Topic: Virtual Reality Castlevania?

[Reinhart77]

Just thought I'd toss out the subject of what you'd think about a Castlevania game made for Virtual Reality headset like Morpheus on the PS4.

One of my greatest requirements for a Castlevania game is the amount of immersion that you get in it.  I was very pleased with the level immersion you got in Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate in 3D, and the fact you could control the camera and explore a more open world in Lords of Shadow 2.  I guess the next step would be a Virtual Reality game.  You'd probably end up sacrificing traditional gameplay for more immersion.  But if I were to play a virtual reality monster hunting game, I'd just rather it be a Castlevania game given the choice.  I'd like to walk down those halls.  Considering they've already made a first person rail shooter, there's some precedent for a game like this.

Anyways, I'm super psyched about Project Morpheus.  Gonna get the PS4 for it.

I love this idea. May as well try something, right? At least this idea has the potential to be something special.

Port Castlevania Arcade to it. Instant win.

That would be good and exciting for people without digital motion sickness.
As for me, I'm out of the picture.

This ^. I´m still waiting for a port of that game.

As for a VR Castlevania, I think is possible. In the first years of the franchise, I wouldn´t imagine a fighting game or a puzzle game, so nothing is impossible for a Castlevania game ...

PC... Skyrim... Modded... Oculus Rift...

Thats about as close as your likely to ever get. Im willin to bet that 90% of the games that make it to the ps4 vr will be entirely IPs

I think this is one of the reasons I feel VR is a fad and will always remain a fad. That and, it can't be good for your eyes to have a screen THAT close to them. Remember when we were children, our parents used to say, "Don't sit too close to the television, you'll strain your eyes!". Not kidding, I used to always sit close to the tv and my eyes are shit. Imagine wearing a tv to your head? It's a bunch of eye problems waiting to happen. My eyes are throbbing just thinking about it!

This ^ is a good point.

I remember that one main reason for the failure of the Nintendo Virtual Boy was the headache that gave to the persons who test it (sort of). One remedy I believe, if its posible a VR CV game, would be a short-length game, that not compromise the eyes health with its continuous use.

 I just don't think first person would really suit Castlevania.

[Inccubus]

No. Just, no.

Till they find a good way to incorporate Third person games with the rift, noooope.

Didn't Cox tweeted a pic of him wearing the rift with Los2 once? I wonder whatever happened of that.

At this point, I'm thinking a Wii U eShop port would be really nice. You have a machine that I'm sure handles the graphics, and the MotionPlus for better accuracy. The PlayStation Move proved itself to be absolute garbage for on-rail shooters (and everything else), being bested by the Wii's standard remote for accuracy.

Wasn't Castlevania: The Arcade first person, though?

akumajo dracula the arcade was just a weird expiriment that literally came outta nowhere & was unexpected, however konami never really gave it a chance outside of Japan (although i do recall a few posts online here n there saying that they seen a unit at their local arcade/Dave n Busters/gaming locale, but those are few & far between)

the best we could do is start a campaign asking for konami to port it (shoulda been started a long time ago honestly) otherwise we just gotta enjoy it thru videos on youtube

Strangely of all the experiments and side-games (Judgment, HD, Pachislot, Arcade), this is the only one we don't get.

The only one that looked worthwhile.

>:O

Wii U port or I bomb Konami. Makin' my demands. OPEWRATION CASHLEVANIA THE ARCAID
