I think a Belmont sneaking in with missionaries would be the most likely scenario there. A monster hunter among monks lol.



Very true, how could I forget about the missionaries. Makes more sense than giving muskets to nobunaga ,but the ending could be very bloody with the persecutions of the japanese Christians and such would the fuma be an adversary or ally? Would there be bad blood between the Belmont clan and Fuma clan?

If anything don't you think she needs a break from cv let her do something else that is how I see it.

Yep also she's the main composer to it and the soundtracks are nothing to Castlevania music

The only thing at this stage worrying me with Mirror of Fate are these (very loose) rumours that it'll be cel-shaded (or amount to a cel-shaded intro).

I don’t know where I’m going with this, I could be worrying over nothing at all (and a false rumour).  What does anyone else thing of this, or care to speculate on which art style would be preferred for the game?

Castlevania games have had by nature bright, black-outlined and/or very cartoony or anime-like inspired sprites and backgrounds before, so what’s the problem?  I cannot shake my inner feeling that Castlevania should really try a less ‘perfected’ hand in the art stakes.  There’s too much work in some of the backgrounds of Ecclesia and Portrait, they appear too meticulous if you like, refined, polished, colourful.  Of course, it’s the nostalgia in me that secretly yearns something of a return to that palette of SCV4 or what even Belmont’s Revenge did from a creative point of view, really drab and at-times rough textures, rugged, crumbling terrains.

I’ve played the likes of Outland below, and the graphics feel fresh, modern and fantastic, but I cannot shake the feeling that it all becomes a bit bland and same-ish after a while.  Hard to put the finger on why exactly.  I'm just hard to please!

Never say never.  And a possible Mirror of Fate: Dream Team Castlevania could still feature the likes of "Souji" Taro (SCIV) or Kinuyo Yamashita (I/III)!

I can't see cel-shading as an automatic negative Silverlord. Some of my very favorite games use it. Mainly the original Sly Cooper trilogy which I love to pieces, they were able to create a wonderful unashamedly cartoony neo-art deco world with that. Complete with deliciously moody, deep-blue and black night levels at times.
So I think if the devs do go with Cel-shading for a Castlevania as long as the rest of the art direction works with it it shouldn't be a problem.

Wow... Just wow? So, I haven't been around much and put myself in lurker status just to casually browse around and see whats new every once in awhile and I for one am honestly excited that two titles will be release of the franchise. Only one issue, why so much bitching over a Japanese man with a long shaggy beard who needs to wash his hair every once in awhile and a bald headed, beer drinking, tea sipping con-artist? Look - the point of a producer is to SELL the game, even if small little "Lies" are placed in to it. It's apart of the business, I assume some of you work or have worked in retail stales and marketing.

Secondly, why so much hatred for the game types? Screw you guys I'll stick to my good ol' NES classicvanias which more than stomp in the new age cycles of todays age :P (Jk!) Seriously, from what I've read - I look forward to seeing what Konami has plans to do with the series. Stop complaining about the "Hollywood" music score, I prefer to call it "New-age" classical. Stop screaming about the constant "Anime plot" and 'Cartoon' drawings, it was stated since day #1 of the art change from DoS's release is that IGA wanted to attract these two audience types -

A. Children/Teens
B.  Women

What is majority of the money making done via towards the entertainment industry?  What was stated above. Who cares if the plot was dumb downed and simplified - with a cheesy plot. Who cares if Zobek's narration for Gabriel's "Pain" is more based towards the original journal concept of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Wow, you guys scream too much, its worse than Final Fantasy 7 fanbois/girls....

It honestly embarrassed me to see this, for being a fan of the series since the 80s. Grow up and learn to see a series mature and take a new toll, its like people screaming about how metallica sold out after they simply cut their hair. -.-;

Either way, still love you dungeoneers <3

Hey, bitching is guaranteed to happen in any given fandom. :P
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.
^^
You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

If both IGA and Cox are going to present this game I hope they are going to do a comedic duo act complete with eye poking and throwing pies.

The running gag would be that they both think of themselves as the producer of the Castlevania series while accusing the other of being a fraud.

I've always felt that LoI and CoD would've been MUCH better games if they were 2D. LoS is fine as a 3D game, but I could see it working as a 2D game as well.

Also, I don't know why, but I'm feeling REALLY optimistic about these rumors. They might not even be true. Maybe I'm just starving for some fun, 2D Castlevania. Either way, I'm just glad we *apparently* have something to look forward to.

More Castlevania is always a good thing in my book and with Mirror of Fate and Lords of Shadows 2 being spread out over 3DS, Wii U, and other platforms (for the latter of the two), it looks as though Konami is set out to please all of its different fans.

Or I'm just looking too much into this.
