikh's bathroom utensils.
Carmilla (incidentally, the one who could logically rock a S&M theme) could have looked good if the designer had two working brain cells to work with the lingerie aspect of her costume and imperatively ditch those razored clogs she's wearing. Maybe something similar to another Carmilla.

Could make a multiplayer SotN. Nobody's kidding themselves, SotN isn't some bastion of pixel perfect design, it's just fun enemies and combat so the formula would work great if you just stuck in another player and made it coop.
I was incredibly confused that portrait of ruin wasnt exactly that. They give you two characters, there's coop fights, there's coop platforming puzzles, there's multiplayer, but there's no multiplayer coop. It took me a few days before I finally gave up and accepted defeat.

A coversation with Mina mentions
>In 1999, a ritual was conducted in Europe. And that's when Dracula's castle was sealed inside it…
So from the looks of it, it was a simple matter of 1: Knowing exactly when and where Dracula would resurrect this time 2: Having the Habuka handy to seal him away (Note that even if the Belmonts knew about the potential, the only other post-Perry expedition instances of Dracula awakening were during the World Wars which makes it kinda impossible to try it)

-I'm positive the creators had been trying to make a CastleVania movie for a long time. It was a live action movie originally.
-It's obvious that it was supposed to be a movie and not a 4 episode miniseries. The cuts between each episode are obvious.
Pros:
-Some of the lore is correct. Syfa is petrified, Trevor is banished, Alucard's relationship with his father is complicated, Trevor's whip is salted, Syfa uses fire & ice magic, etc.
-Action scenes are good enough you enjoy rewatching them. There's a place that looks like a clock tower that was amazing.
-Character design is good. People look more or less as they should.
-Voice acting was okay. It didn't distract me.
Cons:
-Story is boring.
-Church been evil while Dracula is pro-science. Wtf. I would have preferred this instance to show the Church not as its typical corrupt version but as it should have been: with cathedrals as places so holy that monsters losed hitpoints constantly while inside.
-Everything is gigantic and depressing. Happyness can never be achieved in this place. No songs, no flower gardens, no children playing. Even before the attack of monsters this place looked like another planet.
-Apart from the main characters, you have no way to realize you're watching CastleVania. No gothic architecture, no cool sculptures.
-Years of the greatest soundtracks in history go to waste. Music is 'Metroid: Other M' tier.
3/5, I'll watch season 2 only vecause it's CastleVania III: Dracula's Curse, of all stories.

In Rondo of Blood she's a little younger than in Symphony of the Night.
If as Richter you rescue her (near the beginning of the game) you can choose to keep playing as her. She's easier to control so I consider playing as her as Easy mode despite generally being less powerful than Richter. Her special 'secret' attack is overpowered and allows you to defeat bosses in seconds.

How much evidence does it take you to believe something. Do you also refuse to believe the Earth is round, until you're able to personally get up into orbit and see it yourself? The only way Maria could be flat in those pictures is if she stuffed by an incredible amount, which doesn't make much sense and it less likely than her just hitting puberty early.

If you had a shot at designing a new modern 3D Castlevania then how would you do it?
Spoiler for autism. I'd combine Symphony of the Night metroidvania gameplay with a variety of whip moves based on tapping or holding the attack button. Hearts will be used for "holy sub weapons". They will be your only range option and can be free aimed and sometimes have a melee attack (daggers and hand axe for example). Also a lot of sub-weapons have AoE options like Holy water explodes like grenades while Saint's Ashes scatter on the floor and damage whoever stands on it. Sacred fire is a torch that creates a pillar of flame when thrown of the ground. Things like that.

Slower, more methodical DMC game starring an new Belmont with strength and agility similar to Richter. Crank up the horror atmosphere, while still having some goofy shit peppered about. Have Rondo style branching paths, where alternate stages have to be entered through secret exits. Give Belmont a few distinct weapons, including the whip, to keep combat varied and show off his martial prowess. Have some non-numbers upgrades, and make them visually display on his character model. That was one of the few good things LoS did.

