Sindra Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, remember that trailer for that game "Lords of Shadow" that surfaced last year, and how much it looked like Castlevania what with the chain-sword-whip and the Simon Belmont-looking guy? Looks like it will be, in fact, a Castlevania game. And Hideo Kojima is involved. That mysterious MASK project that was being hinted towards by Kojima Productions? Yeah, this was it. And it's being produced by someone *other than* Igarashi. More specifically Dave Cox of Konami Europe, along with MercurySteam. And it's slated for 2010 on 360 and PS3. This very well could be the new Symphony of the Night for this generation. If it is, I will be so stoked. Beyond stoked. Uber-stoked. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I concur with this statement. I am massively stoked for this. First Team Ninja developing Metroid and now Kojima (co)developing Castlevania? Madness? You bet, but the best kind there is. Quote
yangfeili Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hrrrmmm, just looks like more of the Devil May Cry Lite COMBOCOMBOCOMBO gameplay they've already tried twice. Not terribly impressed. Quote
Sindra Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, one of my only reservations is that it might turn out like God of War with vampires. Edit: - Trailer's up http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/e3_2009/castlevania/ Quote
OceansAndrew Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, one of my only reservations is that it might turn out like God of War with vampires. you say that like it's a bad thing; trailer looks cool Quote
Sindra Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 True. I remember back in the day when I said "Christ I wish Castlevania were more like God of War." So, retro-wish granted? Quote
zircon Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Wow, Patrick Stewart as the VO for the trailer. Very cool. Quote
Dr.Flintlock Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Wasn't Dracula's origin already explained? He was that Mattias character from Lament of Innocence right? I like what I'm seeing so far, and I doubt its going to be like God of War. Frenetic combat kinda reminds me of a weird gothic version of Zone of the Enders (and even then, I think that's a stretch). VO's look solid though. I wonder if they'll make Jason Isaacs Dracula. He's certainly menacing enough in most of his film roles (See: The Patriot) I will say though that I felt the werewolves were spammed a little too much. At least show a damn floating Medusa head... Oh wait, even better....A current-gen high rendered...FLEA MAN!!! Quote
The Phalanx Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I am now having the best day ever. Wasn't Dracula's origin already explained? He was that Mattias character from Lament of Innocence right? From the attire of the protagonist and the general style of the game, I'm getting the impression that this occurs somewhere between Lament of Innocence and Castlevania 3 (or Castlevania Legends if you wanna get REAL technical, but that's not canon anymore so...). There's something like a 400 year gap between the two, and Mattias was roaming the world doing...something. Gathering power, one would assume. A current-gen high rendered...FLEA MAN!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf Quote
JCvgluvr Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 LOL, I completely ignored Sindra's first post until I read, "it's slated for 2010 on 360 and PS3." Then, I became excited. But when I read, "This very well could be the new Symphony of the Night for this generation." Now...IT'S ON! HECK YEAH!!! Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I'd need more details to see what separates this from a Devil May Cry/God of War clone, but I'm still excited. Patrick fucking Stewart!!! Quote
Sindra Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Yes, they actually had a BUDGET with this. It's like....unheard of in a Castlevania game. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 A current-gen high rendered...FLEA MAN!!! Probably worse than the damned medusa heads that float around, at least they got a pattern but the flea men? NoooOOOooooo they gotta be all over you like a supermodel over a porcelain bowl and humping on you every chance they get. >:L Quote

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 They're the bloody murlocs of the Castlevania universe. Quote
Triad Orion Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Murlocs would be insulted by that comparison. Even they aren't that numerous and don't cause petrification. Quote
Sindra Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 We're talking Fleamen....not medusa heads. Quote
Triad Orion Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 My mistake. ...Yeah, those are the equivalent of Murlocs, then. Bloody annoying things. Only get worse when they're the ones that throw knives on top of it. Quote