What do you think about adding an alt-attack to sub weapons? For daggers and axes alt-attack can be a quick melee attack faster than the whip. Holy water you can pour directly on the enemy and watch them burn, etc.
I think dodging can technically stay in the game because to me dodging is "jumping laterally". But if the agility is going to be more like classic-vania with maneuvers then when you dodge you commit to your direction like jumping. You can also only dodge moving forward. No side dodge rolls or back rolls while lock on (if there is a lock on) or focusing/aiming (focusing is just holding your facing in one direction with camera behind you, no lock-on mechanic). Those are side jumps and back jumps. Due to slower paced combat I predict It's more useful to walk or dash out of the way of attacks and counter than dodge rolling. Dodge rolling would have the advantage of letting you quickly cover ground as a last minute maneuver but leaves you open until you stand up or fall prone on your face. And yes I would implement crawling as an evasive move for cover and getting through tight spaces at the expense of using your whip, but you can still throw sub-weapons.
The more I think about this the more I think simplifying Metal Gear Solid movement with Castlevania weapons. The game isn't going to be deep in stealth, far from it. But the commitment to movement really has to make you think about what you do before you do it. You have to learn your limits to get out of traps and ambushes and counter more than be a bad-ass and power through everything. Also this kind of system will be built around platforming as well as combat.
If there's any numerical upgrades I say have it be health/heart/damage upgrades and bottles. Damage will visibly be Vampire Killer upgrades. Health and hearts capacity can be scattered through the levels hidden in places if leveling isn't included. Reason I chose metroidvania design is because the 3D level leaves the player wanting to explore more non-linearly. Therefore with bottles that store doses of medicine (potion, antitodte, etc.) you can explore the game more without frequently visiting save points as often. Areas would be less like "levels" and more like sections of the world with multiple entrances and exits. Your goal is Dracula. So you need to go to these areas, kill bosses, and collect what you need to get to the throne room.

I mentioned Richter for a reason. He can do back flips, forward slide jumps, all sorts of shit. Belmonts should feel powerful. There's a reason they're the best vampire hunters in the world. When I said slower, I didn't mean down to something like Metal Gear, Resident Evil, or a Souls game. I just meant more deliberate, powerful movements, as opposed to someone like Dante, who is quick and snappy with most of his movement. I'm thinking a linear, level-based action game, like DMC, just with the branching paths I mentioned. Make it focused on combat and platforming, and keep the exploration purely for secret bonuses and paths. In other words, I'm leaning more towards classicvania, not metroidvania.
5b7e88 No.15499980
>>15499583
Fair enough. I don't think speed as slow as Metal Gear is going to work. The game will be much faster than that but still weighty enough to punish you for your mistakes when you dun goof. Movement system can work for either/or style of game: classic or metroid. Medicine can still work in linear classic like e-tanks. You can only carry one at a time but must immediately use the new one you pick up. Health and heart capacity upgrades can be optional rewards for exploring, but once you move on you can't go back to look for them. Dante Must Die mode difficulty will remove upgrades and potion bottles.

What about if you went a step beyond and made the agility similar to Juste?

Why not just make him Julius and base the game on the 1999 war? And you know what would go with the setting? musou

No, make it an SRPG where every tile has its own particular platforming area that you fight enemies at for a limited amount of time per turn.

Only with time travel shenanigans Carrie and Maria. Also I want to play Frankenstein's Monster with his own story and moveset. Also Giant Bat should be a bat-girl loli commander.

That was seriously good. I had some apprehensions about it but it was everything I wanted. I never liked the Symphony of the Night type gameplay.

I want to play as Old Axe Armor.

Musou sucks, though.

So Castlevania Requiem got rated on the ESRB now, so I'm fully expecting it to be a quick port released digitally before Halloween.

>If you had a shot at designing a new modern 3D Castlevania then how would you do it?
Castlevania 64/Legacy of Darkness remakes with all the cut-content they planned, some minor QoL improvements, proper camera controls/lock on and Old Axe Armor mode. That's it. C64/LoD were exactly what how the series should have jumped to 3D but was held back by hardward limitations.

I'm not seeing anywhere if it's going to have the extra stuff from the Saturn version but I'm guessing no.

Multiplayer? How much does it have from the original even in its unfinished state? Am I better off waiting for a miracle for Konami to port it over officially?

Anyone play Nocturne of the Tabletop? Julius is a goddamn beast in that.
